The Odd Billionaire

Traizle

Today, we went to the D Company to attend the meeting for the movie production. Like what Zarsuelo predicted, I also think that the movie will be a hit.

They just announced the new movie, but people are already looking forward to it. In particular, the leading actor and actress are good and talented.

I can't help but be amazed at how Zarsuelo thinks and analyzes whether he will benefit or not. He may be impulsive in his decisions, but most of those went well. I am also thinking that he is genius with this line of work.

"Cut!" The director yelled. "That was good! We will change the scene." he added.

"Will they make a movie of our story if I asked them?" Zarsuelo commented beside me.

I turned to him. "And why would you make a movie?" I asked.

He smiled. "I want to share our story with them. Our story is awesome, you know." he answered.

"It would be better if only our family, friends, you and I knew about us. That is more special than showing them how awesome our relationship is." I told him.

I need to change his decision already, or else he will do it later if he really wants it.

"They might do your tactics and it won't be unique anymore." I added.

He nodded. "You are right, it is a good thing you have told me," he answered. "Anyway, do you want to go to the company already?" He asked.

"We should." I replied.

We went back to the company right away after.

I saw new documents on my desk. I picked them up and went to Zarsuelo's office to give him these documents.

"Wife! Miss me already?" He asked.

If I hit him with these documents I am holding?

"These are the mew documents on my desk. Read it and tell me your decision, so that I will know what to reply to them." I told him and handed over the documents. "Sit first and watch me read them." he said, grinning.

"If I hit your eyes with that documents? So that I don't have to watch you read those?" I warned him.

He raised his hands. "I don't want to lose my eyes. I won't be able to see you. That will kill me." He replied, and opened the first document.

I sat on his couch and fished out my phone to review his schedule.

Right. We won't be able to see each other next week. He will fly to Singapore to attend a business conference. Since his company is globally competitive, he can promote it to the other company and may be able to get new trusted clients. "Wife, this one is good," he said, waving the white folder document. "And this one, I rejected this thrice already. They surely want to work with me, but I won't work with them." he added while waving the transparent folder. It was the first time I had seen him reject a proposal.

"Why? Do you think their proposal is not good?" I asked him and approached him to get the rejected proposal.

"They have been sending the same proposal. I heard some bad news about them too. They were on the news not because they achieved something, but because their customers were complaining. So, I don't want to work with that kind of company. Not in a million years." he explained.

So, it is not because the proposal is not good. He will really reject it, even if their proposal is okay.

Well, he is right. Working with that company will damage his company's reputation. Especially, if that company did something bad again. That will greatly affect us.

"I really think that you are a genius with your work." I praised him.

He quickly looked at me with his triumphant smile. "Really? You think so?" He asked excitedly.

I nodded.

There is no point in lying.

"I do always find you cool when you are working seriously." I shared.

He coughed. "I am always working seriously." he replied.

"But whenever you are with me? I don't think so." I mocked him.

He pouted. "It's because I love you. I can't help but be giddy with you." he answered.

I wanted to tell him how much I loved him too. But I can't bring myself to tell him. It is not because I don't love him. I just can't say it right away and I don't know why. I can just show him how I love him.

But I can't say it the way I'd like.

How can he say those words to me without a problem?

How can I say those words to him?

Without stuttering and with full confidence.

"I will go back to my office now, I will tell them your replies." I told him and get the other documents.

As I was about to go out. I stop and look back at him.

"Let's date after work, okay?" I told him before I went out of his office.

I will just recuperate with him for a date for now.

I will make sure to say those words next time to him. Not now, but soon.

Before our work shift ended, I texted the owner to tell her I wouldn't be coming to work. I also texted Lyndon that I would go home late.

"Guys." I called the four.

They all turned to face me.

I should tell them about us. Although Zarsuelo told them already. It is still different with me saying it to them.

"What? Are you going to ask us to drink?" Alex asked.

I shake my head. "It is about Zarsuelo and I." I told them. "We are in a relationship." I finally said.

They smiled at me.

I guess they are not against our relationship.

"We knew that a long time ago." Sonia replied.

"Sir told that one the night you answered him." Claire added.

He may have called them after calling Lyndon.

"Didn't he tell you?" Alessa asked.

"He told me about it, I just wanted to do the same as well. I also want to share it with you guys because I think of you as my friends." I confessed. "You are finally opening up to us, huh." Alex commented.

I looked at him.

"Before, you were still guarded. We always talk about how serious you are." Alex added.

"We thought you would only see us as your colleagues. We are happy to hear you say that you acknowledge us as your friends." Claire said.

"Sir. Zarsuelo told me that it took him weeks or a month to be close to you. We have been sharing information about you with him." Alessa added.

They must have been afraid of me before. I know I am too serious. That is why people mistake me as a hostile person.

"I grew up with my two brothers. Before that, we experienced the violent hands and mouth of our mother. A lot of things happened to us. Maybe that is why I seem so serious," I shared. "But I appreciate how you treat me well. I am thankful already for that. That is why I know I can trust you with our relationship." I added.

"Congratulations to the both of you." Claire congratulated us.

"Let's bond again next time, okay? Let's drink until we can't move anymore!" Alessa said.

"On one of our days off." Alex replied excitedly.

I nodded. "Yes, let's get drunk next time until we can't move from our seats." I answered.

"Knock! Knock, knock! Calling for Traizle Cerezo!" I heard Zarsuelo say something outside the door.

"Your boyfie is here, go now." Sonia said.

The other gently pushed me away and giggled secretly.

"Take care on your way." I said before approaching Zarsuelo.

"You guys as well! Have fun!" They replied.

When we got out of our office and walked to the exit, Zarsuelo is smiling ears to ears.

"Why are you smiling like a crazy man there?" I asked.

"I have too many reasons to smile like this, you know," he answered. "You wanna know them?" He asked, so I nodded. "You asked me to date a while ago and I heard you opened up with them. I felt somewhat proud and happy for you." he added.

Well, it is also because of him. If he had not made them curious about us before, we would not definitely be friends now. Their curiosity about our relationship leads them to get close to me. I won't deny it. I am thankful that they saw me as their friends too.

"We became friends and it would be bad of me if I didn't let them into my life like you," I said. "It is hard for me to gain friends since I am busy with my brothers. I have a few of them and I am already thankful for that." I added.

"If we didn't go to the restaurant where you had been working before, I don't think I would still be happy," he said. "I tried not to show how well I knew you. I even let my greediness hide and observe you for a few days. I wanted to show you that maybe fate really wanted us to be one, and now I got you." he added.

I smiled at him. "I won't say anything bad to that. If you didn't do that, I'll be working my ass off and won't be able to meet Claire, Sonia, Alessa, and Alex. I won't be able to meet Tyler, Aeron and the others. I won't be able to know how a company works. Meeting you isn't bad after all." I told him.

"Aw~ how can you say those words with that sweet smile of yours? I am melting." he said while holding his chest as if he was really melting.

I drew close and pecked at his lips. "There. Melt more." I added.

We should really date more.
