The Billionaire 1&2

“Are you okay?” Rafael breaks the silence as he drives.

“Yeah.” Amber simply answered and looks outside the window.

“Is it okay to leave there without settling the issues about you?” He asked.

“I’m used to it. Besides, I’m not the only one they’ve been gossiping.” She answered as she looks outside the window.

“What do you mean?” He asked curiously.

“They’ve been gossiping about me the moment I started renting there.” She sighed as she remembers all those gossips about her. “A neighbour started a rumor that I worked at a bar as a prostitute due to a reason that I’m almost not at home. My shift at the restaurant is from eight am to five pm, while it’s six pm to four am.” She paused. “They still continued making gossips about me even when I stopped working at the bar. They said that a costumer made me pregnant. I don’t know if there are still gossips about me.”

“You didn’t do anything to clear your name?” He asked.

“What for? They’re closed-minded and besides I know what is the truth.” She answered. “Maybe now, they’re gossiping about us. I know how people think there.” She added as she watched where they were passing until they entered a subdivision.

“And that is?” Rafael asked.

“That you’re one of my costumers.” She said, unbothered. She frowned when Rafael parked the car in front of a two-story mansion. If here memory serves her right, this is where Rafael stopped when she persuaded him to go to her apartment.

“This is your house?” She asked when they get out of the car. Her eyes wandered around and there is a mini-park near the mansion. “Amber, get in here!” Rafael ordered who is now at the door step.

They went into the living room and it made her flinched.

“Something wrong?” Rafael asked.

“N-no… Nothing.” She answered as her eyes wandered around the living room. “Your living room reminds me of something.” She said. “Uhm, where should I sleep?” She diverted the subject. “I feel tired and I want to rest.” She added.

“I’ll accompany you.” Rafael said. “where should I put your things, by the way?”

“If possible, in the room that I’ll be occupying. If that’s okay with you.” She answered.
