The Billionaire 1&2
Chapter 23
“Who is there?” Amber asked trying to act tough. She is on her morning walk around the garden when she felt someone following her. “Is there anyone here?” She asked again as she feels her surroundings.
She was startled when she heard a footstep behind her.
“Ma’am, are you okay?” A voice asked. When she turns around, it was no other than the new gardener. “Ma’am?” Julian asked.
“Oh, it’s you.” She breathes in, calming her nerves.
“Are you okay, ma’am?” Julian asked.
“Yes, I’m fine.” She answered. “What are you doing here? You should not be here today.” She cannot help not to ask. Ever since the man came to the mansion, she started feeling uncomfortable and that someone is eyeing on her.
“We didn’t finish the work yesterday, so Mang Tirso decided that we will come again today.” Julian answered while staring directly at her, making her uncomfortable. It seems that he’s been looking through her soul.
“Is that so. Then I’ll leave you here then so that you can continue your work.” She said and immediately leaves, she doesn’t want to be alone with that man.
Amber went directly to their room and checked her phone. Her heart beats fast when she saw a missed call and message from Rafael. She immediately opened and read his message.
Hi, hon, how are you? I hope you are doing fine. Don’t worry too much about me. I am doing well here… Well, maybe not because you’re not here beside me. But I will see you soon. Take Care!
She immediately dialled his number but disappointment awaits her as he cannot be reached. She decided to write a reply to his message.
I miss you, hon. Come back home, please.
She sighed and hit the send button. She wanted to talk to someone so she called Danielle.
“Hey, sis, how are you?” She asked when Danielle answered her call.
“I’m fine sis.” Danielle answered. “Do you have any news about the boys?” She asked, concern is evident on her voice.
“I just received a message from Rafael. He says that they are okay and they will be back soon.” She said.
“Is that so… That’s great then.” Danielle said and sighed. “If only Joshua call or message us, his parents are worried sick about him. We tried calling Gabriel but he is also out of reach.” Danielle said then she heard a loud commotion. “I’ll call you back later, sis.” Danielle hurriedly said and cuts off the line.
“What is happening to us?” She asked herself and let out a sigh. She is about to get out of the room to have breakfast when her phone rings again. She excitedly checked it hoping that it was Rafael but to her disappointment it was Shin Lim. She didn’t answer her phone and block the number.
“Good morning, mom, dad.” She greeted her in-laws who are in the dining table and waited for her.
“Good morning too, dear.” Allison greeted. “I was about to ask Berta to call you.” She added. “How is your sleep?” Allison asked.
“I can’t really sleep last night because I spend the whole afternoon sleeping. That is why I took an early walk around the garden.” Amber said as she took a sip on her milk.
