The Billionaire's Bite

Chapter 10



"I guess it's your morning today?" I will ask. He lay down on the sofa.

"There's an event that the boss is taking care of, we also finished our works so we left," he explained, he got up and went to the kitchen.

"WOW!" its ejaculation from inside the kitchen. It came out with a plate with only pickles, I cooked it this afternoon I know as much as he likes it.

"You really like Anna, don't you? Do you know that sometimes I think, it's nice to be you; beautiful, kind, good at cooking and most of all hardworking. Girlfriend material is your awra" She said as he continued to applaud adobo. I just smiled bitterly as I watched him.

"You don't want my life just in case," I replied smiling, the expression on his face gradually changed. She is not ignorant of my whole being, so he knows the story of my life.

"Aren't you interested anymore... F-Find your real parents again?" She was on the bell hesitating to ask, but I knew him. He didn't hide any questions from me, she was frank but she knew the limit.

"If it was just for me, they would have been dead in my heart and mind for a long time."

"Don't you want to hear what their reason is? Or maybe there's a different background that needs to be explained? Isn't it true that there's no smoke to be seen when there's no fire," I sniffed and smiled at him.

"It's up to destiny if our path is to be tampered with" was my simple answer. "I'll just take a shower" I said goodbye, I don't want to prolong that matter. He nodded and immediately went to the room to take a shower.

I also spent a few minutes to take a bath, I am now wearing a white t-shirt, black pants and black dollshoes. They told me at the hotel that they would only give me my uniform so I had to leave early because I would still be getting dressed there.

I first looked out the sliding window on the side, I could see the various lights coming from cars and buildings. It was dark all around, it was exactly six o'clock in the evening. I turned to look in the small mirror to see the shape of my face, I don't like to put lipstick on my face, when there is an occasion maybe yes. Powder and just a little liptint on the lips I'm fine.

I went out of the room and found Thea lying on the sofa, dressed in her house clothes and busy fiddling with her cellphone. She turned his gaze to me when he heard the door to my room open, he smiled foolishly at me. "You looked good besh!" She shouted. This woman's mouth is really bad.

"Tsee! I don't have any money" I replied and re -wore the rust -colored shoulder bag to my side.

"By the way, what time are you coming home?" he asked and handed me a key, it was probably a condo key.

'I was out at three in the morning," I explained.

"Be careful, we're in Manila" he reminded. I just nodded and left the condo, I even heard him waving at the door before I could finally get on the elevator.

Peacefully when I reached the BayLeaf three star hotel by taxi, I even stared at the tall building in front of me and breathed in the air before entering. A woman assisted me to sit in the lobby, later a woman approached the seat. At this age of 40 when examined, she gave me a wide smile.

"Anna Madrigal right?" she opened. I immediately stood up and smiled simply.

"It's me," I replied.

"I'm Belinda the hotel manager here," She kindly introduced. 'The boss is in another country but he has already told me everything, we are glad to work with you Anna," She added. "Me too," I replied.

"It's up to Andrea to take care of you and teach you what you need to know." he said and called a woman who I think is my age too. It was decent to wear a hotel uniform. "I'll go first," Ma'am Belinda let out. I smiled and nodded in response.

"Hi," Andrea opened up to me and waved her right hand. "I'm Andrea Azano, I'm just here for short!" he added. He held out his hand, and I immediately accepted him. "Anna Madrigal," I replied smiling.

"That's a long time here?" I couldn't help but ask.

'I've been working here for over a year," She replied, 'are you ready?" She added. Smiling I just nodded, he stepped in first while he tailed me.

I feel like a descendant who is amazed because of the size of this hotel, Aya introduced me to other employees at the hotel. He also told a lot about his experience here in this hotel, he said he was very confused and embarrassed when he first worked here because of the size and number of people here in the hotel but later he also got used to it.

Aya was easy to talk to and interesting so I didn't feel ashamed of her because of her character, we became even closer to each other as if we had known each other for a long time. Therefore, we became friends even though we did not know each other very well.

"Anna, ma'am Belinda is giving it to me" She said and handed over a paperbag, maybe it's my uniform.

"All right, I'll just get dressed" I said goodbye to him.

"Just wait for me in the reception area!" I nodded and immediately headed to the bathroom. I was also inside the cubicle for a few minutes before leaving, I was a little uncomfortable here in the lower uniform because it was not even knee length, even though I was not used to wearing gloves. I first checked my totality in the large mirror before exiting.

Just a few steps after I got out of the car, I could see a familiar face-The walking evil, none other than the man who snatched and ruined my footlong. She was accompanied by a woman, both of whom were well-dressed. Maybe you've already scored this, what else are the men and women going to do in the hotel? Praying in the bedroom?

We were still a few kilometers away from each other before meeting, forehead raised as we continued walking until we met. I stared at him wickedly as our volumes trailed, but he just looked at me expressionlessly and quickly as if you were innocent.

Unexpectedly, our eyes hit the woman with him. I immediately averted my eyes and quickened my pace, I was about to curve to the left when I suddenly stopped because the shout grabbed my attention.

"Hey! Miss wait!" I immediately turned my back and looked at the woman I was with before but she is no longer with me.

"Good evening ma'am, what can I do?" my polite opening.

"Nothing. I just want to ask why you seem so annoyed when you looked at my boyfriend? Are you one of his relatives?" She spoke rudely and raised an eyebrow.

"Do you any have a problem with him? Tell me?" She added. Many questions, even surpassed the miss universe!

"Stinky story ma'am, you don't want to hear it."

"What if I want," She said in disgust with me. Well, I don't like her too.

"Just ask him because my butt gets hot if I repeat that incident" I replied and gestured to look behind him when I saw godzilla approaching our habit.

"I'll go first," I politely promised, I could see the criticism on her face because of the annoyance, he reluctantly followed the demon man. He even gave me a threatening look before finally leaving.

I was just shaken as I made my way to the reception area, I found Aya standing nearby and she gave me a wide smile.

"First day of work, why is your face like that?" She opened with a laugh.

"I don't remember anything," I excused myself, handing him a small pin, my full name stamped on it. I put it on the left side of my chest like he did.

"Come on, it's work" She smiled again and stretched pretend.

"Good evening Sir, Ma'am. Welcome to BayLeaf Hotel, what can I do for you?" its lively opening to the incoming guests. The guest entered the hotel one after the other even at midnight, while others called to book a room. Time passed quickly, Aya and I went out together. We laughed as we left the hotel.

"Seriously? Never been a boyfriend?" She asked incredulously. "Oh no! Anna you look like that you can easily find here in manila. Lots of hot here!" thrilled he added.

"I don't need that" I replied, he gave me a disappointed look. It traveled over me like a trooper.

"You know Anna we deserve to be flirt 'cause we are gorgeous," she teased I just shook while laughing.

"Oh, Anna I'm leaving. I'll leave you here, see you next night. Be careful!" Just according to our last conversation before he left.

I nodded at the road while waiting for a taxi. In the distance I saw groups of men on a dark side of the road, circling as if someone was paying for a crime. A few seconds later, a man approached in the manner of the man leaning against the wall, it seemed that their purpose was the same. I felt nervous when a blow suddenly grabbed him in his stomach, almost knocking him to his knees in pain.

In a panic, I immediately approached the hotel guard and told him what I had seen. I pointed to the part where the man was still being beaten, the guard immediately whistled and grabbed the men's attention. "Hey! What are you doing there!" He shouted. They looked like confused ants and ran fast. Only the man lying and bleeding was left, the guard quickly ran to stab the man.

I couldn't stand it anymore and followed their position, I was afraid to stare at the man-Wait! Isn't he the man on the balcony? The guard turned to me as he continued to beat the man but he was unconscious. "Do you know him ma'am?" He asked.

"Actually no, but he's our neighbor in the condo we're staying in." I explained, he turned back to the man's body.

"It needs to be taken to the hospital ma'am" he asked, I agree with this. It also got quite a lot of blows, I looked at the whole of him, he was wearing office clothes. The pungent smell of wine is also very fragrant. "Just get us a taxi man, I'll take care of taking him to the hospital. After all, I'm off." I promise. He nodded and hurried away.

A few seconds later, manong returned with the taxi. We worked together to lift the man's bulk to ride inside, still unconscious.

Later we left to go to the hospital. I looked at his behavior, he was still unconscious as he leaned back in the taxi seat. We were both in the back because he was unconscious, maybe, the blood was still on his face.

Hesitant to take a tissue from my bag, I stared at him for a few seconds and approached. Slowly if the tissue was applied to his face to wipe away the blood, I was careful to touch it because it might make me conscious. Gradually I stopped when his lips suddenly moved.

"I'm glad you came," He said weakly, but his eyes were still closed, his timbre obvious in his speech. "I'm glad you're here. I was so lonely, but not anymore because you're already here," He added. I automatically returned my hand to my leg. I simply stared at his face, it looked like he had lost consciousness again probably due to alcohol and strong exposure to him.
