Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

"Smile" she whispered. She's acting like a mom and I am her four-year-old daughter being forced to make friends.

"Nice meeting you" I smiled at him and he returned the gesture.

"Let's eat" Ali grabs her food and started munching.

"Are you students?" Kaiden suddenly asked and I just nod because my mouth is so full. I love talking when my mouth is full but not this time. He intimidates me enough today and I don't wanna look gross.

"Yeah, Sophomores" Ali looks so interested in talking to him so I let her entertain him as I sit here silently eating and enjoying my food. I am listening to their convo like I always do when I'm with a group of people. I love listening and I'm not that fond in sharing things to others not unless they are like very close to me.

"Actually, I heard a lot about you. You're quite famous in the campus." We just found that he is also studying in the same university we're attending. I know very well that Ali really knows him like she already stalked his accounts or search him on the internet and she's just feigning innocent. Because if he is really famous then Ali would never miss a change to know about him.

Nosy Alison.

"Yeah, a lot of students are always talking about me and I hate it. By the way in what department do you guys belong?"

"BS Accountancy" Ali seems to be enjoying her time with him. She's not even giving me just a little of her attention. Hmmp this girl when she's with a handsome guy she seems to forget about everything.

"Wow I assume your geniuses." My phone vibrates and I stand up to and walk near the comfort room to answer the call. I didn't excuse myself because they're too busy chatting and I think they won't even notice that I'm gone.

Deus is calling. I poked my forehead. I forgot to tell him that I'm not in the school anymore. He might be there to get me.

"Hi" I softly greet him. I ready myself for his shout and curses but it never happens.

"I'm already in the parking lot. What's taking you so long?" ohh it sounds like he is in a good mood today. Heaven you're about to ruin it.

"I..m..I'm not in the university. Sorry I forgot to inform you." I heard him sigh in the other line maybe trying to keep his cool,

"Where are you then?" what? he's not angry? that’s new. If I'm one of his employees I’m hundred percent sure I'm fired.

"Mcdonalds, I'm with Ali."

"I'll be there in five minutes" I think he is back to driving now.

"No need, you can go back to the office and I'll just ask Ali to drop me there." I look at Ali and she's laughing now. She's having a very good day.

"No, I'll go get you now." This stubborn man.

"Just let Ali drop me off. I promise we will not take so long besides we're almost done eating. I'll be in your office in no time." he sighed again. I want him to learn how to listen.

"Be quick, okay?" is this really Deus that I'm talking to? Why is he so calm and sweet? I need to recall the food we eat this morning. It might be the reason why he is so nice today.

"Yeah bye" I was about to hang up when he whispered on the other line the words, I never ever imagined I will ever hear from him.

"Take care babe. I miss you"

When the call ended, I was just literally looking at my phone not believing what I just heard from him. Am I really talking to Deus Niccolli Cavelli?

Did I hear him right???

Maybe I am mishearing things...

I slapped my cheeks and it hurts.

"I'm awake meaning I'm not dreaming" I crazily talk to myself. Hmm he misses me huh. I can't stop myself from smiling. The butterflies are flying in my stomach. I return to my seat with the widest smile plastered on my face. I finished my lunch fast because I am a little bit excited to go to Deus Office.

Ali and Kaiden are still talking about random stuffs. Shoes, Cars and events I can't relate. I want to prod Ali on her arms to at least notice me but that's rude. I don't wanna ruin her moment. She's really enjoying.

I decided to wait for minutes and that minutes became an hour. Wow, they are having an hour-long conversation and it seems like they are enjoying each other's company. Yeah, I'm bored.

I am a feeling a little embarrassed because the crews are already looking at us. Maybe they are wondering what's taking us so long to go and leave the establishment.

My phone vibrated so I take a look at it,

Mr. Unpredictable:

Where are you?

Deus already texted me this for 9th time now.

I keep on replying "I'm on my way" and I know this time he's not gonna believe it anymore.

I have no choice but to prod Ali on her elbow. She quickly glances at me.

"Sorry to interrupt but I need to go now" I said with a little shyness.

"Ok. I'm sorry I forgot about dropping you off." she apologized and stand up.
