Caught by a Billionaire's Fire

Invading the Billionaire's Mind

Wilder’s POV

“Sir, these are the printed documents that you need for the meeting tomorrow.”

“Just put it in my desk, I’ll read it later. You may leave.” I did not bother to look at my employee as I told her to leave my office. I continuously type an important document in my laptop, but I can’t entirely focus in it for my mind keeps thinking about the guy that I met a while ago, gosh, that was the first time that someone have ever answered me back and scolded me like that, he must really got some nerves. But I can’t deny the fact that it is really funny to experience being scolded in front of people while standing at the busy street of Manila, it is not easy to made me laugh but the expression and the gaze that he holds made me do it. The fact is I must be annoyed because he embarrassed me in front of people, some may find it really humiliating but I can’t understand why I think of it as a fun experience.

He looks like a guy in his 20’s who seems lost and is confused of which direction to go. Maybe, he is new here in Manila, he looks like a country man anyway, he was wearing a weary pants and a simple shirt, but it is undeniable that he possesses a handsome appearance.

I suddenly shook my head as I realized that I am thinking too much about that guy, I must finish my work and get him out of my head, I should not let him distract me, but it is frustrating because I can’t stop myself from smiling every time I remembered what happened.

I must have been working really late because my shoulders are starting to ache now, I checked the time and found out that it is already 11 pm, gosh, I did not notice how late it is. I stretched my hands and relaxed my shoulders. I let out a loud sigh and start on cleaning my desk and finally go home. But as soon as I grab my coat, the appearance of the country man a while ago enters my mind again, argh, when will he stop invading my mind? I shrugged it away and went out of the office, my office is in the 15th floor of my building, yes it is my building, not to boast but this is my company and I invested years building it to call it mine. As I went out, I notice that all my employees in this floor already got home, except one, as expected, Lori, a very industrious employee of mine is still working in this late hour, it must be really hard to be a breadwinner of a family, but what do I know, I do not even have a family. I made my way to the elevator without even asking her if she already wants to go home, well, it is her life, she can choose to overwork herself if she wants to, I am paying her fairly so it’s not necessary to talk to her. She will go home once she wants to, it’s her decision.

When the elevator reaches the floor for the underground parking lot, I searched for my car keys in my pocket and walk towards my personal parking space, my left hand is half way upon opening the car door, but I found myself smiling again due to the guy that I met earlier. Argh, I should stop myself from thinking about it. I annoyingly scratch my forehead and finally started the engine of my car to drive home.

My house is 20 minutes away from my company, and I am really exhausted when I finally arrived. But as soon as I enter the house, I can’t able to feel anything but longing, I am longing for something that I cannot even explain what. It have always been like this, it seems like I am just going home to feel the torment of being alone, no matter how far I reached in life, there is still something inside me that keeps on making me suffer.

I went to my bedroom and get dressed, I do not feel the need to eat for I am not hungry, so I rest my back in the soft foam of my bed and wrestle myself to sleep, but who am I kidding? I am fully aware that I can’t able to sleep without the help of a sleeping pill, so I got up, and indulge myself to sleep as soon as I took one.
