My Poor Billionaire

1.0 Mother

Sharry's POV

She looked at the man who passed by without glancing at her. But she just cant let him go without pestering his day. She smiled and stood up to block his way.

"Hi, Nico baby! How is your day? Did you eat your breakfast?" She enthusiasticatually said to him. He just looked at her with his eyebrows narrowing at her. His lips in thin line. He ignored her and continue walking.

"Hey, wait. I will walk you to your office, baby." She said jokingly at him. His eyebrows creased in annoyance.

"Look, Sharry. I don't want anything to do with you. Stop pestering my day. It is just starting. Cant you at least have some decency if not respect?" He said straight to my face. I met his cold eyes but I still manage to smile at him.

"Okay, not today. Bye Nico!"

I was about to turn my back on him when something naughty crossed my mind. I kissed his right cheek before walking fast before I could hear and see his reactions. I smirked when I reached my cubicle. Some of our co-workers cheered for me. I waved at them with a smug look on my face.

I sighed when I remember what he said. Yes, I like him very much. To the extent of following what he likes. I took architecture because he is an architect though I struggled at first but my determination and him, being my inspiration helped me endured the struggles until I came to love the field. I applied to the company where he is working just to get a glance of him everyday with the hope that he would notice her though it seems impossible. I am very vocal with his feelings towards him, as he is to me. The feeling isn't mutual, alright. But it will be in the future.

Nicolo Gray Fernandez is the most handsome man for her. With his thick eyebrows and lashes matching his dark brown eyes, she could get lost with his stare. His thin lips, his perfect nose and and jawline. His jet-black hair and masculinity. His height and his aura that could draw the attention of many, she is just whipped.

She was working ignoring the pang in her chest when she saw him smiled at Beatrice while she is handling him an envelope. He never looked at her that way or even smiled at her for the sake of plasticity. But she is determined to make him hers, some day soon shes gonna find a way.

His eyes traveled then it met hers. She waved at him and send him a flying kiss. She chuckled when she saw him grimaced at what she did. She literally is pestering him big time.

Sharry took her tray with her lunch on it when it was break time and looked for a seat. She instantly noticed Nico sitting alone in the corner. She walked towards his table and sat in front of him without his permission. She didn't say anything to him and started eating her lunch. She didn't glance at him even once afraid that he might say something. She was waiting for his reaction though but she didn't hear anything from him. When she couldn't take the silence between them, she looked at him and was taken aback when she saw him looking at her intently. When their eyes met, she again for th nth time saw his disgusted look.

"What did you do that for?"

"Do what?" I said smirking at him.

"Quit acting dumb. You know what I mean." He said without humor.

"But your name isn't written on the chair and even on this table. Should I still need to ask permission from you?" She said looking at him playfully.

"I was talking about that disgusting kiss you gave me earlier. Why do you have to make a scene like that? Dont you have delicadeza? Are you really a flirt?" His voice was calm and yet it sounded dangerous.

I was hurt. But me being me, I didn't give it a thought. I shrugged the pain away and looked at him straight in his eyes.

"I am in love with you, if you havent notice that then I might as well remind you." I said smiling at him though I was feeling so hurt.

"You know that I would never be in love with you. I don't even like you, for goodness sake. Stop hitting on me like you are a whore." He said it casually at me. I looked at him and smiled even more. The pain increasing.

"You cant tell me what to feel. My feelings are mine alone." I looked at him again and saw his amused grin. My heart beats erratically. It was the first time that his grin was directed towards me. But then I frowned.

Whats so amusing though?

He stood up and left me alone pondering.

I turned my back to look at him but he was no longer in the cafeteria. I found some of my coworkers looking at me like I was crazy. Who on their right mind would still chase a man who has no interest on you in the first place? It is only me. But not until I bleed, I wont give up my feelings that easily.

It was almost five and my work was done. I gathered my things when prepared myself to leave. I was thinking of going to the grocery again. I was thinking of what I should cook when I saw him walking fast, almost running out from his office. He was talking with someone over the phone and he looked so worried that I began to wonder whhat might be wrong.

Then it hit me, his mother. Worries crept on me but I know that I dont have to dwell on his problems. It is beyond me anymore. But remembering his kind and beautiful mother made me worried sick also. I gathered my things once again. I will visit his mom, hoping that my thoughts are wrong because I am also worried about her. Seeing his reaction, I know it was about his mother.

Our mother, I thought sheepishly.
