Cold Billionaire

Chapter 2

At the end of another day, Aria, who had spent the whole day doing nothing, dragged herself to the mini-coffee shop down the street.

Inside a mini coffee shop, the interior's simple wooden design looks exclusive and classy.

Two girls were seen in the middle of a heated chat. The blonde girl in a white shirt and black pants with an apron tied around her neck hurriedly gathered the tea cups and started mopping the floor, while listening to her friend's story, who was sitting on the tall wooden stool.

She paused, looked up from what she was doing, and pushed out her lips slightly. "You meant you ended up not getting the job but also lost your heart," the blonde lady shrieked angrily.

"Damn girl, you really nuts," she scoffed angrily and continued mopping.

"You know he is just so handsome and charming with a good heart too. I'm seriously losing my mind here," she replied, and was lost in a trance. Reminiscing on the moment when the young man on the road handed her the file and his intense gaze inside that rain sparked the light of love into her heart

She continued to smile while recalling the beautiful moment, with her heartbeat thumping hard. "Aria, so what are you going to do now?" Her friend asked sternly, "You know, where are you going to get the money for the bills at home and school?"

Janet looked up and noticed she wasn't even listening.

"Aria! Aria!! Earth, Aria. Where are your minds at?" She screamed angrily and made the brunette girl jump in her seat.

"Oh, you were saying?" Aria asked, staring at her blankly.

"You know when you're done messing up your head with love, the harsh state of brokenness will snap you, dear girl, back to reality," she said dryly, and she rolled her eyes at her.

"Yeah, I know, but I am losing my mind," the brunette lamented, waving her hand in the air helplessly.

"Yeah, you're losing it, and not only that, but also your brain," she sneered loudly with a grimace.

"My humble advice is to get your naive mind out of the gutters of love and focus on money."

"Things that will benefit your existence." Janet melted out sternly. "Wow! Do you hate love this much and still get yourself into a relationship? Aria stared at her friend in disbelief.

"Umm... I don't hate love or care about it. I just rate money. No relationship on Earth is worth it. Any man who is rich is handsome and charming to me, even if he is a hundred-year-old nappy granny." She smirked evilly before putting the mop away. She grabbed the chairs and started arranging them, putting them one by one on the table.

Aria watched her silence; it sounded like a gold digger, huh! Is that what you are thinking? The blonde girl turned and winked at her

"Don't give a damn girl; we ain't digging their motherfucker's parents' grave."

"It's cool, girl," she laughed dryly. "You do sound salty, and do you mean that you don't love Tammy?" Aria inquired with a serious gaze. "Yeah, I don't love him, I'm just passing time with him. Once that old billionaire granny shows up, I'm going to dump his broken ass for good," she replied flatly. "I just pity him. He fell in love with a heartless psycho like you."

"Yeah! Yeah!!,who cares"

"Tammy is supposed to be cheating on me with a prettier, sexier girl, and once my time comes I am going to cheat on him with money. Pretty fair, huh?" She said, rolling her eyes lazily.

"Heartless bad b***h, , you just got a trust issue." Aria scoffed, "Hahaha!!!! You don't have to be dumb and naive when it comes to love. Janet laughed mockingly. "Whatever, you just poured cold water on my heart," she pouted. "Hahaha, pretty bad, huh!"

"Who is this lucky guy that struck you with a Cupid arrow?" Janet teased with a lazy smirk, "Umm. Does he have some cool cash?"

"All you know is money," Aria scoffed loudly. "Money is life, girl!" Janet winked at her. "So you said he got down from a car. What is the car like, girl?" She asked with full curiosity.

"Ummm... white Mercedes-Benz, I guess."

"What damn you lucky girl. Did you get his number?" She asked with so much excitement in her tone.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You should have looked for a way to get one," she replied sadly with disappointment on her face.

"Who knows you might have your chances with this lucky handsome man?"

"I thought you didn't like me talking about him," she said in astonishment. "Now I like you doing not only the talking but getting cool cash from him, especially the endless gold fortune cards from movies," she grinned ear to ear. "Nonsense, ugh! Your mentality about money stinks,'' Aria glared at her.

"You can blame me for that, it's a cruel society and standard," she said as a matter of fact and struggled. There was a long silence, before Janet broke down again,"Since your broken ass decided to lose two golden chances in a row, what are you going to do now, huh?" What are you going to do now, broken ass?"

She asked with a stern look, "I really don't know," Aria replied, looking clueless. "Poor thing, anyway, I got some tips from one of our customers yesterday." She started saying,

"About what?" Aria jumped in anxiously.

"That Era International Hotel is recruiting waitresses, if you don't mind", she said, quietly.

"What! Really?" Aria exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yeah, girl!" The blonde nodded. "Era international hotel, the top lead, the highest ranked Five stars. What!!! I don't mind. Who am I to mind?" Thank you, girlfriend. She couldn't contain her joy. "It's nothing, homie, let go grab the positions on Monday." Janet smiled warmly. "Yeah, you're quitting your job here?" Aria asked with her dark brows slightly raised. "I told my boss about my busy schedule of making money. He nicely told me he could fix me here on my free day, so I'm not completely quitting." Janet explained in detail.

"He is such a nice boss. Aria marveled with an impressive smile. "Such he is; I'm going to miss his old ass too," she replied dryly.

Aria pouted and placed her head on the marble waiter station, staring into the air. "You're thinking about him again?" Janet shot her a quick glance." Yeah, he is missing my mind again, and I can't get his powerful gaze out of my mind, even at night."

Aria cried miserably. Janet sighed and walked up to her. "This is so bad and annoying, who the hell hypnotizes you? I am going to get some sense into you," she pulled her shoulder roughly." Get off me, you old witch." She yelled out loudly and pulled her hair. Aha! Let go. "The two continue to play roughly like kids.

**************************************

Psychology states that if you constantly think about someone, there is a high probability that that person thinks about you too.

Such is the case of Aria Hills and the heir of Eragon Multidollar Corporation. Right inside a typical classy podiatrist's office, the interior alone boasts of rich patients who could only afford to be attended to here.

The petite middle-aged woman in her early sixties with big, huge round glasses watched her new client in silence while trying to study him carefully. It's been half an hour now, yet he refuses to say anything. His dark and cold auras are not comforting either.

The woman swallowed hard. "Why am I on duty today when this mysterious man with a serial killer vibe decided to show up?" She tried to smile warmly at him and at least create a friendly environment that would enable him to say what was bothering him.

Instead, she got a deadly glare from him, which wiped the silly hard smile from her face." Oh good Lord, save me today; I don't know what in the world this psycho is doing here." He continued to tap anxiously while staring at the wall behind her.

"Is it possible? There is some strange invisible painting on the wall. I am not seeing." She turned slightly and glanced at the blank white wall. "She has turned my mind into turmoil. Who the hell is she? "He busted out angrily." Oh! My good Lord!" The woman held her chest in shock. She was still looking at the walls, when she heard him angrily bark.

"Who is he angry at?" "She held her chest in pain." I knew it the moment he stepped into my office. Those fiery eyes with dangerous glows and tight knuckles like he's about to hit someone: "Oh, good Lord, save me!"

After some minutes, the woman tried to recompose herself. Umm... Sir Eragon Ian, How are you today? "She started professionally." Do I look fine too? "He cut her off rudely." Umm..that is okay," she tried hard to suck in her frustration. I mean, he is the type that would frustrate their doctors to tears. So it's okay.

"It is better if he doesn't stab me or drill a bullet into me. So let's stay calm till he leaves,'' she sent a strong message to herself, before adjusting herself slightly on her seat. "It's her; she is always messing with my head."

"It's like she's got my brains. The most annoying part is she had the nerve to disturb my mind through the night and even had the guts to float in my head at work during a crucial business meeting!" He explained furiously, his tone melting out the intensity of his wrath.

"Wtf, Oh good Lord, what's wrong with this man? I thought it was something even worse." The woman stared at him in surprise. He is mature, good-looking, and rich, according to the list of clients that come here for therapy. It is not a baby millionaire that comes here as a patient.

So what the hell is wrong with him? He sure will get his share of women running after me. How the hell is it bad if he fell in love with them?" She tried hard, for a second, to control her anger. She smiled and was about to recompose herself again when she saw him glaring lasers at her. "Is this some effect of the insomnia drug you gave me?" He eyed her suspiciously.

''No!'' She screamed out, just as angry as him, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "I mean no; it hasn't any effect," she said calmly. "So what's going on with me, what with the illusion of her being seen everywhere?" "Why was I unable to cut off her hands and rip them apart when she touched me?" He inquired with a dark gaze.

"Why is he so tense and angry about love? He is so in love.

"Aham!, Aham!!" She coughed awkwardly as she thought hard about how she was going to start the weird discussion.

"You don't have any problem, Sir. You see it, love; you are in love with the... She was cut off by his strangled voice.'' Love!" His expression turned sour like that of a killer; immediately, she trembled from his angry shriek.

"Umm... calm down, Sir, being in love is the most beautiful thing every man on Earth must experience at a time of their life," she said calmly. He stood abruptly, glaring diggers at her. The petite woman shivered under his cold gaze. "Take that nonsense back!" He fired fiercely, which made the woman turn pale in shock. "I thought I would get a solution here, but it is not any better."

He tightened his knuckles hard, as your knuckles c***k. He turned and walked out angrily, slamming the door loudly behind him.

Oh good Lord, it's finally over. I pray he doesn't return here ever again." She sighed softly. "What a lunatic!

"***********************************

He slammed his feet on the gaslight and drove home crazily. His crazy thoughts were not helping either; that woman's words just made everything worse. He swallowed a deep breath and slowed down when he caught sight of the red light at a sharp bend of the road, just before the crosswalk.

He turned to his side window screen to distract himself a little from his thoughts, but that was when he let loose. He caught sight of two people sucking out the air and out of their lives as they kissed passionately at the roadside. Seriously Love. You want me to become people like this and act foolishly around this," the raging thought raced through his mind.

"Damn you!"He cursed angrily and loudly. His noise made the two teenagers at the roadside jump in fright. They were scared as they saw him glaring daggers at them.

"Who is that guy? Is he your dad?" "The teenage boy asked in fright." No, I don't know who he is," the girl said quietly and watched him drive away.
