The Bride Of The Billionaire

Chapter 27: Busybody

"Hija!" a shout I heard as I walk out from the car. My heart almost jump out as I see Raze's mom at the entrance of the mansion, she's walking now towards us.

"Hi hija, how's the trip?" she ask and held both of my shoulders, I just look around. Where's Mr. Rance?

"He's not here, I know who's who you're searching!" she whisper like she read my mind and gently trace my skin down to my hand.

"Hi mom!" Raze kissed his mom.

"Yiee, son! I love you!" she's acting like a kid and her smile looks so cute and adorable.

"Mom, you sounds like you need something!" he seriously said.

"Luh! I just want to have a quality time with the two of you!" he exclaimed happily.

I just smile for recovery and get inside with a warm hold of Mrs. Rousey.

"Ma'am who's with you?" I ask

"I said that it's already mom for you. Well, I'm alone since I got bored hanging out with my friends and just playing mahjong all day." she replied with her funny gestures.

"But that's good for memory, well, according to the study." I responded and look at Raze, he's just silently taking steps with his common expression... stern and a bit confusing.

"What are your plans for today Cath?" she asked seriously this time.

"Obviously to entertain you MOM, WHOOOO~ it's hard to utter that word ma'am. Anyway, that's it. You call us to go home and I didn't feel tired yet so resting isn't the best option." I exclaimed and fanned myself but I don't know why she burst into laughter.

I just awkwardly smile and rub my nape.

"You're so adorable, I bet you don't know that?" she commented

"Eh? I already know that. Your son always remind me that I'm a puppy. Ruff!" I said and playfully bark... and yes! we're laughing this time and with the special participation of Mr. ungentleman, Raze the great.

"Son! you're still not expressive? You didn't say that she's beautiful?"

"My bad mom but my stare is already telling her that she's the most beautiful... puppy in the world! Right love?" he said and smirk.

"See! He's so mean to me. hmmft!" I complain and pout.

"He's just lying Hija, don't worry!"

"I'm not lying mom! She looks like Vyan!"

"See! He see me as a dog! huhu!" I act like crying, obviously, he is starting a game.

"You're ugly!" he said. Badass.

"Ruff! Ruff!" I bark like a real cute dog.

"Lorence, SIT!"

"BAKA!"

"I'm not stupid chump!"

"Because you're very ungentleman and mean!" I yelled

"Both of you, are you arguing?" his mom ask worriedly and looks like really innocent. Kawaiiiii~

"He's so mean to me / She's a dog!" we said in unison. I'm not a dog. huhu!

"Guys, chill!" she weaned like we're going to kill each other.

"Mom, were going to change first!" Raze excuse and pull me without waiting his mom's response.

Sebastian currently carrying our stuffs while Raze and I go straight at his room.

"Hey! are we hiding or something?" I ask.

"Nope! We're going to escape!" he whisper

"WHAT? are you crazy?"

"Shhhh!"

"This day might be boring!" he whisper again.

"You're crazy, I'm excited to hangout with your mom. Duh!" I giggled as I imagine that we're going to have fun with his mom.

After that nonsense talk I check my room and get the souvenirs out for the girls and have a quick talk with them since ma'am Rousey was waiting.

A simple thing you give from your heart can make someone happy, indeed. At least I never forget them the moment I choose those.

I change and go at her. Hmmm!

"Should I pick first?" I ask.

We have a game called 'Bake what you pick' there's already a folded papers inside a round crystal, the words their was unknown to us since mother Sharn wrote those. Well, I hope I can get an easy task.

"Sure hija! Yiee, I'm excited!" she exclaimed and out her hands together while Raze looks sad because he don't like the apron he is wearing and the potholder which is color pink with a bunny design. He's cute though.

I pick a paper and I'm about to open it when... "Opss! let's open it later together!" ma'am Rousey said so I did then it's her turn to pick then Raze choose last.

"ONE! TWO! THREE! GO!" she loves yelling.

After the counting, we together open the folded paper and I'm so happy to the task I got.

It's to cook a brownies, easy!

"What's yours?" I ask Raze.

"Very confidential, love!" he is smiling as he hid the small paper at his pocket. Unfair!

"You don't really love me!" I chided sadly and keep distance.

"How did you know?"

"See-"

"Just kidding! What's yours first?" he ask,witty and wise.

"Brownies!" argh! he already change the mood, he made me hyped up again.

"I see, mine is still a secret!"

"That's unfair!" I'm about to pinch him when...

"Ahem! You guys don't want to ask what's mine?" owh! She's here. We forgot at the moment.

"What you got mom?" SHOOT! did we really said it in unison?

Shit! My face turns hot, I'm literally blushing.

"You're cute!" they said in unison too and laugh together.

"Jiji!" I just laugh instead to react more.

"Okay! let's begin. The one who cook it perfectly can receive a reward." Ma'am/ mom Rousey announced.

It didn't sound weird? Calling her mom?

After that we start to pick our ingredients, I was busy mixing when Raze put something on my face and he laugh hard with his mom. Flour, I taste it.

I revenge so we run inside the kitchen, trying to catch and escape from each other while mom Rous-- Ops! His mom was laughing at our childish acts.

"I surrender!" I finally utter and accept being defeated by that ungentleman. He didn't give me a lot of points, he just let me touch his skin once and by accident so basically I only had one point.

"I guess that's a poop! You're baking a poop." I teased him, pointing his mixture.

Yet, instead of getting irritated he laugh while looking at my brownies.

"Your dough looks like one!" he fired back. I love seeing him laugh. Lovely.

"Whoaaa! You're being so harsh again!"

"You started it!"

"at least let me win over you!" I begged

"There's no way love!" then he chuckled

"Come on Cath! Don't mind him. Come here, let's have a talk" I look back at ma'am Rousey, she weaned us again.

I did step closer to her, bringing my dough. I'm done mixing it, I'm just flattening using rubber scraper and spatula.

"Almost done?" she ask.

"Yeah! I hope this will turns out good!"

"I'm sure it'll based on the texture!" she commented

"I bet, look at Raze. He's serious!" I whisper.

"I know how to distract him!"

"Really? What's it?"

"Of course, I'm his mom. Remember?"

"Jiji. yeah!"

"Alright, by cockroaches!"

"Eh! if I'll throw that at him he might kill me out of surprise!"

"Yeah, so better not! He was also scared at lightning and thunder"

"That sounds so gay and unbelievable!" I whisper back and laugh.

"Both of you are weird!" he commented as he see us looking at him while laughing.

I put some chocolate chips on the top and put it at the oven. I'm excited how it turns out.

Raze was still mixing and ma'am Rousey is about to finish her cake's dough.

I'm still guessing Raze task, what if I'll ask mother Sharn? Ahh! That's unfair.

Tik Tak! Tik Tak! Tik Tak! Tik Tak! Tik Tak! Tik Tak!

"Aha! You're making cupcakes!" I happily snort it out when I saw him tooking out a cupcakes cups.

"You bet?" he said and shrugged.

"Aha!"

___

"Oh? It's already cooked!" finally, after 38 minutes, it's done perfectly.

"Yey!" I excitedly utter and get my brownies out of the oven.

"Wow! That looks delicious and it really smells great hija"

"Let's try it!" I said and get another flat tray and transfer it there. Then I get the glassine I use and cut it in little four same size using pastry wheel.

One moment later.

"Wow! This is very delicious, not too sweet it's just right" ma'am Rousey commented.

"I love it, love. I'll give you 10 out of 100!" Raze commented after a try and laugh. He really need to laugh? That's a nice joke after all. Deceiving.

"That's a pretty unfair judgement Mr. ungentleman!" I snort out and have a bite of my precious brownies.

"I'm just kidding love. I love you!" he said and pinch my cheeks with the intention of me getting dirty by flour again.

I just pout.

"I hate your dirty games, I hate you!"

"Wait! you can wash it but first let me take a selfie with you!"

"NOOOO!"

"you can't refuse kiddo!" he said and hold my waist so tight that made me hurt out laughing.

"One! Two! Three! Nice. Another shot, mom join with us!"

"S-stop! I'm not prepared you're so unfair! You're so bad!" I complain.

In the end, I don't have a good photo with them. I was just laughing and trying to get his arms around me all the time but the photos was good tho, a pretty candid shots.

Raze was really good at making icing as well as his mother. Mother like son.

Around 3pm everyone had a snacks and about the contest, we all win.

We're currently chilling while eating our baked foods now with everyone plus the very special smoothie of Mr. Pryce Raze Coleman the super duper ultra mega great man in the whole wide world and while eating his mom requested me to call Mom through video call on messenger because she wants to have a chat with her and I did... even Raze talk to mom and dad.

Finally, our relationship seems legalized but about his dad? It's still questionable.

Ma'am Rousey had fun talking to Toby after her conversation with my parents. Sadly, Stacey was still at school so she can't join at the video call.

"I'll call you again later Toby, hope you guys can visit here! Bye!" Ma'am Rousey end the call, she's really pertaining to mom.

"Love we have to go now!" he is fixing his necktie, he received a message from Tyron that he have a meetingamd he'll send his mom home too.

"Sure, bye ma'am!"

"Love, she already told you, call her mom!"

"Yeah! bye hija. See you again."

"Alright! Raze, take care. I'm excited to have a quality time with you, mom!" I said and wave my hand a goodbye before they get inside the car.

"Mother Sharn, I'm going to rest now. I'm very tired."

"Sure Cath, thanks for the souvenir and I'm happy for the both of you."

"Uwo~ Thanks mother Sharn. I love you, bubye!" I'm very tired and sleepy, I already yawn for a couple of times.

"I love you too!" I heard her response before our distance went too far.

"Ahh! finally, I can rest my back!" I whisper and throw myself at the bed before the darkness prevailed.

*Kriinnggggggggggggg~

I stretched my body and slightly open my eyes. SHIT! It's already 7:00 am, gush! I overslept.

My eyes are wide open.

I rush pulling myself out of the bed and fixed it then I check my phone.

"Good morning!" I texted him and go at the bathroom.

I took a quick shower.

I pick a dress and choose one of the stilletos that Raze gave to me. Argh!

I went outside, I"m on my messy bun since I'm on a hurry.

"Razzzzzzeeeeeeeee!" I called, ahm! no! I actually yell. _I was him walking towards his car. He is really planning to leave without informing me. :(

"Raze!" I yell again before he finally look back. Aish!

I almost stambled just to catch up.

"What?" he coldly ask.

"Are you going to leave me?" his expression were blank and unreadable again. Why? Did he had a bad dreams or he just woke up at the wrong side of the bed?

"I'm going now! Sebastian will accompany you. I just have something important thing to do!" I'm dumbfounded.

"R-raze?" I can't believe what he just said. I really can't.

"I have to go, anyway, good morning!" he said before he get inside his car. Fudge! There's something off. What's happening? That moment stabs my heart. Damn!

I go back... inside.

"Cath! Eat first!" it's Erika.

"I'm not hungry!" I responded weakly.

"What? You didn't eat dinner and you're not allowed to skip breakfast." she sounds like mother Sharn.

"I don't really have the appetite" I reply and slowly walk back with my sad face.

"You look wasted." she commented behind me.

"Am I?" I answered absent-mindedly.

"Hmm, something happened between the two of you?" she worriedly ask.

"No! actually I don't know what's going on!"

"Just talk to him later maybe he is really busy right now!"

"Okay, thanks Erika. I have to go now. Bye!" I said then search Sebastian. After a moment, I arrived at Texno and Raze wasn't there, maybe at his other company.

I arrived at our teams office seeing a try at my table.

There's a slice of watermelon, pack of ready to drink coffee, two American roll and a slice of fried chicken with a tasty gravy.

"Eat well" that's what written on the note that sticked at the tray. I guess it's from Raze so I just ignore it.

"Good morning Cath!" it's Ranz.

"Good morning!" I greeted back with a smile.

"Where are the girls?" I ask

"They go at the powder room"

"ah, okay!"

"So, how's the trip?" he ask and switch his position, he's now facing me with his serious expression.

"We had fun an--"

"Owh! Hi Cath! We missed you!" the girls give me a warm group hug.

"Hi guys! I miss you guys too. Guess what, I Have something for all of you!" I said and get the box inside my bag.

"Here! This is a silver bracelet with our names on it!"

"Wow, thanks Cath" Cassy hug me like what other girls did after receiving it.

"Wow! Look at this. It really looks good on my wrist. Thanks beautiful!" Ranz exclaimed.

"No problem handsome!" I responded

"Thanks that you guys love it!" I added and take a sit.

I just do my job after that and then get hungry around 10am so I eat at LitDinner, ignoring the tray of food. I quite grouch at the boss.

Then, after my job I planned to go home and to my surprise, Sebastian was already waiting me at the lobby like I contacted him yet actually not maybe Raze did. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I wonder how's Raze. He didn't message me.

As usual, I help at the house chores as I arrived at the mansion then play with the huskies.

The dinner time already came yet Raze isn't home yet and I didn't get any reply from him.

Is he that very busy? Tsk, he can at least send me a single message with the content of it, that's I must not expect a message from him because he is damn very very very very busssssy! I'm mad now!

I waited him to go home but I felt sleepy around 9pm so I decided to sleep already. I had enough.

The next day I woke up early to check him at his room. He is not inside. Where did he go? He didn't go home?

"Cath! Raze left early!" mother Sharn answer my question in mind.

"What? Really? Hayss, what's wrong with that man?" I complain.

"He said he is busy" she added

"Ah! okay. I understand. I'm going to prepare now Mother Sharn." I said and get inside my room.

I open my Instagram account and check if he has a new post. He didn't have a new one yet he has a new IG story. I check it.

"Day 2 with Ms. Sanchez" that's his caption, the photo was a restaurant, probably a breakfast meeting and that story was already an hour ago. So early to flirt?

Who's Ms. Sanchez? Who's that girl? He is drivinge crazy so instead of loosing my cool I just grab a towel and get inside the bathroom.

If I get inside the comfort room it'll comfort me from this jealousy?

After preparing I went outside and still, Sebastian drive for me.

At the lobby I saw Tryon so I call him.

"Hi Lorence" he's holding a folder.

"Hi, I want to ask you something!"

"Sure,what's that?"

"Hmm, I may know Raze's schedule today?"

"Sure, today he make me cancel all his meetings for his special meeting with Ms. Alona Sanchez" he replied, he memorize his boss schedule. Nice!

"Really, I see. Thanks!"

"Why?"

"Nothing, I'll go now!"

"Sure, have a great day ahead." he said.

Great day ahead? Tsk! Raze ruined it already.

Who's Alona? I mean the business she had and what's so special about her so Raze had to cancel all his meetings for her, just to meet her? Aish! I'm rattled.

I was bothered whole doing my job, of course. My boyfriend is ignoring me and he even cancel all of his meetings for Alona. I'm gonna cry.

Aish! Alona! Alona! Alona! She's bothering me.

I'm checking the time, time to time and it seems that the time moves so slow. It's really annoying me, it's loosing the single string of my patience.

"Cath! The keyboard might broke!" Cassy stop my hands and smile weirdly. I just sigh!

I can't knock out Raze image on my mind and some crazy thoughts added to ruin my calmness.

"Owh, sorry! I'm going to LitDinner now, have some coffee!" I excuse and leave them without hearing a response.

___

"Ma'am you already had 4 cu--"

"Just give me another cup!" I commanded. Feeling like a boss.

I comfortably lean at the backrest when I received a phone call, it's Raze.

"What?" I scoffed

"I can see you here at the monitor. Please stop drinking coffee, you may end up palpitating!"

*Tooot toooot

I end the call.

Palpitating his ass. Only coffee can calm me know. Wait! Monitor? It means he is here? tsk! he didn't even try to check me? He is crazy!

"Here's your coffee ma'am, probably the last as ordered."

"Ordered?"

"Yes ma'am, Mr. Coleman called me and warned me that he'll fire me if I give you more!" he explained.

"I see. Anyway, thanks!" I said and have a sip on my coffee.

Is he checking me secretly? I understand it now.

What's the possible reason why he is doing this to me? Making me worry? Making me jealous? Hayss, he is really unpredictable.

As my working hours end I hurriedly arrange my things so I can leave already. Hmm? Do I have to check Raze first or I'll try to wait him at the lobby? Aish! Neither of the idea was good though plus I already saw Sebastian's arrival.

I have no choice. I'm sure that Raze contacted Seb to fetch me.

__

"Seb? Ahm, How did you know Raze?" I ask while looking outside the window.

"Hmm, I was at the hospital 12 years ago when I saw him. I was there to process my mom's hospital bills. I was crying when he approached me then he ask me what's wrong so I said everything."

"I see, he is really kind and soft-hearted man!" I commented.

"He is, imagine that he pay all the bills and tell me to meet him at the given address, it's his mansion's address. Then he hire me as his driver and he even finance me to get the professional drivers license. He don't fully know me but he is willing to help. He is like an angel in a dark creature body." I see, it's so good hearing such story and to reminisce some memories.

"He is different than other rich man, some used to judge yet he used to help! Willingly!" I said, suddenly I felt relieved and happy.

I know that Raze isn't the type of man that'll cheat and play someone's feelings. I'm sure of that.

"But you know what's funny?" he suddenly chuckle, remembering something, maybe.

"What?"

"It's when he said that I can call him any pet names but he don't want me to call him his name. No one dares to call him by name and he get mad if someone does. I found it weird yet as I stay at the mansion longer, I do understand eventually why!" he continued.

He is struggling since then, luckily, he's strong mentally and he's really a professional when it comes to handling emotions and in decision making.

I guess I only have to do is support Raze though the meaning of that is also the possibility of loosing him.

Aish! I shook my head! I'm being so advanced minded again.

I'm afraid of loosing him though.

We arrived home around 5:00pm because of the traffic, there's an accident at the crossroad.

I quickly change my clothes and help doing house chores then I play with the huskies and go at the mini Zoo using golf cart, I'm actually good at driving it right now.

After enjoying myself at the backyard I go back because mother Sharn also call me. Dinner is ready.

Sadly, Raze's seat was empty and he obviously not planning to go home. I miss him already.
