Deal with the billionaire's

"Man, you look wasted!" Lucas noticed that he just arrived... I didn't pay attention to it, I just continued to drink alcohol.

"He was here last night, he wanted to drown himself in alcohol." Jake said while wiping his glasses.

Jake is one of my friend, we are in a resto-bar today, we're working here as a part timer, because it's summer now and there's no school.

I'm in my fourth year of college next school year, so I'm saving a lot. And it looks like I will stop studying because of the problem we are facing now.

"That's why Anya called me last night and was looking for Wren." Lucas

My mind is still too occupied with what happened. I can't face Anya right now.... I don't want to hurt her.

"C'mon dude... alcohol won't solve your problem. I know it's hard to make a decision but you have to do it." Lucas

I told them what happened and he's right... I won't get anything if I get drunk here all day, nothing will happen.. that won't solve my problem.

"Then what should I do? Don Manuel is a powerful person... just one wrong move by me could put my family in danger, including Anya." I said dejectedly.

"Tried to talk to him in person, he's a business man... offer him something that a businessman can't refuse." suggested Jake

I'm here today at Ferrer Corporation. This is the first time I have set foot in this huge and luxurious company. I have scheduled an appointment with the chairman of this company, don Manuel Ferrer. I waited a few weeks before it was approved.

This building has 25 floors and according to the magazines I read, its area is equal to a soccer field. In the lobby you can already see how rich the Ferrers are. But I'm not here to be amazed and I don't care about their wealth.

"Mr. Wren Salvador?" a woman in her mid 30's approached me.

"Yes" I answered to his smile.

"I'm Victoria, Don Manuel's secretary." introducing it.

With his stance and speech, you would think he is one of the highest positions and looks like a model. I wouldn't be surprised... many people say that the employees here are paid too much. Even the cleaners here can afford to buy fancy cars with their wages. So many people want to work here but it's hard to get in.

"Follow me... Don Manuel is waiting for you." After saying this, he immediately walked away and I followed.

We boarded a private elevator that only the owner of this company could ride. He pressed the 18th floor button... I was just silent while waiting to get to the 18th floor. My hand is already sweating because of the nervousness I've been carrying. Who wouldn't be nervous? I have never even seen this person in my entire life.

~continuation~

"We're here."

My attention was aroused when Victoria spoke. It was the first to come out of the elevator that I followed. I wasn't able to look at the whole floor because it had already gone through a door.

I looked at the initials stuck to the door. MBF

Victoria knocked three times before opening the door. He went inside while I was left outside. It's like my feet are stuck to the floor and don't want to move.

Victoria turned to me and motioned to enter. I took a deep breath to reduce the tension I was feeling, I strengthened my heart and went inside.

The vast office opened up to me. The ding-ding is white, with a few paintings hanging from it. I looked at the man with his back.

"You may leave Victoria." after saying this, Victoria immediately left the office. It's just the two of us here and I can feel the coldness of the whole environment especially in the tone of his speech.

It faced me, no emotion on its face. "take a seat" he said but it sounded like a command to me. His aura is full of authority.

"Wren Arkiel Salvador, it's nice to finally meet you." he bent his hand in front of me which I immediately accepted to shake hands.

"It's an honor to meet you, sir."

"What brought you here?" he asked.

He knows why I'm here, so there's no reason for me to hang around.

"I came here for my father's mistake, and to make it right. I know he already signed the agreement you made but---- he is not in his right mind at that time... he made a decision without thinking about it ... and I think you take advantage of that situation, sir. And another thing is that our families don't know each other to reconcile your grandson with someone like me, sir." courage is said here.

It didn't speak, it just looked at me as if it was tickling me well.

"When your father came to me for my help he made a right decision." Mr. Manuel

"But my happiness was the substitute for his decision. To tell you honestly... i have a girlfriend, we've been together for more than two years, I love her so much... that's why I'm talking I'll do everything you want... just change the agreement you made with my dad. Your grandson's happiness also depends on it, what if I'm a bad person? We're both stranger's in each others eyes... . we already have our own thoughts and it's not right for you to control our lives, sir."

"Tell me Wren.... if you were in your father's situation what would you choose? Your own happiness or your family?" he asked looking directly at me.

I didn't answer, I just bowed down while looking at the clenched fist.

"I admire your courage and honesty. But agreement is an agreement, no one can change it and it costs a lot."

I looked up at this. "but.... sir--"

"I'm giving you one month to know my granddaughter and if nothing happens or changes within one month I will annul the agreement that your father signed and I'm going to help your family and you are free to choose whatever you like." I was encouraged.

"But I'm telling you feelings can be changed and happiness can be found." He said meaningfully.
