My Billionaire Boss Is Jealous Of My Boyfriend - Chapter 19
But before that, she apologized to her sister for her bad behaviour and changed the topic. She was talking about a guy of her school, “So do you like him?” Casey Ho’s eyes widened along with her chuckles.
“No ways! He just joined the school today. I told you he is a transfer student, Kelly. He returned from Singapore few weeks back and his mother admitted him in the school today and instantly did he join.” Casey Ho reasoned.
The two sisters were talking about the new transfer student, a boy, who joined her class from today. He was a Singapore return. Not to forget to mention he was handsome and all the girls in the class already started trying to be friends with him.
“Oh no, baby sist, why are you like that? I am sure there has to be something in him that all the girls are liking him! Try to be friends with him, who knows if you guys become good friends. He is in fact a transfer student, so he would need some company.” Kelly tried to explain her things.
However, she did not know that the guy was way too arrogant. The girls of her class did approach him in order to make him comfortable during the recess time, but that guy, he acted rudely and shoved them away.
” Oh my dear sister Kelly, did not I tell you that he was rude with the girls of my class? And definitely the girls will chase him as He comes from a wealthy family, Ethan Wang. He is some diamond merchant’s offspring.” the sisters laughed over the choice of her words.
Casey Ho was a studying in one of the famous and biggest schools of the New York City, RoseWood High. She made it till there on her own. She was studying on scholarship. She is the topper of the class and that was the reason why other students (wealthy ones) could not bully her or insult.
Only the children from wealthy families studied there. There were though others like Casey Ho, from social class group too. But she was different.
“What should I say instead, indeed he is. He came in normal clothes and they looked awfully expensive. And the way he was staring everyone and throwing his attitude, I just could not take it. He was acting way too hard like he were some prince.” Casey gasped as sarcasm drip from every word that she spoke.
She thought about the guy again and again. He was handsome, no doubts but his behaviour was too much to tolerate. However, that tinge of sadness on his face, Casey can’t ignore it. He seemed disturbed. She wanted to share about that to her sister, but she kept silent. She was sure that she does not want to interfere in anyone’s life but Kelly’s.
“I don’t think I’d like him at all. Not after that I saw him behaving sick with his mother.” Kelly saw her face. “Yeah she had come to drop him on the first day of school. We saw him jerking her hand away when she tried to ċȧrėss his cheek in the school campus. That guy, he uttered something to her and came walking inside the school building.” Casey added recalling that moment again.
Kelly Ho stared at the clock. It was past twelve and they were still talking. Casey had to go to school and Kelly was supposed to go for another places for interview. Both the sisters watched the clock and smiled to each other in understanding. “It is late, I should go. Hope you have a good night. Bye” Casey wished as she got up from the mattress from the floor.
She collected her books that she had bought to Kelly Ho’s room and walked out of the room while Kelly Ho moved to bed in order to call it a good night.
Next morning,
Li Mansion.
“What the fuċk is this? Don’t you know I hate oranges! Then how dare you get me orange juice.” Emmett hit the glass of the juice and it fell down.
The queue of nine servants standing before their boss grasped lowering their heads. Their boss has been acting weird and angry ever since he got up in the morning.
When the cleaning staff entered him room to dust and vaccine clean his room, they found that the room was transformed into a mess. All the things were lying broken on the floor while he laid on the couch looking sleep deprived soul.
Emmett Li’s eyes seemed red and the tear marks on his face conveyed his turmoil. He was disturbed about something. Probably, it was his mother, the cause behind his restlessness?
Their Boss acted weird and aggressive only when he heard or saw something relating to his mother. That mother who abandoned him while he were just an eight year old kid.
“Just take this food away too. Make me something spicy.” The servants who were cleaning the floor and collecting the broken pieces of the glass and plates that had fallen down and broke, Emmett ordered them to take the door away too.
Sometimes he would grow too fuċkɨnġ disturbed that he would ask for things those were not his cup of tea. For example, the spicy food. Emmett Li was allergic to spicy food yet he asked for it because he needed to feel some intense pain.
He sat motionlessly on his seat. Emmett Li was dressed in formal, showing that he was ready to leave for the office but the expressions, the vulnerability of his face conveyed otherwise.
“How long will it take?” Not even a minute passed that the servants took away the breakfast made previously for him that, Emmett Li shouted for his new food.
He was looking in the left side where the kitchen was located and glared at the rushing servants who were preparing his food again. Emmett gritted his teeth as he collected his phone and got up, “I will have to go empty stomach today, all thanks to the useless staff. I don’t know why am I paying you all for? For keeping me unsatisfied as a boss, huh.” he bawled angrily.
Not even had he initiated walking away from the dining table that his hand experienced a tug. Emmett immediately stopped at the touch. “What is wrong with you my boy?” It was butler Shing.
His weak hold on Emmett Li’s wrist consoled him. He calmed down and composed himself. “Come on sit here.” Emmett Li did as butler Shing told. He silently sat on the seat without disobeying him.
Nevertheless, the expressions of susceptibleness never left his face. He stared at the empty table while butler Shing took the seat next to the head of the family’s chair and stroked Emmett Li’s hair. “What is it bothering you, my kid? You were so happy last night. What made you so angry all of a sudden!” Butler Shing asked, his soft eyes read the features of his face as he waited for his answer.
Emmett immediately placed his head on butler Shing’s ŀȧp as busted into tears. All the servant peeped out of the kitchen at their boss who suddenly broke down. They stared each other worriedly as it was a rare scene to see their boss cry. They were scared and worried.
Here, butler Shing’s trembling fingers continued to stroke his head while Emmett Li spoke, “She returned back, Pappy. That woman who left me here, years ago has returned.” Emmett cried, butler Shing on the contrary, shockingly stared at Emmett Li’s head saying nothing.
Emmett Li was talking about his mother. That mother who left him years ago, but now, has she returned suddenly. And what other shocks did she bring with her was a matter of concern.
Never mind, Butler Shing’s fingers stopped ċȧrėssing his hair, he called that day when Emmett Li’s mother met him last time in the garden outside of this house. She was rushing badly as if she were getting late for something. And when she saw butler Shing, she just smiled at him and uttered, “Take care of Emmett.” And she was gone in the car and never came back after that day.
But the news of her flee was everywhere in the news as she was the wife of New York’s biggest businessman, Mr. Li, Emmett’s father. And that was when butler Shing realized why had she asked him to take care of Emmett! Because, she was running away with a lover!
“Marcus called last night before I was to go to bed. And he told me that she returned few weeks back— with a son. Pappy, she has a son. His pictures are there in my phone.” Butler Shing picked up Emmett’s phone that was on the table.
Marcus was Emmett’s spy, he was a hacker who worked exclusively for Emmett Li.
Any which ways, butler Shing was unlocking his phone when Emmett Li uttered again, “She admitted him in RoseWood High, which means she’d be staying here.” Emmett uttered.
He wanted to express his jealousy, his anger and his frustration that his mother left him when he were a kid but to her second son, she was taking his care like her only son. “Was the pain that she gave me all these years not enough that she had to return with my step brother?” he continuously ranted.
Butler Shing opened his WhatsApp and checked the very first name in his contact list that was, Marcus’. He clicked and his name and a folder of certain pictures caught his view. Butler Shing saw all the pictures closely until he found three messages written below the pictures by Marcus, the other night.
‘He is your step brother, Ethan Wang.
He is admitted to Rosewood high school today only.
I am sorry to say, but he looks a bit like you!’
