My Billionaire Boss Is Jealous Of My Boyfriend - Chapter 37

“What?” Casey Ho’s eyes narrowed, she made the faces as that of a cry baby and sniffed. She glared his face maniacally as he raised an eyebrow looking amazed.

Alas she had no words. Her mouth sealed after blurting that nonsensical question and double nonsensical answer she gave after that. All the eyes stared at her, pin drop silence prevailed in the room while Casey registered the girls, standing on the left in a group, fuming in anger.

“Did you hear that?” A whisper broke the silence.

The teacher any ways continued her work of collecting the fees for the camp after ignoring the silence in the class room, “Tina, you are next. Be ready with your form and fees.” Tina nodded not before giving a last deathly glare to the class president!

Ethan Wang, for all this while, chose to read her face. He was undoubtedly correct that this girl has a different persona. Just a day or two in this new city and he found someone who could be a good partner in crime as well as— a girlfriend!

He chuckled loudly, his eyes shining with excitement as he got up on his feet, “Nice joke, you won the bet, miss. President!” Here is the money for the bet that we had promised to pay the winner. He stretched out a few notes of hundred dollars and slapped it on her hand.

“What are you doing?” Being perplexed and confused Casey Ho eyed Ethan a bit more dangerously than the previous time.

Wasn’t he satisfied after putting her in such an embarrassing situation that now he wanted to embarrass her more?

She huffed angrily, she struggled to pull her hand that was gripped by him but he did not seem in the mood to let him go. And that was what bothering her.

Everyone in the class knew she was poor, not by wisdom but financially, and also the reality how much her family needed money. It was not hidden from anyone that Casey Ho studied in the school on scholarship while her mother and sister both work to make a living for their family of three. She did not even have a new uniform, just something she was donated by the ex student after her farewell.

However, nobody made fun about it, perhaps today they would. They would bully her, make fun of her just because this stupid spoilt brat son of a bitch handed her a bunch of dollars she had never seen in her life so far, at least not in the pit of her hand.

It was just bullshit!

Even if he wanted to help her get out of the mess she created for herself, can’t he just keep the amount lesser?

“What? Why are you being reluctant now miss. President? Hadn’t we both bet that if you shocked the entire class including the teacher then i would give you a thousand dollars, and if you failed you would give me the same… So you won, and here is your bet money.” He announced loudly, his voice sort of resonating in the class room.

Tina who was standing near the teacher’s desk turned around and curiously eyed Ethan and Casey, “It was a bet?” She inquired again.

“Oh yes, it was. And Casey Ho won.” Ethan wang replied.

“Oh, that way…” Tina scratched her nape. She quickly submitted the form and joined Ethan and Casey, “Really, Casey Ho, you guys bet it that way…” A forceful nod came from Ethan since the president was occupied with anger and frustration.

Eventually the others in the class heaved a sigh of relief, they resumed with their discussion and funny stories together along with the teacher continuing with her work except Casey Ho who was throwing deathly glares in the not-so-innocent Ethan Wang’s way.

Outside the Li’s enterprises…

“Thank you so much” Kelly Ho came out of the cab. She paid the driver and let him keep the change.

Today was the biggest day in her life. She got her dream job, that too in the Li Enterprises, one of the best and biggest companies in the city. Her eyes twinkled with unfathomable zeal as she came sprinting inside the gates.

Her feet bȧrėly touched the ground, it seemed! She was literally flying in her imagination, and it was indeed something to feel light for. She had finally got what she wanted. Now there won’t be any predicaments in her life no more. Because along with a good Salary will bring about changes and happiness in their lives.

“Afternoon, I am Kelly Ho, I was called by the manager from the employees recruitment department for submitting documents. Could you please just tell me where I have to submit them?” With utmost politeness Kelly Ho asked, she flashed a warm smile at the woman on the reception.

The lady on the reception smiled back, she was different from the one she had met last time. This one was a tad younger than the last receptionist and she smiled often unlike the previous one, “Oh yes ma’am, welcome to the Li Enterprises, I was actually waiting for you. Thanks for coming.” excitement filled Kelly’s breaths.

She cannot believe the woman at the reception was waiting for her until she told her the reason why, “I was ordered to inform the manager on your visit, I will just go and do the needful. Give me a second ma’am.” The receptionist moved towards the left, she picked up the receiver of the landline and punched a few numbers on the dial buŧŧons.

Kelly Ho took a deep breath looking around her at the office environment she had been dying to work with! This was the place where she indeed belonged.

Tbc…
