Billionaire's Stolen Heart

"Lisa!! Come out. I brought a drink to celebrate." She heard Karen's excited voice."Celebrate what?""You finally gathered enough money to pay little Felix's school fees. You have been so worried ever since last year. We definitely got to celebrate."'celebrate?' Lisa's stomach churns.She glanced at Felix, forcing a smile. "Okay. Be right down."Her brother looked up at her, and she lowered her gaze, saying, "I will be right back. I am going to meet Karen outside.""Okay. Be careful.""Don't wait for me; go to bed when you are done.""Hmmm." Felix hummed. He stared at the door after she left, his brows slightly wrinkled.Lisa's smile, which she had been struggling to hold up, fell as she climbed down the stairs.They lived on the rooftop of the building. It has two rooms: a small living room, a small kitchen, and one bathroom. Shared by the small family.Now that her father was gone, Lisa didn't know if she should be happy or sad."Lisa!!" Karen waves at her from the bottom of the s

"Ah...." Lisa released a breath, and a scowl settled on her lips. "He was so arrogant, as if he thought I wouldn't be able to reject him.""And what did you say?" Karen leaned closer, even though she already knew the answer."Of course I said no.""He must have been surprised." Anyone in his shoes would feel so. Karen thought."You should have seen his face." Lisa giggled."If I were you, I definitely would have been tempted." Karen pointed out."Who said that I wasn't tempted? It was a whole ten million dollars after all.""But you didn't give in. You should give yourself credit for that."'right. You did well, Lisa.' She smiled."So, are you going to go back?""I don't know. I might as well hold on for a few more days.""Right. I was also thinking the same." Karen nodded.'Hopefully, I will never see him again.' Lisa prayed.★★★★★★Wearing a big bear costume on a hot day was definitely not a good choice.Still, Lisa had to do it. Handing out seasonal fliers to passersby.It was hard

Lisa added water to the machine and placed grounded coffee beans into the coffee filter. Pushing the single-shot button.Lisa patiently waited for the cup to be almost full before turning the machine off. Stirring in two spoons of sugar. She topped it with milk, drawing a leaf cover on the surface.Every movement was smooth and especially pleasing to the eye."I thought you might need some help, but it shows that you are even better than me." Dallian raised her chin, arms crossed, as she stood by the entrance of the break room.""Huh—thanks." Lisa smiled at the compliment."Also, as a newcomer, you are not just responsible for Mr. Axel's coffee alone, but everyone else's too.""I am?" Lisa's hand holding the tray shook."Hmmm." Dallian gave a short nod. "Here is a tip. Lee and Jamie like their coffee. sweet coffee and full of milk, Ms. Sarah, not too sweet; I prefer mine plain. Oh, and don't bother about Manager Hans; he doesn't drink coffee. Make sure not to mix it up." Lisa stared

The next morning, in work heels, Lisa rushed to the other end of the city before heading to work.She was some minutes late, but Axel wasn't in yet, and Carol turned a blind eye to her lateness.She rushed through making the morning coffees before getting to work.Carol had her make some slides before having her deliver some files to the fifth floor, then she was asked to attend to a visitor waiting in the lobby."You are working very hard, newbie." Dahlia praised, handing her a chilled soda.Lisa accepted it without any hesitation, downing it all in a few gulps. "Thank you." She wiped her mouth with the back of her palm, drawing in a deep breath. She thought, 'When is he coming?' Glancing at a wristwatch, it was already past four, and Axel was yet to arrive."Is there somewhere you are going?" Jamie asked."What? No." Lisa shook her head."Wow, your heels are so high. How can you walk in that for so long?"Dahlia said, and as if on cue, manager Hans looked up from his laptop, spinni

Lisa wiped the sweat off her face with the bottom of her apron. She made sure that the pot lid was properly covered before strolling out of the kitchen.Checking her phone, there was a new text. She wiped her palms on the back of her pants before tapping on it.It was from Felix; Roy injured his leg during the game. Me and Bruce will be escorting him home, and I may be a little late.She furrowed her brows and typed back, Is he alright?'He is fine now. Only that, he won't be able to play for the time being.'She was less worried after seeing this. Dropping the phone back on the couch.She turned off the cooker, looking outside the window.The sun was already down, and the skies were starting to darken. She had gotten off work earlier since there wasn't much to do. It was hard to get free time like this, so she grabbed her purse and decided to do some grocery shopping.On her way out, she took out the bin, letting out an unrestrained yawn as she climbed down the steps.It had already
