Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 53: At the Mall

Sebastian’s POV

I was disappointed with Stella because she didn’t let me know that she’s going out with Carla. We are living under the same roof. So, I should know where she is going. I just gasped as I lay in bed. I try to relax but I seem to have lost sleep. I grabbed my phone instead, and then I message Geisel. ’I might be late back to the office. I need to fix something here. ’

After, I messaged Geisel. I immediately got up from the bed and got dressed. Then I closed the door of the condo and got in my car.

I followed Stella using my phone tracking application and after a while, I immediately saw her location. A few minutes later, I saw a taxi drop them off at a mall. So, I decided to park in the parking area of ​​the mall. They went inside and went to the clothing shops. They seemed to look for some clothes when Stella suddenly turned her attention to my location so I immediately avoided looking at her. Fortunately, I was wearing a cap and sunglasses so I wasn’t noticed right away. When they finished shopping at the clothing shop, they went to an ice cream shop. While they were looking for some ice cream flavors, there is a guy who suddenly tapped Stella’s shoulder, I was shocked at what the guy did, and I don’t know the guy who tapped her shoulder. When Stella looked back at the guy, she seems like she couldn’t believe what she saw and suddenly hugged him. I can’t believe what Stella did. My fist shook as if about to punch. I’m wondering if I’m going to kill that man or continue following them. I decided to watch them first. They were talking happily until the three of them sat down at a table and Stella sat beside him. I can’t hear what they’re talking about but Stella looks happy to be talking to the guy with her now.

I watch them for a few more minutes until I couldn’t bear them already because I saw the guy wiping Stella’s lips. I immediately approached where Stella was and I immediately punched the man in the face so he suddenly fell down on the chair. I immediately saw Stella stand up to take me away. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Sebastian! What are you doing here?!" Stella shouted.

"What am I doing here? Really, Stella? Do you really ask me that question? How about you? What are you doing here? Is he a sweet guy? Because he even wipes your lips! " I ask seriously.

"Shut up, Sebastian! Don’t make a scandal here! Sam is doing nothing wrong and— "

"Oh, So, that man’s name is Sam. How long since you been fooling me, Stella? Have you been fooling me for a long time already? And in fairness, your bestfriend also knows about it. Are you surprised that I caught you fooling me?! " I said.

"Sebastian, you’re wrong, Stella isn’t fooling you," Carla said while helping the man that I punched.

"No! I don’t believe all of you! Fuck! I trusted you, Stella, but what? This is how you will return! "

"Fuck! Sebastian! Can you listen to me first! I’m not fooling you! That man you punched is my cousin! We haven’t seen each other for a long time so we missed each other and we decided to talk for a while and as you said, he wiped my lips because of the ice cream I ate. So, please stop accusing someone! Especially when you don’t know the real story. I am trying my best to understand you, Sebastian, because I know you are going through these days but it is no longer right. First of all, you got mad at me because I didn’t say to you that I’ll be going out with Carla. Second thing, I didn’t know you followed me here even though you knew I was with Carla. And the last thing, you suddenly punch someone you don’t know. Are those rich people like that? It is easy for them to hurt and blame someone because you have money and wealth. Do you think you can turn and control people with your palms? Is that how you treat me, Sebastian? Are you trying to control me? " Stella’s long explanation.

I slowly saw Stella burst into tears at what she said. "I’m sorry, Stella. I don’t want to control you. I was just carried away by my emotions. I am really so— "

"Enough! I don’t want to hear your sorry and explanation, Sebastian. We’d better not talk first," Stella said and walked out, with Carla and the guy who are with them.

I chased after Stella and grabbed her arm but she shrugged as I grabbed her arm.

"Please, Sebastian, leave me alone. Don’t talk to me right now. This is already too much ... Let me breathe first, please, " Stella sighed and walked away.

This time I let her go. I don’t want to lose Stella in my life. I love her and I want to be with her but because of what I do to her, she may disappear from my life. I started to cry because of what happened, I tried to wipe my tears and calm myself. I know... Stella will be coming back, and we going to fix this problem.

I walked out of the mall and got in my car. I looked at my phone and look if Stella texted me but I didn’t receive a single message from her. I just saw that Geisel had a text message saying that I had to go back to the office because something needed to be taken care of so I went straight to the office.

When I got to the office I immediately found Geisel holding a brown folder.

"What are you holding you, Geisel?" I ask.

"This is about your business trip. Supposedly, this business trip will be next month but the client wants to make it as soon as possible. So, this folder contains everything you need to know on a business trip to be held in Las Vegas. Our client’s name is Mr. Wong. He is an entrepreneur and businessman. He owns several casinos in Las Vegas. He considers our company to invest and to grow his business, " Geisel explained.

"I see. So, when it be held this business trip? And have you already told him already that I will handle these negotiations and not Louis? " I asked Geisel.

"Yes, Mr. Sebastian, he said that it’s okay. " Geisel said.

"Okay. So, when will it be held? " I ask.

"Next week, Wednesday, Mr. Sebastian," Geisel said.

"Next week, Wednesday?"

"Yes, Mr. Sebastian. He said next week as soon as possible. "

I just sighed at what Geisel said. "Okay, I have no choice because I am the only one expected here. Tell him, the schedule of our business meeting has been settled. "

"Okay, Mr. Sebastian. Don’t worry I’m sure we can get this client, " Geisel said.

"You seem to have a lot of trust in me, Geisel."

"I’ve been working here for quite a long and I can say that’s enough years to tell you that you really did a great job in this company, Mr. Sebastian. "

"Thank you, Geisel. By the way, can you order me food, because I haven’t eaten yet. "

"Okay, Mr. Sebastian. Are you okay, Mr. Sebastian? You seem in a deep thought. Are you thinking about Louis? "

"Not about Louis... about Stella, we had a huge fight awhile ago... at the mall ..."

"At the mall? So, that is the reason why you didn’t get back to the office right away? You had a date together?"

"We weren’t together... I followed him to the mall and I saw she was with another man that I didn’t know and because of my anger, I suddenly punched that man without knowing that it was her cousin. Then after that, we started to argue ... Then... she said she didn’t want to see me and talk to me right now, " I explained to Geisel.

"I see, it is really complicated what you going through right now, Mr. Sebastian, but if you don’t mind me ask you. Why did you follow Ms. Stella? Don’t you trust her? "

I was suddenly silenced by Geisel’s question. Do I have enough courage to trust her? Actually, I don’t know. I know she’s not like other women, I know she’s not like Elaine, my first ex-girlfriend... but I feel like Stella will do the same thing that Elaine did to me before. So, I avoided getting hurt again. But here I go again, falling in love with someone.

"I am sorry, Mr. Sebastian. You don’t need to answer my question if you’re not comfortable answering it. I know each of us has his or her way of life. I’ll go ahead now, Mr. Sebastian. "

"Thank you, Geisel, for understanding."

"You’re welcome, Mr. Sebastian, " Geisel replied and left my office.
