Hailey's POV
"Excuse me? Are you out of your mind? You asking me to marry you and in return, you will pay me? What do you think of me, a gold digger?" I hissed in disbelief.
"Don't you like my proposal? I'm a billionaire. All women are crawling just to be with me and then I offered you that they have died for. Don't tell me you are going to refuse it? Hahahaha! Are you that narrow?" He laughed in a sarcastic way
Due to anger, my palm quickly landed on his cheek. Yes, I slap him! I don't care if he is a famous billionaire. He has no right to speak to me like that.
"If you think Sir everyone you can buy with your money, well I'm not! I don't need your money and I won't lower my dignity as a woman just to chase you. You are rich but arrogant!" I furiously said and form my hand into fistball.
He rubbed his cheek on where I hit him. He looks quite shocked and didn't see it coming.
"Don't forget that you are working in my aunt's restaurant, woman! I'm the VIP here! You should respect me!" He screams at the top of his lungs and greeted his teeth.
"If you want someone's respect then give it to them first! If you don't want to be rude from others, don't be rude either."
"Whatever you say! That's how women like you will show up at first but after a while, they will also give in. A woman like you only needs money. That's the reason why you are working here. For money. "
I was stunned for a moment because of what he said. The news I have heard before that this man's tongue was really bad was all true.
He stood up and looked at me intently. "Got cut your tongue? Did I hurt your ego? Look, don't get me wrong. I'm trying to be honest here. You know what? You are not fit to work here. You do not belong in this fancy restaurant." He said as he walked out.
Due to annoyance, I picked up the bowl quickly and followed him. He was about to get in his car when I threw the bowl in his direction.
I was shocked when he wasn't the one who was hit but it was his car window. My eyes almost drop because of what happened a while ago. He was also in a trace of disbelief and after a second, his face darkened.
"What the fuck! You!" he shouted angrily while pointing at me
I almost swallowed my saliva out of fear.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I apologize
He immediately came closer to me as fast as he can.
"And what are you thinking, huh? You'll just say sorry for breaking the window of my car and then what?"
"I-I'll pay it. Promise... I'll pay the damage I've caused." I promise quickly
He burst out into a laugh. "Don't make me laugh woman! You'll pay? Do you know how much that cost? Bullshit!" His eyes glaze over with anger
I almost choked because I didn't know what to do. Why did I even think of stoning him? Your crazy, Harley!
"I'll give you one week to pay for what you broke. Be sure to pay it on time woman or else... I will sue you!" he warned and picked up his phone as if he called someone.
I, on the other hand, seemed to be stuck in my position because I didn't know what to do. He gives me a week off! Where can I get money to pay him?
You're in big trouble, Harley!
Later on, an expensive car arrived. The man in front of me turned to me and looked at me intently. "One week woman, one week!" he repeated as he walked into the car that had just arrived.
"W-wait!" I called to make him stop but he ignored me and continue to get in the car.
Dang! I'm dead!
I almost lost my balance on my position as I watched Killian's car drive away.
I don't know where I can get the money to pay for his window car that I broke. I can't request advance payment where I work because I have money to allocate for that and I'm sure it won't be enough for me to pay for his car.
And even more so, I will not ask for help from my parents because it will give me a bunch of sermons and also, the reason why I left the house is to become independent so I don't want to approach them due to the issue I made.
I went back inside the restaurant to clean what Killian had eaten. Even though I can't think straight, I was still able to clean the kitchen utensils properly. After cleaning, I immediately picked up my bag and decided to go home.
While I was in the taxi, I still couldn't forget the confrontation with the billionaire Killian. Added the money needed to pay him within a week.
I suddenly thought of my friend. I can't think of anyone else to borrow money if not him but I'm embarrassed to approach him because of the reason behind why I need the money.
I closed my eyes first because I felt that my strength had been taken away from me due to what that man had done. If he hadn't come to the restaurant, I would have had a quiet life and no problem.
But I can't forget what he said earlier about the woman he loved but left him.
But I will never forget what he said earlier about the woman he loved then left him before they get married.
'Is that's the reason why he offered me a marriage?'- I whispered to myself
What if I accept the marriage he proposed? So that I don't have any problem by chance?
Arg! Erase! Erase! It's not good idea! When I accepted that offer, it turns out that everything he said about me was true, that money is the only equivalent of my femininity. That's a big no for me! I still have respect for myself .
