Chapter 68 Old Acquaintance Part 2
Nalzen
“Tsk! You already forget that fat boy with acne on his face who proposed to you during your high school?” He answered smirking.
His voice echoed in my mind and I came into deep thinking.
Who is this fat boy?
Who proposed to me?
Remembering those days of the Famous Nalzen Villarreal makes me want to go back to the past where I’am just a happy-go-lucky student without any problems.
But I already regret those days.
I’ve given heartaches and problems to my parents.
But still, they always cared for me.
And I’m ungrateful that I wasn’t able to return their kindness to me.
It’s all in the past and I can’t go back and live in the shadow of my younger years.
I’m happy that I’am mature and grown up now. I just hope that my parents are happy in heaven while looking at me now.
This is what they always wanted. For me to have a happy family on my own and a great job that I love the most.
I didn’t do anything good during these years of my spoiled brat days.
And speaking of spoiled…
The fat boy that I’ve known is cruel and spoiled too! But he will never win against me because I’m much crueler than him!
I’m the evil queen during those times.
“You are Fatty Julius?” I asked laughing.
“Look at you, you’re still the same! The heartless and famous Nalzen Villarreal. You didn’t even change at all huh.” He seriously said.
But I know that he is just joking. We are Enemies first before we became friends. He’s a good friend of mine but when I did not accept his proposal he suddenly stop schooling and I didn’t see him at all until now.
“You’re the heartless fatty, You suddenly disappeared and I didn’t hear from you at all. Where have you been?” I asked.
“You know that I’m brokenhearted since you busted me. And I’m ashamed of myself but look at me now! I’m so handsome and got a killer body that every woman will die for. So, how was it? Did you fall for me this time?” He asked smiling showing his beautiful teeth.
And I felt like I’m going to burst out from laughing. But I should control myself not to hurt his feelings again.
“Julius-” He stops me from talking.
“Wait- I’am not using that second name again! You can call me Mark.” He said trying to be cute.
What will I do with this fatty Julius?
“Okay Mark, I’am still not attracted to you. But you are my good friend and you know that!” I said.
And his facial expression is sad and will about to cry. He is still the soft-hearted fatty!
“I’ve been looking for you for almost how many years now and I’m excited to show you that I’am not fat anymore. I’m very handsome. And you still didn’t like me?”He asked crying.
Oh, here comes the crying baby! But he’s an adult now!
“Stop it, Don’t cry. Other applicants might think that I scolded you for what you did outside! And Mark, but I still want to call you Julius. I’am already Married.” There, I drop the bomb to cut off his hope.
“What? Why? You didn’t even invite me to your wedding!” He shouted.
He is exaggerating again! Julius is always the best Actor in our class.
“Stop your act, Mark Julius Borromeo! Let’s talk seriously here. So, what happened? I thought that you inherited your family’s business. Why are you applying for a model?” I asked confused.
His family is a Billionaire that owns some beach resorts not just here in the Philippines but outside of the country too.
They also have some famous Malls that I wanted to propose someday to introduce Z Fashion’s collections and make my clothing stand there.
“I’m bored! I just want to enjoy a carefree life while I’m still young. Dad and Mom are always scolding me but I don’t want to listen. I’am their only child and heir. They should let me do whatever I like and give all that I need.” He explained.
And I felt sad upon hearing about his parents. He’s lucky that he still has them by his side. My parents died and I’m giving them problems and a headache. They didn’t even see and witness the new me.
“Don’t say that, You are lucky that you still have your parents by your side Julius. Go back and do whatever they said because one day you will regret that you didn’t even listen to them while they are still alive.” I said and tears fall from my eyes.
I couldn’t control my emotions! I miss my parent so much. I hope that they have already forgiven me.
“What do you mean? And why you are crying? Nalzen are you okay?” He asked with concern while patting my back.
“I’m okay, I just miss my parents. They are already dead.” I answered bitterly.
I can see the shocked expression that is written all over his face.
“They are both dead? I just can’t believe it! Last time I eat your Mom’s strawberry cake and now she is dead? I’m sorry to hear about your loss Nalzen.” He said sincerely.
“It’s okay and thank you. I just suddenly miss them when I heard what you’re doing! You should stop being bored Julius and be serious with your life!” I encourage him.
“Yeah, I can do that but for now. I like to be a model hehe. So, am I accepted?” He winks at me.
Let me think of it first. He is both handsome and got a beautiful body to be proud of. He got it all and there’s no reason for me not to accept him. Except for his bully behavior!
“Okay, you pass. But hopefully, you will stop bullying others and do good. You’re a grown-up man now and you are still acting like a baby!”I told him and he only laugh at me.
What the?!
“Why are you laughing? Something funny?” I asked confused.
“That’s it? No problem! I’m just bored and wanted to create chaos while waiting in line. But promise, I will never do it again.” He answered.
“I just hope that you will keep your promise. But you know, I wanted to make an appointment with your parents and submit a proposal.” I said.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I just wanted to share it with him. I want to see my Z Fashion collection in the Mall!
“You sound excited. What is it all about?”He asked curiously.
“I want to put my Z Fashion collections in your Mall and yes I’m excited about it! But I’m still busy now and my focus is the Fashion Show in New York. Maybe Later, I will do it!” I answer with full of determination.
“Wow, the Famous Nalzen Villarreal has finally grown up!” He said while clapping.
But before I can answer someone interrupted our conversation.
“And what is the meaning of this?” Andrea suddenly open the door and she is angry!
“Excuse me? I’m supposed to ask you. What are you doing in here?” I asked annoyed.
“Huh, You are flirting with my boyfriend! I should have asked you. I already gave up Aaron and now you plan to hit with my boyfriend. You’re amazing Nalzen!” She answered angrily.
And now I’am confused! She is claiming to be Julius’ girlfriend? What is happening? Life will always surprise me!
“Julius, is this true?” I asked.
“Nope, I don’t even know her! You’re a funny woman.” Julius answered laughing.
“If that is so, please Andrea don’t cause trouble in here. I’am in the middle of an interview. You may go out!”I said calmly.
“Mark, Baby! What are you saying? You don’t know me?” Andrea shouted.
And she is causing trouble in here!
And I wanted to puke when I heard the word baby!
If this is true, Why did Julius choose her? She will not pass on the taste of his parents!
I’m sure he will only answer that he is bored!
Poor Andrea!
“Stop it, It’s my interview and you are ruining it. Nalzen, can you call your guards and throw her away?”Julius is already angry and this time, he is not faking it.
“Why you’re doing this to me, baby? You are hurting me! You can’t throw me away. I’am the vice president of Aaron and representative!” She answered smirking.
“Who said I can’t? Even if you are the President, I don’t care!” Julius answered and pull Andrea’s hand.
“Wait, Julius! Calm down. I have something to say to her.” I said.
“Okay, I better leave then. Did I pass?” He asked.
“Yes, before you leave just to go to my secretary’s office for further instructions. Congratulations Julius!” I answered smiling.
“Wow! Thank you. Let’s talk some other time.” He said happily then walk outside the door without looking at Andrea.
She is still shocked and angry. Whatever their story is, I don’t care at all!
“Mark, wait for me!”Andrea shouted and run towards the door but I called her.
“Andrea we should talk about your job here,” I said seriously.
“That can wait, Mark won’t!” She answered angrily.
“Julius can wait but this news won’t!” I insist.
“Stop calling him Julius. He is Mark! I’m telling you, Don’t flirt with him, or else I will kill you!”She threatens me.
And I’m tired of people who will treat me like this!
“He’s all yours for all I care! You must listen now to what I’m going to say. From now on, you can’t easily walk in and out of my company without an appointment. You are no longer Aaron’s vice president! He already give us the memorandum announcing that you are being fired.”I said.
And she suddenly runs wild!
“No! Why are you doing this to me? You can’t just throw me away! I will not allow it!”She answered while slamming my table.
“You better go out before I call the guards or police and sue you for trespassing.” I’m warning her.
This time let me threaten her!
“Huh! You will never succeed Nalzen. I will ruin you. Remember that!” She said then stormed outside the door without looking back.
After all the life and death that I experienced. I’am not afraid anymore! People will always threaten and look down on me but I will never let them win.
I’am the famous Nalzen Villarreal and no one can hurt me again.
I’am strong now, So bring it on!
