The Secret of the Billionaire's Curse

Feel Upset

‘For what do I feel dislike? I don't even know the girl,’ Frans murmured inwardly then turned his head forward.

“We go to the office now,” he told the driver. Not long after, the car he was riding drove at speed was splitting the streets of Copenhagen.

Frans shook his head, conscious of his silly behavior and trying to forget about Kara. After all, they had only met once and their chances of meeting back were extremely small. Frans did not want to think of anything uncertain. What's more, Frans has also promised himself that he doesn't want to be in touch with a woman given how the curse has stuck to him.

Meanwhile, Kara smiles at one of the male employees at her family's cafe. There are three officers there. One woman and two men. The two men worked to serve customers, the woman served in the kitchen, while Kara served behind the cashier's desk, Kara also intervened to work in the kitchen and serve cafe visitors.

“Hai, how are you today? Are you really healthy?” ask Kara to one of her employees named Dave.

The employee who was currently chatting with Kara had not left work for two days due to illness. So Kara greeted him and made sure of his situation today. For Kara, the health and safety of her employees is the main thing. So, he does not care if his employees can not come to work because they are sick.

“Good news. Two days of not doing anything at home makes me miss to work,” Dave replied with a big smile.

Kara chuckles amusedly. “Alright, then happy working again, Dave. But, remember, if you're still sick you just tell me,” Kara said as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

“Ready, Boss!” exclaimed Dave while raising his hand as if he was doing a salute.

Without the two of them noticing, the familiar gesture of the two of them had made someone who was outside the cafe think that they were lovers. Yeah, that guy is none other than Frans.

Dave is back to work as usual. Since Dave is back at work, Kara can be a little relaxed because she now only needs to work behind the counter.

In between her spare time, somehow the shadow of what happened last night comes back to haunt Kara. Again and again the memory of the girl twisted the incident where a man wanted to help her. Kara doesn't know who the man is but she can't forget him at all, as if the man has a special attraction for Kara.

“Kara, why are you daydreaming?” asked the grandmother who just went down to the cafe and found her grandson sitting while staring blankly at the computer.

Kara flinched from her daydream and turned to look at the grandmother. “Ah, I'm fine, Grandma. I just feel a little sleepy because last night I came home very late,” kilah Kara, hiding what was really in her mind.

“If you are still tired, let Grandma work today,” said Kara's grandmother.

“Grandma, no need. I just need to drink a little coffee then I will be fresh again quickly,” reply Kara while chuckling small.

His grandmother often helped with work at the cafe. However, given the old age of the grandmother, Kara did not want to let her grandmother work all day until it ran out of energy. She didn't want her grandmother to fall ill from her carelessness. Moreover, only Grandma Kara had in this world.

“Yes already, then Grandma will concoct special coffee for you,” said the grandmother as she walked to the coffee maker.

“Thank you, Grandma,” reply Kara while smiling warmly.

Despite living alone, Kara feels very grateful for having a grandmother who is very caring and understanding. The girl even felt no need to be lonely because there was no presence of parents because the grandmother could always comfort her heart. Because they live together, they can also learn to love and protect each other.

“Good morning, Sir,” said. “You have a guest in front of your room, Sir,” he said to tell Frans if someone is waiting for Frans in his study.

“Guest? Do I have a meeting this morning?” frans asked not to understand because he remembered he did not have an appointment with a client this early in the morning.

“No, Sir. I don't know who he is either but he insists if he knows you and wants to meet you.” explained the employee.

“Alright then I'll check it myself,” Frans said then get into the elevator.

Frans' elevator took Frans up to the highest floor of the high-rise. As the company's leader, many employees bowed their respects as they entered the same elevator as Frans.

As soon as he arrived at the top floor where his study was located, Frans' gaze turned irritated as he looked at who had been waiting for him. The man lazily walked over to the woman.

The woman who had been waiting for Frans was Claudia. The girl Frans took to his dad's company party last night. Frans had no idea what the woman was doing here because as he remembered their agreement was done. But, now he actually found the woman sitting on the sofa waiting room in front of his study. The concept of the waiting room was circular and open with two secretarial tables on each side.

“Hmm.”

Frans's deheman's voice made the woman turn her head and stand up when she saw Frans standing in front of her. “Frans,” sweep.

“Did my assistant forget to pay you last night?” ask Frans without further ado. He invites Claudia to go to the party in return. He just wanted to make sure that Claudia had already gotten that reward so he didn't have to deal with Claudia anymore.

“Ah, already. I've accepted it,” Claudia replied.

“Then, why are you here now?” frans asked with one eyebrow raised.

Frans who is a type of loner and closed man does not like if his personal area is touched by just anyone, even though the person is his ex-wife even once.

“Yight you just left me at the party without driving me home at all,” Claudia said.

Frans recalled what happened last night. “Well, technically I asked my driver to drive you home,” Frans replied.

“Is such an attitude of a gentleman?” Claudia Syndicate.

“I have no responsibility to do the things you demand of me because I have already paid you,” Frans replied. “Again I have a sudden business. You better leave now because I'm busy.”

As Claudia continues to grumble and protest with Frans's attitude, Frans, who can't stand, calls two passing security officers to take Claudia out of her office by force.
