Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaires (#1): Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Logan had invested so much money into this plan of his. He had gotten her Apple electronics only; a laptop, phone, and tablet, and they were all registered under May Smith, and all three of them had her email address on them, but if Logan thought she was going to use his things; he had another thing coming.  As if reading her mind, her new phone rang and Logan’s name flashed on the screen. If the phone was not so loud and she did not have a headache, she was probably not going to answer it. Unfortunately, the bloody thing was getting louder by the minute. MJ groaned and answered the call, “Yes?”  “I’m still waiting for my coffee, Miss Smith. I like my coffee strong, with two sugars and a lot of milk.” Logan said and hung up on her. MJ groaned and slammed the phone on the desk, and prayed to all the gods she could think of, that the bloody thing was broken.  She got up and left her office, and went to the private kitchen, which she had to search

Hours flew by and before he knew it, it was lunchtime. It had been three hours since Logan had sent MJ to print out some documents and send them to his office, but to his disappointment, there were no documents; he did not think she would defy him so fast. He sighed and got up from his chair. He took off his jacket from the hanger and put it on, and then he fixed his tie and collar before he grabbed his phone off the table and left his office. He walked towards her office and stopped at the door, not believing what he was seeing. Right in front of his eyes was his PA, sleeping. Unfortunately for Logan, she looked so calm and beautiful in her sleep, and that fact was too hard to ignore. Logan walked slowly and carefully to her desk. He walked around the desk and squatted down beside her. Her face was covered by a few strands of her curly hair, and Logan watched how they moved every time she fanned at them with her shallow breaths. He slowly reached for her f

Shannon just stood there and stared at MJ for quite a long time. To say she was shocked would be an understatement of the year. How was it possible that Logan was having lunch with the woman who humiliated him, and how was it possible that this woman was with the same man who insulted her? Was this how rich people lived; dine with their enemies? She looked between the two to see if there was some kind of tension, but to no avail. “Shannon?” Logan asked, surprised. “What are you still doing here? I thought you had quit.” Shannon gave him a tight smile. “Logan, I signed a damned contract that says I have to give a notice, so I’m here to fulfil my task before I can leave.” She said through gritted teeth, and Logan rolled his eyes. “May, this is Shannon, David Botha’s younger sister. Shannon, this is May Smith, Sonya Smith’s sister. She’s standing in for her sister.” Logan intr

After Logan left MJ at the restaurant, MJ went back to the office and worked on the documents Logan had asked for, and highlighted in some points and edited them. There was only thirty minutes left of work, and she was almost done with the documents. Who could have thought she would actually follow one of his orders and really work for him? She shook her head and sighed. The minutes flew by and it was home time. Logan knocked on MJ’s door and walked in, holding his jacket and briefcase in his left hand, and his phone and keys on his right. His shirt was hanging out, his tie loose, and his hair a mess. He looked tired. “Hi.” He greeted and gave her a small smile. He did not know how to approach her after his behaviour earlier; if he wanted his plans to work, he would have to practice patience. He had to accept that May Smith could not and would not tell him the truth on the spot, thankfully, his behaviour did not jeopardise his plans, and M

The next morning, on a Sunday, MJ woke up early and prepared for her morning jog. She needed to clear her head after everything that took place the previous night including Carmen’s pregnancy and Shannon’s fight. She placed her phone on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to put on her Nike trainers. She wore a black Nike sports bra and black Adidas track pants with white stripes on the side. She tied her hair into a messy bun and grabbed her phone and earphones off the table, and then she grabbed a water bottle from the counter and left the apartment. She wore her earphones and took off running once outside the building. It was her first weekend in Cape Town and it had not started well. Logan’s girlfriend, Carmen, had returned and to make things worse, she was pregnant. A lot of things were going to change on Monday, and the fact that Lola would be returning too did not make things any better. Lolitta Leibrandt knew MJ
