The Playboy’s Downfall novel Chapter 2

“Boss, the delivery will be tonight,” suddenly, he heard the voice of his secretary.

Zero nodded.

“And Miss Tilda is on the phone again. She wants to talk—”

“I don’t have a business with her. And how the hell she knew our number?”

“Your father gave it to him, Boss,” the secretary replied.

Zero shook his head. “Just drop it. And what time is my appointment this afternoon?”

“It’s 3 o’clock, Boss.”

Zero nodded. “You may leave,” he said, making his secretary exit his office.

He heaved a deep sigh as he turned around and watched those glimmering skyscrapers. Tilda constantly nags him. That woman is in New York while he’s in Spain at the moment, but damn, she really won’t stop. However, the hell does he care? It’s not like he will give a damn about that woman.

He turned his swivel chair to the side, grabbed his phone, and called someone. “What’s the status, Fred?”

“I think she stopped going to school. She’s not living in her condo also.”

Zero sighed when he heard about it. Damn it, he cursed.

“What else?” he asked since it’s been three weeks since he called Fred to check on her.

“She was confined for two days at the hospital, and after that, she never went to her school and lived in her condo.”

Zero frowned. “Do you know why?”

He heard Fred’s sigh. “I tried to ask Apollo—”

“And?”

“Apollo told me it’s because of you. She’s suffering stress since you left, and it might be the cause of why she lost consciousness.”

Zero leaned on his chair and sighed. “Thanks, Fr—”

“Why do you need to do this? You’re just making yourself suffer. You part ways—you choose to stay away from her, but you can’t stop thinking and worrying about her. Dude, you’re really pussy-whipped.”

“Fred—”
