The Odd Billionaire

Traizle

This place is too familiar. It’s been years since we left this place, so why am I here again?

Did I ever go here with my eyes closed?

Did I ever walk here while sleeping?

Sleepwalking? Isn’t it?

Where are Lyndon and Layzen?

“Traizle! Layzen is very sick, let’s go to the hospital!” Lyndon-no, a young Lyndon appeared.

I was about to answer him when my younger self approached Lyndon.

I can see my younger self. Can they see me too?

Am I dreaming of our past… again?

“Where are Mom and Dad?” The young me asked the young Lyndon.

“Dad left with bags in him. Mom’s gone wild inside of their room. I don’t know what to do.” The young Lyndon answered, almost crying but keeping himself from crying and being strong.

I followed them as they entered the house, our old house. Mom is still inside the house, screaming and breaking the glasses inside while crying.

The two went to see Layzen, who was burning up with a fever. They don’t know what to do with Layzen. They are panicking and scared at the same time.

My younger self knocked on my Mom’s door, telling Layzen he was very sick.

“Let him die!” Mom growled.

3 words, but enough to halt us. We can’t move from our position. I don’t know why.

What am I doing here?

“Traizle!”

I open my eyes, showing Lyndon and Layzen by my side. Lyndon’s worried face. That was his reaction a while ago in my dream.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you okay?” Lyndon asked me, helping me to sit.

Layzen stood up and got me a glass of water.

“Thank you,” I told Layzen after drinking the glass of water he got. “I am okay, sorry for worrying you guys. I had a nightmare.” I added.

I checked Layzen’s forehead to see if he was okay or not. When I felt that he was not sick, I felt relieved.

“Did you see that again?” Lyndon asked me, worried again.

“What are you guys talking about?” Layzen asked, since he does not know about that.

I nodded to Lyndon. Lyndon knows everything. I have no reason to hide anything from him. If there is an award for being the best brother and sister tandem, I am sure that we will get one or more.

“It’s about the past that happened,” I explained to Layzen. “You don’t know what happened before because you were still a baby at that time.” I added.

“You can tell me what happened before since I am a big boy now.” Layzen said, eager to know the stories he does not know.

“You are still a kid. The story is not suitable for your age.” Lyndon commented that made Layzen frown.

I embrace Layzen while showering him with kisses.

“We will tell you everything if you are older enough, okay?” I told Layzen. “As of now, the stories are not good for you. I hope you can understand us.” I added, trying to explain it to him.

Layzen smiled before hugging me back again.

“I understand it. I will wait until I get older enough so that I can handle those stories.” Layzen answered.

He is really mature and I can’t help but be proud of him.

“We should get ready, Layzen.” Lyndon said.

When I look at the clock, it’s 5:30 in the morning. Their class is starting at 7 AM. I stood up and also helped them to prepare themselves before myself.

I can’t help but not to be feel at ease after having that dream again. From time to time, I will have that dream as if it’s a replay button.

After sending the two, I started walking to my work. Since it is near, I also don’t have to ride a taxi or bus there.

I arrived at the Grand Finance after only thirty minutes of walking.

“Morning Traizle! Sleep on the wrong side?” Tyler asked when I entered the company.

I halted and found a reflection of myself in the mirror.

“Do I look okay today?” I even asked Tyler if there is something wrong with my face. “Sleep on the wrong side.” I added, confirming Tyler’s question.

“You look okay, don’t worry. Rest while you can.” Tyler said.

“I will, thank you.” I answered as I went to the cafeteria.

I was not able to eat because I was still bothered a while ago. I will drink coffee and eat some buns if they have it.

I sat on the vacant table and drank my coffee. I also asked for buns, which thankfully they had. I think they have everything we ask inside, the old woman even gave me fillings, nutella, in an expensive way.

“You did not take your breakfast?” Zarsuelo whispered behind me.

I was surprised and glared at him in return.

“You don’t look too well today. Did something happen?” He asked worriedly-no not worried.

He is gobbling my buns with the fillings inside already, knowing that it is nutella, a sweet. He will definitely eat those.

“Hmm. It’s good. I should eat this as well every morning.” he complimented. “You okay?” He asked afterward.

“Yeah, I am okay. I just had a nightmare a while ago.” I shared.

“You did? I won’t call for you, so rest until you feel okay.” said Zarsuelo while eating.

Gulping my coffee, Zarsuelo gave me a bun with fillings inside that he made.

“Here, eat that. You need to eat.” he said.

I get the buns and eat them. He is busy filling the buns with nutella.

Fortunately, I finished my breakfast without Zarsuelo pestering me. He even volunteered to bring back the nutella, because while he is walking to the counter, he is eating the nutella. His high-paid ideas and tactics.

I headed to our office room, while Zarsuelo headed straight to his office. He probably asked for sweets at the counter. I will let him go for now.

I started looking for his schedules today. Opening the files he previously gave me containing information about every major financial institution in our country, as well as other partnerships, investments, and investors. Although he is acting crazy, he can really still manage to run this company.
