CHAPTER 3 YOUNGEST FEMALE BILLIONAIRE
"You sure?" napatango ng ilang beses ang mga ito at di na namilit pa. Heaven actually knows what was going on. The club members and officers had long been trying to put them together, however, Heaven feigns ignorance.
If Eandor is not saying anything about it, then Heaven decided to let him keep his pride, she actually liked him way before, pero ngayon, pinapasa Diyos niya nalang. Kung talagang para sila sa isa't isa, mangyayari at mangyayari iyan.
Habang naglalakad sila patungo sa parking lot ng paaralan, nadaanan nila ang ilang mga estudyante na tumatanggo at bumabati sa kanila. Eandor offered to carry her bag but she refused, hindi dahil sa ayaw niya mapalapit, bagkus kung graduate na siya ngayon, bibigyan niya talaga ng chance ang lalake kung aamin ito at seryoso sa kanya, pero dahil wala naman itong ginagawa, ay di na pipilitin ang sarili.
The walk was not that long or short, after Heaven unlocked the car door, Eandor opened it for her and watched her drive away. Eandor is a capable man and really good looking at that. Mapungay na mga mata, mapulang labi, matangkad at mestiso. Maraming mga babae rin sa kanilang University ang nababaliw dito, may iilan na umamin at iilan naman na tahimik lang na may gusto sa kanya.
As one of the campus heartthrobs, they are already immune to these incidents so it's nothing for them if someone would confess out of the blue.
Heaven drove her Chevrolet Camaro 2022 car through the busy roads and stopped in front of a fairly tall building. The moment she parked her car in the lot, especially for her, the guards at the gate called the CEO at once to inform him of her arrival.
Soon a man rushed out of his office with a rather hurried expression, he was delighted to hear that his gold maker was around. Gold because every book would always be sold out.
She was like a highly valued treasure in his eyes that was why as much as possible, he wanted her to be treated like royalty despite how she refused it a couple of times.
"Miss Heaven, my lovely girl, you should have left the car to my people, you didn't have to go all the way back to the lot." ani nito sabay halik sa kamay ni Heaven gaya ng lagi itong ginagawa. Habit na talaga nito ang paghalik sa kamay, ani moy maginoong binata na nag bibigay atensyon sa kanya.
"Mr. Callum, a pleasure to see you again."
"Ano ka ba naman Heaven, 4 years na tayong magkakilala pero you still call me by my last name. Kaya laging iniisip ni papa na pinapabayaan kita eh." Jae Callum is the Ceo of Akda Publishing house. It was actually his father, Jason Callum, that signed and courted her for a year to let them publish her books 5 years ago, and the year after that, he retired due to his wife's requests to travel the world with him, so he then gave the company to his eldest son, Jae Callum.
Before he left the company, he made it especially clear that Heaven would be given 2% of the company shares due to how much she had brought the company sales even when she was still a few months with them. After 5 years, her 2% share grew into 10% and no one dares to belittle her power.
Hindi lang sa Akda publishing House siya mayroong shares, nasa iba't ibang kompanya rin na kung saan nag pa publish siya. With how much money she pulls every month, they were more afraid of losing the money making machine that gaining fame if they dare to spill to the public who 'Dione' the famous writer is.
And the damage if they ever breach the discretion contract was 500 million, not including the charges once she decides to let her legal team sue them.
At the tender age of 21, turning 22 this coming April after she graduates, she already has at least 1.5 billion in her bank account, and every day, she earns more. This then made her one of the billionaires and youngest one at that, earning the top 9 spots. Since no one knows her net worth, she was a discreet billionaire.
Her writing managed to drag her family to where they are right now, away from the dirt poor living they used to experience. Ang alam ng kanyang relatives, siya ay manunulat, ngunit lingid sa kaalaman nila na siya sikat at isang bilyonaryo na.
Hindi naman sa sila ay nagdadamot, hiniling niya lamang sa kanyang pamilya na huwag ipagkakalat ang kanyang katauhan, at siya ay tutulong lamang kapag talagang importante at di sila ginagamit, hindi iyong nariyan lamang sila kapag nangangailangan.
She actually funded her father's and mother's family sides into starting their own business by anonymously giving them half a million to a million for business start-ups. If they mess it up, she wouldn't bother helping again.
She believes that help is voluntary and not some requirement. She was not obliged to be the saint and carry their weight. She helps, but she knows and they should also know the limit to someone's kindness. Even when they are a relative.
Her family knows her net worth could be around a hundred million, but it did not cross their mind that she was more than capable of living her life in this lifetime freely and luxuriously, without worries.
"Take a seat" Jae's secretary quickly came to serve her usual earl gray tea with butter cookies and banana muffins. It was something that they gradually learned. Everyday was a different treat and it just happens that Thursday was the trio's combo.
"Thank you Cary." she politely nodded her head at the woman who blushed and trotted away from the office.
