My Grumpy Billionaire

When you look at the beautiful morning from the sun rays peeking through your window in a mansion, you'll know that someone wealthy lives on this island. Danielle is a beautiful woman who's full of energy and friendly with almost everyone around her.

She owns a clothing company that she started from scratch in her college days. Now, she has expanded her business and ships her products to customers overseas. It was an amazing feat and a breakthrough from poverty.

She's in her late twenties and all her childhood friends envied her achievement. Every day was like a shower of blessings as her business kept growing geometrically. However, she always felt bad because she had no man in her life.

Whenever her parents reminded her of not being married, she would always give them excuses for focusing on her business. The pressure was mostly coming from her mother who couldn't take it anymore.

"Danielle, what's the meaning of this? Do you think you're getting any younger? Time flies quickly my dear or are you a lesbian?" said her mother.

Danielle felt overwhelmed and regretted why she visited her parents again. As the only daughter, it was quite understandable why her mother was on her neck. She almost lost her appetite as she dropped the spoon on the table. The spaghetti with meatballs, although sumptuous, started giving her a foul odor due to her mother's action.

"I'm talking to you so I demand an answer. What are you thinking of?" Her mother interrupted her thoughts.

"Mom, I'm just twenty-eight. I can choose to get married at thirty. You make it seem like I'm in my late forties." Danielle responded in a disappointed tone.

Meanwhile, her father kept eating and tried to change the discussion to relieve tension in the house.

"My daughter, how is business going? Hope your profit increases daily?"

Danielle's face lit up and she said, "Business is going well. My competitors are behind my company and I've developed strategies to make my employees enjoy working with me. I can't wait to be the richest woman in the….."

"With this mentality of yours, you might never have an interest in getting married. Who do you think will inherit all the wealth you have amassed? Do you want to donate your properties to the orphanage homes and give everything to charity? Do you want to cut our race? If I didn't give birth to you, you wouldn't be this dreamy so just get a man and let me have peace." Her mother countered.

At that point, Danielle remembered what her therapist told her during tense scenarios like this. So she slowly inhaled and exhaled and she tried as much as possible to calm her mother.

"I have heard you, Mother. I'll try to get into one or two dates so I can find an ideal spouse."

"Are you sure? Hope this isn't one of your games to make me calm. I need feedback from you as soon as possible," said her mother.
