MISS BILLIONAIRE MR POOR

Eros Edward

Eros POV :

I placed her orders before her, was about going in to get the remaining orders too because now was the time nearby companies came by for lunch when I felt a burning sensation on my head and shoulders. Just the look of unbelief on everyone's face told the story, turned to face her the ask her why, without saying anything to explain herself she stood up, dropped the money for her “FOOD”, packed her stuff and walked out. Just as I was about to block her by catching up to her, the last face I wanted to see stood before my path, glaring at me as if I did something wrong.

“Follow me to my office now!" he barked out

I followed him into his office, he went behind the desk and sat down, took out his glasses wore them, stared at me for about 6 minutes without blinking then he stood up, walked to his little bar, took a bottle and a cup he returned to his seat. He poured himself a shot before facing my direction.

“Do you know who the young lady you wanted to chase after is?" he asked without looking at me directly, just staring at his cup pouring himself another shot with ice within and shaking. “No, I don't" I replied

“ Hmmm too bad, things didn't favor you... Eros, I have nothing but anything I mean any f*****g s**t that will mess with my earnings and my living I will delete. Her f*****g family owns practically this town are you trying to get me ruined ? Who f*****g sent you" He shouted “ well you are fired, here's you pay for the day"

“Hey, Richard is this necessary, "I asked. “Eros you don't know this person better than I do, let's hope it doesn't grow any bigger, or I'm in some deep s**t ”......

It's damn frigid out here just lost my job decided to take the long route home trekking, took my earpiece out plugged it into my phone, opened my music app to play “ stick around by Lukas ”..

Hmm Decembers preceding, lovers holding hands as they walk giggling now and then as they walk past, niggas now on the street to make some sales, old men and workers gathered at sports centers to watch the games they paid for. I would often get greetings from people every 10 steps I take.

......., .......

Ding dong Ding dong ding dong as I pressed the door alarm

" Whos there” heard a cute voice from inside “Open up Richie," I said back

“Eros eros eros is back from work " he shouted like he always does. I couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable he looked. His soft curly black hair complemented his emerald eyes and he always wore a big smile, always hopping around whenever I came back. “Eros Eros what did you get for me," he said as he jumped to get my bag. “Hey there kiddo chill. I got you ice cream and a slice of pizza. “Hurray", he squealed with delight. He jumped higher did a short celebratory dance before collecting them and running off.

I walked towards the kitchen to get some water to drink, then I poured myself a cup of milk before joining Richie in the sitting room, “hey kiddo bring your homework. let me see your answers". “Okay coming", he replied running off to go get his books. He was watching a cartoon and he didn't want to miss the scene he was on. “ He came rushing back throwing me the book and jumping on the sofa to continue watching his cartoon.

I went through his answers and adjusted what needed to be adjusted. While I was still on it the doorbell rang, “ hmm looks like Ann is back from work. Ann was my closest friend. She was also a chef. She stood tall at 5'7. She had short blond and chocolate brown eyes.

I opened the door to let her in “Whatsup mate, Richard called me about what transpired today, should I look for her and give a piece of my mind?" she asked raising her fist.

"Haha, you and violence are 5 and 6, if you continue this way you might chase away your future husband and that my dear would not end well hahaha ”. “You have also joined my mom in saying nonsense" she pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Before long her eyes widened as realization struck her, “wait you are a chef right? Young, educated, certified isn't this wonderful “ she said jumping and clapping before she stopped suddenly grinning from ear to ear. I took few steps back because her current appearance looked suspicious.

“You know, being without a job isn't a bad thing now ”she said solemnly,

“Theres a competition coming up very soon. I will fill you in later. Got to go now byee", she said, running out, leaving me standing there, surprised and confused. .

ELLA'S POV :

I entered my car in haste to avoid him coming after me ....

OMG what did I just do to him, his grey gaze was in demand of an explanation, what came over me ? I hope he won't pursue this matter further, wait who am I again.. Ella Byrne the sole heiress to a multi billionaire company there's nothing he can do to me and if he does or eventually reports to the authority, Ashley will settle things .

I drove back to the company garage.. brought out my phone from my little hand bag , searched for Ashley's number on my phone and dialed it.

“ Good afternoon ma this is Ashley, how may I be of help to you?" she said from the other side.

“I obviously know it's you that's why I called you in the first place village pumpkin, get downstairs now. I'm waiting for you parked in the garage and don't waste my time ”. After saying what I needed to say, I ended the call and waited in silence.

A knock on my car glass brought me out of my reverie. I could make out a clean sentence from what she was saying through the glass, directed to get in through the other door.

“Good afternoon ma I'm here ma” she

said almost immediately upon entering

“Yea I can see that , I'll go straight to the point , go around and recruit ten chefs. I'll select five out of the great chefs that will be on my teams for the search of a better recipe".

“Where would I find these chefs ma'am?" Ashley asked timidly.

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. “Ashley dear", I started, calmly, “I pay you very well to do what I ask you too, not ask me questions!! I don't care where you find them, just make sure they're talented". I yelled.

“Yes ma'am", Ashley answered, flinching. I rolled my eyes at her timid behavior, wondering if she'd ever grow a back bone.

When she hadn't made any move to get out of the car, I turned to her. “That will be all Ashley, you have two weeks to find them. That's more than enough time if you ask me".

“Yes ma'am", Ashley replied, getting out of the car. I wasn't in the mood to do any more work so I decided to just drive home. I had sent my driver home for the day a while ago.

My steward came to take my bag when I had arrived home. I handed it to him then made a beeline for my room.

I had a maid prepare a warm bath for me while I took off my clothes and my makeup. When I was done, I wasted no time in getting into the tub.

I let the warm water wash away all the tension and stress of the day. I couldn't stop thinking about the waiter from the restaurant and I couldn't help feeling a little guilty, which was weird for me because I almost never felt guilty about anything.

I concluded that it was because I found the guy mildly attractive. I shrugged off the feeling and concentrated on relaxing in the water.

If I had a choice, I'd never get out. In here, I didn't have to worry about anything, not work or my parents or my image and certainly not annoying waiters.

As soon as the thought of work crossed my mind, I remembered the recipe I had to find. It wasn't even my department but it was just like my father to spring things like this on me without prior warning. I should have gotten used to it by now.

I hoped Ashley wouldn't disappoint me when it came to those chefs. I would never admit it out loud but I was counting on her and on them.

Deciding to worry about work later, I sank back into the water, letting the calming scent of lavender soothe me.
