The Billionaire's Choice

ChapterThree

Welcome Sir! I'm glad you are here early so we can start work for the day as soon as possible(Shun smiles at Shura coming closer to her.Shura panics a bit as though she did something wrong)

Don't panic, Shura. I didn't come this early for work, but rather for you( He touches her cheek in a romantic and soft way)she moves one step back surprised.

I have had this in me for a long time to tell you. I have seen the way you put every effort, passion and love in order for this company to grow and your strategies have worked so well. You are a pretty lady: "Shura has fine hazel eyes, a carefully shaped round face, a curvy figure and thick and long afro hair."

I love you, Shura, and I want to make you my bride, Shun says.

Shura, in shock, not knowing what to say, just bends her head down saying, Sir! I'm speechless, this is..(she stamps a bit) Sir you cannot love me. Your family won't accept me. I'm just a poor girl from a poor background.

"Shun comes close to her again." No Shura, don't downlook yourself that way. You no what? Whatever you do, people will talk, so I don't see what's stopping me from loving you as long as they still talk when I marry someone else. All of your decisions should please you, it should be an enjoyable process and you should make the right decision so that you won't regret it in the end. And I know loving and making you my wife is the best decision ever. You are very honest, submissive,and down-to-earth. I love everything about you, Shura.

"Shura speaks in a soft,low voice" I love you too, Shun. I'm just uncomfortable with the reactions from my parents and from people.Shun smiles and tells her to forget about them.. It's our life not theirs, so you have nothing to worry about, says Shun.

The two unexpectedly hug each other, holding themselves very tight as though they never want to leave each other's arms.

When they both realize the time for work is almost reaching, they stop the hug. Normally, since Shura is the secretary, she often comes to work earlier than the rest of the employees. They both return to their offices after a very warm and emotional hug.

While they work the whole day at the office, the thoughts of them both fill their minds and they smile to themselves as though they have been given a very special gift.

They tried as much as possible not to interrupt their work at the company because of love issues.

Shura could not wait to reach home so that she could tell her parents the news, but she was still bothered and had mixed feelings about how her parents would receive the news.She added a little more speed to all she was doing at the Company so that before 6:00P.M she should be done.

Shura finishes her work and before she leaves for her house, she has a meetup with Shun and they discuss a little and Shun assures her that whatever her parents say he is ready for it and it won't stop their relationship. They hug each other again passionately. Shun gives Shura a forehead kiss and something else. All this happens in Shun's office and they are keeping their relationship private for now for some reasons. Thereafter, Shura starts to go to her house. On Shura's way, she talks alone to herself and the people who happen to be around her turn to look at her and they try to understand why a very gorgeous girl is talking alone, but then they choose to mind their business.

"Thank you Holy Father". I cannot believe a billionaire is in love with me!, she exclaims. Or let me just say I'm lucky to have such a fine, wealthy and healthy man that has a big heart.She hastens her footsteps, touching her hair and swinging her beautifully curved hips.

When Shura is finally home, she puts what she came back with from work at their positions, gets her bath and starts eating at the dining table with her parents with a mixed feeling about how to start telling her parents about her relationship. She then doubts if it's the right thing to do by telling them or waiting for the right time.But an inner voice in her says there is no right time other than now. She had mixed feelings of excitement, doubt and fear about whether or not she should tell them.

There is something I would like us to talk about if you both permit me( She says to her parents reluctantly)

What is that about my Princess? her Father asked.

What is it about Baby? Her Mother follows.

What is your view about wealthy people?((Shura asked)

My Princess, I know some people may make wealthy people look wicked, inhumane and tyrannical, but I know that there are still very kind wealthy people, who have a big heart and who see everyone as equal, not above the other person. Same thing as they call poor people low class and low life, but we have very outstanding qualities and we are noble as well.Her Mother nods her head in agreement to what her husband is saying.

Why the question baby? Her Mother asks curiously.

Mother,Father I asked that question because I'm in a relationship with my billionaire boss, Shun Millan Carter. She speaks, counting her words, paying close attention to her parents' reaction.

Her Mother slowly gets up from her chair, looking at Shura and comes close to her, shifting her face to look her in the eyes.

What did you say, Baby?Her Mother asked her questions again.

Mother, I love Shun Millan Carter and he loves and adores me as well.

Princess! her Father calls in an authoritative voice.

He gives her a smile that seems not to be genuine and asks. Are you sure about this Mama?I don't want any man to treat my daughter like trash just because she was born into a poor family. Are you sure he really adores and loves you like you claim?

She breathes in and out, saying Yes, Father he does.

Her Mother asks her, Baby, don't you think you are making a mistake here or have you had a second thought about the whole issue?

Yes Mother, I have and I have concluded that Shun is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Her Mother smiles and says" Child, if that's who you love, then who am I to stop the relationship?But always remember to know your value and be at your best behavior. Her Mother kisses her forehead and stops talking,gets back to her seat and continues eating.

Her Father was silent for a long time and the only noise they could hear was the sound of the food they were chewing. Shura became sweaty in her palms and was worried her father wouldn't accept her to be in a relationship with Shun.

Thereafter, her father broke the silence by saying, Shura," you are such a beautiful,well behaved and outstanding woman and I would never want you to end up with someone who brutalizes you the worst would be married to someone you don't love. So…. Her heart started to beat too fast about her Father's conclusion.

So I will let you date him.

Shura screams, hugging each parent, saying thank you for accepting me to be in a relationship with Shun.She then says she brought something sent by her lover(Shun) to them.She hurriedly goes to the room and removes a classy, luxurious wine from her brown leather bag decorated with a black design.

This is for you two: Father, Mother, Shura half fills the three wine glasses that were present on the table,gives her parents one glass each and they all toast in happiness,unity and love. And not long after, Shura gets a call from an unknown number.
