Arrange Marriage To A Billionaire

"Your dream is going to come true."

Evelyn's P.O.V

Finally , my meeting with that Mr Come-directly-to-the-point has finished. I did't know why he changed his behavior from a gentleman to a complete asshole. But I've got to admit that he was very charming and attractive. And sexy ! My subconscious added up. "Shut up." I try to ignore that fact.

"What ! You don't agree with me ?" It argued

Anyway, I felt better now after talking to him. I was happy that he and me had the same decision, that was to reject this marriage proposal. I was relaxing on my sofa in my 4 BHK apartment in New York. Next week I have to go to Kansas to talk to my dad and then everything would be fine and normal again. I smiled to myself looking at Fluffy, my cat, sleeping on my belly. She was just like Garfield. Her color, her eyes and her fondness for food make me feel like she's the sister of Garfield.

Suddenly my phone started vibrating. Without seeing the number, I answered.

"Hello." I spoke up.

"I need to talk to you." The other person on the line replied. Huh, absolutely no manners. Wait a second, I knew that voice. I knew this voice but I couldn't remember....... Landon Mckendrick ! I mentally screamed his name.

"There's a problem. We have to talk and I'm coming at your place. Now.", Landon said. At my place.

"No, you don't have to come at my place. I'll come to you."I replied quickly.

"Too late. I'm in front of your door. Now, open the door." He ordered. He cannot come to my place like that. I meant at least not right now, I looked like the sister Albert Einstein. My hair was in a complete mess plus I was wearing a super short dress that hardly got to my mid thigh. Within a second, Landon start ringing my door bell repeatedly like a mad person.

I got up, groaning at my misfortune, I put Fluffy on the couch which was of the same color as Fluffy and went to open the door. Like usual, he was in his well tailored suit. I wonder if he slept in his top designed suits instead of pajamas or anything else suitable to go to bed.

" You look an eight year old girl with that hair style of yours." He said smiling. Color crept up on my cheeks without me realizing it 'cause I was too lost in his boyish smile. Aww... he looked so cute when he smiled. He should smile more often but again, I wonder why was he like that, so arrogant and rude ? Is he like that just to me or to everyone ?

"Miss Nolan ! Get back to earth.", Landon spoke, thrusting his hands in his pockets and getting back to the rude Landon. "Um... come inside" I offered. By the time he was entering inside I kind of brushed through my hair quickly with my fingers, trying to make it look convenient.

" This flat, did the management gifted it to you or had you looted some rich dude in the past to buy it ?" he asks, looking at me from head to toe as if he was scanning every part of me. Scanning every part of me that little phrase made my insides tingle.

"Did you come all the way here just to ask me if I had looted someone in the past Mr Mckendrick ?" I asked sarcastically, folding my arms.

" Well, no. But it's your fault. I got distracted by your new hairstyle." He says, walking toward my couch.

"Don't you dare to comment on my hairstyle, uhh no, not my hairstyle but my hair Mr Mckendrick !" I kind of threatened, walking behind him. Then I gasped when I noticed that he was going to sit on my couch. The problem was not that he was going to sit on my couch , the problem was that he was going to sit on sleeping Fluffy ! Oh no Fluffy.

" Mr Mckendrick !!" I shouted while walking quickly to my couch to save my Fluffy. Landon turned and looked at me, shocked and confused. I quickly enveloped Fluffy in my arms and caressed her a little bit. "Mr Mckendrick, you were going to sit on Fluffy" I lookes at him accusingly.

"Really ?" He asked, seeming to be disgusted by the Fluffy, " Get that thing away from me.", Landon said, pointing at poor Fluffy. " I hate cats" he continued, " come on get that filthy thing away from me."

"Excuse me Mr Mckendrick. Don't you dare to insult Fluffy like this. She is just an innocent cat and certainly well-mannered." I said, dragging the word' well-mannered' for him to understand what I actually meant. Landon continued looking at me as if I was giving him the most boring speech ever. "Fine." I took a deep breath trying to cool me down," we'll go to the garden and talk there."

-----------------------

In my garden, I put Fluffy onto my lap, somehow using her to cover part of my thighs which were on display and unfortunately, Landon seemed to notice that. Why am I feeling so self-conscious suddenly ? I looked away.

"It seems that our parents have decided to get us married at any cost." Landon crossed his arms. "Have you met my parents already ? Because it is strange how they reacted when I refused their proposal just after meeting you. As if they didn't believe that I reject a girl like you."

" Why ? What did they say ? " I remember meeting Landon's parents at my father's place. They are such warm people. Mr Martin Mckendrick was so funny and joyful. And Mrs June Mckendrick was very warm and kind to me. "They said that you are the one for me. That, you are the perfect match for me. Complete bullshit."

"Is this what you wanted to talk about ? " I asked him calmly, not wanting to argue with anymore.

" No. I wanted to tell you that your dream is going to come true." He says sarcastically.
