Trapped By Billionaire

Chapter-13

When Isabella returned to her room, she was worried sick.

There was no way she could join Leonardo’s office as his secretary.

But how could she refuse Alicia? She was requesting so earnestly.

And she was bound to repay them.

If only Alessandro didn’t have a bad impression of her and didn’t think of her as a gold digger!

Isabella sighed and sat on her bed anxiously.

“Isabella, where were you? I was searching for you.” Nia entered with a tray and Isabella looked at her.

“I have made some pizza and wanted someone to share with. After all, what can be better than watching a movie while eating pizza with your friend?” Nia sat beside her and put the pizza dragging a coffee table in front of her bed.

“Come, I have prepared your favorite coffee.” Nia placed the cup, but Isabella was lost in her thought.

“What happened?” Nia asked when she noticed Isabella didn’t jump on her coffee.

“Mam Alicia wants me to join Rossi corporation as Mr. Rossi’s secretary,” Isabella said and Nia choked on her coffee.

“Leonardo Rossi?” Nia asked and Isabella nodded.

“Who else?” She shrugged and Nia patted her head and keep the coffee cup.

She turned and pull Isabella so that she was now facing Nia.

“Did you agree? He is such a hot man. I know you don’t have any chance, but at least he is eye candy. Imagine you can get to see him every day sitting beside him.” Nia said.

It was clear she has a huge crush on him, but Isabella wasn’t interested.

She can think about anyone that way, but Leonardo Rossi was off-limit.

“I don’t care how handsome he is. I just don’t want to work under Rossi. Don’t you know how Sir Alessandro hates me?” Isabella asked and Nia nodded.

It has been only a week and Isabella has faced a few different ordeals where Alessandro has expressed his dissatisfaction.

“You are right. Maybe you can talk with Sir Leo. If he denies taking you under him, there will be nothing Mrs. Rossi can do.” Nia suggested and Isabella thought this idea is better.

“I will talk with him tonight.” Isabella agreed and Nia pushed the Coffee into her hand.

“Finish it.” Isabella didn’t deny this time.

At night,

When everyone retired to their room after dinner, Isabella entered the mansion.

She knew how Leo always work on his study after dinner.

So it would be safe for her to talk with him, as she didn’t want to meet Alessandro again.

She silently walked toward his study and knocked on his door.

“Come in.” His familiar voice came from inside and she entered hesitatingly.

Leo looked up and when he noticed it was Isabella who came to meet him, he was slightly surprised.

But he masked his face before Isabella could see his expression.

“Do you need something?” Leo asked.

“I have a request,” Isabella said timidly.

“Go on,” Leo said and stood up from his chair.

Isabella was already nervous and when she noticed him approaching him, she wanted to turn around and run out of the room.

But she could only stand there and wait for the outcome.

“I…. I want you to deny Mrs. Alicia.” Isabella said, stammering.

“For what?” He asked. His eyes were wrinkled and his posture was relaxed but his aura didn’t give her any chance to escape.

Even in his casual clothes, he looked as much scary as he looks in his formal way when he finish his deals one by one and it was not Isabella’s fault, how could a timid girl like her don’t get scared of this man who looks ready to kill?

“Mam… want me to join Rossi corporation as your secretary.” She said again and Leo was now standing so close she couldn’t utter another word.

His frame was towering over her and now she could only think it was a mistake coming here.

“And you don’t want to join?” Leo asked, and it was just a simple question, but Isabella didn’t miss his threatening tone.

“No… I just… applied outside… and I can’t…. I mean…” Isabella couldn’t find a valid reason.

And how Leo was intimidating her she couldn’t think properly.

“As much as I know Rossi corporation is best in the entire Italy. Your pay will be better than anywhere else. You will get more privileges and if you join as my secretary everyone will respect you. So I don’t see any problem unless you don’t have any personal problems.” Leo moved back and turn a chair and sat in front of her.

Though she could breathe now as he gave her some space, how he was looking at her with his hawk-like gaze, she couldn’t feel free.

She didn’t have any personal problems, and she knew what she was saying was true.

But can she say I am leaving because your father can’t see me in his house, let alone in his office?

She didn’t want to be the next target of Alessandro Rossi.

Though he is not in power, she knows this man too well.

She wouldn’t take any chance to see her doom.

“And even if you have some problem, you need to tell me first what it is. Because I can’t persuade my mom unless I give her a valid reason.” Leonardo said and Isabella saw her hope shatter into the room with a deafening sound that was only heard by her.

“If you have a reason tell me and leave. Otherwise, I can do nothing here. I will wait for you the next Monday. Today is Friday and you have two days to think. Give me a reason or you can talk with my mom too. It’s your choice. I have work to do. So good night.” Leonardo said and get up from the chair and walk back to his chair behind the table ignoring her.

Isabella knew she didn’t have another option.

She can only hope some miracle happens in these two days and she could escape from this place.

Sighing worriedly, she left Leonardo’s study with a dejected face.
