Billionaire's Love Story

Chapter 6

Ace’s POV

She went out of my room after handing over the file to Anny. I tried going behind her. But Anny’s voice stopped me, “ Mr Miller you can’t go out like this.” I stopped and look at what I was wearing. And cursed loudly. But still I was going to go behind her. I can’t let her get away from me, not again. But I don’t know from where Stacey came in front of me and stood there making me stop in my tracks.

Now I was getting even more angry. I tried saying calmly, “look, get out of my way, before I do something that you won’t like and I will regret about”. She was surprised with the way I was talking to her. I didn’t like being rude or bad tempered. I always try to act patiently. But today she was testing my patience.

She didn’t move from her place and tried to touch my face. I took a step back and said with clenched jaw, “get out of here and never come in front of me. Otherwise you know my power. It will not even take a minute for me to get all of your contracts cancelled.” She stared at me in disbelief and after few seconds left the room with gritted teeth. She can’t do anything more other than that.

I came back inside the room because now it was no use to go after her and stood near window to see her getting into the car in which she came, I guess . My towel still wrapped around her soaked frame.

I sighed loudly and turned around to find Anny standing there with file in her hands. She handed the file to me and went back to do her work once again apologizing and thanking me for not firing her.

I opened the file and saw the accounts reports and some other documents I asked from Mr. Smith. And called Mike, “man we are taking over the Smith corporation. You okay with that?” I asked gazing at the name in the bottom of the accounts report and tracing it with my fingers ‘Iris Kader'.

“Yes I have no problem as we were already considering taking over this company.” He stopped and then asked, “but are you okay buddy, why are you sounding so serious. Did something happen?” “Nothing, just some stress, don’t worry.” I replied. And then disconnected the call.

I closed the file and put it on the night stand beside the bed I was sitting on and laid down on my bed facing ceiling. I closed my eyes and that intense moment I shared with Iris in bathroom played in my mind. Making my groin hard again. I cursed again, under my breath and sat down to make my way to take another shower with cold water to ease my member.

I stood under shower again letting cold water run down my body as I thought, “ you will be the death of me Iris.”

Iris' POV

I was in my cabin working on some files when Mia entered the room with one bag in her hand and a beautiful smile on her face. She is same age as me but a little taller than me. She looks gorgeous with her blonde shoulder length hair and beautiful dark eyes.

She scowled at me and I frowned thinking ‘what happened to her now’. She crossed her hands around her chest and asked me, “ “why are you still working, we will be late for the party. Now quickly put all those files away and let’s go we have to get ready. And I promise today I will definitely find a man for me and you so we can enjoy our night time.” She winked at me and I chuckle at her stupid behavior.

She became my best friend as soon as I was hired here in accounts department. We share almost everything with each other. She is just like Emily who does not need me to tell her about my concerns. She is just like a sister to me.

I put everything aside because I know I can’t win against her in an argument. She said,“ I am really excited to meet the heartthrobs of today’s party. I can’t wait to meet those Greek gods who will become our bosses.” And my smile vanished from my face. All the memories of that day came rushing to mind and goosebumps appeared on my skin thinking about my kiss with that blue eyed man.

It’s been a week since that day and I could still feel his lips on my lips and body. Whenever I close my eyes that day appears in front of my eyes, I couldn’t take him out of my mind.

I didn’t tell anything to anyone not even Mia only except Em my sister. As soon as I reached home on that day she knew something was wrong. And didn’t leave me alone until I told her.

She was excited to know that the person I kissed was my boss as she is crazy about office romances, silly I know. But she is also worried while thinking that it was with one of the biggest playboy of the nation.

It was maybe nothing to him but it has been bothering me for past one week.

Right now we were at Mia’s house getting ready for party. I was wearing black long dress which was reaching the ground. It was hugging my upper body perfectly showing my curves. It was not revealing because I don’t like wearing those. I put my long hair into a bun leaving some loose strands to fall on my face. I put on light make up.

Looking in the mirror, I was satisfied with my look. Mia was wearing dark red dress same as mine. But she went for Smokey look. Which made her look different than me and sexy as hell.

After 15 minutes drive we reached the venue. Party was held in one of ‘M&A hotels' near our company. Today they were celebrating merger of the two companies. Mr. Miller did take over the company, but he didn’t fire anyone. Just made few changes, according to him which were required for gaining profit and help making the business run smoothly.

He picked one person from each department of our company and said that they will be working from their head office in LA. He said these people will be representative for Smith corporation of each department like link between two companies. Mr. Smith still had his position of CEO of Smith Corporations but Mr. Miller and Mike Adams were co-chairman. Ace really took over the company just to help Mr. Smith.

And off course from Accounts department it was me who was picked for transfer. He said I was the one who found out those cheaters that is why he wanted me to go there. And no we haven’t met after our meeting in his room, to be precise bathroom. This is what he told Mr. Smith the next day in their meeting. He also said he was expecting me to be there and but I didn’t go. I took a leave on that day. Now I was thinking ‘what does he want from me’.

I accepted the position because it was a good opportunity and they were offering forty percent increment in the salary which I was getting here.

Mia and me reached the venue of the party and entered the hall to look everything was decorated really beautifully. Party had already started. Music was playing and people were dancing on dance floor. Food counter was filled with lots of food. And I couldn’t stop my smile when I imagined myself eating all of it. Sorry, can’t help it because I love food.

We met our colleagues from office. Everyone was looking amazing. Mr. Smith was here with his family. I maintained a decent distance with everyone like I do always.

I felt like someone was looking at me since I entered the hall. I looked around to see if I could find anyone this time remembering the time at the food truck near bus stop.

I froze, when I found him staring right at me. He was there standing near bar counter, wearing black tuxedo matching mine. He was not wearing tie and few buttons of his shirt were open to give a view of his masculine tanned chest. His hairs were jelled back perfectly. He was looking breathtakingly handsome.

He was looking directly at me with those blue eyes of his which held so much intensity in them. His stare was causing goosebumps to appear on my skin. He didn’t take his eyes away from me making my heart to hammer in my chest. I was the one who broke the eye contact which I didn’t even realized we were having.

‘why were you staring him like this Iris’ I scolded myself in my head.

I could still feel his eyes on me but I ignored it. When Mia sensed my uneasiness she asked me, “Are you okay?” I nodded. But I was feeling uncomfortable because of the people who were drinking alcohol.

I know it’s really common to drink in parties but not for me. Mia knew my problem that is why she was not leaving me alone even for a minute for which I was really grateful. Whenever any person who came to me who was smelling of alcohol I would clutch onto her hand tightly but making sure I won’t hurt her. She would also try to keep me away from them and wouldn’t let anyone approach me, so that I won’t freak out.

Suddenly I felt a presence behind me and turned around to look at the person. And there was standing the man who wouldn’t leave my mind for a second with his blue eyes stuck on me when he asked, “may I have a pleasure to dance with you?”
