The Billionaire's Secret

Mia's Pov Today is a very big day for me, I have a charity event gala to attend plus my artworks will be on display. I could hear the voices of people in the background and it sounded like a whole lot of people were present at the event and patiently waiting for it to begin. Holding up a very big smile on my faceI hurriedly walked down the stairs because I didn't want to be late to the auction. Holding a large frame in my hands, in a hurry to put my piece on exhibition I mistakenly kicked one foot infront of the other and I tripped down the stairs watching my piece of art fly in mid air. Before it could reach the ground I noticed a fine man get a hold of it. I stared at him with lust in my eyes. I was immediately swept away by his masculinity his lips were full and his beards well trimmed I immediately began to imagine our lips locking together. He looked very poised and intelligent with sophistication in the air. He grabbed onto my artwork before it could reach the floor and probably shatter into pieces. He quickly placed my artwork and his glass of wine on a nearby stool and he walked up to me and stretched out his hand for me to grab onto. Once our hands touched I felt a volt of electricity bolt down my spine. "I hope you didn't get hurt?" He said to me in a soothing baritone voice. His hands were soft and smooth and cold. His fragrance, like the scent of chocolate scented candles. I was lost in his eyes and distracted by his aura. "Are you alright?" He asked again. "Yeah I'm fine, thank you" I chuckled while getting up and dusting my simple floral patterned dress."thank you so much". "Err I'm Alex. what's yo..." "Sorry I need to go put this on exhibition at the auction downstairs" I cut him short because I was in a hurry. I hurriedly picked up the artwork and ran towards the main hall where the auction for the Charity event was going on. People were already gathered and had already started bidding on the works on display. I carefully placed my artwork on the easel stand. And stood right beside it. It was finally it was my turn. The MC of the event looking at a sheet of paper he had in his hands he started "here we have exhibition 5! It portrays a deep meaning of love showing off the relationship between a mother and her child!!, this one's going for... $800dollars ..$800 dollars anyone?" Some people in the crowd began to raise their hands up and they began to bid from $800 dollars to $2,100 dollars. I was super excited. "$2,100 dollars?? Going! Going!!" Immediately a voice in the crowd said in a louder voice "$2500 dollars!" Everybody in the crowd began to murmur. $2500 dollars was quite a lot of money. A huge sum. I was also suprised. I looked through the crowd to see who the high bidder was. It turned out to be the man who helped me at the staircase case when I fell earlier today. "Wow! wow!! wow!!! And it's going for 2,500dollars.. going! Going!! And it's sold!!!" The crowd cheered and gave scattered claps. I bowed with joy and excitement in my heart. This Charity event was a big success. Later on the program was over and people started to leave. While me and my fellow artists who's artworks were on exhibition stayed back to arrange and keep safely our art works. Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Hi? It's me again, I loved your artwork. It was very beautiful and inspiring. You did a great job" he gave off a smile. "Owh thank you so much. And also thank you for your bid. It will definitely go along way to help and thank you again for the save earlier I really appreciate that you helped me." I chuckled with a big smile on my face. I noticed he was starring at me with a smirk on his face. He starred at me for a few seconds and then said "you have such a charming smile. You're beautiful" "Thank you sir" I responded. "Oh no! It's Alex. You can call me Alex" he said starring at me. He brought his hand out of his pocket expecting a handshake. "I'm Mia" I said with a smile while shaking hands with him. "So Mia I think we should go out to celebrate your big win. Your artwork was the highest selling and it's definitely worth celebrating. What do you say?". I thought to myself, was he indirectly asking me out on a date?. I couldn't refuse him. He was giving off a charismatic aura. "Yeah sure let me just clean this up and then we can go. Give me a minute". While I was arranging the pieces he said "I can help you with that". "Oh no don't worry I can do it". "Let me help, he insisted" while Starring deep into my eyes. Few minutes later we were done and we were outside the venue. He horridly walked towards a very beautiful car that looked like a Mercedes Benz AMG GT 4 door coupe. He walked towards the passenger's seat and opened the door for me. "Thank you" Deep down! I was marveled at the car and everything. He seemed to be a billionaire or something. I got in and he shut the door while I was inside I looked behind the car and at the dashboard admiring every single piece of it. The door at the driver's seat opened and he got in. Turning the car. He began to drive. I just sat there starring outsude through the windscreen. We got to a nearby Italian restaurant downtown and we already placed our orders. While we were waiting for our orders to come He started "So tell me, for how long have you been painting?" He asked. I assumed he just wanted to get information from me. "Owh since I graduated college. Although I didn't study art in school it's more like a talent. It's something I love doing." "Mmm. That's very interesting." He nodded his head "I admire your passion for painting. So what did you study in college?" "Owh this is going to sound clichè and everything but I actually studied law" I gave off a chuckle. Using my hands to cover the front of my lips. "Law?!" He was stunned. "Okay it's not a bad idea to finally major in what you live doing and still making money at the same time." "Thank you!" With a smile on my face. Then I asked "what about you. What do you do?" "Owh I specialize I'm an art consultant I advice clients on building and managing their art collections using expertise to make savvy investments and also an art conservator. An expert in art restoration and conservation dedicated to protecting and preserving artworks for future generations. "That is os amazing!! Honestly. So this means you're an art lover too!, that's very lovely honestly." I was impressed. "So do you paint?" "Well I do but for like personal pleasure not commercially or something like that". "That's so amazing". Soon enough the check arrived. As Alex reached for it, my hand accidentally touched his. Sparking a jolt of electricity that non of them ignored. "I quickly withdrew my hand and starred directly at my food. I felt like it was so obvious that my face was already pure read from the excitement rushing through my nerves. I noticed the little smile he had on his face. Later on after he handled the bill and everything we went straight to the car and talked a bit while he drove me home. Few minutes later we got to my stop. "I'll get down here". His car parked in front of the entrance of my apartment. "Thank you so much for tonight, you made my evening. Literally". "Owh sure no problem. A talented woman like you deserves it. So when will I see you again?" He asked with a charming smile on his face. "Err I'm not sure but..." I stretched out my hand so he could give me his phone. "Here's...my...number..." While dialing the number. "Call me. Maybe". "Oh I'll definitely call". He chuckled. I got out of the car closing the door carefully then I walked in to my apartment. Then he drove off immediately. I heard a strange noise across the road like something was hiding in the bushes. I stepped in closer to check if I could see anything but there was nothing there I didn't really read meaning to any of that I just walked into my building with a very big smile on my face and joy in my heart. I was very happy "I think I have just met one of the most sweetest man on earth"
