Hidden Billionaire

Meeting

"Here," David handed Isabella a cold bottle of water. "Thank you," she opened it and took a sip before dropping the bottle.

"Are you alright? Are you sure you are not hurt?" David asked, checking her body for bruises.

"No, I am fine." She raised her head with a smile. "I am alright thanks to you."

David sighed and took a seat beside her, "What were you thinking? You are an adult for Pete's sake you should have watched where you were going. What if the car had hit you? What would I have done?"

"Are you mad at me?" Isabella said, but in a low tone, David scoffed at her question.

"I am mad at myself," he replied and Isabella smiled. "For not realizing I had brought a baby out."

"A baby?" Isabella gasped. "Yes, only a baby does not check her environment before walking around," his voice was cool but the anger in it could not be missed either.

Isabella only stared at him with a smile. That was the first time someone would be mad that she was not safe.

"I am sorry," she muttered with her head bowed. David glanced at her with a smile.

"I will drop you off," He stood up while she started with her lips slowly parted. Is he being serious? Why is he acting like an overprotective boyfriend?

Though it is slightly weird, it looks cool to Isabella. It was nice to know the guy she has a crush on is interested in her too.

"You don't have to, I can get home by myself," She tried to convince him., but it was not working. She gave up when it seemed impossible.

It was a relief she moved into a rented apartment, she already had everything set just in case a situation like this occurred.

"Sadly, I wasted my ice cream," Isabella pouted sadly. David pat her hair like he did earlier.

"I will get you another one the next time we come here." Did he just say Next Time?

Does that mean there will be a next time?

"I'm happy," Isabella giggled. "Why?" David inquired.

"I'm just happy," she replied. David sighed as he watched her dance forward, "Does having a near-death experience make people happy?" He wondered.

"I will start my work in the next two days, I can't wait to learn new things," Isabella turned to look at him and he simply nodded.

For some reason he is excited to see her every day, he is never going to get tired of seeing her cute little face.

* Somewhere in Washington*

After a few rounds of s*x Charlotte could be seen trying to get some sleep on the bed while Jacob sat at the edge scrolling through his phone.

He looked disturbed as he stared intently at something, he sighed and turned to Charlotte who slept like a princess.

The sight annoyed him, can she try to make herself useful just for a moment?

"Charlotte," he called climbing the bed. "Get up."

"What?" Sleepy Charlotte mumbled trying to keep her lids apart so she could see clearly.

"Why do you look disturbed?" She sat up not failing to notice his expression. He roughed his hair sitting beside her.

"I am about to lose billions," he said. "How?" was all that came out of Charlotte's mouth, It's not like she was ready to help him but she needed to know what her fate was with him.

He went on to explain how he made a deal with her German, he was to give him forty percent of the profit made from the stock sold while the man funded fifty percent of the product.

It was a harmless deal to him since it was going to profit him in many ways, The guy is just some mafia don trying to look normal while he runs his business in America, but Jacob is about to lose his head to him.

"For reasons unknown our stuck plummeted, I can't get the money, and if I don't get the money to him in two weeks. He's going to take my head," Panic Jacob lamented.

"Has your secretary been fooling around again?" Charlotte said searching his eyes for an ounce of distrust.

He has never discussed his job with her, even while he was fooling around with Isabela she would try to get information out of him by telling him all about Isabella's company but nothing changed. He was still discreet about his company.

"No, I doubt it would be him," he shook his head in disagreement.

"Who could it be then? I doubt you will discuss important work issues with anyone but him."

"But why will he do that?" Jacob wondered. "I don't know," Isabella shrugged in

response.

*Chicago*

Isabella stood in front of her phone which was placed on her dressing table, "How do I look?"

"Perfect," Kim replied, she was on a video call with her. It is Isabella's first day as an employee, She is excited and she can't let her excitement ruin things.

She is dressed in a simple flowery gown with no makeup and her hair let down, her sandals look cheap too. She is not trying to be wretched but not too expensive either.

"What color of bag do you think will go with this?" Isabella picked up her phone and switched the camera.

She showed Kin the bags she got. "That one, the brown it matched with your sandals."

"Thanks," Isabella picked up the bag and switched the camera back to the face camera.

"I will call you when I return, be sure to report all that happens to me and if that jackass drops by again let me know," she ordered as she walked out of her tiny room to the little living room.

"Have fun," Kim blew her a kiss before ending the video call.

"You can do this Isabella," she smiled and opened the door, She hailed a taxi and in no time she was at the gallery.

The gallery was empty when she walked in, so she went into his office but he was not there so she went into his painting room.

"Good morning," she greeted with a smile that disappeared at the view that welcomed her.
