Miss Ivy and the Billionaire.

The first meeting.

“Hey Vince, will you hold on for a while, I am heading outside to take a drag or two.” She said.

“Just take your time, I can handle it for a while, the wee hours have passed.” Vince was her bar assistant.

She walked out from behind the bar counter with a packet of cigarette on one hand and lighter on the other hand, causing Vince to smirk. `She says a drag or two yet she carried a whole packet, who really doesn't know her?ʼhe thought.

The M&M Club is the biggest and most famous club in the city, but no one knows who owns it. People say it is a group of people who came together to start the club but it is just a rumor. She walked to the parking lot heading towards her smoking baze when she heard a voice of a woman causing her footsteps to slow down. It's not like she likes eavesdropping, it's just that the conversation seemed more pleasing to the ear.

“Jake, can't we just try and if you still feel like you don't like me, I will leave.” came the girl's voice. A few minutes had passed and there was no reply, one could think she was talking to herself . “Conor can you please help me convince him?I love him so much!” Still there was no reply. She sounded like she was frustrated.

If there were people she hate a lot, then it was this desperate woman, why would a woman beg a man that much!? She wondered, taking a drag from the lit cigarette, for a moment, she forgot she was hiding until she heard a dog barking beside her. Her heart started pounding faster than its normal pace, she started chasing the dog away, waving her hands in the air and trying not to make a sound, because the last thing she wanted was to be noticed. The dog wouldn't move, it just stood there and continued to bark while staring at her as if she was a prey. She badly wanted to run but she couldn't,she has never been a fun of dogs since she was young.

“Come out!” A low and deep commanding male voice came from the other side which startled her. She pretended she did not hear it until she heard the man speak again, “Do you want me to order the dog to bring you out?”

That was the last thing she wanted, she quickly stood up and walked towards the voice,smiling sheepishly like someone who was caught in the act. She saw a girl standing in front of a man with tears in her eyes, the man seemed to be Jake, but looking around, there were around four handsome men and the fifth one was seated at the drivers sit behind him. The rest were standing on each side of the car, some watching the girl make a fool of herself and others busy on their phone.

“Hey b***h! Were you eavesdropping at our conversation?” The girl who was crying a while ago, was now looking at her in disgust. As if realizing something she widened her big eyes and sighed sarcastically, “aren't you that bartender who splashed red wine on my face yesterday!?”She read the name tag on her chest, “Mimi..!?”She sneered, “what kind of a stupid and bitchy name is that?”

All this while, Mimi was just staring at her, a while ago, she was pitying her, but now, she feels like the girl deserves it. Did she intend to throw the anger of rejection at her!? She sneered inwardly but kept a calm face on the outside,this is always the best way to irritate people like her and it worked.

“Hey slut, i am talking to you, do you know who I am!? She shouted.

Mimi rubbed her ears irritatedly, and then asked unhurriedly, “who are you?”

Cough, cough, cough, someone standing at the left side of the Ferrari sports car coughed with an exaggeration. The girl walked towards Mimi in quick steps, Mimi realised what she wanted to do and before the slap could land on her beautiful face, she squatted down covering her head, “do you want to hit me because I don't know who you are.., is it a crime?”

The slap she was waiting for did not land on her, instead she heard a male voice, “Janet, go back to your house, I can't give you whatever you are asking for...”

“Pfft!” Mimi couldn't hold back her laughter, that is something she had never trained herself to do. She was still squatting on the ground, and after realizing what she had done, she looked up to find everyone staring at her, except the one who had been concentrating on his phone for a while now. “I am really sorry, I just remembered something funny and I couldn't hold it back, ” she quickly apologized in the middle of laughter. She also had no idea why she was laughing that much, was the joint she smoked a while ago started to become active?

Actually the cigars she take are not made of tobacco but m*******a, she likes taking it away from work to avoid being noticed because it's risky when someone knows especially after being exposed. If one looked carefully her eye color had turned red already and Jake had already noticed.

As everyone was still standing there staring at her with expressionless faces, a man dressed in dark suit came over and took the so called Janet away. She started cursing and swearing, most of all, telling Jake that she will not give up on him. The voice faded until it could no longer be heard.

“Woman, why were you eavesdropping?”The man asked.

“I don't know,”Mimi replied, shrugging of her shoulders as if she really had no idea why she was eavesdropping.

Jake furrowed his eyebrows for the first time, he couldn't help it, “what do you mean?”

“I mean, I don't need a reason to eavesdrop, I just felt like doing it and I did it!” she answered as innocent as ever.

Jake and the others were speechless, who in their right mind would do something just because they felt like doing it!? They all had that question in their head.

“Woman...” He was cut off before he could even speak.

“Bess, here you are, I have been looking everywhere for you.” Came a male voice.

Mimi turned towards the familiar voice with a smile, “Bee, I came out to take a drag and met this band out here.”

Jake's expressionless face changed to an angry one, everyone noticed including Bee, but Mimi did not take it much seriously.Before she could speak further Bee cut her off.

“My group wants one of your wicked cocktails that you promised them.”he said.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Lets go.” They turned and left, failing to notice the hot gazes at their backs.

Bee had not recognize the man who was staring at the phone all that time, but the man recognized him, he couldn't forget that handsome and beautiful face of his since the day Bee appeared in his car. He had been hoping to meet him again, though it took long, but at last he saw him.

He smiled looking back at his phone that showed a new text message saying, `sir we still can't locate the person.'

He tapped the reply button,' Forget it, I found him.'after hitting send he looked at the men around, “Jake, are we leaving or not.”

Without answering him, he walked towards the car, opened the door and got in. The rest took it as a cue and drove off to their different destinations.
