Billionaire’s Most Wanted Bride

~EVA’S POV ~

” What did you tell the negotiator? This is a big deal we would have made with him but what did you say to him? His offer was low. Like what does it matter? Whether his offer is low or … all we need is to cut a deal with him. He is a first-timer here so…” Chairman Huxley said as he tossed the file in his hands back into the table.

“Sir no matter what happens, our company can’t stoop as low as begging for customers. We are currently getting more deals at the moment ” I said, My hands holding the armchair tightly. I thought I might reap the leather off completely

” Isn’t that why we should get hold of them all first? ” his eyebrows drew closer to each other as he frowned. He must be angry He really should be. I just lost a deal of a billion dollars.

” You can’t just lose a deal every time something starts to go south, Eva. The company is taking a hit for your explosive personality.

“Do you think you are not expandable dad? I grumbled.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and I softened my brow.

” I am so sorry sir. The whole thing is stressing the hell out of me.” I ran my hand through my already messy hair. But looking at the positive side, doesn’t he want to use this as an opportunity to expand more?

” I told you to take care of yourself. Take a leave until after your wedding and honeymoon are over… you are just too stubborn like your mother”. He sighed.

“Get the board ready, we will have a shareholder’s meeting.” He concluded and removed his glasses, with his white face towel, he cleaned his face. That has always been his habit.

“Alright sir” I stood up and bowed to leave but was almost stumbled on by Jane.

“Sir!” Jane chairman huxley’s secretary barged into the office. It took both chairman Hurley and me by surprise.

“Can’t it wait, Jane.? Have you lost your manners as well? ” I shouted but the words she said next shut me up.

“I’m sorry ma, I have Mr. Alexandros on the line for you” she blurted out, giving the phone to chairman hockey, she dashed out of the room as quick as she could.

Smiling heartily, he fixed the telephone on his ears. I bowed again and walked away

The feeling of anger slowly started bubbling inside me. I could feel the burning sensation.

“Don’t let anyone in, I won’t answer any more calls today okay?” I said to my Secretary once I got to my office and slammed the door in her face.

****

I checked my wall clock

Then I checked it again

then again.

It was currently 5:44 pm. In sixteen minutes I will be off. My head was really whacking hard. I have been going through the company’s file for over seven hours now.

Due to the engagement party that the press released two days ago, ‘Ab food ‘ and ‘Sandro group’ have been the trending search keys on the internet.

A lot of deals were made and a lot must be canceled within this period

I was almost dozing on my armchair but a continuous noise outside my door helped me to be fully awake.

“Let the person in!” I screamed at the door. I am losing my mind right now but seeing Brenda standing at the door forced a grin on my cheek.

“Wo… Br. e.. ndaaa” I rushed over to her and gave her a warm hug. She shoved me out of her body. Her face wasn’t smiling at all.

“You now also restrict me from entering your damn office, Eva! When did we become like this?”

“No… No… No. I’d never do that. You didn’t call before coming?” I tried to explain but she ignored me and went over to the cushion.

We sat on the office cushion. My mind is going at ease right now, maybe because of the presence of Brenda and the cool breeze from the air conditioner that was mounted just at the back of the cushion.

“I will go straight to why I’m here babe”

“Why? Are you avoiding me?” I queried amidst yearning

“If I was, I ‘do never be here. Well, I heard that your wedding date is fixed. You couldn’t even let me know. Do you know how I felt when I heard that from trumpet’s mouth?” She glanced over at me with her eyeballs furrowed.

My mouth threw wide open in surprise. If someone like Jessica her office’s trumpet has heard it, then the press must have too. My wedding is been planned behind my back while I’m here working my ass off.

“Wedding d… ate? I swear to you Brenda, you are the first person to let me know about it… Let’s say, you get informed before the bride”

That was when I realized the purpose of Mr. Alexandros earlier on. I trust my dad… He might even host a wedding for us tonight just to please his in-law

Brenda widened her eyes and leaned forward she tilted her head sideways to face me. Her knees dropped as she clasped her hands together.

“You are weird Eva, tell me, what kind of relationship do you have with Damien? You don’t love him right?.”

Even if I decide not to tell her, Sooner or later she would find out that my relationship with Damien is just a business proposal.

” You might not understand Brenda, just know that this will end one year from today. We will go our separate ways after Then” I confessed.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Just like in the movies? Did you sign a contract with him? What if you…. you..” Her mood was coy.

I Can’t guess what she wanted to say but her gesture made me burst into a fit of laughter.

” … You… You. What? Please let’s go, it’s last 6 pm already”

” I have a small hang-out with my colleagues, are you coming with me?” She asked and picked up her handbag, ready to leave

“No. Thanks… I can’t afford to reek of alcohol. I’, m a billionaire’s daughter” I boasted and flipped my hair back.

“Who cares” she snickered.
