Episode 8 - Hard choice /Noah's POV/ "Hello Sir", my Secretary greeted from the other line of the call. "Speak," I ordered, giving a distance to Isabelle with hands crossed on my chest. "The shareholders call for an urgent meeting to choose the CEO for the company". He relayed sighing after dropping the shocking news. "What is their freaking problem, we proposed to them to give us time to sort things out". I yelled, dragging my feet along the room. "I don't know anything about it Sir, but we have been trying to find out what prompted this out of nowhere, Sir". He said, the frustration in his voice evident. "I will be coming right away," I disclosed, my countenance hardened on ending the call which made me bow my fists in a way that gave a creak and a reddish liquid oozed out of my hands.I could notice from the corner of my eyes as Isabelle shrieked palming her mouth with tears shimmering in her eyes. "I will have my bodyguard drop you off at home, I have
“Bella, what is taking you so long? You were meant to be here thirty minutes ago.” Sarah said practically screaming over the phone. “I know, I know I’m already on my way, just give me another thirty minutes. I promise I will be there”. I said, but actually I had just worn my underwear, and I was shuffling around my flat trying to get my things in order. “You had better get here by the that time, or you won’t get the chance to sell your paintings” “Alright, I’m coming and thank you, I love you”. At this point, I had worn my clothes and was at the dressing table doing a little makeup to not look like I had just woken up “OK but be quick, bye” she responded and hung up the call “I don’t know how I was going to get to the art gallery in time to meet the art curator that wanted to enhance my career. Being an artist is not the easiest profession, people may think it’s just about putting some colours on a canvas and following your inspiration. What if you don’t have inspiration at th
After watching her walk off and accepting my fate, I turned around facing the Mr. Billionaire,“OK, so my friend just ditched me, well I’m not starving, so you can tell” my tummy decided this was the right time to betrayal by really loud grumble that got passer bys looking at me weirdly.He raised a brow at me in slight amusement as I still tried being alone with him, I could feel my cheeks becoming warm because of embarrassment.“Your tummy doesn’t seem to agree with you now those it, he said with a smug look“It normally does,” I mumbled, looking at my shoes“why don’t we go to the café down the street and talk about what do think, I have something I want to talk to you about, and I am also hungry too”“What do you want to tell me? When we just met a while ago“You really intrigue me. Most people would love to get, even if it’s a glimpse of me and here I am offering you a whole meal and have rejected meaning twice in the last five minutes“Do I look like most people to you?“Apparen
“I think what If one of us gets attached then what are we going to do, everything is going to go haywire from there”“Well I won’t be getting attached, but I don’t know about you, I can be arrestable he stated smirking. But if that does happen then one has to tell the other, and we handle it together”“OK, so I ask again, are you up for it?“No, sorry, I can’t do it:”“What? Why?”“Because I don’t need this drama that rich people have in their lives, I managed to escape it once will not be going back there“what?, realizing I have said too much, “that not important, all you need to know is that I can’t do it. We will probably get caught before we get to the altar, I talk a lot when I am under pressure.“OK, why don’t think about and tell me your decision in three days”“Alright” I was about to get up when he stopped me.“I’m yet to know your name.” he said curiously.“Oh, I almost forgot. My name’s Isabella Summers.” I said and finally stood up, “I need to get going.”“Wait”, he stopp
I opened my eyes and noticed I wasn’t in my flat, rushing to runaway I tripped over a foot then I noticed Noah seating beside the bed and my attempt to run woke him up“Oh, you’re awake, what are you doing in the fall”“Nothing, I just need water”“well you should have asked, and I will get that for you, get back on the bed you shouldn’t be moving too much since you just woke up” he helped me back to the bed and went to get me water.“Here drink it " he says pushing the cup towards me“What happened after I fell unconscious yesterday?”“That wasn’t yesterday, that was two days ago.“What? Two days, how?“yes, after you lost consciousness I tried to wake you up, but you started having panic attacks, so I had to call my family doctor to check on you, and he said it didn’t seem as if it was your first panic attack. something must have triggered it to happen.“What is causing your attacks?” he questions “None of your business" I snapped at him“It is my business because we are faking a r
Strange experience~Isabelle~The bead of sweat trickled down my forehead, my heart was pounding fiercely in my chest. My hand was trembling, I paced down frantically looking everywhere in search of the beast. I had difficulty swallowing, a large lump formed in my mouth, bile rose in my throat and I felt nauseous. I stood up with my hands shaking, dropping the snacks on my lap. I can't believe he found me after all this while, all those years I have been hiding and running away from him hoping he won't find me. I knew I got myself in trouble the moment I encountered Noah and had to be the center of attention everywhere, not the quiet girl who detested attention. I bumped into a hard chest, hissing and grimacing at the pain not caring to look up. I rushed but I was jerked by a muscular hand which made me wince in pain. "What the hell is wrong with you". The voice yelled at me, I couldn't process the face as it was blurry, and my head was screaming for me to run.Trying
Fire~Isabelle's POV~ We took a slow but steady step to the entrance of the movie room. I looked over at Noah's expressionless cold face yet handsome. "Where are we going?" I asked, breaking the tension that was between us, probably lost in our thoughts. The movie entails more of my encounter with Noah showing up at my weakest point and struggle. I thought I had lost the chance to become popular with my career but here I met the handsome Greek God CEO coming to my aid like a knight in shining armour.The movie was a kdrama titled My Demon though we didn't get to watch the movie finish since it was already late. I didn't think I would focus on the movie more to the extent of being stuck in my seat not ready to go as they disclosed the end of the movie's day. "Hey, you are zoning out again". Noah called out interrupting me from my reverie. "Oooh, sorry about that" I apologized glancing at him. "Are you still afraid?" He questioned with a creased brow clenching
