Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 32. He Actually Wasn't Bad Company
Denise felt like her heart had jumped out of her chest. No, it literally did. What was this? Didn't Alex say that it would just be the two of them? So, what was this? What was he doing here of all places?She didn't think that she would have to go through this again. Not that she hated it, no. In fact, she really liked it. What she didn't like was making a fool of herself the way she did last time by fainting.There, standing at the door and smiling at them, was Ansel. Yes you heard that right. The same Ansel who never smiled. The iceberg of Xela, was standing there smiling at them like it was nothing but natural for him to be there. He didn't even seem like he was surprised that they were there at all."Hey you two," he began and up-to now, Denise was just staring at him hoping that he was just anapparition. But did apparitions talk or smile at people?"Hopes you dont mind my coming here unannounced. I was having a meeting here in my office and when I was leaving, Xavier told me tha
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 33. Some Chances Should Be Taken When They Present Themselves
They talked and laughed and didn't actually notice that time was moving. It was much, much later when the waiter came to pick the used plates that they realized that they had been talking and laughing like old pals for almost two hours.Denise was actually surprised that she could hold her own for that long when faced with an enigma like Ansel. She also realised that he was an easy going man and she shouldn't have feared him as much.Ansel, on the other hand, was on cloud nine. He was ecstatic. Who would have told him that his crush was that fun to be with. They were like two sides of the same coin. All Ansel knew was the high class stuff, business and closing deals but Denise knew the street life. She had been there and she knew more about the life of the poor and the middle class than Ansel did. They thus talked about all this and that without any care in the world but the downside came when Ansel asked her about her family. This was a topic she had never talked about with or to an
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 34. Marry Me?
In the nineteen years of her life, Denise had been through hell and back. She had literally gone through the valley of death and had emerged on the other side victorious and she did because from an early age, she learnt that the only person she could trust was herself and herself alone.That was why she didn't have any friends. If even the people she called her own family didn't want her, what of strangers? Thus, she had built these huge walls around herself and hadn't found anyone who could break them or to put it rightly, she had never let anyone near her. She had barricaded herself and trust wasn't something she gave readily.She had also learnt, from an early age, that tears didn't solve anything. They only made one look weaker than they already were and gave people reason to want to hurt and bulky her more.And there is nothing bad in this world the enemy knowing that they affect you with their actions. There are some psychopathic and sadistic people in the world who derive plea
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 35. She Didn't Want To Hurt Him
Denise sat there for a while frozen as if she was suspended in time. Her heart was beating a thousand beats a minute. If body organs could talk, her heart, her lungs and her small intestines would have talked of how nervous she was at that moment. She felt the proverbial butterflies in her stomach. If Dwayne wanted her dead, he had succeeded because if she didn't calm down and quickly, she would get a heart attack. She could feel the palpitations coming. "l am definitely hallucinating! That's it. I must be sick. Or have I been overworking myself? That must be it." Denise thought to herself as she sat there trying to control her breathing and staring at Ansel like a ghost.She thought she had heard him wrong. She must have. He couldn't have been serious, could he? She stood wanting some fresh air to help her think and when Ansel saw that, he felt his heart miss a beat. Did she want to leave without saying anything? Was he too direct and he frightened her?He couldn't let her just l
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 36. Love Was Really a Strange Feeling
"Do not be afraid of love or the course it will take. There is no certainty in life. Choose love first and choose love last and it will give you more than you ever give it." – Donna Goddard, Waldmeer.What Denise was experiencing right then was the fear of uncertainty. She knew that she was a nobody (not that she had ever let that stop her from wanting to become somebody) and she couldn't be with Ansel.There were a lot of 'ifs' and'what ifs'. This fear waswhat was making her want to refuse Ansel's proposal as early as now before she got in too deep.What she didn't realise was the fact that, the fact that she didn't want to disappoint Ansel by marrying him and then making him find out that she was a disappointment and she wasn't what he was looking for in a wife, all meant one thing: she was head over heels for him already and he meant the world to her. But being the naive girl she was having in mind that she had never been in a relationship nor fallen in love before, there was no
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 37. For Now, She Had An Elephant To Dissect
As is norm with all people, fear of losing is innate. No one loves losing and hope helps one deal with such fear. It is said that hope is the last thing we lose in anysituation. Thus, Ansel was hopeful that he had convinced Denise to agree to his proposal and he had this mininised his fear of rejection by hoping that she was in. He was hopeful that all would go well.After finishing his long speech, he stood there looking at her withva hopeful expression and his eyes fixated on her. She also looked at him wondering if he was the one who had said that much. Like everyone in Xela, she also had the same view about Ansel. The reason why he had been nicknamed the lceberg of Xera was not only because of his cold demeanor but also because of the fact that he rarely talked. Even when he was having a proper conversation with anyone, he would only give one word perfunctory answers or short commands. He thus gave people people this picture and impression that he never talked. There was in fa
Boss Lady and Her Billionaire Knight 38. She Would Procrastinate Till She Was Ready
When someone has a happy thing going on, days seem to fly and the opposite is true too. When there is something troubling someone and they want days to just get a move on, they drag themselves like an old grandma going to the market or just walking her tired bones.For these two, it was really confusing which one and one didn't even know which to apply to who. For Denise, she wanted days to drag themselves so that she could have enough time to think and avoid seeing Ansel but time just didn't listen to her. One time, she was in the hotel room with Ansel when he confessed and then boom! Three days were gone and she knew Ansel was waiting for her answer.On the other hand, the same three days seemed to be dragging themselves without an end for Ansel. He wished that he was a god and had powers, or a cultivator and had powers to manipulate space and time. Three days would just be done in a blink because he would have done his magic and she would be here telling him her answer. He waited

The following morning, Denise woke up naturally and she felt refreshed. She realized that all she needed was a good night's sleep but the downside was that all the dreams she had had that night were all about Ansel.

The wedding happened on a beautiful big terrace of the biggest hotel in Xela and it was decorated beautifully and they had more than a thousand guests but Denise didn't know any of them.Her family wasn't there but she didn't expect them to be because in her memories, she hadn't invited them. She didn't want to invite them because she had an inkling that Georgina would destroy her wedding.
