A secret self made billionaire

Del Designs

Bunch of papers were piled here and there. Pencils, sketch pens, colour pencils were scattered all around the table. Hair bunned with a pencil, a girl was attentively designing a wedding gown. A genuine smile formed on her lips looking at the complete design.

Nathan barged into the room and looked at the messy place. He frowned and yelled, " What have you done?!! God, you didn't grow up yet."

She came back from her imagination with his yelling sound. She kept the paper on the table and asked made a poker face," What!!! No one can see my happiness. I was so happy with the design and you ruined it."

"Too much sarcasm.Why were you happy? It is not like you are going to wear this on your wedding day." Nathan raised and eyebrow. 

Wedding! 

There was a pang in her heart as if it started to bleed.

She looked at the gown carefully. The happy emotions behind smile some times ago turned into sour feelings. Every girl has some dreams for the wedding day. She had it too. But it was nothing more than a deal of a son with his father. And she was the product of the deal. No respect, no emotion. She was just a piece of experiment, just a victim of two powerful and domineering person's stubbornness. After getting married for two years, she even never met her husband. Maybe he even forgot about her. But where did she care? She never tried to contact him, neither she asked for his name. But being a victim was not actually true, she also had her reasons. 

Nathan sensed some traces of sorrow in her eyes. He cleared his throat, " Where are you lost now? Clean the place immediately. "

She came back to the earth and looked at him with hands locked in her chest, " Come on! I am the CEO here." 

"And Who is gonna believe you? You never showed up or publicised your identity. You always make me the victim of business dealings" He sighed. This girl always gives him a hard time. Though he was just a vice president in the company, he used to attend all the ceremonies on behalf of her. Even not every the board members knew about her. 

"But now I am helping you, right? You didn't even find a professional designer for such a big event. Now I needed to design. It was a good thing I resigned from the previous job or else I would not be able to help."

Del designs is one of the rising stars in designing world. It has just made a permanent place in the business world within just one and half years. Its products had been bestseller of the last summer, spring and winter. Now they had a big upcoming fashion show on wedding theme. But their designers were having so much problems to work. Since there was a little time left, she thought to design by herself. Once she designed just for fun, but now it became necessity. 

"Your company. You need to make it run, right?" Nathan always likes to cross her words.

"And it was your job to make it happen. Never want to be fired, right?" But she never let him win.

"By the way, since you resigned, don't join other one. Please, the company needs you now." He pleaded.

"This is my company, brother Nathan. I know what it needs. But I don't think it's right time to work from the front line. Everyone knows me as a simple ordinary girl. I have reasons to pretend like that. And maybe, a navy blue porsche 911 can't change my simple life." She smiled a little. 

"But a CEO is working for another CEO. Be careful. Don't get accused of corruption. " He warned.

" I don't go to fashion companies though. " She smirked. 

"Who knows? Many CEO has multiple businesses. Unlike you, they hanker after money." He seriously had a point.

"So you don't want me to work? What will I eat if I don't manage a job?" She blinked her eyes and tried to surpass her smile.

Nathan knew it was a hopeless trial to stop her from finding jobs. He sighed and asked," Well designs completed? I need to hand them to the experts." He took all the shattered designs.

" Leave the last one." She demanded. She didn't want that to present for the fashion show. 

"But that's the best." He crossed it again. That would be the best to stop the show.

"I don't need billions of money. Leave it, that's for someone else." She made a poker face.

Nathan looked at her eyes. It contained so much emotions. He was with her from the very beginning of the company. He saw her to struggle and to be successful.But he never knew anything about her private life or past. He was like her guardian but only in the company. Outside the company she was something else. A simple girl with a decent job and a normal life. Still surrounded with secrets. He knew if she wanted it for someone special, she won't present it for the event. He shook his head and left it on her table. 

After Nathan left, she cleaned up the place within a short time like there was nothing happened. No one can assume there was a tsunami just now. She head downed on the desk and sighed deeply. 

Suddenly a notification popped up.

"Aaaaaaa!!! Run Ade run." She took the design, put it in her bag and started to storm out of the office. 

Nathan noticed her rush and looked questioningly.

" I am gonna be late." She runs quite fast.

Nathan shouted from behind, " For what?"

" I have an interview today." She shouted back before taking the elevator. 

"Damn! This girl managed to get an interview within a short time. What a pieceof work she is!" Nathan muttered with sarcasm.

Well, the life of the secret self made billionaire, Adele Wilson was seriously in rush.
