70. Don't call it a date
Last Updated:
2025-01-18 06:01:34The next week at the office was the same drill, and before I knew it, it was the weekend.
I couldn't believe I lasted an entire week here, from having no idea how I was doing to gaining some foundation somehow. Emma was patient with me as I got the basics right and I eventually started working by myself, rarely needing her help.
Through the week, Emma and I developed a great bond. She was proving to be my kind of a person, and since she wasn’t very close to any of her other colleagues, she was soon to accept me into her life too. Although she was technically my senior, she never made me feel that way, nor did she treat me like I was below her in rank. Because of this, we instantly clicked.
Patrick was surprised with us too. He noticed that we were hav

Much to my dismay, Emma was called for a series of meetings right after her lunch with the boss, so I couldn’t catch up with her later. Right when she got done, Patrick called me into his cabin for some work which lasted for almost half an hour. By the time I returned, Emma had already left.‘Sorry that I had to leave. I was too tired. I’ll fill you in about everything on Monday.’ - Emma sent a message.I smiled before typing her a response. ‘Sure thing! Have a great weekend!’I was waiting in the lobby of the building after having a great day at work. Enzo texted me in the evening that we would be done with work at the same time, so we could travel together today. As promised, Enzo arrived at six ‘o clock, looking rather energetic at the end of the day. “Someone had an easy day at work.” I said as he came to stand beside me. He frowned, “You didn’t?” “I’m afraid not.” I said as we headed outside. We noticed that Enzo’s car was already waiting for us. Once we got into the back s

“Ready?” He asked once he was done taking my appearance in. I nodded, slightly underwhelmed with his response. I was taken aback with my thoughts. Was I disappointed? But why? Was I looking for a compliment from him? That’s so strange!Brushing the thoughts away, I said, “Yes. Let’s go.”I couldn’t understand why I sensed a tension between us the entire ride to the club. The ride was eerily quiet, and I didn’t make any effort to kill the silence. Something about him seemed different today. It was perhaps because it was the first time that I was seeing him like this; so informally dressed and ready to let himself loose. I never imagined that he could be fun as he was always a workaholic for me. That had to be it, I thought. Once we reached our destination, I was amazed at the place. It was magnificent. I had never seen anything quite like it. “Damn,” I said, sighing out loud. “It’s better inside,” Enzo said as he came to stand behind me. Placing his hand on my arm, he nudged me fo

Enzo’s POVI took a sip from my whiskey as I watched her in the distance. She was speaking to Phoebe as the two of them took to the dance floor to sway to the music. I have never seen Cassie like this before, so carefree and so happy. She was having a great time.I realized I was staring at her when someone clicked their finger in front of me. It was Leo.Regaining my composure, I downed the left over whiskey in one shot.“Careful there, brother.” He said, “You’re making it obvious.”“Is it, really?” I sighed, wiping my mouth. “I’m a lost cause.”&n

Enzo’s POV“Give me a break.” I scoffed and turned around to ask the bartender for another glass of whiskey.“Okay, okay.” Leo said, laughing. “I’ll get off your back now. However, I guess someone else needs your attention now.”Frowning I looked toward him and watched that he was gazing at something with a smirk on his face. When I followed it, I saw that he was looking at Cassie. But what caught my attention was not her, but a man beside her. She was sitting on a table now, while Hank and Phoebe were still dancing, and a new man had managed to catch her attention.“Who the hell is that?” I asked, perplexed. Does she know him? Was h

Cassie’s POVAfter the fifth shot, I realized that I had had enough.I was feeling too light and dizzy, and everything around me seemed funny. I don't know how long Hank, Phoebe and I were dancing and chattering until our legs gave away and begged us to take some rest. After taking some rest for a bit, Phoebe and Hank went back to the bar to join Enzo and Leo and I watched them order another round of drinks.Their stamina knew no bounds, I thought. I would fade in comparison.Resting my head against the table, I closed my eyes to catch some rest. It did make me feel good for a bit and the nauseous feeling that arose within my stomach when I took my last shot slowly disappeared. My body cooled

Enzo’s POVShe might as well have driven a sword through my chest.I ceased breathing at that moment, completely taken aback by her statement. It wasn't her words precisely that shocked me, but rather the intensity with which she declared that. As though she had full clarity regarding the matter and that she would not go back on it or have second thoughts."Are you okay?" She asked, tapping my arm."Yeah..." I said, "I was just shocked. You seem to have strongly made up your mind.""Of course, did I have a choice?" She said, "After what happened with Calvin... I realized that no man is worth so much effort. I have given my marr

Cassie’s POVI woke up the next day inside something. Not something. Someone. Someone was hugging me from behind and it felt amazing. But I was confused. Who was holding me? I turned around on the bed to see that it was Enzo.My eyes went wide when I saw him. What was he doing here? And why was he holding me? Did we... do something? Did I say something stupid? Or did we commit to something last night? I couldn't remember. When I looked down, I saw that I was fully dressed.I sighed in relief. So nothing happened.I slowly tried to move away from him. As I inched closer toward the edge of the bed. Suddenly, I lost balance and landed on the ground.

Sadness instead filled my chest. Poor girl! Emma didn’t deserve that. It was an indirect rejection to her.“Oh, Emma!” I said, “I’m so sorry.”“It’s fine. I didn’t have any expectations from it either.” She said, “In a way, it’s good because I can fully move on now.”“I suppose.” I said, “Patrick wants to meet you by the way. He told me just now.”She nodded, “I’ll be back then.”With that said she walked to Patrick’s room. Sighing, I turned toward my monitor and got to work. Only five minutes passed whe

Lost And Found By The Billionaire 218. I'll remember to thank her
Enzo looked at me and then back at the crowd, and then finally, a grin broke out on his face. “Wow.” he said, running his eyes over everyone. “That’s… my friends from college and my… how did you get them all together?” I shrugged, “After a month of thorough planning.” “I can’t believe you did this.” He said, “This is brilliant. Thank you so much, Cassie.” “You’re welcome.” I smiled. ”Now, let’s go.”One by one, Enzo’f friends and colleagues came up to him to meet him, but my eyes were looking for Sara. I found her at the far end by the bar, enjoying a drink with Mark, but her eyes were set on Enzo. She deserved to be here with us. “Oh, Emmy.” I heard Kelly’s voice coming from my side, distracting. I grinned as Emmy effortlessly slipped from my arms into hers. “Look at her, she looks like a darling.” She then looked toward, impressed, “Cassie, I must say. You completely transformed this place. Well done.” “Sara was of tremendous help, really.” I said, “I could not have done thi

Enzo’s POV I felt a small nudge on my stomach as I woke up. Assuming it to be Cassie’s limb, I ignored it. However, the nudge soon tickled it and then I felt something wet. My eyes opened to look at Emmy crawling on my chest, trying to bite my skin. A smile tugged at my lips upon the sight of her adorable face. Picking her up to my face, I placed a kiss on her cheek. “How did you come here, darling?” I mumbled as I shifted to my side. And right then, I saw it. A small cupcake was resting on the bed with a note that read: Happy Birthday Daddy. I widened my eyes in surprise and grabbed my phone to check the date. Damn. I really lost track of time. “Happy birthday, baby.” Cassie grinned, leaning down to kiss me on the lips. “First birthday with our daughter, aren’t you thrilled?” “Absolutely,” I said as I watched Emmy. She was making weird, excited noises now, eyeing the cupcake. Her hands were reaching out toward it, and I scraped off the frosting on top to place it on her lips.
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 216. Keep this to yourself
As I went back home, I wondered what all of that was about. The man seemed weird, but should I tell Enzo? I was worried that he was already so stressed with everything at work. I was sure he would be overthinking with this even more. The last thing I wanted was to burden him, so I guess I would have to keep this one to myself. What Kent Rover said could’ve been a result of a massive ego hurt and nothing at all. In that case, there was no reason to alert Enzo. If he approached me again, then I would talk to Enzo about it. As I went home, I found Sara and Emmy playing in the living room as usual. However, what was strange was that Mark, Enzo’s associate, was added to the mix. And from the way Sara was laughing at whatever he had to say, I could tell that they were having a rather good time. “Hello.” I said as I walked in, “Didn’t expect you here, Mark.” He gave me a casual smile as he looked at me. “I’m sorry. I’m running errands for your fiance, please don’t mind.” “Not at all.”

As his rough hands caressed my skin, I couldn’t help but succumb to the pleasure. He was masterful at his craft and I’d long lost my immunity against his ways. Everytime he touched me, he set me on fire, and I very willingly submitted myself to him. Even though I knew he would be my doom. Despite my annoyance with him, one simple touch from him made me melt like a puddle. I was weak for him once again. But I hated being like this. I hated that I had no self control over this man. I couldn’t let him overpower me like this. He could use this as a tactic to make up with me every time I was upset. As if the Lord heard my concern, Emmy’s cry reached us. We sprung apart at once, staring at each other, dumbfounded. “Is that Emmy?” Enzo asked, gasping for breath. “Yeah,” I mumbled with an equally raspy voice as I pulled away from him. “I’ll check on her.” He was reluctant to let go of his hold on my body as I pulled away. But finally, he gave in, his shoulders slumping down as his bod
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 214. Peace of mind
Later that evening, after Enzo was done with work, he walked in on me laying in the bathtub. His shoulder slumped, an exhausted sigh leaping out of him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were here.” “You want to join?” I proposed, knowing very well that he was dying for a bath. “I don’t mind.” Although he was still giving me attitude, he could not refuse the tempting offer I gave him. Without a word, he stripped naked in front of me and descended into the tub across from me. I couldn’t help but give him a disappointed smirk, “How long are you going to continue this?” “Continue what?” “This.” I said, motioning toward the distance between us. “Giving me the cold shoulder. Ignoring my calls. Throwing me unnecessary shade.” A hint of a smile touched his lips. “I like the peace it's bringing to my life. I might continue with this for a bit.” My mouth fell open. The bastard. Right then, Enzo grabbed my right foot from the edge of the tub and pulled it toward him, lathering it with som
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 213. Bruises
It took me a week to finally get back to work. Leaving Emmy with Sara was still not feasible, so I decided to start working from home for now. My team missed me back at the office and told me that they’d want to have me in person. But they were relieved this morning that they could see me at least on videocall. I was currently waiting for Raymond to join our private call whilst looking over the notes I made. As soon as the call connected, his face appeared. “Hello, Cassandra.” He said, “It’s great to see you after so long.” “You too. I’m excited to be back.” I said, holding up my notes, “And I came prepared. Shall we start?” “Yes, right away.” We spent the next hour discussing the project and coming up to date with what was happening. I noted all the issues Raymond faced and promised to fix them from our end. “So that’s it then?” He asked. “Yes, just one small thing. Completely off topic.”“Shoot.” “Do you know what’s up with Enzo? I can tell him there’s something at work tha
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 212. Where would I go?
Much to Enzo’s annoyance, I made sure Sara and Enzo sat at the table for breakfast. Enzo could tell that I was doing this on purpose, but he was polite enough to not call me out on my tactics. He simply poured himself some juice and got to eating. “So, Sara.” I said, “What are you studying at college?” Enzo glared at me, but he listened to her anyway. “I majored in English literature.” She said, taking a spoonful of salad into her mouth.“Oh, that’s interesting.” I mused. “Yeah, I didn’t get to finish it, though.” She said, “I had to drop out of college within eight months since I couldn’t afford the tuition. My scholarship was revoked halfway, and well…” “Why did that happen?” Enzo asked, “Your scholarship.” “Ah, well. The company that was funding my education went bankrupt.” She said, “I had no choice but to quit.” “And your father?” He asked, “He couldn’t help out?” She scoffed, “My father has been dependent on me for three years now. There’s no way he can help me.” “What

“What were you thinking?” Enzo hissed as soon as it was just the two of us. When I asked Sara if she would like to be Emmy’s nanny, she was stunned. It took her a good minute to understand the pros and cons, but when she realized how much we were willing to pay, it was a no brainer for her. She said yes instantly. Poor girl was working three jobs right now. If all went well, she could quit two of those for the pay she would be receiving here. However, the only person who was not happy with the entire set up was Enzo. “Enzo, don’t tell me this isn’t a good plan.” I said, “She is a reliable person, and she has good instincts. I mean, you’ve seen how she was with Emmy. And we desperately needed a nanny anyway.” “Yes, but Sara isn’t the only person available for the job.” He said, “God, she’s my sister. You don’t know if I want her in my life.” “You don’t?” I asked, “Is that what this is about? You can’t stand the sight of her anymore?” “That’s not it.” He gritted his teeth, “I do
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 210. An offer
Cassie’s POV Three weeks later, Enzo and I sat in our living room, waiting for our guest. It took him all these days to finally see the meaning in my words, and he decided to meet his sister now. “Where is she?” He said, glancing at his watch. “I’m running late.” “Gosh, Enzo. Give her a minute. She is in the elevator.” He let out a ragged breath. I could tell that he was nervous, but he wouldn’t let it show. This was how he’s been acting all week, as though meeting his sister was not a big deal. He was hell bent on proving to me and perhaps even himself that her presence in his life won’t matter too much. But I knew how much of a difference it would make. Especially if she was nothing like the woman he was making her out to be in his head. Right then, I heard a knock on the door making me stand up at once with a hopeful smile. I went to the door and opened it, and it revealed a familiar young woman. She looked just as pretty as when I last saw her, but anxiousness made her face
