The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption "Experience Building Opportunity"
Walking in through the glassy entrance to trove drove tremors through me, there was the lingering frustration that Simon was existing in the same building as I was, which brought about the fact that I could run into his icy figure at any point in time.I scanned the lobby for his granite face, once, twice while waiting for the elevator to arrive.Ding, relief coursed through me, thank goodness executives took a different elevator or there would have been the possibility of us riding the elevator together.Just the thought of us being in the same cramped space had me balling my fists in anger. The fact that he had this much effect on me, that just the thought of him drove series of emotions through me was another annoyance.I walked into my surprisingly quiet department and went straight to my desk. I had expected it to be noisy but everyone was busy working. Even Adam greeted me with only a wave and went back to staring at his system.I guess the excitement of the merger and meeting
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Triumph in Disbelieve
‘Smile brightly, don’t think of the past, he’s your boss, you need this job’ walking to Simon’s office I had this mantra playing in my head on repeat.I had to survive this presentation without blowing up, I was in my workplace as Simon had so threatingly reminded me ofI relaxed my hands that had balled into fists rumpling the printed report. I smoothen it out and go through it again.Thank goodness it wasn’t much seeing as Trove was not a company with a lot of press.It shouldn’t be that hard to explain a ten page report to him.‘Breath in, breath out’ I knock loudly on the door and walk in after his muffled ‘come in’His head was buried in papers and he didn’t even look up as I walked in.I clear my throat.‘A minute’ he holds a finger up without looking at me.I stand there awkwardly shifting from foot to foot.My smile was still plastered on my face and I refused to break my resolve. I refuse to be angry.He raises his head and my smile falters,‘What did I say about refusing to
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Suspicion, Accusation
‘Mum, that man looks familiar, I think I know him’ ice broken, I turn towards Adam who has his face scrunched in concentration. ‘He’s my boss, dear, you’ve not met him before’ Adam looks at the TV once more, it had shifted to a different news. He shrugs his shoulders and continues eating finishing his food. I go back to mine glancing at Adam to see him finishing his too, I guess his suspicion had died down seeing as there was no picture for comparism. If one looked at both Simon and Ajax together, it was hard to miss the uncanny resemblance in their inky black eyes, the slant of their nose, the shape of their lips or in their small cat like ears. Coupled with the fact that I told Adam we had history, it won’t be hard for him to put two and two together. Even if he didn’t ask me it won’t be hard for him to go make his own findings, I hoped beyond hope that I had not done the wrong thing by telling Adam that I had history with Simon. ‘You’re not done eating? it’s getting la
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Hungry Hounds
“Shock, confusion, disbelief”, a torturous mix of emotions rush through me. The murmuring continues, spiking to full volume as everyone turn their eyes towards me waiting for my reaction. Where before they fixed me with shifting gazes, pretending to be busy with something once my eyes met theirs, they now stared at me openly. Open, unmoving gazes fixed on me like hungry wolves waiting to pounce. Obviously, the conversation had been going on for a while. I scoff wondering what brought about the ridiculous thinking in the first place. Even if Simon got me a million dollars worth of jewelry, it won’t even touch my hands in the first place talk less of finding its way to my neck. ‘It’s not your business where she got the necklace, it’s like you’ve all got nothing better to do’ Adam glares at all the unflinching, unmoving gazes. ‘There’, I snap out of my confused daze, I place a palm and Adam’s arm. ‘It’s true, I saw you on Monday clutching it in your hand when you left hi
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Misplaced Worries
Simon's POV You could almost hear my teeth grind from the hard set to my jaw as I walked back to my office. ‘The gal of that woman, privately dissing me even among a group of people' My mind goes back to her eyes on me as the sarcastic words rolled out of her mouth. Her eyes, watching me, expecting a reaction and gloating when she got what she wanted. I chided myself for reacting at that exact moment, I just successfully confirmed the underlying meaning in her words. I get to my office and run my hands through my hair, pacing about the office in slow strides. My mind travels to the cause of the problem in the first place. ‘Why, at this time, why did she leave me open to humiliation by the hand of this annoying woman' Taking out my phone from where it was stuffed in my pocket, I raise I to eye level, staring at the screen for any message from Sarah. I look to our chats, check my messages, emails but I’m met with the same crushing disappointment that I had always be

The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Little Matchmaker
The walk back to my department was considerably more torturous than the walk from it. New resolve solidified, there was only the problem of learning how to become a block of ice. It shouldn’t be that had, considering the fact that I had perfected the art of smiling through pain in my childhood. I just hard to shift unflinching smile to a straight face. My head reels just from thinking back to him dismissing me without do much as a glance. ‘This is much harder than I thought, I wonder how he does it' My mind stops it's unsteady movement when it comes to rest on Mr. Wright. The middle aged man treated me well unlike Simon. He had helped me get through my few months of marriage with his boss, much to his chagrin. He couldn’t fathom what his something of a father figure saw in me. He never openly criticized the way Simon treated me, but he helped me get by, like instructing the maids on my food preferences after asking me, or telling the maids to keep me company when Simon left me i
