Meeting Ryan
Last Updated:
2022-12-24 04:24:24Diana had left the apartment to escape Michelle's desperate please for her to apply for the job at Global Tech so that she could have an inside person in the company. She went down the street and went into a coffee shop since she needed some caffeine in her system. She just didn't see it much of her concern and didn't want to quit her job so that she could apply at the company. While waiting for her turn in line, a young handsome man came and cued behind her waiting for his turn too. She hadn't had the opportunity to look at him better but she could smell his cologne on him and it was kinda intoxicating. It was not that concentrated but it was definitely enough to get her attention. By the time it was her turn to make her order, she was already getting tired of standing and when she walked up to the lady, her smile faded. The lady had on this no nonsense look and barely smiled back to any the customers. She ordered her coffee black with some cream on it to which the lady at the reception just wrote it down without any expression on her face before going to get her order. Just as she was about to place that order, the guy behind Diana spoke up
"I'll take mine the same way" the guy said over her shoulder. Diana was not expecting this therefore she turned shocked a little bit. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" the guy added
" No worries" Diana said to him before turning to the lady taking the order," make that two please " she requested
"Whatever" the lady said as she placed the order
" What an enthusiastic lady" the guy whispered in a sarcastic tone which made Diana chuckle a bit.
"Tell me about it" she said as she leaned back a little. When their orders were ready, Diana was about to pay but the young man swiped his card paying for both of the orders to her surprise.
"You didn't have to do that" Diana said when as she turned to him and handed him his coffee
"You saved me from having a whole conversation when ordering my coffee, it's the least that I could do" the guy said. "I'm Ryan by the way" he said as he stretched his hand for a handshake
"You could have let me pay for my own coffee, I don't like when someone else does that. I'm Diana by the way" she responded as she started walking towards one of the booths at the coffee shop. The booths were made such that they could accommodate only two people per table and in the whole shop, only one was available. So when Diana went and had her seat, Ryan was left scanning to see if there was another open booth. He walked towards her booth but it's like he had second thoughts about sitting there when he looked at her. He slowly walked by her while still sipping his coffee. Diana looked over her shoulder and around the shop to see if there was any available slots but she saw none. After contemplating whether to ignore Ryan or not, she finally gave in
"You can seat here" she said to him since he was standing behind her waiting for a seat to be available. Ryan turned and gave her a warm smile before sitting down across from her.
"Thank you" he said in a low voice
"No problem" she responded
"I thought I had offended you, that's why I was steering clear from you" Ryan said with some humor to it which made Diana smile slightly
"Well, I don't make it a habit of wanting to get my things done by another man" she said
" Definition of independent right there " Ryan said amused
" I actually just think of it as me being able to get my things done without needing unnecessary help. When a guy does this, you don't hear people calling him independent. He's just being a guy who can get his things done" Diana reasoned
" That's the first time I've heard that and I completely agree with you. That's some good reasoning right there " Ryan said," anyway, I'm new in town and I just hope that this place is what it's said to be"
" And what's that? " Diana asked a bit curious about what the city's reputation was to the outside world
"One of the top ones is there are a lot of opportunities in this city, in terms of career, love and life" Ryan said
" And which of the three are you looking for in the city of Georgia? " Diana went on
" Mostly career and life" Ryan answered
"Well, that's a surprise. It's the first time I've heard a person who has come to Georgia and is not looking for love" Diana said
" Some things aren't built for people like me" Ryan said
" I smell a dark past concerning your love life, and I'll respectfully not ask anything about that. So, what are you looking for in terms of career? " She asked
" Well, I'm thinking of starting a company here. You know, have a few staff here and there. Make a killing out of the sales and that sort of thing "Ryan answered
" Big dreams deserve big leaps" Diana commented
" I know. I just hope that it'll be a success or else it would have been a complete waste of my time and resources " Ryan said
The conversation went on for a while with some moments of awkward silence here and there. After a while, Ryan had finished his coffee and excused himself to leave without asking for her number or trying to get her to meet him for another chat, something which she liked because she was in no mood to turn him down despite him being good looking and humble

The Broken Billionaire Who is Ryan?
What Diana didn't know was that Ryan was the billionaire genius behind Global Tech company. Despite his young age of 26, Ryan has accomplished so many accolades due to his knowledge and intelligence that many reporters claimed to me unmatched. Ryan was born in a family where he was the only child and found himself on the lower side of the society because his parents were poor. His parents decided not to have another child so that they could be able to at least afford taking care of him and meeting their needs at home. At a young age, Ryan was seen to be learning so much in a short time, something which made his parents hopeful that he would be able to use his brains in life and make the best out of life. By the age of nineteen, he had finished his high school in one of the low class schools in the neighborhood. He managed to get the highest score in the whole state, something that attracted someone into sponsoring him and taking him to one of the most prestigious universities in the w

When Ryan walked into his office, he saw Olivia by the desk going through some files before she noticed his presence."It's good to see you" he said to make his presence known to her to which she raised her head and gave him a warm smile"You're back, I've been wondering where you had disappeared off to since you weren't at your house this morning" Olivia told him"You went by my house?" Ryan asked a bit surprised" Yes, I wanted to check in on you. But the butler simply told me that he hadn't seen you since yesterday" Olivia answered" Ooh yes, I decided to spend the night at one of the hotels in town. Sometimes being alone in that big house gets the better part of me and I feel so lonely " Ryan said" But you have some staff around, how could you feel lonely? " She asked" There's a difference of having people and having staff around. No matter how much you try to make them comfortable or have a conversation with them, they still fear me as their boss. It's a relief that they don't

Meanwhile, back at home Diana was waiting for Mitchel to come from the shower so that she could tell her that she wouldn't be willing to quit her job just for the sake of getting into Global Tech. When Mitchell came out of the shower, she looked at Diana with troublesome eyes"Where did you disappear off to?" Mitchell asked" I just wanted to have some coffee and escape your devious plan " Diana answered" No matter what you say, you know that I'll still push you towards that job opening. If I were qualified, I wouldn't even have asked you but I'm also looking out for you. What if you get the job and I don't get Mr billionaire? It's still a win win. Have you seen the salary there offering here? My goodness " Mitchell exclaimed" I'm good where I am, the pay is good and I've adjusted to that working environment quite well"Diana defended himself" But you won't be able to make as much as they're offering here. Will you please just agree to send in your CV? If they don't give you any fee

While they were back in the apartment Mitchell kept eyeing Diana mischievously as they were preparing dinner"Can you quit looking at me like that?" She asked Mitchell" Like what? I'm not looking at you in any way" Michelle defended herself as she nudged Diana using her butt."I know what your doing and before you even start making it a fuss, the answer is either I don't know, don't want to know or no" Diana told her"You haven't even heard what I was about to say" Mitchell said with a sigh. She then looked at Diana with puppy dog eyes to get some sympathy. In addition to this , she puffed her lips and tried to make herself look as sad as possible. Just like when a baby is about to throw a tantrum after being denied something"That's not going to work on me and you should probably check on your noodles" Diana said as she noticed that the food was about to spill over from boiling making Mitchell react fast by turning off the burner."Close call," Mitchell said, "these noodles look goo

After a few minutes Ryan was at their doorstep with a bottle of expensive wine in hand. Mitchell was the one who opened the door for him as Diana was serving food for him. At the doorstep, Mitchell made sure to be loud enough for Diana to heard her "Hey handsome, that was fast" she said"Well, I was still around the neighborhood getting ready to head home and stuff like that. But since Diana invited me here, I thought it wouldn't be bad if I accepted the invitation" Ryan said as he handed her the glass of wine."My oh my. Boy you got taste. Where did you get this fine glass?" Mitchell asked as she walked him into the small dinning room."I just dropped by a liquor store and asked for one of their finest and vintage wine." Ryan responded as Diana welcomed him into the room with a hug. Despite it being evening, she noticed that his cologne was still strong and he still smelled fresh like he was straight from the shower. A bonus to her. He was still wearing the black suit which lacked t

And that's how I just got her to ask me to stay the night. So I gladly took on this offer and told her that it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel my intrusive thoughts start lurking around about all the things that we could do but since I wasn't aiming for that, I just pushed them aside. I leaned back into the couch and her movement on the couch made me turn to her to see what she was up to. To my surprise, she got up with the small blanket in hand and snuggled up next to me such that she leaned on my chest and her face was next to mine. With every passing second she snuggled closer and closer as if she wasn't comfortable enough. It was when I stretched out my arm for her to come closer and wrapped it around her when I saw that she was much more comfortable. I could feel her steady breathing on my chest as we watched another movie. No matter how much I tried to concentrate on the movie, I could feel her gaze shift from the movie to me a couple of times. She did this in a way that sug

Things were good for the next few days. I was talking to Diana on a daily basis and to be honest I couldn't tell if she wanted to just hook up or if she wanted more. At this point in my life, I wasn't really into getting into a relationship since my past had enough scars that humbled me. I know you must be thinking how can a billionaire have everything and still lack the love of a woman who is expected to stand by his side and make the perfect couple. The answer is simple, the same way a famous movie quote said, 'with great power comes great responsibility ' I also have a saying that goes well with my situation, 'with a lot of money comes a lot of responsibilities'. Funny, right? But that's the truth. The moment you find yourself in a position that's higher than everyone else either in terms of wealth or power, you never seem to know who are your actual friends or if their just people hoping to benefit from being associated to you. I learnt this the hard way. As I was in my house thin

General point of viewIt's evening and Diana and Mitchell were in their apartment just watching some movies and enjoying some good time. While at this, Mitchell was also working on the computer trying to see if she could find another part time job in order to increase her income."So, how is it going with Ryan?" She asked Diana without even looking at her"It's going good, I mean we have had some meet ups here and there but I can say it's all good" Diana responded" You know I don't want that kind of answer. I'm asking like have you done anything yet that he can't do with anyone else out here? " Mitchell asked" I know what you meant to ask and that's why I didn't answer you. Wait, are you already having gitters about your car? " Diana teased. She could see that Mitchell wasn't looking at her but she knew that the car she had put on the line would be one of her most prized possessions. Personally she didn't care if she won or lost, at the end of the day she wouldn't take her car just

From the moment she woke up, her face lit up as the morning rays hit her skin."Someone's excited about today," Mitchell commented as she watched Diana take her breakfast."Of course I am, Ryan is going to propose today," she squealed excitedly." Just a reminder, don't get too excited. Ryan might have different plans," Mitchell reminded her." Fuck other plans, everything that he has been doing for the past few months have indicated to this day. All signs have suggested that if there's a day he will ask for my hand in marriage, today would be it." She told Mitchell confidently.She couldn't help but keep looking at the dress and jewelry that Ryan had gotten her for the night.

Within a matter of days, Ryan had called her and told her to get ready for they were going to the Bahamas for a week long vacation. He told her that he'll be coming to get her in two days as soon as he finished all the preparations.Mitchell was quick to tell Diana that this was what they were waiting for. Ryan had finally decided to do it. Every hint led to this and it has just started playing out as they had thought it would.Before the day that they were about to fly out, Ryan told Diana that she can bring Mitchell if she wanted to and who was Mitchell to not want to join them. At this point, they could tell that Ryan wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was rich. To Mitchell and Diana , this meant that Ryan was probably building up to telling Diana his true identity to which Diana was prepared to act surprised and all.
The Broken Billionaire Justina
Diana was quiet and tried to keep her mind busy as she was thinking about her next course of action. Mitchell knew that she had said enough and it was up to Diana to decide what to do. This was the first time that Mitchell was seeing Diana being that concerned about matters concerning love.The change that Ryan had brought in Diana was uncomprehendable to Mitchell. She never thought that Diana could be this concerned about a man. However, even as Diana's best friend, Mitchell had a few questions of her own regarding why Diana wasn't willing to risk letting Ryan go.Some of these questions originated from the fact that the had learnt about Ryan's true identity and had even confirmed it for themselves. To Mitchell, it seemed that Diana had turned out to be Justina, just in a different body. To her, this new finding had made Diana more willing to keep the secret and not risk loosing Ryan.This might sound like a bad thought coming from Diana's own best friend. But I know that as you read

"So how are things going on for you and Ryan?" Mitchell asked Diana as they were preparing their food."Things are going great. I mean it's been around six months with him and I can tell that he's really serious with me," Diana answered as she was just taking a seat."Who would've thought," Mitchell said to herself as she sat next to Diana.In her own mind, Mitchell had never taken Diana for a lover girl. He always saw her as the friend who wanted to have fun in the moment. Even as she had dared Diana when they met Ryan, she didn't think it would go this far."Your mind is on to something," Diana said as she urged Mitchell to speak up."I'm just thinking of how things are going. You've changed over the past few months, and I dare say it's because of Ryan" she spilled."Changed? How?" "Come on, you ain't the same person you were an year ago. The Diana I knew, loved to have fun. You know, go out to parties. Go to concerts and the like. Look at you know, talking about how things are goi

She could see a future that included him for the rest of her life. Mitchell always reminded her not to make any mistake of letting her actions slip for they knew that it would have a devastating effect on the relationship.Of all the dates, Ryan had planned one so well that Diana couldn't get her mind from it. It stuck with her more than all the other ones. What she didn't know, was that at this point, Ryan was pulling all the stops to make sure that she believes everything that was coming her way. From the love and affection to the trust and bond that they now shared.The date started with breakfast in bed
The Broken Billionaire Ryan Talks to Olivia
Three Days LaterRyan was in his living room with Rodriguez in his office going over some reports that had been sent to him by Olivia. Ever since Ryan distanced himself from the company, Olivia had been running it all by herself and gave a report from the executives of the company to Ryan.This, however, meant that Ryan and Olivia didn't not see each other as much as they used to and on Olivia's side, she always felt like something was missing. She was never comfortable with Ryan not being around the company since she was used to his presence and now with him gone, the place felt deserted.Rodriguez had come to notice this everytime he visited the company to check on how things were running but never mentioned it to Ryan who seemed already preoccupied with Justina and Diana's situation.On this particular day, the week was coming to a close and the company was about to take a scheduled one week holiday so that the staff could get some room to breath. This always happened once every si
The Broken Billionaire All's Well?
After days of not talking to each other, Diana finally decided to call Ryan and ask if they could meet. This came as a surprise to him but he was willing to see what the meeting will yield.So, on the day they were to meet up, Ryan got ready and was well on his way to the restaurant that Diana had suggested. On his way there, he got a call from Christian who was with Rodriguez at the time."Where are you?" Christian asked when he heard the wind blowing on Ryan's end."I'm outside, going to meet Diana," he responded.Silence.Christian and Rodriguez looked at each other not sure that they had heard him right. Trying to figure out how to ask if he was kidding or not, Ryan went on,"I know the question you're about to ask me, and the answer is yes. I'm still seeing Diana. She called me and said she wanted to talk." " But Ryan, she knows who you really are. Don't you think that poses a threat to you?" Rodriguez asked, concerned that Diana might end up being a loose end just like Justina.
