All Chapters of Pleasing the Billionaire : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

It was another Sunday and Jamie was back at the karaoke bar to catch a glimpse of Cookie. It’s been a week since he got her text and he stopped sending her gifts, not wanting to annoy her further. After sulking over it, he decided to give her a little space to calm down before planning another approach. But it didn’t mean he was going to stop watching her. He loved discretely keeping tabs on her and ensuring she was safe just like he’d promised her mom all those months ago.He pulled into the parking lot of De Bryn’s Karaoke Bar and alighted from his car. Unlike every other Sunday he’d stopped by, this time he was about an hour late. It had taken him time to decide to finally come. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to see her and not want that physical conversation he’d been dying to have with her but after much thought, he was able to press down the urge and tell himself he was giving her a bit of space. But even as he stepped into the busy bar, he felt his heart palpitating wildly at thou

“A Lot has happened, doll,” Jamie responded, letting out a deep breath. He grabbed Cookie’s arm and led her back to the kitchen, pushing out one of the stools of the kitchen island for her to sit on while he proceeded to dish her breakfast and handed her a bottle of water.Cookie continued staring at him as he cleaned up the sink, noticing the way his shoulders were bunched and how tense his posture was. It was as though he was having an internal struggle with himself. Instead of eating, she rose to her feet and walked up to him, circling her arms around his waist and letting them glide to his naked torso, the warmth of his skin seeping into her palm as she hugged him from behind. She rested her head on his back and felt him visibly relax into her touch.“It’s alright, Jamie. We don’t have to talk about it, now or ever if you’re not comfortable with it,” as much as she was curious to hear all about it and to know why Sylvia Lancaster was at his home, begging for a place in his life, s

It was a weekday and Jamie was in his office, reading through a contract that his manager had drafted, ready to be sent out to their client but then his office phone rang, disrupting him. He frowned as he picked up the phone and placed it on his ear, resting against his chair. His assistant's voice sailed through.“Sir…” but before she could speak further, Jamie interrupted her.“I thought I told you I didn’t want to be disturbed for the rest of the day?” he questioned harshly, hating that she’d pulled him from his work and now he had forgotten half of the adjustments he wanted to ask Aiden to make to the document.“I’m sorry, Sir but there’s a woman here to see you. She claims it’s urgent and is threatening to make a scene if she doesn’t speak with you,”He scoffed in annoyance and it was at the tip of his tongue to tell her to call security but then his curiosity got the best of him.“Who is she?”Deep down, he wondered if it was Sylvia. Heaven knows he’d have security throw her out

It was a Friday afternoon and Jamie was trying to tidy up some loose ends in the contract his attorney had drafted, regarding his partnership with the Henderson family business. He was lost in his old world until he suddenly heard the sound of his office door slamming against the wall. The disturbance jerked him away from the file on his desk and his eyes darted up to see Selena there, this time, holding a little kid.His eyes widened almost immediately with recognition but then his assistant rushed in with a frightened expression etched on her face.“I’m sorry Sir but I tried holding her back but she wouldn’t listen,” she explained profusely in a shaky voice but Jamie waved her off, sending her out of the office. As soon as the door shut behind her, he returned his attention to Selena who was standing there like she had the right to be in his office, while still holding onto the kid whose innocent gaze was fixed on Jamie, her big ocean-blue eyes drinking him in.Staring at Selena wit

The next weekend, Cookie moved into Jamie’s apartment, as he’d proposed. She didn’t second guess her decision and was happy to be living with the love of her life. She’d told her friends and her mom about the engagement, and she couldn’t wait to tell Gretchen more about the progress of their relationship. Her mom was happy for her. She’d always known Gretchen approved of Jamie for her and now that they were back together, she was glad that her daughter was in safe hands.It was a Monday evening, and she’d closed from work early. Usually, Jamie would drive to her place of work to pick her up but she decided to surprise him with a nice evening. Hence, she took a cab home and showered, deciding to prepare his favorite meal for dinner. But first, she called her mom to spread the good news to her.“Hey mom,” she greeted Gretchen with a bright smile on her face, as the older woman stared back at her from the computer screen.“Hey, baby, aww see how you’re glowing?” she praised her, returni
