Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Stripper: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

As Rose answered all the questions Jerry Jones asked and listened to the replies she gave, she realized that something was wrong. Something just seemed off about the whole thing and it was sad that it took so long for her to have realized it."Yes, I was the one who paid for his phone." Rose tried with difficulty to swallow the lump which had slowly formed in her throat as the answers became harder for her to give."Why did you do that Miss Cohen? Did he not have a phone? From what you said, he had enough money to pay his bills." He was asking his questions in a soft voice now because he was seeing how close to the edge she was. The last thing he would want to do was push her off.She had realized all on her own that something seemed fishy about the habits Victor Reeds had exhibited. He simply was not acting in the normal way someone with nothing to hide acted."When we first met, he did not have a phone actually.""What was his

Wayne was glad to be in the office that Monday morning. He had spent the entire weekend thinking about Rose and needed to get her out of his head.He wondered if she had seen the money and letter he had typed out for her. He had made a quick call and arranged it all when he had gone back to his closet to get her the pair of slippers. He had sent a text message just before getting in the elevator to ensure that everything was set and going according to plan.He wondered if she had appreciated the money. He had thought about giving her more but had a feeling that she would have shown up at his house trying to return the money. It was a good sign that she had not come yet. Why had he even considered giving her more? Since when did he start freely handing out dollar bills which had not been requested for, by the way?Another annoying factor was that he was financing the search for the man who could get in his way if found. But he had to get her to tr

Wayne was not proud of what he had done, but he had really hated to hear his mother cry and not be able to do anything about it. Plus he had really needed her to give him a break.That lie about him having a serious girlfriend would get her off his back and give him space for at least a little while. She would find out eventually that he had lied or maybe he would have actually gotten a serious girlfriend by then; only time would tell.But he really needed to get back to work. A knock on the door drew his attention away from all those thoughts about grandbabies."Yes? Come in."Wayne was not surprised to see Ben Johnson holding a tray when the door was eventually opened. He brought his coffee like clockwork whenever he was in the office and always made it just the way he liked it."Good morning Sir, I have got your coffee right here. It's just the way you like it, light on the cream and two cubes of sugar." He said with a flourish as he c

Wayne had been really surprised to hear that Rose had come to see him. He had certainly never expected her to show up here. But he felt himself getting excited at the prospect of seeing her again."Sir? I am sorry, what did you say?" Ben asked in surprise as he waited for Wayne to repeat himself; because he was not so sure he had heard right."Please do not make me repeat myself Ben. Ask them to send Cinnamon to my office now. Any other appointment I have can wait until I am done with her." Wayne said impatiently as he did end up repeating himself."Alright Sir," Ben quickly replied. He did not exactly understand the situation but he figured it was best not to get on Wayne's nerves; especially when he had been having such a good day earlier.He quickly replayed the message back to Sarah downstairs and waited for Wayne to give any further orders."If you would kindly excuse me gentlemen, Tom, we can finish this discussion after s

Ben walked into the office but Wayne’s attention was somewhere else as he stewed over this new information Tom had presented.Really?This had to be a sign or something because how lucky was he that his latest interest had applied to work at his company? It would be so convenient to have her nearby and Wayne was trying to keep a grin off his face as he thought about it. “However, after she submitted her resume online she was never called in for an interview,” Tom finished as he waited for a response from Wayne. Tom’s words jolted Wayne back to reality.What the hell was he thinking? When did he suddenly become one of those guys who employed their lovers just so they could be close by? It wasn’t like Rose was his lover or anything but that was definitely the goal; he had to have her. But he didn’t mix business with pleasure and it seemed like employing Rose fell into that category. If he wanted anything to do with her it would be outside
