All Chapters of Billionaire's Reluctant Girl: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

VIVIAN SCOTTI couldn't stop smiling at the different expressions that went through that pretty face as it peeped inside through the gap the non-transparent glass door created when it was pushed open. She wasn't just pretty; she was gorgeous. Breathtaking! I hadn't seen a more beautiful face in the long past.I knew how good I looked; it never was less than a pleasure to get complimented for the physique I inherited from my father. Like him, I towered more than six feet, and I was blessed with a natural athletic body. But today, seeing a beautiful woman unknowingly adore my body gave me an adrenaline rush. I so badly wanted to tease her and watch her reaction! But then, I wouldn't let any of those emotions come up on my face. I was that bastard who could hide any emotions, under any circumstances, at ease unless I wanted it to be shown.Wasn’t she the one who insisted on meeting me even after I canceled the appointment? She must be strong-willed, I thought, my curiosity piqued. I hadn’

VIVIAN SCOTTAfter a long day, finally, I found myself in my penthouse, standing by the window overlooking the city. The lights blinked lazily beneath me, a sharp contrast to the rapid pace my mind was moving. I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled deeply, the weight of the day still heavy on my shoulders. But something else was on my mind now—someone else.Alice Riley. I hadn’t expected her to be the way she was. For someone who worked in the legal field, she hadn’t shown the professionalism I expected. It was like I was dealing with a different version of her altogether—one that didn’t quite match the polished, corporate image she was supposed to present.She was far from what I’d expected, and maybe that’s why she was still in my thoughts. The way she’d fumbled, then found her composure, trying to remain confident even though I could sense her internal conflict. The way she’d blushed when I leaned in too close, the heat in her cheeks almost palpable. That reaction, so unguarded an

The news must have spread before the official announcement. "What is it with you and Scott Group, girl? Did I hear you are now the key contact for them?" Maria almost attacked me as I occupied the seat beside her the following morning. Turning on my computer system, I flashed at her proudly. "Hard work pays off." When I said that, I meant it. I was working my ass off to build a career for myself. More girls in Lexis Consultants worked hard, too. But unlike them, I knew how to grab the opportunities. Of course, ethically. Glancing long across the cubicles to the entrance and then to the cabin of Mr. Segal, I turned to Maria, who was engrossed in her system. I asked, “Has he come in yet?” Maria reached before me today, and I hoped she might have a clue if Mr. Segal was in already. I badly wanted to talk to him. I wanted to know if my new responsibilities would mean I was in regular contact with Vivian Scott. “Do you mean the boss? Yes, he is in already. You could get a call anyti

VIVIAN SCOTTWomen often fell into two categories: those who were intimidated by my position and those who tried to use it to their advantage. Alice, however, was neither. She had this maddening ability to challenge me without saying much, a subtle defiance in her demeanor. She seemed to hate my authority but respected her own boundaries. That, more than anything, intrigued me—but not for long, or so I thought.The responsibilities of running a company like Scott Group didn’t allow room for distractions. Meetings, reports, deadlines—they kept my mind occupied, leaving little time to dwell on fleeting encounters, no matter how captivating. By the time the weekend rolled around, I’d convinced myself Alice Riley was nothing more than a passing thought.Until today."And dinner meeting today at 6:30 pm. Ms. Riley from Lexis Consultants will accompany you," Kate's voice came crisply over the phone as she updated me about the day's schedule.I paused for a moment before replying. "Alright."

ALICE RILEYFinally, it was my turn to wear the victory smile. Wasn't he as flustered as I had been days ago in his office? The look on his face told me everything. It was like a moment of payback. His usual composed demeanor had slipped, just a little, and it felt good.Feeling satisfied, I pulled out my phone and booked an Uber when I heard footsteps approaching. Before I could react, his smooth and unhurried voice came from behind me.“Alice, I always believe in games that are even,” Vivian said, his tone a mix of confidence and mischief, as if hinting at something deeper, something more dangerous.As his words hit my nerves, a shiver of unease crawled up my spine, but I kept my expression steady.Vivian held my hand, his grip tightening around my wrist, and before I could even process what was happening, he pulled me toward him. My body collided with his chest, and for a brief moment, I was completely off balance. His steady hold kept me there, chest to chest, our faces mere inches
