All Chapters of I Hate you Mr. BILLIONAIRE : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Evelyn."So, it turns out that my best friend got engaged, and she didn't feel the need to inform me," Mira says, smacking on her gum as she barges into my apartment, carrying designer shopping bags.She drops them on a chair and turns around to stare at me accusingly. "Why didn't you tell me that you got engaged to Connor Everest, the man you swore you didn't have feelings for and who is also your boss?"It thoroughly slipped my mind to inform her, and it's been less than two weeks since Connor and I attended that event, where we informed everyone who cared to know. Since then, I've been focused on so many things at the same time, from dealing with the paparazzi who seem to show up at the most inconvenient places since they cannot camp in front of the building.With two weeks left until the unveiling gala, everyone's nerves are on edge. I have completed the final touches on my portion of the project and ran repeated tests to make sure everything is as it should be."I'm sorry," I apo

EvelynI see the flash as I turn my head to the large window showing a view of the street, but I don't see anyone. As much as I don't like the flashes and bright lights that come with being the fiancée of a popular CEO and public personality, I've schooled myself not to react in any way that might end up as a scandal."I'm probably just imagining this," I mutter. "Must be from all the pictures taken of us yesterday."Connor and I had to attend an event last minute, and a red carpet was outside the building. Suffice it to say we spent an hour trying to get from the limo that took us there into the place because of the press.There's another event tomorrow—I cannot wait until all of this is over—so I told him I'd go shopping myself instead of picking something from my closet.I'll also kill two birds with one stone and get a dress for myself for the unveiling gala that's in a little over a week.Then, I'll buy a piece of jewelry for my mom to apologize for sending her out of Connor's of

EvelynConnor takes my hand, and we walk to his car and get into a black Mercedes I don't recognize. Connor sits in the backseat with me, and when the car pulls away, he pulls me into his arms, lowering his head and kissing me on the mouth.I hold on to him as the adrenaline rush from being stalked fades away, leaving me drained."I'm sorry I couldn't get there faster," he whispers, touching his forehead to mine."How did you know I was in trouble?" I question.I understand he knew I was at the shopping complex because I told him, but he stopped Lance like he'd been around the whole time.He sighs."I knew something was going to happen, so I had two people watching you. I told them to stay a good distance away," he adds when my eyes widen in shock, "so they didn't infringe on your privacy. But if something happened, they were to call me."I don't know what to make of that. I've never had people shadowing me before or a reporter threaten to smear my name.It feels a little creepy, thou

Connor Ken enters the back seat and gives me the stink eye through the rearview mirror. "You could have said it was none of my business rather than leaving me there." My chest rumbles with laughter, and I stare at his frowning face. "Is that why you're seated at the back?" He nods and crosses his arms. "Yup. I'm at the back, that means you're my driver today." When I don't respond, he gestures to the wheel. "Come on. Let's go. Aren't you hungry?" My stomach grumbling keeps me from giving him a witty remark, and when he raises a cheeky brow, I chuckle. "I will be nice to you because you're getting married soon. After your honeymoon, be prepared to meet a ton of work on your desk. You were of little help with this project." "That's because I was attending to other duties," he complains. "And I could say the same about you. Do you know how many meetings I had to attend because you threw yourself into the project and working with Evelyn? It was like nothing else mattered." It f

ConnorBy the time Evelyn got there, I didn't want to let her go."They smell so good," she sniffs. "You've done a good deed, Mr. Everest."Then she drops the bouquet, takes a step forward, reaches high, and places a kiss on my lips. It's a brief, sweet one that satiates and leaves me longing all at once."Do you want to stay and drink the wine with me?"I shake my head."I should let you sleep. Why don't we drink it tomorrow? I don't want it to interfere with your beauty sleep."After she puts the bottle in the kitchen and the roses in a vase filled with water, Evelyn follows me to her door."How do you like my apartment?" She asks, holding the door open with one hand.We're so close that the only thing I'm looking at is her lips. I'm lost... contentedly lost in them."Connor?""Hmm?" I refocus."I missed you too," Evelyn says before she puts her hands around my neck and touches her lips to mine. I give in immediately, my lips parting to embrace the kiss.My hands go around her waist
