Semua Bab One night with the billionaire : Bab 21 - Bab 30

It felt like I couldn't breathe. I knew that he was arriving, I was already anticipating him but seeing him in flesh in front of me struck me. Edward had a certain charm about him, that's why I fell so hard and fast. And noticing him there with his eyes slightly widened I knew it was going to be hard to resist. Releasing the breath I was holding I confidently strode towards him. His eyes were following my every moment but I tried to seem unaffected. As soon as I was standing in front of him his scent surrounded me. I swallowed the lump in my throat as the memories clouded my brain. Sometimes I used to teasingly press close to him, get the whiff of his scent and pretend we were alone. Blinking my eyes to get rid of that image I forwarded my hand towards him. "Hi I am Ariana Alexandre, sales manager" His eyebrows pulled together at the cold, curt tone. Was he expecting me to recognise him? After a few seconds, he finally grabbed my hand and shook it. My blood boiled at ho

"I'll treat you to dinner. Will you have dinner with me?" I blinked my eyes at the question suddenly feeling my throat dry. Where was that coming from? It sounded way too genuine to have any malicious intent but I was done. As soon as I heard about Edward coming back I decided to not indulge his demands. That would have been easy if he wasn't my boss. "Mr Milano" I gave him a smile to soothe the blow. Besides he needs a little payback. Because lying about not remembering him isn't enough! I ignored that little voice in my head. "You are my boss so I think it would be totally inappropriate to have dinner together. Your apology is enough" He winced at that, a bit taken back at the harsh rejection. Well, I did try to soften the blow. Edward was definitely not the kind of person who gets denied for something. I was familiar with that. He licked his lips, my eyes immediately following his trail when he decided to look up. I blushed at being caught for staring at his lips. "Bu

Aston was kind enough to bring me home after my meltdown in the parking lot. The news was affecting me because there was still some hope inside me that we would rekindle. It was naive of me to even think about getting back together with someone like Edward. After promising Ashton that I would look after myself and assuring him for what seemed like the hundredth time I bade him goodbye. Aiden stayed back at my parent's house because I was not in the right mind to entertain him. Blinking my eyes open I looked around and was filled with new hope. It was a new day and I was not going to let anyone ruin it for me. With attitude, I stepped inside the office. "Good morning boss!" Patrick saluted me. He always made sure that he gave me that mock salute. It was nothing serious. I hummed looking around when I spotted Edward at the corner desk busy with Alisha. Rolling my eyes at their giggles pushed through my office door and angrily stomped inside. Sam immediately followed behind

I sighed as my eyes shifted towards Aiden. He was still angry about me not taking him to that new restaurant. Ashton seriously need to stop teasing him. It's me who has to pay the price later. Aiden had no idea that he was at my mom's place for a sleepover because I was out eating nachos without him. In my defence, I thought he was happy about it. But I should have talked to him. "Aiden stop pouting it's been a day now," I said in an exasperated tone as my shoulders sagged. Aiden was a stubborn child, the kind who gets whatever he wants. And he took it to an extreme at times but then again he was easy to convince sometimes. Hot or cold. Nothing in the middle. He crossed his arms, glaring at the television in front of him. As always he was watching Home Alone. For some reason, it was his favourite. I narrowed my eyes towards the clock on the wall. A plan formed in my head. "Fine be that way! I'll call grandma to watch over you while I go to the store. Alone" I calmly said

/Edward's POV/ Sara was in the office. And for some reason that did not sit well with me. Asif was trying to understand what was going on the other side of the office but he failed. The moment Aria arrived in the office Sam informed me while he was going to get her coffee. He had a nervous look on his face. Everything inside me was trying not to snap at Sara for entering the office without asking. Last night she was busy trying to get an appointment for something as she was leaving to see her sister. For a moment that news delighted me but then I felt guilty for thinking that way. "I'll just go by myself " I huffed, standing up from the chair. A squeak echoed at the sudden movement but I ignored it. Asif was standing by the door but when he noticed me he moved away. "Is she still in there?" I licked my lips as I stood in the doorway. From my current position, I could see Arias office. But the blinds were closed so I could not see anything that was going inside. "Yes, s
