Billionaire's Love

Chapter 17

Eric reached home and noticed everyone was looking quite happy today. Happier than usual. He

thought maybe because of Cassandra. He went to them and sat on the couch near Cassandra. He

looked at everybody and they were looking at Eric. Cassandra had a huge grin plastered on her face.

He felt that something was not good for him.

He raised an eyebrow and asked

"Why are you all staring at me?"

They all smiled and Cassandra said

"Because you are getting married. You didn't even told me. How lucky Cheryl will be to have you"

Cassandra said in a tone of excitement.

Eric looked at his parents and they looked at him with a look of 'don't you dare tell her'

He took a sharp breath and just smiled at Cassandra. Of course he couldn't tell his sister about it. He

don't want her to be sad or be upset for him. Cassandra went to her room after few minutes of chatting.

Eric made sure that she is in her room so that he can talk to his parents.

"What the bloody hell" He said through gritted teeth. He was fuming with anger.

"What? You know that you are getting married to Cheryl. Why are you behaving like this then?" Richard

said with an irritated tone.

"I never said yes" Eric said.

"Then I guess I have to-" He got interrupted by Eric shout.

"Can you stop threatening me dad. Go and have a god damn life" Eric was so angry that all these

words came out of his mouth. Although he didn't regret saying those words.

"I hope you haven't forgotten that I am your father" Richard said, surprised that his own son would talk

to him like that. Josephine covered her mouth with her hand. She thought to speak.

"Son, what happened?"

"Oh for god's sake, stop behaving like you really care about me" Eric angrily said.

"Better show some respect Eric. Get lost" Richard had enough now, so he dismissed him.

Eric huffed in anger and went away from there. He entered in his room and throw himself on the bed.

He didn't want to get married. But if he go against it, Richard will bring him down in the swap of his

fingers. He slowly drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up it was already 8:00 am. It has become his routine to skip dinner these days. He most

of the times get angry with his parents that he skip dinner or sometimes he go to clubs and spend a

night there. He got up and got ready and went off to his company.

He reached there and went to his cabin. He skipped his breakfast as well. He went to the cafeteria and

ordered a coffee and went to the other counter and ordered a sandwich. He went to his cabin and

started eating. When he was done eating his food, he started to do his work. He checked the time and

it was 9:30

There is still some time left for Alissa to arrive. He was just thinking about Alissa. He was so fascinated

by her beauty. Time slowly passes and Alissa came to the office. As soon as she came Eric called her

to her cabin.

"Alissa I hope you have brought the required stuff with you which you have to take to meeting?"

"Yes sir" Alissa replied.

"Good, go and check out the email, which he must have send you, the address for the meeting. Write it

down somewhere and bring it with you" Alissa nodded and left.

Time passes and Eric stood up from his seat at 1:30 pm.

Cause the meeting will take place at 2:30 and Eric is punctual of time. He went to Alissa's cabin. He

thought for a second whether to knock or not. But as usual his ego of 'being the CEO' came in the way

and he without knocking on the door entered in her cabin.

Alissa looked shocked at first but quickly covered up her expression.

"We are leaving for the meeting" he stated and left.

Alissa took her pen and the small file in which she will write down the notes. Alissa came out of her

cabin and saw Eric waiting for her. She walked towards him and he pressed the button of the elevator.

The doors opened and they both stepped inside of it.

Alissa was feeling a little hot and uncomfortable. She was standing in the corner, looking like she is

trying to get inside of the wall, to Eric it seems like she is scared of him. Elevator seemed to take time

to go down today. Maybe it was just their imagination, cause they both are feeling uncomfortable.

Finally, the elevator came to stop and then doors opened. Alissa waited for Eric to go out of the

elevator but Eric put his hand out and gestured her to go first by saying

"Ladies first"

Alissa mouthed a 'thank you' and went out of the elevator and Eric came out behind her. Alissa slowed

her speed of walking to let Eric come in front. Eric told the receptionist that they are going for a

meeting. Eric went towards his Lamborghini and opened the door of the car for Alissa.

Why he is being such a gentleman today?

Alissa thought to herself. Eric came and sat on the driver's seat. He started the ignition and drove off.

"Alissa tell me the address" Eric said.

She took out her cell phone as she saved the address in her cell phone. She told him the address and

he nodded. The car ride was silent and it was getting awkward for both of them. So, Eric decided to put

on the radio The song which came made the atmosphere more tensed.

Private show by Little mix.

The song was playing and Eric didn't stopped the song, although he was also feeling uncomfortable.

We're touching, we're teasing

We don't need a reason

And I've got a feeling

That soon we'll be leaving

Right from the get go

You had me at hello

Can't wait so let's go

Cause you're the only one that's taking me home

Can't wait to get in my zone

Who said we got to go slow

Turn down the lights, and watch my private show

You got a ticket for all

To get high, we got to get low

Because this is your private show

Eric punched the stop button that it almost broke down. Alissa looked at it with wide eyes. She looked

at Eric who was clenching his jaw and frowning. Alissa's cheeks were heated up. Suddenly the car

came to a halt. She looked at the hotel, it was looking beautiful and high classed.

They both came out of the car and entered in the hotel. Eric talked to the receptionist and Eric and

Alissa went inside the elevator, they stopped at the floor '23' and came out of the elevator. They

entered in the conference room. There were only few people. Eric took a seat and Alissa took a seat

next to him. The meeting started in a few minutes. Mr.Smith was there, the centre of attraction.

The meeting continued for the next two hours. Alissa could feel that Eric was looking at her from the

side of his eyes. Her body was burning from the thought. She was writing all the important stuff. When

the meeting was finally over they all got up and Eric and Mr.Smith were talking on something. Alissa

was awkwardly standing behind Eric. When they stopped talking Eric gave him a handshake and they

both were heading outside but Mr.Smith stopped Alissa and said "Who is this beauty?"

Eric frowned but covered it up with a small smile.

"She is my PA" Eric said emphasising the word 'my'.

Alissa smile and Mr.Smith gave her a flirtatious smile. Eric glared him a little and left the room with

Alissa. They both head down and sat in his car.

"You don't have to talk to him" Eric announced.

"But I didn't talked to him sir" Alissa protests.

"I know, but when you are with me you can't even look at a person. Better keep this thing in your mind" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Eric said.

Alissa stared at him like he has grown two head.

Thinking what is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this? She don't want him to behave like he

cares for her. He is possessive towards her.
