Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 27

When our eyes met, I felt a weird slam of recognition. The same thing had happened the first time I had met him. It was sort of a déjà vu feeling. Can you déjà vu a déjà vu incident?

He looked at his watch and frowned before looking back at me.

"Ms. Adams, I wasn't expecting you for another half hour."

"I know you said 8am sharp, but I like to be early. It gives me time to settle in and sip my coffee before the craziness of the day begins."

I smiled sweetly and hoped he didn't think I was weird. I really wanted Kyle Westin to like me and approve of my work. I've never really cared much what anyone thought of me as long as my secret stayed safe, but for some reason, it mattered to me now.

"Did you find the coffee maker and everything to your satisfaction? I can call Lily in here to show you around and how to use the thing if you want. Heck if I could ever figure it out myself."

He gave me a big smile that nearly melted my panties off. I hadn't even thought about the need to make him coffee, but of course that would likely fall under an assistant's responsibility.

"Of course, that would be great."

I expected him to walk into his office and perhaps place a phone call. I was more than a little

surprised when, instead, he poked his head out into the hallway and yelled. "Lil, get in here."

A petite brunette with similar hazel brown-green eyes to Kyle bounced into the room.

"Morning," she said as she stood on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
