Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 29

My morning alarm went off at its usual time but I hit snooze only for it not to ring again. Through my slumber, the amount of sleep that I was getting began to become suspicious. My eyes flew open and I searched the bed for my phone. Once I found it next to the pillow, I checked the time and instantly swore under my breath.

Kicking my legs over the side of the bed, I quickly rushed to the bathroom and took the most brief shower I had ever taken in my entire life. I changed up just as fast in to a pair of formal pants and chiffon blouse with ruffle detailing along my n*eckline.

chaos of the morning had still not worn off before I had been thrown in to an unexpected. meeting with a few of the newly recruited investors but luckily Nancy had whatever I needed to know all compiled in to a folder.

The meeting lasted a while and by the end of it I was famished. Breakfast was not some thing I had the luxury of this morning due to my negligence but I was determined to rectify it before I could go on with the rest of the day.

I walked out of the boardroom and handed a file with notes back to Lucy which she took along with the instructions I left for her to draw up new contracts for the investors. It was a positive start to the day despite the rocky way it began. New investors meant more money which would be used properly in achieving the goals and proving Dante Crawford wrong.

His bet still stood and I was determined now more than ever to see to it that me, and the company, emerged victorious against his bet.

I headed to my office and grabbed my bag right when my phone began to ring. I fished it out of my bag and saw Adams number flash across the screen.

“Well, well, well, look who finally called.” I said placing the phone to

my car.

“What can I say, you’re not the only trying to sort out business.” He joked back and I chuckled. leaning my hip against the edge of my desk.

“Work is keeping you busy then. I thought the American dealings were complete.” I said since that was what he had last said to me about it.

“It is but now it’s time to sort out the specifics.” He sighed like he was already exhausted. “Any ways, are you busy now? I was just about to drop by at your office.” I could hear the chatter of people. around him as he spoke.

“Actually, I have a better idea. I’ll meet you in the lobby. I was heading out for a late breakfast anyways. You might as well come with.” I suggested moving to the door.

“I could use an espresso and a snack.” He agreed and the elevator doors opened to take me down to the lobby.

The cafe we visited was the usual one I always ate at since I got back. It was convenient being so close to the office building and the food was behind decent. The whole cafe was done up to fit in to the recent standards or being aesthetic.
