Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 41

“And that concludes our meeting this morning, gentlemen.” I said to the men seated around the table. “The plans for expenditure will be drawn up and finalised and we should be able to take it forward from there.” I turned the projector off by a press of a button on the remote that I held throughout this meeting.

The board room had emptied out after a short wait and I always made sure to be the last to leave the room but today I didn’t make haste in exiting the board room. Instead, I stayed back a little while longer allowing myself to drop the mask of composure I had maintained for the past hour and a half.

He offered me no explanation on the spot yet he had the audacity to try and contact me later that day. Obviously, I did not entertain his call and left it to ring but he never tried to contact me after that, much to my dismay

I glanced at the silver wrist watch I had on. Shit, I had another meeting with the marketing department in about ten minutes time. It wasn’t a major meeting like this morning’s once had been and I would just be seated there whilst the head of marketing carried us through the latest progressions.

I recomposed myself and fixed the mask of being neutral over my face before leaving the board. room and heading to my office to fetch a file with the meetings outline before I could head down to the marketing floor.

As I neared Lucy’s desk just outside my office, I noticed that her head had been down and she was focussed on some thing on her computer screen but the second she heard the sound of my approaching heels clink against the floor, she looked up to see who it had been.
