Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 49

The air within the confines of my office had turned a few degrees warmer since Dante had barged in to it. I could not tell if the heat was from the lack of air conditioning due to maintenance issues or if it was the sheer amount of warmth radiating from Dante himself.

His signature suit clung to his b*dy like a perfectly crafted, hand tailored, second skin that was made from the finest and most expensive quality materials and finishings. It was impeccable the difference a well made suit made on a man but having said that, I felt like Dante in all his physical glory, would make any piece of clothing look like a S*x icon.

As if he had read my thoughts, his own orbs darkened with mischief as he took a single step closer to me, squaring his shoulders to make himself look larger than he already had been. I couldn’t tell what it was but I some how felt like I had the upper hand between the two of us.

“Oh? I merely asked for a recount so that we are certain of the numbers before we go ahead and set that as the finally increase. I do not see what was wrong in my wanting to me thorough.” I pressed my l*ps in to a thin line as I watched him grin sarcastically.

“I could bet that you wouldn’t have asked for such careful reconsideration had the situation been the other way around.” He spat out and I smirked at him.

“And we both know how fond you are of striking bets.” His eyes darkened at my words.

“Just as much as you are of playing d*rty.” He retorted causing me throw an uninterested look his
