Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 74

After snacking on some pastries, I thought Hayley and Dante would delay a little bit before heading out to dinner seeing as they wouldn’t have been hungry already but I guess Dante didn’t want to be in the same space as me. After I wiped down the crumbs from the marble counter, Dante had already helped Hayley with her shoes and a jacket before I could even leave the kitchen.

It was a fast move on his side and I was a little unprepared for it but I wasn’t about to make a fuss about it. Hayley gave me a hug and a k*ss before she left through the doors with Dante and I didn’t quite feel to call it a day just yet. Since I had left the office a little earlier than usual this afternoon, it was still bright outside.

I reached for my phone as I headed out side to enjoy the breeze and compose the email I had in mind. It was part of company tradition to hold an intimate introductory event for newly stakeholders. The reason for this was to get every one accustomed to each other and create a sense. of familiarity between fellow investors and myself and allowing a sense of involvement to senior contributors.

the email had taken me a full hour to compose but it had been a rather extensive and inclusive email containing all that we need to be taken care of. I thought it better that the sooner the introductory event took place the better it would be since it would allow everyone to move forward. I compiled a list of all the guest that should be invited along with the dates set for this upcoming Friday evening. I picked a venue that was still pretty Central to the city but not nearly as large enough then was necessary.

as I concluded this email I realized just how much work would have to be done from booking a caterer to taking care of the decor to other small intricate details that could not go on unattended. despite the small worry that came with hosting such an event I also felt a sense of excitement as I once again realized what a boost this was celebrating.

as a rounded off the email then send it to Lucy so that she could begin taking care of a few things I wanted if Dante would even show up, it was’evident that he did not particularly like Scott. Vanderbilt and even if Adam had been correct in assuming that part of the reason was because Dante was uncomfortable with Scott around me I still couldn’t help but wonder if he would be petty enough i to show up. After all the entire event would be in honor of Scott himself and though that may not be clearly stated outright it was still the sole reason for it.

Perhaps he would surprise everyone and actually show up. Dante has been the company’s most vital investor for a good few years. not to mention that he also had a reputation to maintain to the public where it came to his business relationships and they couldn’t imagine that he would risk bad publicity over his male ego.

in any case I was sure that invites for the event would be sent out by tomorrow and Dante was sure to express his approval or lack thereof before that I shrugged, reminding myself that I didn’t care what he did over the he showed up or didn’t. all I was worried about was the image of my company and the last impression that I want to give off was that the company overlooked it’s old investors once new and more attractive ones joined.

by the time I had decided to wake up and head back into the house the sun had already dipped far beyond the horizon then I could see and the sky had grew darker.

I pulled out a few ingredients from the fridge to make myself a sandwich with every intention of devouring it while I watched whatever sitcom would tickle my fancy to serve as background noise. however just as I was heading towards the living room there was a knock on my door. I found and placed my sand which down onto the coffee table before glancing at the clock. it was still fairly early for Dante and Hayley to return back from dinner but I headed towards the front door to see who it was anyways.

I was surprised to see a uniform dressed delivery boy holding the largest arrangement of lilies and white roses all organized with the perfect balance of greenery, the wicker basket that it had been necessed into was even more prettier.

“Good even, ma’am. I have a delivery for you. The young man, who was definitely no older than twenty–three handed the basket to me which I had taken with a smile despite my utter confusion.

“Thank you.” I said before he handed a delivery form for me to sign which I did as I tried to carry the heavy arrangement in one hand and sign with the other.

I shut the door and carried the basket of fragrant, bloomed lilies mixed with the soft scent of the white roses to the side table against the wall of the foyer. I let out a huff as 1 stood back to properly inspect it when I saw the little envelope in the middle.

I reached for it and opened it before sliding the card out that read:

These reminded me of you..
