Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 75

The next few days had flown by in a blink of an eye.

Between juggling work along with the checking up on the plans and how they were going for the upcoming event and trying to maintain and set the tone of professionalism with Scout Vanderbilt, I really didn’t know where all the time had gone to so much so that it had completely sl*pped my mind to find something to wear for the evening.

Scott Vanderbilts reputation was pretty well–known, however I don’t think anyb*dy actually knew just how well the man had been aware of himself along with the tactics that he used to either impress or get under a woman’s skin.

the man would refuse at every chance to meet formally at the office building despite how much Lucy would reason with him he would find a way to set up a meeting outside the bonds of what made up the office building, even for the smallest issues such as signing documents or discussing the particulars and how things worked with him now joining the team he refused to have it done formally.

it didn’t have any sort of desired effect on me. if anything it had only served to irritate me. Our very first meeting had been held at the marina, the second one he had insisted that it take place at one of his many hotel bars, with the most recent one that I was yet to attend being at the local cafe just down the street. if it were left to him, he would have us served lunch in a private room at his penthouse but I refused and insisted on the cafe close to work.

Scott, as much as he were rich and handsome, he was also very persistent with a one track mindset when he set his attention on some thing he wanted. I didn’t like to acknowledge it too much and I tried my best to remain as stoic and formal with him as I could manage. Perhaps it would take some time and he would eventually give up when he realised that he was wasting his time.

The more I dealt with the man, the clearer things became. I knew now why Adam had said what he did and it all added up as to why Dante was so opposed to him. It was because they knew just how tactful and plotting Scott could be. I assumed men knew more about each other than what even the media could extort

fortunately for me at this point in my life there had only been two things that matter to me most. the first being Hayley and the second being this company. I would never fall into Scott’s traps especially since I knew just how fast news about him spread. if he was so much a spotted with any woman in an unlikely and unfavorable situation that suggested anything other than propriety, it became the talk of the entire city spreading like wildfire would no means of clean up except for time where he would find another woman to cause a scandal with.

is Scott so much as assumed that I was going to be that woman then he was entirely wrong about me. I just needed to survive this event and then I would hardly see him let alone here from him once the formality had been concluded, even if he did drop by to check–in on things I could easily hand him over to Lucy or one of the other executives of the company to show him around and answer his questions.

Until then, I glanced at my watch before looking at the cafe door, I had to deal with the man for the next half an hour at least.

Scott Vanderbilt entered the quaint cafe and looked every bit as our of place as one would imagine. It was like looking at a bull in a fine china store. Every head turned to attention at his presence and he watched like some prized possession, a Greek god, a spectacle, as he strided over in a three piece suit which had been a first in times I had interacted with him.

It went without saying that he wore it to perfection. It defined his b*dy like a second skin yet was still a good enough fit that it didn’t look uncomfortable or tight. His hair was styled back like he was some mafia lord and as he spotted me at the table, his l*ps spread in to a smug grin whilst his eyes raked over my face and n*eck, and even though my n*eckline was not by any means low, it now felt like it. It was a good thing that the rest of me was hidden by the table.

“Nice to see you as always, Sophia. My name’s rolled of his tongue like velvet against steel.

“It is good to see you, too, Mr Vanderbilt. I emphasized the formality of his name and the corners. of his eyes tightened but I saw the fire grow as it fueled his need for the chase.

“Please, take a seat. We have much to discuss with very little time. I warned him hoping he’d not waste my time but when he chuckled lightly I knew that he might already have.

“There is nothing to discuss. I had your assistant send me the particulars via email. My lawyers have read it and I have already signed the documents. He paused to glance as his expensive watch. “It should be getting sent back to your office right about now.” He dropped his wrist to his lap and I gritted my teeth together.

I tried to remain calm and not let my irritation show on my face. As much as he was overbearing, he was still a very vital, beneficial individual for my company. I didn’t owe him any thing but I could ruin all of it if I was an ass.

I managed a stiff smile. “I see. That is rather efficient of you.” The tightness in my voice was inevitable. “Then why are we here? I’m sure you have much to do, as do I. I felt my face tightened and he saw it, too.

I’m sure you can afford me that, at least.” He said with a smile that might have worked on the sea full of women before me but did
