Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 78

A week had gone by and there was no sign not even a peep from Dante. It was like he had just fell of the face of the earth, initially, I thought that he had finally chosen to leave me alone and he was consciously staying away from me but when Hayley mentioned that he hadn’t stopped by to see her in days I began to think other wise.

He could have easily gone on a business trip and that would have been entirely normal but it was rather odd of him to have you and disappeared. I tried not to care reminding myself several times. that he was none of my concern but a small part of me was itching with curiosity.

Despite the need to know his whereabouts, I enjoyed the peace for a little bit and Dante being gone didn’t mean at all that Scott Vanderbilt had rested. His determination was impeccable and even after having recieved a bloodied nose and bruised chin, he walked through the office wearing his bruises like an armor as he offered to take me out to lunch.

I declined, obviously, and he left but when I found myself at the cafe grabbing a quick bite and Scott had been there himself fetching his own food, I had no excuse any more to not share a table with him. I didn’t believe it to be a coincidence at all that he was at the cafe.

Scott’s own business head quarters were on the other side of the city. The more popular and elite side, if you will. He had quite possibly never ever eaten from this cafe before that brunch meeting and I refused to believe that it had become his new favourite spot to take lunch at

He was too calculated. Too persistent. Too determined. And he had too much of time on his hands. One would think being a business man would require him to be busier and occupied with more commendable persuits but at his wealth level, money made itself.

I dragged myself out of my own thoughts as I placed a pair of gold hoop earrings through my lobes. It was still a little early and I had some toaster waffles and fruit already precut last night so I could enjoy a breakfast with Hayley. She had been missing Dante immensely even thought she tried not to show it too much but I saw the way her face would light up expectantly when Nancy would knock on the door and she would think that it was Dante even though he never ever dropped by so early in the morning.

I pretended like I didn’t notice and I tried to be with her a lot more so she didn’t feel his absence too much.
