A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 187

The moment Rome arrived at the staircase, he was met with K, staring at him with a smile on his lip.

"What excites you this morning?" Rome asked as he jammed his hands in his front pockets.

"Scar should be the one to tell you! He said he wanted to call, but he didn't want to disturb ma'am and you this early." K gaily uttered. "So he's awaiting you at the casino."

"Ok-kay,"

"I promise you it's good news."

With her hand slowly tracing down the stair handrail, Catherine softly smiled at K when their eyes met and asked, "What is the good news?"

As she stopped by him, Rome grabbed her by her waist, pulled her towards him, and looked into her darting eyes as he calmly intoned, "I wish I knew. But apparently, only Scar can tell it, so I'm heading to the casino to meet him."

"Okay." Catherine said, gently stroking her hand against his chest.

After staring quietly at Catherine for a moment, Rome slowly tugged a lock of her hair behind her ear and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"Kind of," Catherine said with a shaking smile.

"Do you want me to come along?"

"Thank you, but I'd rather do this alone."

Staring deep into her eyes, Rome paused for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Catherine said with a wide smile.

Reading the chemistry between both of them, K took a small step backward and then mumbled, "I will be outside."

Not waiting for a response, K turned around and hastily walked away.

"Don't hesitate to call me if you need to or want to, okay?" Rome said, keeping his gaze solely on hers.

"Yeah, I know, my superman." Catherine teased.

Then it got silent as their eyes kept fixed on each other without their lashes blinking.

Not holding back, Catherine tiptoed towards Rome's mouth, and when she felt his grip on her waist tighten, she gave a half-smile before resting her lips against his, claiming his bottom lip.

"Good morning, madam and sir!" Nora uttered as she walked towards Catherine and Rome.

Then her eyes widened when she reached them, and immediately, she turned around as she mumbled, "Oh! Pardon me."

A lovely giggle escaped Catherine's lips after she drew away from Rome.

"I might just clear my schedule and stay home today," Rome said with a straight face.

Narrowing her eyes at him, Catherine pulled from his arm and then mumbled, "You are going to work."

"Well, you are the boss, so I guess I'm going," Rome said as the corner of his lips pulled upward.

After a few hours' drive, Mr. Orlando finally stopped the car in front of the casino.

'She will be fine on her own, right?' Rome thought, unable to get rid of the sense of worry that was messing with his head and heart.

After K pulled the car door open, he then stepped out and walked into the building.

When Rome and K arrived in the casino a few minutes later and everyone saw him, it grew silent on the first floor and all eyes followed him as he headed upstairs without paying no mind to all the stares he was getting.

"Did you hear the 'big boss' took out someone last night?" A guy mumbled as he hit the billiard ball.

As the ball sunk into the hole, the other dude frowned. Then he rest his pool cue stick on the table and said, "I heard that it was because he tried to kill, boss."
