A Trillionaire’s Revenge novel Chapter 13

Some weeks later. .

I feel ecstatic as the water pours all over my body. I squeeze my hair and rinse my face. The past few days have been the best days of my life. I truly never knew that I'd be so content and happy with how everything started with Luke.

Luke had made it more than obvious with not just his words but his actions showed that he truly loved me.

I had also fallen in love with this man, but I knew he wouldn't believe me if I told him. He would doubt my motives and although it would hurt for him to doubt me, I would totally understand if he did because I had broken his trust severally. It was solely up to me, to prove to him that I wasn't going to run away again and that my feelings were sincere.

Wearing a pencil skirt and a long sleeve blouse, I hurriedly brush my hair, side bangs. It was Monday morning and Luke would leave for the office any moment from now, so I hurriedly go downstairs. He's at the table talking to someone on his phone.

"Hey," He says as takes my hand and places a kiss on them. I smile in return, "How was your night?" I ask as my eyes fall on Laurel who has a huge frown plastered on her face.

"It was longer than usual, I guess"

"Who was that on the phone? More work?" I ask him, taking a bite of the pancake that lay before me.

"Yes, actually. My assistant just called in sick and requested for a leave of absence for five days"

"The whole week?"

"Yes," He replies, as he pours some orange juice in my glass.

"Thank you"

Laurel comes over and sits on the chair opposite me.

"Luke, I have an idea!" She holds his hands in hers as she talks. I frown as I look at their intertwined hands. "I could be your temporary assistant until she recovers. It's a good idea don't you think?" She says smiling and I get an idea.

"Well I don't see- I hold his arm and his attention gets diverted to me. "What about me? I really don't do anything here, Luke. I want to be your assistant. Also, there's an added benefit. We get to be together all day" I slowly rub my feet on his legs underneath the table and give him a smile.

He gives me a knowing look and turns to face Laurel who's giving me dirty looks. "Laurel there's so much to be done at home and I'm sure Emmanuele would need your help and your company. My wife will work with me" He says and I smirk. He will always choose me before you. I say internally.

"It's settled then. When do I start?"

"Tomorrow. I have to go now.”
