The Billionaire’s Fight For Redemption (Noah and Sierra) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

“What about me?”

“Tell me something not stressful or sad.”

He laughs, running a hand through his hair. “Well… I like cooking. And I’m terrible at following recipes, so everything either turns out amazing or inedible.”

I grin. “That’s adorable.”

“I’ll let you try the edible ones someday.”

Heat blooms in my cheeks before I can control it, and for a second, I can barely look him in the eye. I feel like

teenager.

The conversation flows, effortlessly. We talk about music, embarrassing childhood stories, bad fashion choices, and favorite late–night snacks. He’s easy to be around.

I remember when I we first met at the clinic. Yes, he drew my attention but he gave off the broody kind of vibes. I never imagine there was this other side of him.

When the drinks arrive, he waits for me to take the first sip before he touches his.

We end up sharing a slice of chocolate cake, forks scraping at the plate as we laugh over some story about his younger brother stealing his shoes in high school.

At one point, I lean my elbow on the table, half turned toward him, and I realize something unexpected, I haven’t this comfortable, around a man in a long time.

I don’t date, but when I do find myself on a blind date, Lilly organized, the man has never been able to catch my attention and keep it. Most of the time, my mind was always on how quick I can leave.

The sunlight shifts outside as evening approaches, and the glow around him softens. His gaze drifts to my face sometimes, lingering but not in a way that makes me uncomfortable. In a way that feels like appreciation. Like awe. Like he can’t believe I exist.

Time slips by until I finally glance at my phone.

6:02 p.m.

“Oh,” I breathe. “I didn’t realize…”

“Neither did I.” He sounds almost disappointed.

I stand, smoothing my dress. He stands too.

“It was really nice having your company, Sierra,” he says, smiling with his eyes.

“Yeah,” I whisper, smiling. “It really was. I’m so glad I agreed to this.”

His smile broadens, and I can’t help being drowned in those hazel brown orbs.

“I don’t think I’ve enjoyed someone’s company, this much, in a long time.”

I wink, warmth feeling my chest. “Right back at you, Adrian”

He walks with me to the door, but before he can walk me out, I stop him.

“You don’t have to walk me out. I’m good.”

I didn’t want him to see the driver. I had yet to tell the driver to pick me, up, but still. Just in case he was around.

“Are you sure?”

I nod. “Thank you, though.”

He hesitates like he wants to argue but eventually he lets me go.

“Okay then, have a lovely evening Sierra. I hope to see you soon”

“You too, Adrian.” I tell him, and for a moment I debate whether I should hug him, but then I think against it and leave after giving him one last stare.

When I get outside and don’t spot the driver anywhere, so I pull out my phone to order an Uber. Once it’s been confirmed, I begin walking toward the parking lot across the road. 3
