The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 18

I woke up to the sun kissing my face softly and the gentle breeze that billows the window blind bringing in the scent of freshly baked chocolate cookies. I smile in my dream. I can't believe I'm imagining chocolate in my sleep.

The door opens and close, I sit up surprise written all over my face as I wonder who opened my door. My eyes adjusted as I look around the bedroom. This is not my room, where am I?.

Michael walks in carrying a tray of hot chocolate cookies and a glass of wine. He drops it on the bed and pecks me on the cheek.

“Good morning, Angel,” He said, the bed dip as he sat down beside me. He was putting on a red boxer and a white singlet. I never could have imagined him in this, I smile shyly as I remember what we did yesterday. That was the second-best night of my life.

“Eat! Before it gets cold ” He commanded as he frowns at me playing with the cookies. I ate the food quickly, then went to the shower. When I returned Michael has brought in a change of clothes for me.

I look at him surprised “When did you get this?”

He looks down shyly “ I bought it for you, for your 26th birthday ” I looked at him shocked. He remembered my birthday. Why?.

“Because he loves you, dumbhead,” My subconscious said, shaking her head at me probably wondering why she's stuck with me.

I smile as I hug him tightly “ Thank you, Michael, I love it ”.

I put it on, it was an orange pencil skirt with a floral armless top. I put on my shoes and grab my bag. Remembering that I left my car at his company yesterday, I wonder how I will get to work.

“Your car is at your place,” Michael said like he could read my thoughts “ Frank will take you to work and will pick you up when you are through ” He walks me out into the elevator that will take us to the garage.

“I can go home by myself after work ”

“No, but I want you here with me ” He turns back to face me.

“Michael?” I asked him confused.

“I know it working day, but this feeling is new to me and I don't know why I want you to come back here. Have never had any woman here ” He said as he ran his hands through his hair, frustrated.

“Not even Deborah?”

“Yes, not even her ”

“I still won't come back ” I reply, his face fell as he walks into the garage.

“But I can come at weekends, if you'll want me to ” The smile spread across his face as his grin, making him look younger. I love his smile.

“Fair enough ” He opens the car door for me and I climb in “ Call me when you get to work and when you get home, be careful ” He peck me and close the door as he turns to walk back into the house, while Frank drove me to my office.

I walk into melton's media, as many heads turned to stare at me. I don't even know why they're all staring at me. is it the after-sex glow? all the expensive clothes I was putting on.

"Good morning, Miss Miller. You look beautiful this morning" Divine greeted me immediately I walk into my office floor.

"Thank you Divine"I open the door to my office to see Lilian seated and waiting patiently for me. She turned to look at me, she gasps as she rubs her hands on her face" Gosh!. You are so dramatic, Lilian" I said as I walk around my chair and sat down.

"Girl. is it only me or you are glowing and looking so radiant this morning?"

"Is only you" I reply as I snorted at her smiling.

"No, I don't think so. that aside, where were you last night?"

"At Michael's, "I said it natural, as I turned to arrange files on my desk. Lillian's silence made me raise my head to look at her. she was shocked with her mouth open.

"You better shut your mouth or flies may make their way into it, "I told her sarcastically.

She claps her hands together"wait let me get this straight. you slept at Michael's Place yesterday night?". I nodded. she screams jumping up and down. why is she so excited?.

"Wait until I tell Danny I can't believe I've just won myself a million dollars more". She took out her phone from her purse and she tried to dial Danny's number I collected it from her and look at her shocked" You both bet a million dollars on Michael and me?"

"Of course" she shrugs and sat down like it was nothing. "So tell me, I want it in detail, how was it?" she said smiling.

"Nothing" I reply just as her face fell but she recovers very fast.

"Don't even tell me nothing, the first time you did it you didn't even tell me anything, so I want complete details now," she said using her persuasive voice.

"Ok, It was good," I said as I blush furiously. She stood up to come and hug me smiling"I'm so happy for you Nina," She said with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for being there for me too Lillian"I reply as I hug her back.

"Ok. Enough of our tears, do you think we will have a double wedding?" She asks smiling. leave it to Lillian to always plan.

"Lillian? it's barely a day that I and Michael reconcile and you are already planning a double wedding?"

"Why? why? I can see that you both love each other so why the delay?"

"There are many things to consider; his family, Mia's case, and most especially he hasn't asked me yet"I reply blushing red.

"He will soon pop the big question," She said smiling"Anyway I need to be going. Take care of yourself" She walked out of the door why I rest my back on the chair and close my eyes.

My phone ringing made me open my eyes, I checked the caller's ID to see Michael calling. God, I've forgotten to call him.

"Hello" I call Shyly into the phone as soon as I pick it up.

"Are you in the office?"Michael ask concerned.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't call I was with Lillian"

"It's okay just wanted to know if you've gotten to work safe"

"Yes, I'm ok where are you?"
