The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 29

I walk briskly into my office as aurora scramble out of her office to follow me.

“Sir! Sir!!. Mr. Alexandro is here to see you,” she said rushing to keep up with my stride.

I opened the door to my office and walk-in banging it loudly in her face. I don't care if it hits her on the face or not. She opens the door and walks in slowly with her head bowed.

“I will like to be alone Aurora. I don't want to see anyone for now ” I said without looking up at her as I stood with my back to her staring outside the window.

“But____________”

“Get out!!” I shouted at her. She ran out of my office scared as I sat down on my cushion chair resting my head frustrated and tired.

I should probably hate Nina Miller right now but why am I still staring at her pictures on my phone. I've been trying to reach her for the past four days now and she just won't pick my calls.

We didn't fight rather she was the one who offends me, then why is she getting angry with me unnecessary?.  My hand reaches out to open the left drawer and pull out the company's magazine with our pictures on it as I gaze into her smiling face looking up at me with so much love and affection.

If only I knew this was going to happen I wouldn't have accepted for her to visit my parents for lunch. I can't believe that this is happening to me, it seems like yesterday when she was laughing in my arms.

My phone ringing pulls me out of my thoughts as I swore under my breath. Picking up the phone I saw that it was my dad calling. What does he want again?. Sometimes, I wish I was just a regular boy with a regular job not a CEO of a funcking company.

“Hello dad,” I called into the phone after picking it up, I stood up from my desk and stroll to stand in front of the window.

“Michael, how are you?” My dad tired voice greeted me. He's probably just waking up from the bed as yesterday was their wedding anniversary. Knowing my mom, she would insist on them to travel out.

“I'm good dad, how was yesterday?” I asked him, as I mentally slapped myself for not calling him earlier to ask about his trip.

“Stressful” He replied sounding out of breath and continue“you know how your mother is, that woman has so much energy when it comes to partying” I smile remembering how mom is when it comes to a party. She loves anything fun.

“Sorry, dad. Anything the matter” I asked him wondering why he called, I was slightly getting impatient. I just want to get this done quickly so I could lose myself in my thoughts as that is the only place I could be with Nina away from everyone who is against our love.

“Yes. Mr. Melton just spoke with me on phone now ” He said, immediately I heard Mr. Melton, I cursed under my breath wondering what he wants again? Hasn't he done enough damage?.

“The interview has been shifted earlier to tomorrow. So prepare cos you will be having an interview with Nina Miller and Deborah Melton tomorrow ” My heart skips a beat as I heard her name. At least I will be able to look at her face pending the time of the interview. But why tomorrow?

“But_____Why soon? Dad,” I ask him voicing out my thought. The interview has initially been slated for a week before our wedding in January so why now?.

“There's absolutely a reason but you will find out tomorrow”

“But dad I__________”

“I don't know know what is wrong with you children of nowadays” He continues like he didn't hear what I said before hanging up. What does he mean by that?, well that's up to him I don't care.

I dropped the phone on my table as I imagine Nina's face tomorrow. She will surely not be happy with the interview. I was never in support of this right from the beginning. Shouldn't they have found someone else to conduct the interview? Why Nina?.

“Yes Aurora,” I said harshly into the intercom as soon as I pick it up, she just wouldn't stop calling.

"What part of I don't want to be disturbed, do you not understand" I shouted at her as her voice quiver on the phone.

"I'm-s-orry-sir" She stutters fearfully, as I try to control my temper, Aurora did not offend me, I shouldn't take it out on her.

"Miss Thomas is here to see you. She said it's urgent"

I run my hands tiredly through my hair, what does Lilian want" Send her in" I replied as I drop the call.

The door opens almost immediately as Lillian walk in looking so vibrant as ever.

"Lillian," I said as I greeted her going around to peck her on her cheek.

"Michael?" She acknowledges me back as she sat down on the chair opposite me.

"Congratulations. Danny told me of your pregnancy” I said immediately I was back on my seat gazing at her.

She blushes slightly, but soon pull herself together I guess she's not used to receiving compliments" thank you"

“What brought you to this street at this time of the day?" I said as I lay back on my chair, watching her curiously.

"I wanted to see you" She replied as she straightened up."What's going on between you two?" She asked after some time.

"To be honest with you Lilian, I don't know" I reply frustrated with everything "One minute we were happy in my parents' house, the next minutes she wasn't there anymore".

Lillian looks at me like she wanted to say something but after some time she merely said: "Have you tried talking to your mom about it?"
