The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 3

My alarm clock ringing beside my bed woke me up at exactly 6:30 a.m. I stood up sluggishly from the bed as I have a morning run to do before getting ready for work, as I don't want to be late for my first day at work.

After changing out of my sleepwear I put on my running joggers and pink tan top with a running shoe and plug in my earphones ready for my run.

I've been running for 10 minutes, when I suddenly sense someone running quietly behind me. I was tensed and scared as I turn back to behold a beauty, she's beautiful with a blonde long hair.

"Hi good morning, I'm Debbie. I've never seen your face in this neighborhood" she blah blah on expectantly trying to recall if she has seen me or not?.

"Hello! good morning to you too, I'm Nina just move in yesterday".

"Really? WOW!! welcome to our neighborhood I live alone at block D"

"Ok, nice meeting you too, I live at block F" I told her as I continue running cuz I was almost late for work.

"Gotcha later" Debbie said smilingly as she retreated to her house and I ran in the opposite direction to mine.

I arrive at my office at exactly 7:30am, to meet pile of files waiting for me to sort out. I guess the Last journalist left a lot of work for me to do.

I was busy sorting out files into the cabinet when the door suddenly open, I was on my knees my back facing the door so I couldn't see the person that come in until I stood up and turn to see a man in his forties smiling at me with an outstretched hands.

" Welcome to Mason's Media, miss Miller" I'm the general manager and I came to welcome you officially to our company."

He was licking his lips as he was undressing me with his eyes. I know his type. I smile at him showing my perfectly set teeth.

" Thank you Mr? " I look at him waiting for him to supply me his name. Which he did with another sexy growl.

" Mr Shawn Mendel"

"Thank you Mr Shawn Mendes" if you excuse me I will like to sort out this ?" I told him as I gesture to the files on the floor.

"Ok miss Miller, have drop some document with your secretary, read and work on it , cos the big boss need it urgently" He said as he walk to the door and went out.

The day flew by quickly and before I know it, I was heading home driving my white Honda CR-V car, my dad has gifted me for my 26th birthday.

Immediately I got home, I parked my car in the

garage and took the elevator to the fifth floor, and open the door to my penthouse room.

I dropped the file I have picked up from my secretary and my bag on the couch and went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

After eating, I put a call through to Lily. It rang for three time before she pick it up.

"Hey! Baby girl" She called drowsily, obviously just waking up from sleep.

"Hi! I'm sorry to disturb you. How's your shopping going?"

"OK. But I'm still annoyed with you" she replied sounding more awake now.

"I'm sorry. I'm just bored here . How's Danny"

"He's good. Are you just returning from work?"

"Not really. About an hour ago "I reply looking at the time.

"So how was your first day at work?"..

"It was fun. I get to meet new faces and most especially I met a new friend"

"Really?. So you are replacing me already. So quick, I'm not even married yet" she said feigning annoyance.

I laugh heartily" You're so funny Lily. Her name is Deborah and she's my neighbor"

"Wow!. That's good, now I can have fun knowing that you won't be alone like you are right now"

I smile. Leave it to Lily to worry about me. I heard the doorbell" Lily, I have to go, it seems someone is at my door".

"OK. Be careful. Bye". She hung up as I went reluctantly to the door. I open it to meet Debbie standing there smiling.

"Hi!. Hope I did not disturb you, I'm bored at home, so I thought why don't I come and meet you" she said quickly without stopping a bit.

"No. It's OK" I said, opening the door wider to usher her in.

"What would you like to take" I asked her as she sat down on the couch.

She look up at me and smile"Anything?. Like juice and chocolate"

"On the way" I call excitedly as I ran into the kitchen to go get what she wants.

We are currently playing truth and dare between the both of us.

"Truth or dare" Debbie ask immediately she spin the bottle and it stop in front of me.

"Truth?" I said a little bit nervous. It been long have played" truth or dare" since I was still working at Lily's club in Italy.

She look up as she thought about what to ask me, I grew nervous the more " How many times have you had sex" she finally asked and I let out a breath.

"Once" I replied immediately, I didn't see anything wrong with my answer but that was no the case for Debbie.

"What!?" He hands still on the bottle as she look at me shocked. I look at her embarrassed.

"It's not---- like---- emm---- I----" I give up cos I wasn't able to form any words that make sense. I took the bottle from her and spin it, it stopped at her front.

"Have you ever been in love with two men"I asked her. She smiled.

"Yes. Sort of." She look at me seriously" How did you know?"

"Nothing. Just figure that you are beautiful and must have had men falling over themselves to date you" I said, making her to laugh excitedly.

"So what did you do?" She look at me like she couldn't comprehend what I was saying.
