The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 58

I strolled into the Thompson's Empire the next morning with a heavy heart. After receiving a call from Michael to meet him at the office, I couldn't help wondering what could be wrong?

I smiled immediately I remember the prank I pulled on my bodyguards this morning, Gosh! I'm so clever…

“Good morning Miss Miller. I'm Aurora, I will escort you to Mr Thompson's office” I came out of my thoughts to see a young girl speaking to me.

I was skeptical while trying to remember where I probably would have met her. My brain has been fussy after the accident, I have problem remembering some things.

“I'm sorry, Aurora but do I know you?” I asked her as I watch her slowly.

“Sure, Miss Miller. I'm Mr Thompson's personal assistant” Aurora replied causing me to nod my head at her. I clenched my fists together as I brush past her.

I suddenly remembered Michael telling me that he had slept with her before. Gosh! I can't believe the nerve of that man. Did he have to sleep with every women in New York to be rich…

“Miss Miller, I'm sorry if I've offended you” Aurora's panicked voice called to me as she tried to keep up with me. I wanted to stop just to let it go, I mean it happened a long time ago, no need holding grudges but my subconscious wouldn't allow it, she keeps on walking fast until we were in front of Michael's door.

I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I pushed the door opened slowly and walk in. I was surprised, Michael was not in his office. Where could he have gone to? But he called me to meet him at the office this morning. Is he in a meeting?

“I'm sorry, Mr Thompson is having a secret meeting in the other room. If you would allow me, I will excort you there” Aurora's voice cut me out of my thought.

I turned to stare at her as she was standing behind me with her hands folded across her chest. I could sense the hatred aura ozing out of her but I don't care. Michael is mine, I can't be competing with Deborah and also competing with Aurora. No! Never.

“Fine, lead the way” I told her with my chin held high. It high time I stopped behaving like the victim. I need to show them that I can't be stepped on. I've been through death and back, I can accomplish anything I set my mind to and my first accomplishment will be Michael

Aurora nodded as she walked into Michael's office fully and turned to lead the way to a painting. She removed the painting revealing a hidden door on the wall, she opened the door and motion for me to go in.

I stood gasping at the hidden door before I summoned courage to go in while also wondering why Michael will need another room in his office? Is this where he slept with all his women?

I walked down the stairs in the dark room, my heart was in my mouth as I walked slowly. The door opened into a room with a bed, but Michael was not there either. I pass through the room down the hall to the sitting room where I could hear voices. I walked into the room to see Andrea, John and another man I didn't recognize they were discussing with Michael but they all paused to stare at me…

“Nina, I'm glad you could make it. Please, have your seat” Michael's voice pulled me from gasping at the men in the room. I turned to stare at him looking handsome in beige suit and a white turtleneck top. I gulped as I forced my legs to the chair beside him.

“I'm sure you are familiar with Andrea and John. That's is Donald but Don for short” Michael replied as I smiled at both Andrea and John. John responded by waving his hands to me. I turned to look at the man Michael introduced as Don. He looked so familiar, where I've I met him? Yes at my dad's factory.

My eyes widened as I shoot up from the couch “ You, I've met you before. I did saw you at my dad's factory and______”

“Yes. I sent him to watch after you went I first suspected Austin was trying to murder you” Michael replied as I nodded and sat down. I can't believe someone was watching me all those time. No wonder I was always feeling be watched…

“Thank you so much” I told Don with a smile on my face. I can't believe Michael tried to make sure that I was alright…

“I don't deserve your thank you ma'am. I failed to carry out my duty which lead to your accident. Rather, I'm the one who's sorry” Don apologized to me. I wanted to point out that he was wrong but I chose to ignore it…

“I'm sure you are wondering why I asked you here?” Michael asked me. I nodded, that has been on my thought all morning since I dropped his call.

“I've decided to give it a try. I mean by using you as a _____” Michael paused as he struggled to control his emotions as I wonder what's going on with him..

“I've tried everything to bring Austin to justice but none of it is working. That's why I decided to go with your suggestion since that's the only way to apprend him. Though I'm not fully in support of it. I mean I will be sending you to the den of the enemies and I'm not glad. What if something happened to you? I won't be able to forgive myself?”

“Nothing is going to happen to me, Michael. Moreover, if I don't make a move first, I'm sure Austin or Deborah are already making plans to get me” I replied looking at each of them. I felt like crying, I mean they are all working together to make sure I'm okay. The best I could do is bring an end to all these problems.

Michael nodded to John who stood up to go bring something outside. He walked in with a parcel in his hands, he handed it to Michael wordlessly before going back to his seat.

“Here” Michael said and gave me the parcel. I collected it from him and turned it over in my hands curiously.

“What is this?” I asked Michael before turning to look at Andrea who shrugged like telling me to wait for Michael to say to that…
