The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 2

Aidan's POV

The elevator dings open and I move out of the elevator with my secretary trailing behind him. My phone is glued to my ears and my mouth is moving. I am on a call with a client.

I am not just the CEO of Salespush Textile Ltd but also one of the youngest billionaires in America. I own chains of businesses all over New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas, and even in China. I am the only heir to my father who is also a billionaire.

"We will meet next week, Mr. Alexander. I'll ask my secretary to book the appointment." I finalize as I keep walking towards my office.

"Alright, thank you", I utter and disconnect the call, after hearing the response from the other side.

It is just 11 am in the morning and I have attended two business meetings already, one of the meetings was within the company and the other was out-of office meeting.

I am just coming back with my secretary, Chloe whose hand is filled with lots of files. She isn't looking happy because of the loads of work to do before the close of the day.

"Get the work done and bring them to my office as soon as possible, Chloe", I stop walking and instruct her before opening my office door.

Chloe nods and walks to her cubicle in the opposite direction.

I heave a sigh of relief as I enter my office. I am damn tired already.

It's been three months since I last had a good time. Loads of work are having a toll on me already. Just the day before, I was feeling feverish.

When I stroll close to my seat, I slump in it and twirl the chair around after letting go of my suit.

I know this is what it takes to keep maintaining my position as the youngest billionaire in New York and one of the youngest billionaires in America and this is what I will keep doing. I don't want to disappoint my father who thinks I can't maintain this position without his help.

I have been the youngest billionaire for more than a year now but it has not been officially announced yet, except in magazines and fashion journals that have unreliable sources. The announcement is made every two years.

I am always attending business meetings upon meetings, strategizing new ways to move my business forward, and thinking of new ideas to invest in as well as establishing new companies in different parts of the world. I am already dominating America and China, while India and Philippines are my next target areas. I have a big dream and I am willing to achieve them all, no matter what it takes and how long it will take me.

The chair stops twirling and I open my laptop to begin work as always. The last time I went to a party with Richard, I knew I won't have time for such again for the rest of the year and the next time I will go to a party might be in a year. My work doesn't give me the time to enjoy or have fun, I am always working, even while at home.

I am going through some files online when I hear a knock on the door.

I look up and say. "Come in."

The door opens and Tessa walks in graciously. The door opens again and Chloe, my secretary, bursts in.

"I told her not to come in, sir", Chloe explains, breathing heavily.

"It's ok. You can go." I tell her. She nods and gives Tessa a cold glare before walking out.

"Hello to you, Aidan", Tessa smiles and walks up to me.

"What are you doing here, Tessa?" I ask with all seriousness. I have a lot to do and her presence will distract me.

"I came to see you, baby boy", she rounds the table and stops right in front of my desk.

"How is my baby boy doing?" She touches my mustache. I hit her hand away in annoyance.

"I thought I told you off the last time you were here. And how many times have I told you not to barge into my office the way you like?"

"Well, I knocked before coming in, didn't I?" She flashes me a smile.

I watch her carefully. Her lips are painted red. She is wearing blue long sleeves with a black skirt that is way too short. I know what she is here for. To seduce me as always.
