LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

“I am not!” Her tone was firm and harsh, startling Derrick.

“Chill out girl, was just trying to make you feel better” he explains.

“didn’t ask for it” She shrugged off her shoulder, not wanting to listen. She knows she means absolutely nothing to him but his leaving without saying anything to her is a slap to her face. At least, she deserves to know, like everyone else living in this godforsaken mansion.

“Now you are being rude!” Derrick takes a long stride, following her inside.

“No, I am not” She denies.

“What’s wrong? you know you can tell me anything” Derrick has always been a reasonable and understanding gentleman but today just wasn’t the time.

“nothing ok, just let me be” she declares firmly. Derrick froze on his spot, staring at her. He couldn’t believe she just talked to him like that as if he was no one important. Maybe he isn’t but at least, for someone willing to hear her out, she should have been a bit nicer.

“already! No more bugging you on the same question” He surrenders. Smiles knows she’s been hard on him, and she feels bad.

“Why are you like this?” she questions gazing at the man before her, sitting on a royal blue sofa.

“How am I?” he raised a brow.

“So caring… and understanding… even though I tried to push you away just now, you never got mad” She explains.

“Is that a compliment or a way of saying sorry for being a Narcissist?” He raises a brow. She knew he was right and there was just no way she could deny it.

“no,” She said in a defeated tone.

“so, do I have your forgiveness?” She stares at the man before her who seems to be thinking about something.

Can you not keep me hanging?” She said feeling irritated by the fact that he didn’t say a word and just kept on staring at her as if trying to figure her out.

Why should I? It’s not like you can be trusted anyways, “he said looking away from her. Faking an angry face.

This got Smiles fuming in anger.

“fine! I don’t need your damn forgiveness if you like to keep it to yourself and eat it all” She yells. She crosses her hands over her chest, frowning. She has a whole lot of mood swings. He stares at her in awe, amazed.

“Trying to be friendly and considerate sometimes is just not worth it…” He stood up and started making his way out. Smiles knew she was over it. She can’t possibly let him go, or else she will slowly die of boredom in this big and empty house. Not even the Butler is friendly to talk to. It’s like a ghost house.

She rushes to his side and holds onto his arms, stopping him from moving any further.

“Come on, I’m sorry… you didn’t take that to heart, did you?” She blinks at him cutely. Her amber-blue eyes stare at him pleadingly. The sight of her cuteness overloads Derrick’s memory. who could dare still be on his feet with those cute eyes of hers? He sighs in defeat.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you want from me now?” he asked. Smiles was very happy seeing him giving in, she didn’t know it would be this easy. She can’t even tell why she did that, but she did it anyway.

“don’t go, please… I can’t take it anymore… this house and everything… I am dying silently from its boredom ” She explains. Derrick knew what she wanted but still pretended to be clueless.

“so, what does it have to do with me?” He raises a brow. She bites her lips anxiously. There was just nothing left to say.

“get dressed” He informs. The girl’s once anxious face Brightened up. She rushed upstairs to her room and quickly got a change of clothes.

Where to?” She asked excitedly, rushing down the stairs like a child.

“you better slow down, ’cause I won’t be responsible for any injury inquired” He informs. He wasn’t smiling but deep down, he was happy he made her smile genuinely for the first time.

Where to?” she asked again when she was beside him.

“you ask a lot…” He walks out of the mansion with Smiles blabbing excitedly behind.

“Come on now, get in” He rubs on her hair creating a mess.

“Stop, will you? I ain’t no kid of yours” She stated the fact. He chuckles, finding her cute. Her pouting lips were as though she wasn’t given her favorite candy.

“your mouth should learn to stay quiet” He walks around and takes his seat, before kicking off.

The car was immersed in total silence. She stares at the places, enjoying the beautiful view of the City. “Indeed New York is a sight to behold, d,” She thought inwardly to herself. He stops in front of a restaurant. It was a luxurious and expensive place, no ordinary man would dare to come to such a place.

“wow!!!” she exclaims with her mouth open wide. She took her seat by his side.

“It’s so freaking beautiful” she whispers to his ear. Derrick didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“your first time?” He asked and she nodded yes.

“No doubt,” he murmurs thoughtfully.

What?” She asked. Staring at him. “thought I heard you say something” She further explained and he just waved, smiling.

They ordered their lunch. It was a happy moment for Smiles to finally be herself again. Unlike Keane, Derrick was a casual and understanding person. They chatted while eating and that was more than fun to her. They even had a topic of discussion. But with Keane, it’s like it’s two dead people eating. With everyone minding their business, how boring!

When Derrick is done, he glances at his wristwatch and gulps his wine.

“heading somewhere?” came smiles, sweet and delicate voices.

“got a meeting to attend” He informs. He calls on the waiter and settles their bills.

“What time?” she asked.

“Fifteen minutes from now,” He said. They both make their way out.

“you go ahead, I will be fine” She urges with a smile on her face. The truth is she had no penny with her, not even a single… but she didn’t want to make him late for his meeting.

“he just paid for your oh-so-delicious meal, what else?” she thought to herself, scratching her behind the neck while smiling at him…
