One Night With The Billionaire

Chapter 8; Trouble is looming



She raised her head and saw the fellow standing, towering over her. He has a striking resemblance with Jace Hudson and she heard Eduardo referred to him a while ago as ‘Second master’ .

“Good morning sir” Arianna greeted, standing up and bowing her head. Looks like people from the Hudson bloodline were destined to look like as if they were moulded from the same sculpture and that includes her son, Eli

At this point, she really cannot say if Eli really took after his dad, Jace Hudson or this fellow standing before her. They look so alike with similar complexion and hair.

“I am Chase Hudson and you are Arianna Jason, Dr Richard Delmark’s friend, right?” Chase asked, his face looking expressionless.

“Yes sir,” Arianna replied. Was it through him she got the job? Richard had told him that he has a friend in the company. He probably was Richard’s friend.

“Nice meeting you. You resumed here, yesterday, I guess” Chase asked and Arianna nodded. “Welcome to the Hudson’s holding. I do hope you have a great time here” he said.

“Thank you, Mr Chase,”Arianna appreciated. She didn’t go to introduce herself to him, rather he came to her. This guy seemed to be different from his brother who behaves like a psycho.

“Just call me second Master. I am Jace Hudson’s younger brother. And I must confess that you are a beautiful woman” Chase Hudson complimented and nodded before walking out of Arianna’s office.

Chase went back to his office. Arianna is a beautiful woman. He likes such women and she’s attractive to him. He thinks he would ask her out.

Everyone knows he is different from his elder brother Jace. He has lost count of the number of girls he’s dated and slept with. He disposes of any girl that doesn’t catch his fancy again.

His phone chirped and he saw the caller’s ID was his brother. He answered and next stood up, going into the CEO’s office.

Jace Hudson had not been able to do anything after Arianna left his office. He can’t imagine that the woman he had turned Z-City upside down searching for eventually walked into his office.

His search and desire to find her for the past four years had ended. But now that he’s found her, he doesn’t know what to do with the knowledge of it. What now?

He had to instruct Eduardo to stop her from resigning and offer her a saucy position to keep her tied down. But his mind was blank. He doesn’t know what to do next.

Chase walked into his elder brother’s office and sat before him. He saw Jace’s confused face and smirked. His brother is the scary looking CEO of the Hudson’s holding but he is his best friend.

“How was your assignment?” Jace asked. He had assigned Chase to do research about a project and he was out about it the previous day.

“Everything went well. I was able to get all the information I needed through the help of a guide. And I must add that the guide is a woman and she’s beautiful” Chase explained.

Jace sighed. Chase is a womaniser. For heaven’s sake, he had advised him to stay with a single girl or better still get married. That would reduce or completely eradicate his promiscuity, if it’s possible though.

“Welldone. We should think about investing in that project as soon as possible. We need to employ competent hands when the decision is being finalised” Jace Hudson declared.

He had completely forgotten to place the pendant and the necklace in its place, he was holding it and it caught Chase’s attention.

“That pendant..”Chase trailed off. Isn’t it the one his brother said was left behind by that woman he had a one night stand with? Why is he holding it?

Jace looked at his hand and realised he was truly still holding the pendant “I finally found her” Jace blurted, his serious stare made Chase squint.

“Found her, you mean…” Chase was saying when Jace interrupted him “the woman four years ago, the one I had a one night stand with” Jace explained.

Chase was speechless. Jace had been searching for this woman for the past four years. He couldn’t even concentrate on doing anything for several months, just eager to find her and know who she was.

He had finally found her. He’s glad he did. His questions would find their answers. He had been worried that an enemy had tripped him and might use it against him in the future.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He smiled. Such a megawatt smile to show how excited he was that Jace was eventually going to get to meet her and interrogate her. That woman was the major reason why Jace doesn’t get along with any woman, coupled with his dead fiancee.

“Have you met her?” Chase asked and the doorbell rang. Jace and Chase looked and said “come in” at the same time.

Sara walked in and said “I’m sorry if I interrupt you, sirs, the President of the Ocean side cooperation has arrived for the Meeting” she announced.

“We’ll meet him at the conference room” Jace replied and stood up. Chase also stood up, he is the President of the Hudson’s headquarters there in Z-City while Jace is the CEO of the conglomerate worldwide.

Every decision to be taken about the company must involve him. He walked out before Jace and went to the conference room as well.

During lunch, Chase requested to see Arianna and asked her to accompany him to lunch. She shyly turned him down, she is not the type who accompanies men to lunch.

“I am not seeking your opinion on that. I am ordering you to come with me” Chase Hudson ordered. There’s no woman in the company that ever turned him down except this new employee.

Does she think he takes a No for an answer? He always gets what he wants and that includes any woman of his choice. He may fuck a few times and let them go, but that is only if he chose to let go.

“Sir, I don’t think it’s a good idea that I should accompany you to lunch sir, it might give a wrong impression” Arianna explained quickly.

“Don’t you dare lecture me. It’s final. Pick your bag and come with me” Chase commanded and Arianna sighed. Isn’t this man digging her grave too early?

Arianna sat in the car with Chase. She sat and folded her hands across her chest. He glanced at her and wondered why she looked uncomfortable, being with him.

Other women would be glad they did. Why was she looking aloof? He looked at her dress, they looked cheap and inferior. She’s definitely a poor woman.

He could make her rich overnight. If she can just allow him to be with her, that’s enough for her status to change. He would see that he seduced her and made her his own.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” He asked. He already checked through her profile and saw that she’s still single. But she didn’t mention anything else like being in a relationship.

“No” Arianna answered almost immediately. Her response came quickly and Chase narrowed his brow. There is something bothering her.

Arianna felt her heart was beating too fast. If Jace Hudson heard that she went to lunch with his brother, wouldn’t it confirm that she’s a casual woman?

“Are you in some kind of relationship, I mean engaged or something?” Chase probed further. He glanced at her and Arianna answered in the negative.

He looked away from her. He has a charming look and his aura was intimidating. But it seemed to Arianna that Jace’s domineering and compressing aura was ten times that of his brother.

“Have you been in a relationship before?” Chase asked again. “Yes, but it’s complicated” Arianna replied and looked away.

There was no conversation again until Chase’s phone chirped. He saw who it was and he answered “Yes, good. Meet me at the Samson and Delilah” he declared and hung up.

Arianna felt relieved. At least someone was going to join them so they could be three. That way, it was better than she should be alone with Chase.

Ten minutes later, the car drove into a hotel and the giant billboard read welcome to the Samson and Delilah hotel. Arianna sighed, what a name for a hotel.

As the chauffeur parked, Chase gave orders to his assistant and bodyguards. The assistant went to the reception while the bodyguards were stationed outside.

They had hardly settled down when his assistant brought him a key. Chase collected it and instructed him to wait in the car.

“You wait here for me. Don’t move an inch until I return. But you can order whatever you want” He instructed and left.

Chase was meeting someone else. And the woman walked in, and went straight to the room number Chase had given her. No one paid attention to her because several people were coming and going as well.

When Rosalinda rang the doorbell, the eagerly waiting Chase opened the door. She walked in and he shut the door from within.

He couldn’t even wait for her to put her handbag down when he started kissing her lips and her neck.

“You’ll have me as you want baby, but let me take a shower first” Rosalinda said, placing her finger on his lips.
