Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

In the weeks following Travis’s birthday, Arianna won a lot of sympathy.

At the beginning of the year, Arianna’s company launched a set of assessment plans for the employees to redeem bonuses. Many of them were unreasonable, and everyone protested the difficulty but tried anyway.

For the first half of the year, she was following through on a project under the instruction of her supervisor. Arianna was in charge of the trivial matters before the project was stopped because of various barriers. And since the assessment plan required the projects to be finished, Arianna basically lost her bonus for the first half of the year. She was expecting it to be a big one too.

All of her colleagues tried to comfort her. She felt like she had just been robbed after winning the lottery. Though she did not complain to her superiors, the department director said to her, “Arianna, you have to understand that this is a business.”

And her boss told her sincerely, “While it is not my decision, I just want you to know that I’m sorry.”

Arianna was at a crossroads. She wanted to explain that she wasn’t upset, but others; would think that she was acting. So instead, she simply accepted the comfort of the people around the office. The paycheck from work was only meant to feed her, so she wasn’t counting on that bonus to survive.

Maybe it was to compensate for the loss that the annual blood donation quota, or the sympathy award, as the employees called it, was given to her. The award resembled employment welfare, where she received around four thousand dollars and an extra week’s vacation. The role was as popular as ‘Employee of the Year.’

But she did not want to anger the crowd. She spent the money on the employees, buying everyone lunch one afternoon. However, she did take the extra week off. She counted this as lucky.

Arianna had repeatedly visited the blood donation vehicle that stopped outside the office building. She was always rejected for the past several years because she was underweight or her blood pressure was too low.

This time, she actually passed the physical examination and donated blood. However, the phlebotomist advised her to see a medical professional about a hardness near her uterus. She suspected that it was a cyst of some sort. Arianna went home and rested for the day with a chaotic mind.

She called her doctor and was told there was an opening later in the afternoon. Arianna happily booked herself in and headed for the hospital. After the long, thorough examination, she was told that she was completely healthy and there was nothing to be worried about.

On her way out, Arianna stopped by the hospital garden. The sunflowers were blossoming under the sun. She thought they were so beautiful that she couldn’t help but pull out her phone and take pictures of them.

Suddenly, she shuddered and turned around. Arianna never doubted her sixth sense, which she always said helped her avoid several catastrophes as a child. But she wondered why it didn’t warn her in her adolescence to stay away from trouble.

But the ability seemed to be back, stronger than ever. When she looked back, she noted two people were walking. One’s face matched the picture of the hospital director she saw in the hallway, and the other was a familiar man in a suit. Even with sunglasses on, Arianna could recognize Travis Cooper anywhere.

Arianna immediately hid in the sunflowers and didn’t dare to look back again. Coincidentally, she wore a yellow top and green trousers, making this her ideal hiding place. The two men seemed to be talking very seriously, and there were a lot of prettier, more expensive flowers in the garden, so they would not notice her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She first assumed that Travis thought it was too degrading to come to a public hospital, but she saw him talking to the hospital director very respectfully. She was sure it had to do something with money and investments. If that was the case, she was not going to come to this hospital anymore.

After a few minutes, Arianna could no longer feel their presence, so she quickly evacuated the flower plot. She cut through the hospital lobby and briskly walked to the parking lot.

She turned the air conditioner on and closed her eyes for a couple of minutes. It was warm outside, and she was hot from walking so fast.

Once her body temperature returned to normal, she drove away from the beautiful but now tainted hospital. She was unlucky. And just when she thought she was safe, she caught a glimpse of Travis and the hospital director walking out of the building in the rearview mirror. She saw them shake hands and take a bow.

Arianna hit the throttle and rushed out of the parking lot. She was a few hundred meters away from them in just a few seconds. Her car was quiet and ordinary, so she hoped that she left unnoticed.

She passed through the hospital gate and the first traffic light. She felt safe now.

But as she breathed her sigh of relief, her mobile phone began to ring, and there was no caller ID or number on the screen.

The ringtone sounded scary on this occasion, even though it was her favorite song. She rarely answered the phone while driving to avoid getting in an accident, so she decided to do the same now.

Finally, the ringing stopped, and Arianna’s breathing eased. But to her dismay, the phone began to ring again. She silently counted up to twelve and decided to pick up the phone. She held the steering wheel with one hand and answered the phone with the other on speakerphone.

The caller’s voice was deep and emotionless. He simply said, “Arianna,” before hanging up.

Arianna suddenly recalled the monsters described in horror films.

“What kind of a prostitute do you need to be to get horny in a hospital!” Arianna yelled in frustration and slapped both hands against the steering wheel.

This was completely unexpected. She met him right before she began her time off from work, meaning that she would be free for at least half a month. So she thought she would enjoy the serenity on this vacation.
