LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Derrick walks in and sits on Smiles’s desk, he’s always like that. Seats didn’t go well with him and Smiles wasn’t complaining either, she just stayed quiet ignoring him.

“How long do you plan on ignoring me?” He asked but she didn’t flint and just kept on working like no one was there.

This got him angry, like no one has dared to ignore him except Keane but here she was, doing it as if being a big boss somewhere.

Normally, he would have walked away or even made them pay somehow but because it was her, he couldn’t. There was just someone different about her, she was special and could bring him to his seat without a word. Why was it that way? Is there something he isn’t getting?… only unanswered questions lingered in his head.

“As long as it gets you far away from me!” She tells him nonetheless.

“Really? Is that how it’s going to be now?” He asked in a dissatisfied tone, not liking her words.

She flashes him a quick smile and continues working.

“Why not let me explain, please!” He begs, hoping she’d agree.

“Why are you bent on explaining things? Oh! Is it because I know now? That’s why you are willing to tell me?” She sneers, grinding on her teeth.

Sure enough, maybe that’s one of the reasons he wants to explain things to her but there is more to it than just talking things out. Somehow, he just couldn’t figure it out.

“Please, Smiles… hear me out first” he begs again. Their gaze met and after a long while of staring at themselves, She finally gave in.

“Fine…but only this once…you will have to tell me everything about yourself, no keeping of secrets” she warns sternly and he nods, smiling like a child. His playful nature was back again, she missed this part of him. It’s been just a day since they saw each other but it felt like a month.

“Thanks” he pulls her in for a hug. It was a surprise one but she didn’t mind, but the eyes around her couldn’t stop staring at them.

“Don’t choke me up right now, ok…we will talk later, work first” she said pushing him away but he didn’t let go and just kept on holding her in his embrace.

“Promise?” He asked and she nodded.

“Promise! Can you let me go now, gosh you’re so big” She complains. This made him chuckle, finding her even cuter.

“I’ll be back,” he said, making his way out.

“Whatever, just get going” she waves at him, smiling before turning her gaze back to her laptop screen.

Standing by the elevator, Smiles waited patiently for the door to open so she could get in. The door finally opened at last but she didn’t move, she stood by the door waiting for the Lady who was busily talking on the phone to come out but she didn’t.

After a long wait, Smiles decides to go in only to bump into the lady, almost falling to the floor.

The lady in question didn’t bother to say sorry and just walked away as if she wasn’t there. Adjusting herself, she winches in pain. Her leg was injured, forming a red line around her ankle. There was nothing she could do, not like she could fight anyway.

She could only proceed with her mission while struggling with the big box in her hands.

Coming back, Derrick saw her and rushed to her side with a worried expression on his face.

He can’t believe she is jumping, meanwhile, he left her all strong and healthy.

“What happened?” He asked. She hands him the box and he happily collects it without denying it.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I bumped into a lady…she’s so mean you know, I actually waited for her to step out of the elevator but she didn’t…only when I decided to go in did she push through, then this happened ” she points at her leg, twisting her brows in pain.

Derrick felt sorry for her after hearing her explain.

“Sorry!” He apologized as if he was at fault.

“You don’t have to…she did this so she should be the one apologizing,” she said massaging her ankle.

“Lunch?” He asked and she nodded.

“And something refreshing to help me out with this pain” she added. He smiles seeing her petty looks right now.

“My treat then,” He said, helping her up as they walked out together.

In the restaurant, Derrick told her everything about himself not leaving out his search for his sister.

“Where do you think she is right now?” Questions Smile with concern laced in her voice.

“I don’t know…I’ve tried everything possible but to no avail…and it’s all because of him, had it been he had chosen her ” Derrick grinds on his teeth feeling angry at the mention of his dad.

“I don’t know what had transpired between them then, and neither do you…I admit he did wrong chasing her away but right now, the most important thing is to find her” She said, holding onto his hands. He felt grateful for her.

“True! But that doesn’t mean I will forgive him, I mean, because of his anger he chased away a pregnant woman and left her struggling all by herself…what about the child? I am sure her life right now is one hell of a thing with the fact that mom passed away after giving birth to her, “he explains. Smiles understood him so well.

She grew up as an orphan with no one to call family and the worst was being treated as a piece of shit in the orphanage which resulted in her running away.

“I am not asking you to forgive him…you can be mad at him for all I care, but all I ask is for you to never give up on your search for her…promise?” She asked with teary eyes, almost bursting into tears.

Staring at her brought lots of sweet memories of his mom. Though he was still a little child then, he knew what his mom looked like. She was a beauty both in and out, and not just a beauty but a super…Smiles looks a lot like her, her beautiful Amber blue eyes and curly cherry brown hair are exactly the same as his mom.

“Promise!” He said in an assuring tone, squeezing lightly on her hands. Now, he’s even more determined to find his sister, no matter what.
