The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 21- I'm Ready

I've been feeling pain shoot through my arm that I could barely work and that made me angry, my anger wasn't that I was feeling pain in my arm, no, it was the fact that I wasted my punches when it would have fitted well on that bastard's face.

I groaned in annoyance, dropping the pen I was holding.

A knock came on my door and the door opened to reveal Katherine as she walked towards me with a document.

" Hello sir, I don't know if you can sign this but it needs your signature right now," She said as she dropped the document on my table.

I went through the document then I picked my pen to sign, I couldn't hold the pen properly and I didn't want to mess up the document.

" That seems really bad, what really happened to you?" You happened to me, I wanted to say, taking a ring and wanting to marry another man, yeah, that happened to me.

" It's nothing Miss Westbrook,"

" Nothing? You can barely hold a damn pen," As she said that, I held the pen with struggle and slowly signed the document, luckily I didn't make any mistakes.

" Here done," I said as I passed the document back to her.

" Thank you, Sir," She collected it and turned to leave but she turned right back to look at me.

" Did you get into a fight Sir, are you in trouble?"

" None of that Miss Westbrook but someone is going to get in serious trouble for wanting to take what belongs to me,"

" Ahhh, now I understand everything," She said in realization.

" You do?"

" Of course, someone stole your money and you're mad about it, but you shouldn't have taken out your anger on your hand," She said and I just stared at her, she thought this was about money?

" Careful with your hand Sir, I'll be in my office if you need anything," She said before finally turning from me and walking out.

At the end of the day, Anna was right, I should have just stayed home, I barely got anything done. The only consolation to my pain was that I got to see Katherine's face.

When it was time to go home I took my things and walked out to the office into the elevator, Katherine already left about twenty minutes ago.

As I stepped outside the company I was surprised to see Katherine standing there, she looked like she was waiting for someone.

" You're still here?" I asked

" Yeah, I'm waiting for my fiance to come pick me up,..." I clenched my hand, I took the torture of hearing boyfriend, now it was fiance.

…" I think he's caught in traffic, he's running a little late today," She said as she checked her wristwatch, I was about to tell her I could drop her off, but just then a familiar car pulled over and he stepped out.

" I'm sorry baby, there was a little traffic on the way here," He said as he walked to where she was standing ignoring me, not like I cared.

" It's okay, let's go," Katherine said as he took her hand and they were about to go.

" See you at the airport tomorrow Miss Westbrook," I said before walking away, the look on his face was worth the pain I felt all day.

I got into my car and the driver drove off. I couldn't help but smile thinking about tomorrow.

I've been quiet for too long.

" See you at the airport tomorrow? What's happening?" Eddy asked as he opened the car door for me and I got in.

" Let's talk about this at home," I said as he closed my door before walking around to the driver's side and getting into the car.

" You're going with him for the trip aren't you?"

" Let's get home first Eddy, I had a really stressful day,"

" Oh," Was all he said before he started the car and drove out of the company.

The ride back home was very quiet, I could already feel question after question waiting for me as soon as we reached home.

" Now we're home, mind telling me what's going on?" Eddy asked as soon as we entered the house.

" Eddy first things first I'm very tired and the last thing I want right now is to argue with you, I'm going for the trip with Mr. Vincenzo, it's a business trip so don't get worked up for nothing, if you can't trust me then we have a problem, I hate your attitude anytime you see me near him, when did you get this insecure?" I asked as I looked up at him and he just stared at me without saying anything before he sighed and rubbed his hand on his forehead.

" I'm sorry, you must be really tired from work and Instead of asking you about your day here I am trying to start an argument, I trust you Katie, it's him I don't trust,"

" We're still back to the same thing,"

" I'm sorry, come here," He said as he opened his arms and I walked in as he dropped a kiss on my head.

" No more arguing," He said and I nodded.

I woke up early the next morning with my bags already packed, Eddy would be driving me to the airport.

I got dressed and he helped me with my bags. As we stepped outside the house, I was surprised to find a black car waiting outside, I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.

The driver's side opened and a man stepped out, I recognized him as one of Mr. Vincenzo's drivers.

" Good morning Miss Westbrook, I'll be taking you to the airport,"

" You don't need to, I'll be dropping her off," Eddy said.

" There's no need for that gentle Sir, Mr. Vincenzo strictly told me to bring her, they'd be traveling in his private jet," He said and I could feel anger roll off Eddy in waves.

" Uhm Eddy, I'll be leaving now, do take care, be a good boy while I'm gone," I said as I went on my toes and kissed him, I wanted to pull away but he held onto me tightly like he was giving the driver a show.

" Be safe," He whispered before he released me.

" I will,"

The driver took my bags and put them in the trunk and then he opened the door for me, I still had my eyes on Eddy as I waved at him before the door closed, but as I turned I almost had a heart attack.

" Jesus! Mr. Vincenzo, you're in here?" I said as I placed my hand on my chest.

" Yeah, are you ready?" He asked,

Ready for what actually? I thought, but I found myself answering anyway.

" Yes, I'm ready,"
