The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 24- I Miss You

" How can it be missing? It was just here, I remember taking it off and dropping it there," I said as I pointed to the bedside table.

" Or did I take it to the bathroom?" I quickly rushed to the bathroom to check, but as I checked I came back empty.

" How can it just be missing just like that, this is driving me crazy,"

" Miss Westbrook, we've got somewhere to be, you can look for your ring when we return,"

" It was just right there," I said again to no one in particular.

We walked out of the suite and we got into the elevator, my mood was already ruined and I knew I'd be like this for the rest of the day.

" Hey cheer up you'll find it," Mr. Vincenzo said as we got into the car but I didn't say a word, I was too moody to speak.

The driver drove us to the location for the conference and I tried my best to smile as we came out to the car.

" You know you're going to hurt your jaw if you keep doing that to your face," Mr. Vincenzo said.

I sighed before trying to calm my face so as not to look like I had the world problems on my shoulders.

I had to pay attention in this conference, I couldn't be distracted, but I wanted my ring.

What if I don't find it? Eddy would think I lost it because I don't value it or he might think I don't care about him. Oh God please let me find it.

We were led to the hall for the conference and then a lady ushered us to our seats.

None of this was of interest to me right now, but I didn't have a choice but to glue my butt to the chair and act like every secretary or assistant, looking all professional and interested when in reality this is the last place they want to be.

" I welcome you businessmen and women to this conference, I'm glad you all are here, it is true that one can never fully know all about the tactics of business, that is why we gather like this to learn from each other, and I hope you all enjoy this conference and learn from what each speaker is going to be coming here to say, I encouraged everyone one of us to pay…." That was as far as I cared to listen.

I didn't care about what he was saying. I took my time to scan around the room as I looked at the business tycoons sitting in their expensive suits with their classy assistants, not like I wasn't classy, but they looked more professional than I did, it was like they were meant to be there, while I looked like, well, I don't know what to say.

…" Thank you," The hall broke into applause and I was startled for a moment. What did he say that they were clapping so much?

The conference soon kicked off as well polished men came up on stage to talk about business strategies, how to maintain long partnerships with clients and all.

Surprisingly Mr. Vincenzo was one of the speakers, when he went up the stage it was like he went with a special aura as everyone was so fixed on him ready to hear what he had to say, I was one of them.

When he finished speaking everyone stood up to applaud him, not like they've not been standing up for others, but there was just something different.

We went for lunch breaks and came back for another session and as much as I wasn't interested in the conference I couldn't deny the fact that I'd learn something.

After the conference, Mr. Vincenzo and I went to talk to some of his friends and business partners who also came to the conference.

They were talking while I was using my eyes to look around, I noticed a lady at a corner looking towards us so I traced her line of sight to see that she was looking at Mr. Vincenzo, she was basically undressing him with her gaze. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

" Miss Westbrook, my friends invited me for some drinks, would you want to go or should we just go home?" Why was he asking me, he was the boss.

" We can go with them, it's fine," I said to him.

" Alright," He said with a smile when I noticed the woman walking towards us.

" Mr. Vincenzo it's such…"

" I'm taken," He said and all the men turned to look at the woman as she stood there shocked and embarrassed. I shouldn't, I really shouldn't but I burst into laughter adding to her embarrassment.

I only stopped when it looked like she was going to kill me with her eyes as I settled for quiet chuckles.

The woman stormed away looking like she would set the place on fire.

" Taken huh?"

" It's to keep gold diggers like her away from me, I know her, the only thing he cares about is money,"

" Let's go, guys," One of Mr. Vincenzo's friends said as he suddenly placed his hand around my shoulders and started walking to the door and the rest followed.

**

Right now sitting in front of these men as they drink and talk about whatnot I wished I had turned down the invitation, like they were all drunk and I don't think they knew that.

" Here Miss Westbrook, just one drink, just one," One of the guys said as he tried to make me have a drink.

I didn't want to get drunk like them, I had to be sober to take care of my annoying boss.

" No thanks, I'd have to decline,...Mr. Vincenzo, it's time to go," I said as I stood up and walked to him but as I held him to help him up he pushed me making me fall on his lap as he looked into my eyes.

" So beautiful, I want to taste you," He said drunkenly.

" Let's go home," I said as I pushed off him.

I helped him up as we walked outside the bar. As soon as the drivers of the other men saw me dragging Mr. Vincenzo they knew their bosses would not be any different so they rushed into the bar.

Our driver helped me put Mr. Vincenzo into the car and I got in after him.

He looked wasted, he kept talking to himself and I couldn't help but shake my head.

He suddenly pushed close to me but I drew closer to the door.

" Come on, I don't bite," He whispered in a deep voice and I pushed myself further almost squashing myself to the door but he still moved to me clouding me as his eyes went to my lips, he brought out his tongue to wet his lips and the action made me shiver.

I tried to push him away but his hand held mine and placed them above my head as his tongue came out to trace my lower lip.

" Stop," I breathed as his eyes turned to mine, there were so many emotions swimming in his eyes that I couldn't place a name on them.

" I miss you, I miss you so bad,"
