The Billionaire's Irresistible Enemy

On Friday morning, I went straight to Barry's office to remind him about his Tuxedo fitting later.

"Good morning, Miss Stavrakos. You're looking more lovely today." Venus greeted me with a huge smile.

She looked super hot in that red business suit. Her blouse didn't hide her big boobs, even the neckline revealed a bit of cleavage. There was no way Barry wouldn't notice it.

"Hello Venus. Is Barry in there?"

"Yes, madam."

"I'll remind him about his tux fitting at eleven. Make sure you remind him, too."

"Noted." Her smile widened, making her look more pretty. I was wondering if Barry found her attractive, cause she's really hot.

She got up and opened the door for me. Her perfume smells fruity, like strawberries and passionfruit.

I walked into Barry's office, and he was on the phone. He motioned for me to wait. After hanging up, he stood up and approached me.

"That was Mr. Oishi, by the way. He invited me to come to Malaysia for their store's grand opening. Our brand will be on display."

"You can go on a business trip now that someone will take care of your office stuff."

"No doubt." He pulled me in for a tight hug and gave me a lingering kiss. "Wanna come with me?"

"And leave the office?" My eyebrows rose. "Nope, we can't do that. One of us must stay and take care of the business."

"Yeah. Pretty disappointing, isn't it? I wanna be around you all the time." He was so sweet yesterday, and now he is sweeter. He hugged and kissed me, never letting me go, then whispered sweet things in my ear. "I had a dream about you last night. We were on our honeymoon, getting down and dirty on the beach."

"Really?" I giggled. "That would be so uncomfortable."

"You think so?" He was giving me a teasing look. "Guess what? I got us a fancy honeymoon package in Maldives for three nights."

"Three nights only? I thought we're going for a week."

"Sweetheart, we can't stay away for too long, especially since our business is still shaky, you know. I'll make it up to you once everything's going smoothly."

"Alright." I agreed.

He pulled me closer and planted a kiss behind my ear. With my face buried against his chest, I suddenly caught a whiff of his shirt - it smelled just like Venus' fruity perfume.

It was like getting hit with cold water. I was stuck there, feeling suspicious suddenly. Jealousy and anger consumed me.

No. That's impossible. Acting paranoid was the last thing I wanted to do. I was just imagining things because she's pretty. Venus' perfume was so strong, it lingered in my nostrils, that's all. I brushed off the idea of something happening between Barry and Venus.

Pre-wedding nerves. It's just that. Barry's been super loyal and honest to me. He'd never break my trust.

"Remember your tuxedo fitting at eleven? I told Venus to remind you, too."

"Sure, sweetheart. Whatever you say." His face dipped and kissed me passionately. Then I caught another whiff of that fruity smell.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Sweet in my office, waiting for me. We gave each other a hug after saying 'hi'.

"What's up? What brings you here?" I said, then took a seat behind my desk.
