TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE

23|Bexley

Bexley's POV

The elevator dinged and as soon as the door opened. We walked out. And I followed behind them. They led me to a large dining room. The dining seats can take up to twenty-four people.

The clicks of my shoes attracted the attention of the people sitting in the dining as they all looked my way. I know I am an entertainer because I dance. But right now. The situation is different. As I found myself feeling nervous...

My father stood up immediately and he stretched his hand for me to take which I took. He led me to a seat beside him. But before I sat down. I was introduced to his guest. There were about three men of my father's age and there were about six younger men around the age of twenty-five to twenty-eight.  And two younger women of my age with two older women. They are middle-aged women.

"These are my friends. Maxwell, Gerald and Simon". They stood up, shook my hand and put a kiss on the top of my head. 

It was as if they had rehearsed before coming here. I am not complaining. They are nice people I think.

My father led me to the two older women and introduced me to them. According to him. The women are wives to two of his friends Mr Gerrard and Maxwell. Leaving me to wonder where is Mr Simon's Wife.

After I was done greeting the women. I was also introduced to the young girls and young men. We all exchanged greetings and I went back to my seat.

It was not easy though. The six handsome gorgeous-looking guys were gawking at me and it made me uncomfortable.

"Isn't she beautiful?".  Magdalena, one of the older women who happens to be Mr Maxwell's wife spoke facing a guy I was introduced to as Justin.

"Yes Mother. She is". He agreed with his mom and he started typing on his phone.

The Men were beaming for what I don't know.

"She looks just like you Douglas. And she is as beautiful as Maria". Said Mr Simon and my father nodded in response.

Who is Maria? Could she be my mother? I will have to ask my father later. I smiled at Mr Simon's comment.

We chatted while eating.

"So, Bexley. What have you been up to all this while?"  Denise, one of the guys who happens to be the oldest among them finally spoke. According to my father. He owns a company and he is doing well in his business.

"Nothing much. Just studying. And I also dance".  I shrugged and replied as a matter of fact.

"Really?". The girl I assumed was Tiller by name giggled. And she continued. "I mean, like a professional dancer?". She asked for confirmation

"Yes. That's right". I nodded and winked at her. She is so cute. The girl should be around eighteen. And she is so beautiful.

"So, what course are you taking?".  Justin asked still not looking at me but on his phone.

This time everyone was waiting for my reply. Including my father. I remember he was yet to know about me.

While every other person sitting here was waiting for my reply. Justin was busy with his phone.  I wonder what he is doing on his phone.

"Well". I started.  "I am a computer science student". I informed.

"Why dancing? I mean. If you are reading computer science. How come you are a professional dancer as you claim?".  Finally, Justin looked me in the eyes this time while asking me a question. However, I don't like his question. It sounds rude.

"Well, Justin. It is not a claim. It is a fact. I was the lead dancer in Asaf's new video. That is if you even know who he is. I just signed a deal with another record label BMX. And I will be dancing in CAZZ's coming video".    He looked at me and he was grinning and so was everyone including Denise.

"That is awesome Bexley. Do you know Asaf?". Tiller asked and she is super excited to hear my reply.

But, before I replied to her. My father beat me to it.  "Asaf is Bexley's best friend. That I know". He beams.

"What!? Really? Can you introduce us, please?". Tiller asked as she joined her palms together giving me a puppy face.
