THE BILLIONAIRE'S CHOICE

CHAPTER 3

Mr Williams was in shock, what was his son doing? Why is he speechless? The thought kept running through his mind and he knew he had to do something quickly before things fell out of hands.

The crowd started to murmur among themselves, "why is he staring like a lost ship? Does he know what to say? Was he force to do this?"

Darien eyes were still fixed on Ivy's which made Ivy feel weird. Ivy tried to avoid contact before people noticed he was staring at her. She was facing Emily but Emily kept telling her about the boy she just met.

Williams gave sign to his P.A and immediately John went up to the stage and he whispered to Darien ears, "you're on stage Darien." John left the stage and acted like nothing happened.

Immediately Darien heard that his brain came back to life. He looked at the crowd with a confused face and his brain reminded him why he was here.

"Sorry about that." He remained calm and he cleared his throat softly, "I Darien will make sure I fulfill my responsibility as the CEO of DDC and I will serve diligently and humbly. You will receive no complaints from me and  I will give all the staffs double their salary for this month."

As everyone heard that everybody began to clap with excitement. All of the news people that came and the photographers they all began to snap him with light shinning in his eyes. He was already used to it so he just walked out of the stage and someone else came to take over.

Emily was so happy, she could finally buy that bag she wished for. Emily was happy like everyone else but Ivy seemed to be down.

"What happened?" Emily asked raising a brow at her.

"Let's go to club tonight." Emily smiled at her statement and they both left the hall.

As Darien left the stage, he saw his brother and his family except from his father. Drake was frowning and almost crying. He smiled at his brother and just passed them like they were a piece of dust.

*****

Ivy and Emily entered the club and it felt like breeze blew and the music was being played in slow motion. The boys at the club couldn't stop themselves from staring at two golden angels. The boys left their girls and kept staring at them. The girls at the club hated Ivy and Emily, they always stole the spotlight and caught people's attention. It was really frustrating.

Ivy and Emily went to the dance floor and Emily started dancing like a crazy person, she hadn't even drank but she was already drunk. Ivy wasn't feeling the vibe so she just went to the bar and sat there thinking about how she had treated her boss at the bathroom. She really didn't want to get fired, this job was like a breakthrough for her she just couldn't lose it. Emily sat beside her and asked for a bottle of alcohol.

Emily grabbed the bottle and gushed it into her mouth. "Ivy like they say_" she paused and drank the entire bottle, "this life is once."

Ivy glared at her in annoyance but Emily began to laugh like a mad woman. Ivy already knew she was drunk. She was 29 years but acted like a 19years. Ivy was only 24 but she was a lot smarter than her.

"I've done something so stupid." Ivy knew she should tell her best friend since they never kept secrets between them.

"What did you do?" Emily asked in her drunk state. Even if Emily was drunk she still had good listening ears.

Ivy began to explain everything that happened between her and Darien, the bathroom incident and how he was glaring at her at the event. If he found out she was his secretary, she would receive a sack letter.

While Ivy was talking Emily seemed quiet and it was unlike her to shut her mouth after hearing such a spicy gist. Ivy turned to her left where Emily was siting bit she saw Emily flirting with a guy and the guy was giving in.

With annoyance Ivy hit Emily hard on her back. "I promise you, it's gonna be a boy that will kill you. Mark my words."

Emily ignored her and grabbed the boy neck and kissed him intensively. The guy knew what to do next, he grabbed her by her waist and carried her out of the club.

"I'll call you later." Emily screamed.

Ivy scoffed and felt disappointed.

*****

Ivy was scared to step into DDC, she kept calculating, was she going to receive a sack letter? Was she receiving a sack letter and get humiliated? Was she receiving a sack letter, get humiliated and he will take revenge on her for making him speechless? Was sh_?

Someone tapped her back making her snap away from those foolish thoughts. She turned to see Mandy raising a brow and looking confused.

"You've been standing here for a while. Why won't you enter?" She asked with curiosity.

Ivy gave a fake smile and walked into the office making Mandy to be more curious. Ivy already knew were her office was so she didn't have to ask the receptionist. She just signed herself in and went to the elevator. Ivy wore a black office trouser with a white t-shirt, she bore a black 3 inches heels and supported it with a black Zara bag . She didn't expose her body like always did, she needed to get the good side for her boss so he won't have to fire her.

This reminded her of Emily and how she completely didn't hear her and just went with that boy. Wait! Ivy paused. She hadn't heard from Emily since saturday night and this was monday. Oh no? Did the guy kidnap her or what? Ivy ignored those thoughts, it couldn't be possible Emily is an adult she is not that stupid to follow that boy. She erased the thought from her mind and the elevator opened. She entered it and saw a man who looked like he was in his early forties or middle forties. She ignored his presence and stayed at his right side. She pressed button 56 and the elevator started going up.

"You look pretty." The man complimented with a sly voice.

She frowned at him and she gave him a disgusting look. Is this man trying to flirt with her or what? She choose to ignore him but her side eye didn't let her recover from his statement. She used style to look at him and he seemed to be rich, he was wearing a navy blue sit and a white shirt inside and a navy blue trouser. He was wearing a sliver Rolex watch and his black expensive shoe kept shining in her eyes.

"What was I doing?" She thought. Was she just analysing him? She must have gone crazy.

She tried to ignore the man and she felt like leaving bit this elevator is talking forever to get there. After few seconds of awkward silence the elevator opened. She was so happy. Before the man could utter a statement she ran out of the elevator and went to the office. The place was filled with people desk connected to each other and computers at their front were they run and carry out their functions. People were sitting at their desk about 20 people. The company had different section and according to Emily this was the main section. Her eyes spotted Emily and she had a sigh of relieve. Emily smiled at her and pointed her finger to the right signifying that that was her office.

She turn to her right and there was a door there. Oh no! Her office was inside his office. She gulped and walked slowly to the door. She was nervous that she forgot to knock. She barged in uninvited and everything happened in slow motion.

His head slowly met her and both their eyes stared at each other.

"Did you knock before entering?" His sweet and deep voice rang bells in Ivy's ears and she felt threatened.
