Led to Mr. Billionaire

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

I had completed the two-week intensive training at the foundation and gotten a letter saying I would be highly welcomed to the internship training program that would run for those that will get a job there as one of the foundation's lawyers. I was so excited and couldn't wait for it.

I sighed and stood up from my bed after my morning prayers, thinking of how I was going to survive my final semester that starts on Monday. I, however, will be leaving on Wednesday as I just wanted to rest from all the events of the past two weeks. My phone pinged bringing me back to reality as I picked it up and smiled.

'Dress casually. See you soon' The message from Yemi brought a smile to my face and eased my thoughts.

He had asked me out on a date, which was more like a whole day kind of date. He insisted that I needed to rest and relax so he would be picking me up by 10am.

I dropped my phone once I saw the time was 8:46 am and arranged my bed before walking into the bathroom to do my business. Once I had showered and brushed my teeth, I stepped out of the bathroom and walked to my wardrobe.

"He said to dress casual," I muttered under my breath as I scanned through my rack of clothes and decided to just go with a cream-colored, cropped sweatshirt that stopped below my belly button and light-blue, high-waist jeans. I wore the clothes, fixed my braids into a high ponytail, dabbed my face with a little brown powder, and brushed my eyebrows neatly.

I checked out my appearance in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction before leaving my bedroom for the sitting room for family devotion. I had told Pastor Ayo and his wife that I was going out with Yemi, and they didn't object but wished me well.

We finished the devotion, and just as I finished watching Grace dress up, since she was following Mrs. Ayo somewhere, I heard his signature three-fisted knocks on the door, and an immediate smile appeared on my lips.

"Hi" I said as I opened the door, while openly checking him out. He wore black jeans over a black polo and topped it up with a blue bomber jacket, while on his feet was a pair of black sneakers.

"Hi... You look beautiful." His deep voice brought me out of my daze, and my smile increased.

"Thank you. Hold on, let me put on my shoes." I said, leaving the door wide open as Grace came barreling through into his arms. I speed-walked to my room and put on my white pair of canvas.

Walking back to the sitting room, I stopped in my tracks as the sight of Grace on Yemi's lap while she openly disturbed him made my heart soar. The Ayobami's sat there watching them and joking, while the children gawked at Yemi.

The sight warmed my heart. Would I be able to get used to this?

Yes! Yes, I want to.

I came out of my trance when I felt Yemi's gaze on me. He stood up, and I walked towards him. I was starting to feel nervous. This was going to be the first time we would go out together and be romantically involved. I just didn't want anything to spoil this.

My stomach grumbled, and I immediately slapped my hands on my tummy, but I was too late, as the baritone laughed at Yemi and plunged out, making me pout.

"Well, I guess I have to feed you first." He said so, and we left the house.

True to his words, Yemi pulled over at a restaurant named Sweet Sensation. We went over to the counter to order. I ordered three slices of a chicken sandwich, one barbeque chicken, large fries, and a can of Chi-Exotic. Yemi looked at my order and smiled fondly while shaking his head.

"What? I like a big breakfast, and trust me, this isn't big," I said, bringing up the tray to his face. He chuckled and ordered the same thing I did.

"I'm not complaining, Love," he said, bringing his tray to my face. I rolled my eyes but smiled nonetheless, and we went to pay. I brought out my purse so we could split the payment, but as I stretched out the money, Yemi's hand grabbed mine.
