When a billionaire loves.

Chapter 4

You guys must have guessed till now that Alice had a bad past.

So in every chapter wherever I use something like..
'his' or 'he' or 'him' it signifies another person from Alice's past and 'not Adrian' or any male from the present.

Alice's pov

I entered into his office and straightened up suddenly when I saw him just standing in front of the door with his hands in his pockets.

His cold blue eyes stared into mine. The way he looked at me reminded of the incident that happened the day before and I shuddered.
I looked down, not able to meet his emotionless gaze.

"y-you called me s-ir" I fiddled with my fingers with my eyes fixed on his shoes.

"sit" he ordered and went back to his chair.

I slowly walked to the chair in front of his table afraid that I would fall.
All this time his gaze never left mine even knowing that he was making me nervous.

After some minutes which felt like hours and he didn't say a word, I looked up.
He was still looking at me with his brows furrowed as if he was in a deep thought.

What is he thinking?

He got up from his chair and walked towards the big window that viewed the city. Now his back was facing me.

"I wanted to talk about something" he spoke.

Talk about something?

What does a ceo would want to talk to a girl like me?

"what? " I asked politely.

" I have a meeting with Mr. Richards in Italy next week. Our company is building the biggest restaurant and bar in Italy for which I'll require his contribution. We'll have to first show him the blueprints of the building and he will work with us only if he approves them."

I stood there listening to him, confused that why he is telling me all this.

"h-how does this concern me sir? " I stood up.

He turned around and walk towards me. My heart beat increased as his steps increased.

Why is he coming near me?

What is he going to do?

He was now standing in front of me but maintained some distance which I was thankful of.

" this is a very important meeting and I want it to be perfect. There's a lot of work and since my secretary Mrs. McDonald is retired I want you to accompany me there." he stated.

"huh? " my eyes widened.

Why does he want 'me' to go with him?

" B-but why me? "

" no reason"
He turned around to sit on his chair.

"I can't go" I said and he turned back to me.

"And why's that? " he raise a brow.

Oh no!
What should I say?

That I don't want to go with you?
Or that I'm scared of you?

" I-I don't want to" I whispered looking down again.

He came near me invading my personal space. I instantly stepped back but gasped when his hand held my arm to stable me in place.
