Song for the chapter:Famous by French Montana
Even though the world was meant for you
I hope you don't get famous
Because everyone would love you but won't love you like I doBeck's POV
You know, It takes a lot to actually find someone that will love you for who you are. Not for your looks or anything especially when you're a young and handsome multi billionaire and the whole world was waiting for you to announce who the "lucky" girl was.Well I had been with a lot of women who loved me just because of money,fame or favors that they could get from me and with time I'd forgot what love felt like.
It wasn't always like this because I was not born rich,I worked hard for whatever I was enjoying today. I had a normal teenage life,dated girls,got turned down most of the time.I mean everything was so peaceful back then but now I couldn't even talk to a lady properly before I get the constant reminder ringing in my head that she wanted something from me. Looking at this beauty sitting beside me, I couldn't help but think of what she'd want in the future. Why did I even offer her a ride? How did I get so attracted to her? Could this be love at first sight?
I got to know that she was a scholarship student at the school that I'd be lecturing today..the school i own. There was something special about her.Her eyes held some feeling I couldn't decipher. Deep down I knew she wanted someone to talk to since I'd been in those shoes before and for the first time I didn't really think of my status or what paparazzi was going to say,I was ready to take this step to be friends with her..or even more.
I was in my company now, in a meeting with the representatives of Dynamite Corporation owned by one Mr James or whatever his name was and I was beyond disappointed at their proposals.These people were seriously buried in debt and they had the audacity to call for a meeting.
"Sir we just need one of your small businesses here to merge with Dynamite Corp and I promise you that you'll not be disappointed." A man with super big glasses said sipping on his coffee.
"Sorry can you please explain that to my boss because we're not really impressed with your proposal." My assistant said flipping through the files that they had submitted to us with confusion written on his face.I noticed how the men quivered in fear when I cleared my throat.
"Erhm about that we have some companies in America that we'd be selling off soon to pay off our debts." Another man said.
"How many companies are we talking about here and I hope they're legit?"
"Yes sir they are." The man replied with a proud smile on his face.
"Okay then we'll organize a meeting with your boss in two days time and we'll talk about investing then."
My assistant stated, looking at me and I acknowledged him with a nod as I walked out of the conference room.I had just one thing on my mind and it was the curly haired beauty. My guards said that they had seen her walk out of the classroom immediately I was done. I couldn't wait to go home to chill and get my mind off things. I walked into my office and I met my best friend Doug sitting on one of my chairs playing FIFA.
"Dude why are you here?" I walked over him to grab the chocolates that he had stolen from my fridge. "And get your filthy hands off my junk"
"You said you wanted to see me remember..or are you too old to remember things now?" Doug said as he collected the chocolates from the fridge and placed it on the table beside him without sparing me a glance.
"Nice try buddy you can get away today but don't ever touch my stuff!"
My phone chimed in my pocket and I realized that I was still standing. I laid the files I was holding on the bean couch and joined it relaxing my head.After getting my thoughts together,I pulled out my phone to text my driver.
"Hey man stop texting and get your ass over here!" Doug said throwing a controller at me which I caught perfectly.
"Okay then let me show you how it's done." I grabbed the controller carefully and we started gaming.
After some time, I lost and he stood up to do a happy dance.I watched him with amusement in my eyes.My best friend was such a child and the girls into him didn't know what they were getting into.
"So who's the girl Anderson?" Doug chuckled.
"A girl I mistakenly spilled coffee on yesterday." I pulled off my blazer and my shoes because I was feeling sleepy already.
"And her name?" He asked with his eyebrows raised. Doug was the CEO of one of the best Law firms in the country and He had men who could get the information of any person.I knew he wanted to run a background check on Ella because he didn't want me to get heartbroken or anything.
"Ella..a scholarship student of my university."
"Oh man that's nice so much useful information. I'm so Proud of you!" He screamed with an over enthusiastic voice clearly showing that he was being sarcastic.
"I just met the girl okay..but she's a culinary art student if that helps. She seems really private though so I don't know." I said throwing my hands up in the air.
"That would not be a problem. I'll send you a file tomorrow then you can take your little hottie out on a date yeah?" He smirked
"Who said I was going to take her out on a date Dougy and no investigations, please!" He hated that name so much because the Cougar that he had as a stepmother called him that all the time.
"You never tell me about just any girl Becky..remember the model you were with last month? You didn't even tell me about her but now you met some coffee girl yesterday and you're already talking about her already." See what he did there? He just called me Becky.
"Say whatever you want Man.I'm going to take a quick nap." I closed my eyes inhaling the air freshener and the cool air coming from the Air conditioner but the only thing my nose wanted was Ella's scent which was just like the perfume that....oh wait! I thought they said she was a scholarship student.Then how did she afford the new collection of the Gucci perfume that I tried to order.She also had this kind of leather scent.While other girls had this flower or tropical fruit scent,her's was different.Well maybe her dad was rich but she didn't look rich. Something was fishy.
"Hey man are you good? You look a bit confused." Doug said chewing slowing on the snickers chocolate that he was holding.
"I want a background check on her as soon as possible dude."
"Then it is done!"
