I Met Mr. Billionaire

Chapter Ten

We head back to Ashton's company. Once we got there I turn to look at Alec, "Do you know anything about Ashton's father and his death?" I asked, maybe he can help us? Alec, stiffened and looked at me he put his hand behind his neck and rubbed it.

"No, not that I know of but someone told me they killed his father right in front of him."

My eyes widen, who would do that. That's just messed up. I feel so bad for Ashton, I don't know if he should get his revenge or not. I just hope he finds the killer, then maybe they can put him in jail.

Alec snaps his fingers in front of me making me from stopping to think.

"It looked like you were off in your own world there," he says, chuckling. I shrug "Maybe I was maybe I wasn't"

He shook his head "Now, let's get you back to your office." He said, "I don't want Ashton, to kill me." We both laugh together and I nod.

We went to the elevator and waited patiently. Once it reached the number we got out

"Well, thank you for dropping me off," I said nicely and looked down, playing with my fingers. Alec came closer to me a lifted my chin up, making me look at him.

"You're very welcome." He smirked 

I open my mouth to say something,

"ZARA MARIE ANDERSON!" a voice boomed from behind us, cutting me off. I turned around and saw Ashton, looking at me with pure hatred. What did I do and how does he know my full name?! 

"Y-yes s-sir." I say, why did I stutter? Damn it!

"My office now!" He yelled and pointed to his office door. I nod quietly and looked back at Alec, 

"Bye see you tomorrow maybe?" 

he nods, "Yeah I'll see you tomorrow." 

I turn back to Ashton, seeing him with anger scares me but I control my breathing. Ashton opened the door and I went into his office. The door slammed behind me. He walked to his desk and sat down on a char.

"Sit." He says calmly.  

I nod and walk over to the chair sitting on it. I think I'm gonna be okay. he seems calm now...right? 

"WHERE THE FUCK WHERE YOU!?!" He slammed his hands on the desk and got up making the chair fall backward.  

"I told you I was on my lunch break!" I sneered and got up from my chair as well.  I crossed my arms over my chest. He's really getting on my nerves!

"But you were fucking late again!" He yelled and walked closer to me. I back away from him. I almost tripped but I regain my balance and looked into his eyes. They had so many emotions I couldn't understand. 

"How many time-"

I put my hand in his hair and tugged on it. It felt like a soft cloud, hoping it would relax him a bit. He let out a shaky breath.

He groans I smirked.

He closes his eyes. It sure did relax him. I let out a sigh, and keep on playing with his hair. He leaned in and rested his forehead on mine.

"I'm sorry.." he whispered, his minty breath fanning my face.

"It's okay-"

"No It's not!" he bit back, "I fuck up. I fuck things up and I can't fix them."

I felt bad for him... yes everyone makes mistakes. But maybe he can actually fix what he has done.

"Ashton, I'm sure you'll fix them you just need help. Let me help you." I looked into his eyes. He stared right back at me searching for something. 

"No." He sternly says, "If you help me you could get hurt. So many things can happen to you." His voiced went raspy. My heart started beating faster at everything he had said. Does he care for me? No...does he?

"I won't get hurt Ashton, I promise," I begged him to let me help him.

"Okay..." He whispered, "But I'm gonna need high security on you at all cost." He backed away from me and headed to his desk. I went with him and looked at his computer.

"Zara, you can't trust no one." He firmly says and looks through his files. I nod quickly.

"That includes, Alec." He growled out, I gave him a poker face. 

"Why I trust Alec-"

"Well, I don't fucking trust him and I if I say no then that means no!" He raised his voice and I shut my mouth. He kept searching through his files until it was going all buggy. 

"Hm, someone's trying to hack me." He said coldly and leaned backward in his chair. The computer was so buggy and he was trying to get hacked 'cause everything just froze and stuff like that. 

Ashton, looked at the computer closely, "Shit." he said and got up from his chair. I raised an eyebrow at him

"Vamos, no tengo tiempo," he said in Spanish I think. He sounded really hot when he talks like that, all huskily and dreamy. He grabbed my hand and led me outside of his office.

"Where are we going?" I asked him, he shoved me into the elevator and clicked the first floor.

"What's going on?" I asked again, Ashton, faced me and frowned. "That hacker was trying to get into my files. Searching for something. I don't know what though." he hissed, "And he's in this building."

My eyes widen. There's a hacker in this building?

"They're betraying us. And if I lose those files and if somehow that hacker is a part of a gang. I'm dead." 

The elevator's door went open and he went to the front desk. I followed him like a lost puppy.

"I need you to check all computers. All the office rooms. I want you guys to check everywhere in this building." He growled at the front desk lady. She nods quickly like she was scared.

"I want you to stop everything that's running on computers. There's a hacker and I want you to stop him. Shut him down and the computer." He said, "In fact shut down the power right now!"

My eyes travel to Ashton, and he seems pissed off again.

"Sir, but if we shut down-"

"SHUT DOWN THE FUCKING POWER NOW!" He yelled at her. She gasped and nodded. Then she went to a secret room or something.

I looked at Ashton, again.

"Why do that?" I asked, and he just looks at me.

"People have been trying to get into my files. Trying to find my weakness to take me down." He rolled his eyes and waited patiently. Then the lights all go out. Every electronic stop working and there is just total silence and darkness.

"Great. Now, that guy won't get into my files." He fixed his tuxedo. And turned to look at me.

"Trust no one, Zara. I fucking mean it." He sneered, then walked out of the company. Just leaving everything in the dark. Weird, who would want to find out about Ashton's weaknesses? 

I shrug it off and walked out of the company too. Just one thing..." trust no one" kept popping up in my head.
