The Billionaire's Marriage Offer

Dirt on the Little Mouse

Miya was annoyed.

Granted her mood had improved because of the young man's kind behaviour and amusing activities, but the happy expression on his face when she mentioned the reporters, pissed her off.

When the f*** did the internet become so unreliable?

Reserved, her ass! The man was obviously an attention seeker!

He was practically gloating when she told him that people had found him out.

That was none of her business, though. As long as they didn't find him with her, it wasn't her problem. But, she had to get rid of him before masses of people came tromping into her house.

However, what could she do? She had apologized, treated him to a ridiculously expensive dessert that she never even bought for Ben – and what had she received in return? "Water please!"

Ugh. Jimmy Hunter was obviously too sharp. He just wouldn't go!

Earlier, when she had come back to the house with the purchases, her mood had been so filthy she had wanted to kick his face. How could he be stupid enough to park a Ferrari in a locality like hers? Talk about showing off. But then, he had been so considerate about Ben, her anger had faded away. Now, it was coming back.

She was running out of ideas, and of patience.

She wanted the man out.

Just then, though, she noticed Jimmy's expression darken too. His face grew worse by the minute and after some time, she began to get worried.

"Mr. Hunter," Miya said before she could stop herself, "what's the matter?"

Jimmy looked at her sharply, which almost made her jump. Then his face grew filthier as he spat, "It's the contractor who wants me married. He has started to move."

What? What move?

And what was up with these people? Miya frowned.

Why did someone want this young master to get married? It kind of fascinated her, what the stake of such a deal might be, for him to come to the doorstep of someone like her with such an outrageous proposal. These rich people... their priorities seemed really screwed up.

But as long it didn't come in her way, she didn't have to care.

Meanwhile Jimmy was busy calculating. An emergency signal had just fused off in his head, meaning that he was right now scheming deviously. If Senior Hunter was going to use underhanded means to delay him, there was some serious sh*t involved here. When Park had tried to convince him that the old man had pulled off the marriage trick only to secure an heir for the business, he had wanted to believe. But now he didn't.

The reporters were looking for him? They were afraid of the very air he breathed. If they had the guts to follow him around and find him here, it was obviously because someone was backing them up. And the only one who had the balls to backup something like that was his father.

The question was, why?

Why did he want Jim to fail?

The reason that he hated him was too vague. This was business, Jimmy was still the only direct heir. Emotions weren't involved when it came to the future of the company. Old Hunter was stupid, but he wasn't reckless enough to risk the business for hate. Why then?

Jim could only come up with one possibility.

He had found another heir.

And who the f*** in the family could it be, that the old man would trust more than his own son? Realization immediately crossed his face.
