Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

“Things will turn out better soon; your father is only looking out for you. There’s no fuss about it all. You should consider taking things bit by bit and watch everything work out positively” she said

She might have said something worth hearing but I wasn’t moved. I was still discouraged.

I have been putting up with my father’s cold acts towards me since the day I made it known to him that I’d rather pursue my passion for music than take over his company. I doubt if he’d ever be less uptight with me if eventually I end up not taking the path he tookContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lies. Alexa, you’re saying this simply because you’re being paid to.” I pointed out

No one would ever speak ill of their employer unless he’s ready to loose his job. The Alexa I know to some extent isn’t financially stable, she’d do anything to keep her job.

“This isn’t lies. You can actually be both of the same worlds if you wish to”

She watched me closely like she was putting me under a spell. Alexa would say anything to prove her point and make me agree to whatever she has to say

“Oh c’mon, it’s entirely difficult and impossible to live in two worlds” I fired back

You can’t be Jack of all trades and master of none. That’s why I chose to pursue my passion for music and let my father deal with his company him.

She became mute and probably thought of her next words to me.

She bit her lower lip and continued.

I struggled listening to her after she had introduced a distraction. The act of her biting her lip drew my attention and I was in awe for a moment.

I found myself checking her out. Her silky red hair fell on her shoulder looking shiny even from afar. Her pale skin yet spotless and beautiful with her hourglass figure, her honey eyes that could turn one on and dimples that sat prettily on her cheeks. She was a extremely gorgeous. A living art

“Have you ever met a celebrity who needed the validation of a degree to be famous and successful on the spot?” She queried.

She broke the silence and it brought me back to reality.

She might actually have a point but it still doesn’t change anything. My father wouldn’t even let me sing randomly in the mansion while going about my day not to talk of taking up the career as an architect, grooming myself gradually to become the next in line as a CEO of my father’s company as well as making my passion for music a reality.

I sighed.

“You can actually chase your dream while working towards running your father’s company. It’s all complicated because you can’t seem to understand your father’s disapproval of your dream pursuit”

I bursted into laughter “hahaha” she never seize to amaze me. If there’s one thing I like so much about Alexa, it would be her cheerfulness. She’s so charming, cheerful and her presence lits one’s life. She has such beautiful aura.

I have never met someone as simple minded as her. She sees and talks about everything like it is so stress-free and easy to achieve.

“You’re so simple minded” I said

Her dimples grew deeper as she smiled sheepishly. Surprisingly, it does something to me. Something that I couldn’t explain.

“Thank you for the compliment” she blushed

“Thank you?”

Startled by how she pulled off a comment which was suppose to make her grumpy, I laughed. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. I was enjoying the fact that she was making me laugh heartily

Able to hold get myself together after a long minutes of laughing my soul out “Thank you, anyways for making me feel better” I said

“You’re welcome” she smiled again

There’s a thing about her smile. It was contagious and like a sudden beam of sunlight illuminating the darkest corners of the room, it flickered across her face like a hologram. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.

I maintained calmness, gradually pondering deeply about her. She’d think that I am trying to figure out how to start with the plans of existing in two worlds as one person. Well, I would need to think about that but at the moment, it was Alexa all in my head.

_”What would become of me if these thoughts of Alexa in my head becomes a reoccurring thing?”_ I thought

I gazed at her cute face as I debated on saying what’s on my mind or not.

“Should I say this? No, I shouldn’t.” Maybe I should” I critically thought

Tired of fighting myself over a mere talk which wasn’t really a mere talk because I actually was sincere about it all. I was able to grow balls to say what’s on my mind and exactly how it was

“Alexa?”

I called out her name to get her undivided attention. She turns her face to look at me. She looked puzzled. I’d look same way if I was in her shoes. She suddenly interwined her fingers nervously playing with them

She was patiently and eagerly awaiting my next move

“If I start doing what my father wants, would you like me and become my type?”

I winced at that.

“_Why would a boss like me ask my worker such question? I’m probably overstepping boundaries. I shouldn’t be doing this.”_ I thought

She stood at a place looking at me, grinning and unable to say a word. I don’t recall asking her to marry me, I wondered why she was speechless.

“Nevermind. I shouldn’t have said that” I quickly said trying not to ruin the atmosphere with such weird question.

She laughed softly and held my hand.

“Ummm.. Nolan, I…” She was about to say something when a call from my phone interrupted.

“A minute, please” I walked few steps away from her to take the call. Minutes after I was done, I came back only to figure out that she was gone.

I had mixed feelings immediately. I didn’t know if I was happy that she get to answer my weird question because it’d definitely make things awkward between us or if I was disappointed that she didn’t get to let me know if she’d like me.

I shook my head uncontrollably trying to shake off the whole scenery. Reminiscing her smile when she held my hand, I couldn’t help but smile sheepishly.
