A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Fifteen Million Dollars

KNOX MARTINS BEACH HOUSE

“Who is old lady?” Eretia questioned.

“Elaina Martins.” Knox replied.

“Oh your mother!” Eretia smiled but it soon faded when he snapped at her.

“She is not my mother!” A deep frown crossed his face.

“And why are you denying your mother?” Eretia met his gaze but Knox was quick to look away.

“How much did she offered to get you to agree to work for her?” Knox asked.

“That’s between your mother and I.” Eretia answered.

“Tell me.. I am willing to pay more right now.” Knox offered.

“Why?” Eretia scrunched up her face.

“I don’t need anyone around here.” Knox replied looking straight into her eyes.

“Why?” Ereria asked again.

“I like being alone.” Knox responded.

Eretia folded her arms. “So how much do you have to pay me off?” She didn’t break the eye contact.

Knox tried to think. “Can you pay me a sum of fifteen million dollars?” Eretia stated.

Knox Martins eyes widened. “For what?!” His jaw went slack immediately.

“So I won’t work for you or your mother.” Eretia replied with a shrug.

“Okay… give me your account… details I will pay it by end of the week.” Knox Martins stuttered.

“Then I will leave by the end of the week when you have the money.” Eretia dropped her folded arms to hold her box.

“I am not letting you into my house. Go and tell that old lady you gave up.” Knox said in a commanding tone.

“I am sorry I won’t be able to do what you just said to me. All you have to do is pay me fifteen million dollars then I will leave to tell your mom I give up on working as your maid at home and personal assistant at work.” Eretia flashed him a smile.

“What do you want? Say something.. no ask for something else.” Knox said.

“Have I done anything wrong? I just want to work for you, Mr Knox Martins. Oh maybe he is still inside.” Eretia made am attempt to move towards the door but Knox blocked her pathway.

“Leave or else I will call the cops.” Knox had a stern look on his face but he meant otherwise in his mind. Knox didn’t want to admit that he wanted her to stay.

All of a sudden Eretia leaned in and placed her hands on his chest. She must be a toucher. Knox Martin thought. He tensed up as jolt of electricity ran down his spine and his middle clenched at her touch. He stepped away from her quickly as if her touch just burnt him.

“Don’t you ever touch me again! Leave before I call the cops!” Knox gritted in a harsh voice.

“I am not scared of the cops.” Eretia said sternly.

“I have heard a lot of things about you. So stop being stubborn and tough because I won’t give up. Let us stop this conversation and go in because I can see snow making it way down to the earth slowly.” Eretia sighed.

“And who says you are coming in with me?” Knox snorted.

“Me says I am coming in with you. Look I won’t be staying for too long, at least for a month or two months and I will be gone.” Eretia pushed her way passed him, leaving her box behind as she moved to the door.

“Open up and let us go in.” Ereria said.

Knox nodded in agreement and her face brightened that he agreed to let her in. “Step aside.” He ordered.

“Why?” Eretia asked.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“I can’t let you see my password.” Knox answered.

“What’s so special about it? I need to know it as your maid.” Eretia pouted her lips that made her face look so cute.

“You are not scared of the cops right?” Knox asked trying to distract her.

Eretia nodded her head in response. He watched her for seconds without pressing the buttons. Eretia felt uncomfortable by his stare and she stepped backward. He was so different from Oliver. She thought

Knox occupied the space to hide his pins from Eretia. The door buzzed and it opened.

“So childish.” Eretia mumbled.

“Go and get your box.” He instructed her.

The box was quite far to the door so she went for it. Knox Martins stepped in quickly and shut the door. He just played her.

“Hey!” Eretia banged on the door. “You are so childish, Mr Knox Martins!” She hissed out loudly.

“I shouldn’t have agreed to get the box.” Eretia grumbled and stamped her feet on the ground. “I should have suspected it.” She hit the door with her foot and screamed in pain at the same time.

“Bad ass boss! This is so annoying!” She grimaced in frustration.

Eretia hoped that Knox Martins would change his mind and open the door before snowfalls or else she would freeze to death out here. And soon her phone buzzed, she took it out of her jacket pocket. It was Oliver Scott.

She cleared her throat. “Hello Oliver.”

“Hi, how are you doing, Eretia?” Oliver asked.

“I am fine. How are you doing too?” Eretia waved at the video intercom.

“Have you settled down in his home?” Oliver questioned.

“Oh yes… I just finished arranging the house. And my boss just got back home. Don’t worry I have got everything covered, Oliver.” Eretia rushed out her words.

“Well.. If you are not comfortable there.. you can come back home and get a better job.” Oliver replied.

“I am fine. And thank you.” Eretia said.

“Okay.” Oliver mumbled.

“Extend my greetings to Ryan too.” Eretia added quickly.

“Take care.” Oliver hung up the call.

Knox was looking at Eretia from inside. He noticed that she was on phone and he assumed that she was calling the old lady.

“This old lady doesn’t listen. But let us see how long you can put up with me-” Knox paused and then he realized that she didn’t tell him her name. It was his fault! He did not give her the chance to introduce herself.

“What’s wrong with me? This is a great chance to get to know her.. but-” Knox paused and waved it off like it didn’t matter to him. He motioned towards the kitchen to prepared dinner.

“She would leave after some minutes.” He grumbled.

A hour clicked by and he cursed under his breathe when the doorbell sounded but he ignore it. He carried his food to the video intercom area and saw that she was still there. Knox glanced out the window and it was already snowing.

“She would get cold and call the old lady that she wants to quit.” Knox said to himself.

“Two hours more and she would get tired and leave.” He concluded.

Eretia pulled off her heels and buttoned up her coat to avoid cold. She fought the strong urge to call Mrs Elaina Martins and tell her that she wants to quit the job.

“No.. no.. you can do this Adella. You can’t quit too soon. You can’t give up.” Eretia let out a shaky breathe as she encouraged herself.
