Billionaire's Love

Chapter 24

Alissa was doing her work, although she could hardly concentrate on it. It was slightly raining outside.

She stood up from her chair and stood in front of the window, capturing the beauty of the sky. It was

little dark and a shade of orange was there. She slide the window open and took a deep breath. The

knots in her head were getting untied. She felt relaxation taking over her.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" She heard a voice from next to her. She knew who it was. But for the first time it did

not bother her.

She kept her eyes closed and hummed. Though, she didn't know that Eric mentioned her in the

reference. Eric was captivating the beauty of Alissa. His eyes shined a bit. He was looking at her with

love. The passion he had inside of him for her.

"I am sorry" He said. Alissa slowly opened her eyes and turned towards him.

"Hmm?" She crunched up her eyebrows.

"I am sorry Alissa"

"For what?" Alissa pretended to act like she did not know what he was talking about.

"I am sorry for that night in the club a-and in my mansion. I didn't meant to make you feel like that" He

confessed.

"Listen, we don't get the apology just by asking, we have to earn it, which you have to do" Alissa said.

"H-how?" He asked.

"I'll give you one week. Prove it to me that you are sorry" Alissa said with a challenging look.

"I'll prove it to you" Eric said with confidence that Alissa doubted on herself if she was underestimating

him.

"Think once more" Alissa raised her eyebrow.

"No turning back now" Eric said and left the cabin. Alissa slide the window closed and started to do her

work.

These days she noticed a strange behaviour in Jade. She is acting all weird from the day Alissa went to

club. It feels like she is hiding something from her. She is not what she used to be. She has changed.

She is staying in her own thoughts, not listening to what Alissa is saying. Not eating properly. Alissa

thought that she need to talk to her today about everything that is going on.

Soon as Alissa completed her work she left for her house. She went home and opened the door with

the spare keys. As she opened the door she saw that Jade was nowhere.

"Jade" She called out.

"Jade" She yelled louder. No response. Now she was a anxious.

She ran towards Jade's room. She heard some sniffles from inside the room. She opened the door and

saw Jade on the bed crying her heart out. Alissa ran towards her and took her in her arms. She rubbed

her back and made her quiet.

"What happened?" Alissa asked.

She sobbed harder.

"Okay. Okay. Shh" Alissa said.

"We can talk about it later. Just go to sleep" Alissa stayed with her till she fallen asleep. She put the

blanket over her and left the room. Alissa was quite worried, that what must be there that Jade wants to

tell her about.

Alissa had lost the appetite of eating anything. She went to her room and changed into her night suit. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She switched on the mobile and started to to do something in it. Suddenly, she received a call. It was

from Eric. Her heart stopped for a moment. She picked up the call.

Alissa: Hello?

Eric: Hi

Alissa: Umm, hello sir.

Eric: Just Eric Alissa. Outside the office it is just Eric only for you.

Alissa: Okay si-....Eric...

Eric: So, you okay?

Alissa: Ah...Uh..Yes

Eric: I don't think so. You sound tense.

Alissa: No, it is not like that. Just quite tired.

Eric: Y'sure?

Alissa: Yeah....

Eric: Okay then. Just wanted to make sure that you are okay. Bye. Good night.

Alissa: Bye. Good night

And with that the call came to an end. Alissa knew that Eric wanted to talk about something else as

well. But maybe couldn't do it.

Do I make him... nervous?

Alissa thought

No, Alissa what are you thinking. You don't have a super model look that you will make him nervous.

Alissa thought.

She looked at her mobile for the last time and set the alarm. She lied down on her bed and slowly

drifted off to sleep.
