One Night With The Billionaire

Ryan’s legs wobbled. He looked around him and at himself again before saying “pardon sir,” he felt he was having a migraine.

“The scumbag, who almost ruined the reputation of the Hudson’s holding, sabotaged the company’s design draft, made by Miss Jason. What punishment do you think he or she should be given?” CEO Jace explained in detail.

Ryan’s temple went blank. How was he supposed to say it, what if the CEO wants him to pronounce his own punishment and then work along with it.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

His temple suddenly showed beads of sweat. His palm became sweaty and he stammered “I.. I.. think we.. could just give her.. l mean hi.. m a warning, sir”

Arianna just bowed her head, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Warn him? Is that all, she could have lost her professional training and be banned from using her certification.

The Hudson’s holding would have lost their reputation as well if she hadn’t stood up to it’s defence. Now he talks about just warning the person? No, dear, it’s way more than that.

The employees murmured amongst themselves. What is Mr Ryan saying? Someone sabotaged the company’s design and almost ruined it’s reputation and he talked about merely warning him?

What kind of lame response was that? Ryan heard the murmurings and he knew everyone disapproved of his response. He glanced at the CEO and saw him staring at him with a killing intent.

“Silence” CEO Jace declared and glared at Ryan. Everyone was quiet and the conference returned to its usual serene atmosphere.

“Ryan Gongalo, you mean I should let the scumbag go free and simply warn him? So I should let you go after you sabotage the company’s design?

You have the audacity to betray your employer? You dare to connive with the former employee of this company to ruin your reputation of honesty?

How dare you, Ryan Gongalo!” CEO Jace Hudson declared, the atmosphere was filled with a compressed aura.

The employees glanced at each other and then at Arianna. The latter teared up, glaring at Ryan Gongalo. She felt pained as if Jace hadn’t told her about it at home.

There were other murmurings among the employees. How could Mr Ryan have done this to Miss Jason? Was he trying to hurt her and didn’t know he had crossed the Rubicon?

“I am sorry sir. I didn’t want to do it. But Miss Jason made me do it. I was only helping her and didn’t know things would take this turn..” Ryan Gongalo lied.

He had decided to drag Arianna along with him. If he gets ruined, she also gets ruined. He got to this point because of her. He was not usually like this, she pushed him to the point where he took such steps.

Arianna glared at him and so did the other employees. Chase Hudson squinted, this is going to be more interesting than he thought.

“It’s not something new that Arianna Jason is Mr Chase Hudson’s woman. I once caught her in the hotel with another man…”

Arianna was lost. How can Mr Ryan lie so much? He dares to say she gave him the design draft in exchange to keep her secret from Chase Hudson? Chase should never know she gone to see someone else in the hotel.

All the employees exchange glances again. So it’s really true. Arianna and Chase Hudson were together. Today, Ryan Gongalo had brought that gossip and suspicion to the open.

Ryan produced pictures of a certain morning when Arianna left the hotel and headed to the Hudson’s holding. The day, Mr Stanley was demoted.

Jace Hudson pinched the bridge between his eyes. This man is so mean and evil. He wants to drag Arianna down with him?

Arianna wanted to defend herself when Jace Hudson said “So what, are you Chase Hudson’s watch dog? Besides, did she also tell you to sneak into Chase Hudson’s office and make a copy of the draft?” CEO Jace asked.

The CCTV footage was displayed and Ryan was still thinking of self defence when CEO Jace Hudson said “Officers” and police men who were waiting outside came in and Ryan went down on his knees, begging.

“Sue him for theft, slandering and defamation of character” Jace Hudson declared and glared at Ryan Gongalo “you will rot in jail”

As Ryan Gongalo was taken away, CEO Jace simply excused himself and left the conference room.

By noon, Chase met Rosalinda in an agreed place. She reluctantly came. Chase had sent her a message that if she didn’t come around, he would storm her office and let everyone know what’s happening.

Rosalinda looked slightly chubby. She managed to step out of bed to meet him. She looked away, not interested in meeting his gaze.

“Want do you want, marriage or have the baby and let me be responsible for it” Chase asked without a single exchange of greetings.

“None,” Rosalinda snapped at him.
