The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“Here’s the man” He showed Irish “What!” Irish exclaimed in shock. “What?”Ethan asked, startled.

“Do you know him?” He asked, dropping his phone gently. “I.. i” Irish stammered.

She never knew the hate Morgan have for Harold is this much to the extent of hurting those around him.

She recognized that man as one of Morgan’s bodyguards the day she had went to see Ella. But she can’t tell Ethan, can she?

“No, i don’t know him. I’m just so shocked a responsible looking man can be that callous” Irish lied.

She’s just so confused right now.

“Ohh.. but he doesn’t look responsible to me. He looks cruel”Ethan shrugged glancing at the picture all over again.

“Well.. i hope the FBI agents promised to find him” Irish said.

“Of course, only that they didn’t get his face clearly enough to be scanned” “Ouch!” Irish shook her head.

“But I’ll be having another meeting with them tomorrow, I’ll get back to you when you resume on Monday”Ethan said.

“Okay, Mr Ethan” Irish said.

“Why does that ‘Mr’ sound odd to my ears?” Ethan raised a brow. “Huh?” Irish asked.

“Yeah, you should stop adding ‘mr’ to it.”

“What? No, i can’t do that” Irish swallowed, wondering what Ethan is up to. “Why not?” He asked, smiling like it’s no big deal.

“Other workers call you…”

“You’re not other workers and it doesn’t sound right to my ears when you call me that. I don’t just know why but I’m not comfortable with it” Ethan said.

“It’ll be disrespectful of me to call you… E.. than” Irish said. “Good! That sounds better”

“I can’t call you that” Irish said.

“That’s what i want you to call me” Ethan insisted. “You’re talking like it’s no big deal” Irish said.

“It’s not” Ethan said.

“Well.. i don’t think I’ll ever get used to calling you that ” Irish said.

“You will, the way you got used to calling me Mr Ethan”Ethan said air quoting the Mr. “I… i can’t, please Mr Ethan..”

“C’mon! ” Ethan interrupted her.

“This is gonna be hard” Irish said, wondering what other workers would think.

She won’t deny she loved how the name Ethan flowed smoothly out of her mouth but she should consider her work state.

Calling her boss by his name isn’t right, what would people think? Though she’s not someone who cares about what others think but…

“I’m your boss, i employed you. You should do what i want regardless of what others think” Ethan said and Irish gave a deep sigh.

“Is it that difficult to do?” He asked.

“Yes” Irish said. “Who would believe nothing is going on…. between… us if i just start calling you by your name ”

Ethan laughed “Don’t you want something to go on between us?” “Huh?” Irish asked, her cheeks going red and her heart beating fast. “Just joking” Ethan said even though he really meant it.

“Ohh” Irish said deeply embarrassed.

It was a joke and her whole body had responded to it.

She’s such a fool and a weak ass, she falls easily and her heart ends up getting broken all the time.

She had made up her mind and promised herself not to fall for anyone again after Harris broke her heart and she had kept to that promise until…

Until now.

“What’s wrong?” Ethan asked. “Uh? Nothing really” Irish said.

“So, do we now agree that you should call me by my name?” Ethan asked. “Yeah” She answered knowing how to go about it.

She’ll try not to even call his name in the presence of others but is that possible? What if she wants to talk to him?

Would she refer to him as flower or grass? Arrrhh!

“Ohh great!” Ethan smiled. ” I wanna hear you call Ethan now” “Huh?” Irish asked.

“Didn’t we just agreed that you’ll call me by my name?” “Ohh.. yes E.. than” She said.

“Wow. Again” Ethan grinned. “Ethan” Irish called.

“Again” “Ethan” “Again” “Ethan” “Again” “Ethan”

They both bursted out laughing..

“Shuu.. we’re gonna wake others” Irish said, still laughing.

**

“We should go to bed now” Ethan said when he heard Irish yawn . They were reading in the library in front of the already lit fireplace. “Yeah” Irish said closing her novel.

They both stood up and put their novels in their respective places…

“You’re leaving tomorrow morning right?” Ethan asked as they stepped out of the library. “Yes” Irish said, closing the library door.

“My regards to your family, i might have gone to work before you leave tomorrow” Ethan said. “Why do you still work so hard even when you already have everything, if you don’t even work at all, you still have lots of money that’ll last you for a lifetime” Irish said and Ethan smiled.

They were walking to their room.

“You’re not the first person to tell me that but i think I’m used to work, i can’t do without working. It’s part of me already all thanks to.. Carrle” Ethan paused sadly.

“Carrle?” Irish thought, she shrugged thinking it’s one of his ex’s.

” I can’t rely on the fact that i have enough money to last me for a lifetime and then stop working. It takes just seconds for things to change. Anything can happen.” Ethansaid.

“Thats true but how do you cope? You have so many companies. Don’t you have a personal assistant or something?” Irish asked.

They were close to her door.

“I had several PA’s in the past but they all ended up betraying me. I hate betrayals” Ethan said with so much emotion that Irish glanced up to look at him.

He looked hurt, like he had been betrayed several times.

Her heart softened and she found herself holding his hands.

“I don’t know why I’m saying this but… I’ll never betray you” Irish said and Ethan could see the sincerity in her eyes. His feelings for her doubled up and he had to resist himself from pulling her into a tight hug.

“Thank you” He said.

She nodded and slowly pulled her hands from his. “Goodnight” She said opening her door.

“Ethan” She added with a smile before closing the door.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
