Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 36 - Just a reminder of your promise tomorrow
“Jenna, why are you so busy, it's time for lunch.” Peggy had finished admiring Jenna's office and finally said. Jenna lifted her head, rubbing her temple tiredly. She really needed a break. “Casper said he'll take me out for lunch later.” Peggy's eyes narrowed at the remembrance of the rumours. She had even realized that Jenna, as a manager, was on the same floor as the CEO. No matter how she tried, she was tempted to believe that something wasn't right. “Are you talking about Mr Blade? Why do you address him so casually?” Peggy asked with an air of novelty.Jenna forced a smile. She couldn't tell Peggy everything like Kate since they hadn't been in touch for long. It was better to be cautious than to cry later in regret. “We were friends before I started working here,” she pressed her lips and said.She wasn't lying even though it wasn't the main reason. She met Casper before she knew he was her boss so she was still telling the truth. Peggy nodded her head thoughtfully.“No wonder
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 37 - There's no love between us
"Why did you purchase a new set of contraceptives?" Kate had dropped off Peggy and together with Jenna, they had just gotten to the living room when Kate saw the items and asked. She didn’t understand the reason why Jenna would still buy more when there was still some in the medicine cabinet."Do you think I don't know that Cathan sneaks in here? How can I be sure that you still have some left?" Kate crimsoned slightly at being caught. Cathan hardly shows up during the day but at night, he was sure to come. Kate thought that Jenna didn’t know but now, she proved otherwise. But the content of Jenna’s purchase was still too much, which made Kate curious."But you bought a lot. Does it mean?" Jenna’s cheeks were heating up at Kate’s teasing so she shifted her attention back to the purchase in her hand. "It means nothing. I'm just taking precautions." Kate’s brows knitted with worry. "You know he's not yours but you want to enjoy the little time you have with him?" "Is that wrong?" Jenn
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 38 - Tell me everything
Drake's shoulders hunched in anxiety, as he awaited her response. "I am not in the position to tell you the reason, I'm sorry." His countenance fell, as his fears began to surge through him. However, he had to feign some confidence to get the answers he craved. He straightened up, his voice laced with confidence. "But you can't do that. As a citizen, I have the right to know." The person at the receiving end didn't sound shaken. She seemed to know what she was saying. "The reason will be made known to you but not by me. I might as well inform you that the same rule applies to all ticketing offices." Drake could feel a blanket of hot waves covering him at the moment, he began to sweat profusely. "Wait, you...." The beeping sound was a clear indication that the person on the other side had hung up the phone. Drake ruffled his hair and went to wake Eve. They were in this together and as much as he now hated her, he needed her help. "You can't be sleeping. Wake up," he tapped Eve on
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 39 - Anna Strikes
At Drake’s apartment, he was oblivious to what had happened to Jenna, seemingly worried. The line disconnected by itself. Does it mean she was angry? Was she going to plead with Casper?Just as he was about to dial Jenna’s number again, he heard the sound of keys turning in the keyhole and hid the phone. When the door flung open, a woman wearing a black pair of skinny trousers, a black top, and a black jacket with her hair held in a ponytail walked in.Seeing how young she looked, Drake laughed internally. It won’t be difficult for him to escape. Somehow, he wondered why Casper would send such a feeble woman. After all, she didn’t look tough.The woman didn’t utter a word and walked directly to Eve with a bottle of cold water in her hand, pouring it on the sleeping woman. Eve woke up shivering from the cold. “Drake, what’s going on, who is she?” She asked when her eyes met the familiar figure before what happened an hour ago came flooding in. Drake turned his attention toward the woma
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 40 - Her name is Donna Wreath
Grandpa seemed to be in a good mood in contrast to Casper. He delivered the news as if it was a business deal worth billions of dollars. "The Wreaths have made a move. They want to see their son-in-law-to-be and become acquaintances." Casper felt a sharp pain, close to that of a terrible headache at what grandpa had said. He always assured himself that he had enough time but the Wreaths seemed to be in a hurry. He closed his eyes in frustration and opened it. An unfamiliar air of superiority circulated the dimly lit office when he looked at the sleeping figure on the sofa. He wouldn’t do anything to harm her."Why should they be the ones to make the move? They are paid by the Blades so they should lie low till we give the go-ahead,” Casper said insipidly.Over time, tradition never forbade the Wreaths from making the first move but Casper was using his authority to suppress the meeting between both parties. If Jenna found out that preparations were being made toward his marriage, he
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 41 - Caleb messes with Hunter again
“Yes, it’s all in here.” Hunter handed over a big envelope to Casper as soon as they entered his office together. His voice was hoarse from fatigue, as he suppressed the urge to give in to a nudging yawn. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slightly disheveled in his jeans and t-shirt. Since he was a shadow bodyguard, he didn’t dress in a suit like the others. Before Casper opened the document, his desktop phone rang. He beckoned Hunter to sit while he answered it.“Mr Blade, Grandpa’s seventieth Birthday is in a month. Should I announce a grand event?” The HR manager asked politely. It used to be an annual event but since Grandpa had retired, Casper needed to give her affirmation. Casper wasn’t completely heartless. Paving the way for the great was a way of paving the way for his own greatness. After all, it was also the opportunity for more business collaborations because grandpa was connected. Casper was now building his network while acquainting himself with the
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 42 - He called me dirty
Jenna never liked Armando from the onset. However, knowing that he was engaged to Amber, all she felt was pity for her former schoolmate. From the way Armando pestered her, she could tell that he wasn’t a one-woman man. Such a man would only give more pain than pleasure in the future.“No. I just saw him on his way to my boss’s office,” Jenna broke the awkwardness with her few words before checking a few more price tags, making her increasingly irritated. Why should these be so expensive?“Oh,” Amber was relieved. She thought something serious must have happened between them but she seemed to just be overthinking it.Armando knew his chances were ruined, now that Jenna knew he had a fiancé. He had to admit that he lost to Casper but he still wanted something with her. Anything. Even if it’s just friendship. “It’s nice to see you again, Jenna. That is your name right?” Armando stretched out his hand.Jenna didn’t accept his handshake and she hated the dirty look Amber kept giving her.
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 43 - You bring out the human in me
Casper had created a wonderful excuse to not meet with the Wreaths but he had time during the weekday to go shopping with that unfortunate girl. Grandpa had already connected the dots. That girl was messing with his grandson's mind and it was high time he stepped in to put him back on track. The person on the other side of the line was greatly startled. This wasn’t the right process. The two parties had to meet at least once to agree on the date of the engagement and the wedding. As the mother of the soon-to-be bride, she was a little hesitant about grandpa’s plan."I hope you have informed your grandson. He is the main character of the marriage. My daughter has been ready for four years now." By eighteen, the eldest daughter of the Wreaths was deemed ready for marriage but Casper was still undergoing training. Now, she was twenty-two."Leave my grandson to me. His marriage is my responsibility. Unless he wants to cut ties with the Blades, he has no right to refuse." This was grandpa’
