Billionaire's Reluctant Girl 10. Alice's Night with Vivian!
VIVIAN SCOTT Alice was stubborn. She tried to act tough. But behind that facade, I could sense some vulnerability. It felt like she was consciously hiding her interest in me, only to seem unaffected by my persona. Stupid girl! The harder she tried, the more evident it was. I was curious to know more about her. She pulled me like a magnet, and I allowed myself to go in her direction. Her refusals to my offers didn’t bother me because I could recognize she was only masking her emotions, faking her attitude. Oh well, I, of course, wanted to ensure I was right. So, tonight, I was going to test it. Putting a stop to my thinking, I turned to my right to watch the beautiful face sitting beside me. She swallowed her last piece of burger and smiled. “Thank you for the food, Mr. Scott.” “Call me Vivian,” I said, taking another cookie from her. “When you eat together, that too, in a car, you surely are friends.” She grinned at my point. “That’s a good logic. But technically, we aren’t fri
Billionaire's Reluctant Girl 11. Alice's Night with Vivian Part 2
VIVIAN SCOTTI looked at the attractive girl working in the kitchen in her short skirt and a white blouse. She had changed into comfy clothes before brewing coffee for us. Alice was a natural beauty. She looked good in whatever she wore, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her toned legs as she kept tapping her feet while brewing the coffee. “Here you go,” she said as she kept the coffee cup in my hands. The smell of fresh coffee hit my nostrils, and I inhaled it deeply.“Ah, this smells so good,” I said as I sipped coffee from the cup. “And it tastes heaven.”She laughed, making me forget the world for a few seconds. Man, this girl! She was killing me with her beauty.“Don’t tell me coffee is your weakness,” she giggled as if she caught me stroking myself. I agree that I made it obvious I was a coffee lover. But that giggle was a little too much. Unnecessary, I thought.“What do you like?” I asked her, hiding my thoughts.“I do like coffee. But I guess not as much as you.”“You judging
Billionaire's Reluctant Girl 1. Their First Meeting
ALICE RILEY"This is important. All I need is just ten minutes of Mr. Scott. I'm sure he wouldn't want to cancel the appointment now, especially after I have made it here." I persuaded the receptionist to get me the meeting with the CEO of Scott Group, Mr. Vivian Scott, who had canceled the meeting at the last minute due to an emergency.Had I not been an intern at Lexis Consultants, the legal consultant firm of Scott Group, I would have created a scene for not honoring my time, I'm sure. But I had to keep my cool. My career was important to me. I was furious inside but managed to hide it behind my fake smile."I am going to check again, Miss Riley. Please be seated." She answered politely.I slowly inched towards the couch fixed in the middle of the room and sat comfortably, throwing my handbag and the file on the seat next to me. Not having anything else to do, I pulled my phone out of the handbag and started browsing through my emails.A few minutes into my waiting, I started losin
Billionaire's Reluctant Girl 2. Her Timid Moment
ALICE RILEYI was still in shock after realizing the man I saw a moment ago, the man in front of whom I acted dumb, was no one but Vivian Scott. When he walked into the conference room, now fully suited, I couldn't help from going numb. Who could have expected the young handsome hunk to be the CEO? Didn't I imagine a middle-aged man with wrinkled eyes and greyed hairs, in his place?Thank god for making him get a call; I wanted a moment to relax my thudding heart. How could I face him after that dumb incident? Of course, I hated to look stupid.Lost in thoughts, I returned to my senses only when I heard Mr. Scott again. "Yes, Miss Riley, how may I help you today?"Did Mr. Scott sound polite and humble? I wondered as his deep voice reverberated in the room. He must have finished that phone call positively. He looked relaxed as he walked elegantly inside the conference room, and I cursed my luck.Pulling myself together to face the situation was still a task, especially after the shocki

ALICE RILEY "You are intelligent, beautiful, and determined. Vivian Scott isn't an easy man. I'm impressed that you got the signatures on time." Alexis Segal, the head of Lexis Consultants, appreciated my work in front of the entire department. I was back in the office after that awkward but successful meeting with the CEO of Scott Group. Just two months into my internship, I had gained enough goodwill from Mr. Segal that he put me to assist in managing the company's key accounts. Alexis Segal wasn't a total badass. He only acted as one when his crucial clients weren't handled well. I knew Lexis Consultants was the stepping stone to my ambitious career. One day, I wanted to run the best legal firm in the city. I smiled at Mr. Segal and returned to my section. As I occupied my seat, Maria and Sofia, my colleagues, waved at me. "How did it go?" Maria inquired. "Success," I grinned at her. "Thank god, we are saved. I wasn't ready to take the wrath of that badass, trust me," said So

VIVIAN SCOTT"And dinner meeting today at 6:30 pm. Ms. Riley from Lexis Consultants will accompany you." Kate, my assistant, was updating me about the day's schedule. "Alright," I replied and dropped the call. A meeting was fixed for tonight with one of our competitors to initiate the discussion on the possibilities of business acquisition. I had requested a legal attorney to accompany me to the meeting. As per Kate, Ms. Riley from Lexis Consultants was going with me. The name sounded familiar, and I started recalling it. Is she the girl I met three days ago in my conference room? Her stunning looks were still fresh in my mind. Didn't she go dumbfounded seeing me shirtless the other day? I had even cursed my luck as she barged into my room unexpectedly, but only until I saw her admiring my body. I had even enjoyed teasing her before leaving the room! But to be frank, I had no intention of meeting her again. It was only a moment's fun. Meeting pretty faces and seeing them getting fl

VIVIAN SCOTT Shutting down my laptop, I looked at the phone screen. The time was exactly six in the evening. An hour ago, my assistant had updated me that Ms. Riley would be here around six. She should be reaching any moment, and I picked up my blazer and phone and walked out. As I reached the parking lot, I saw a car stopped at the visitor's park, and there she was, looking like a boss lady. She was dressed in a beige V-neck blouse tucked into white dress pants and pointed-toe pumps and looked classy yet sassy. The way she walked up to me to greet me with oozing confidence, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She wasn't anything like the thunderstruck girl I saw three days ago. It would be a lie if I didn't admit she made my heart skip tonight. I shifted my gaze from her only when I heard her say, "Are we set to go?" I smiled at her and asked her to sit inside my car. We both were seated in the back seat as I wanted the driver to drive today. I usually preferred taking the driver for

The news must have spread before the official announcement. "What is it with you and Scott Group, girl? Did I hear you are now the key contact for them?" Maria almost attacked me as I occupied the seat beside her the following morning. Turning on my computer system, I flashed at her proudly. "Hard work pays off." When I said that, I meant it. I was working my ass off to build a career for myself. More girls in Lexis Consultants worked hard, too. But unlike them, I knew how to grab the opportunities. Of course, ethically. Glancing long across the cubicles to the entrance and then to the cabin of Mr. Segal, I turned to Maria, who was engrossed in her system. I asked, “Has he come in yet?” Maria reached before me today, and I hoped she might have a clue if Mr. Segal was in already. I badly wanted to talk to him. I wanted to know if my new responsibilities would mean I was in regular contact with Vivian Scott. “Do you mean the boss? Yes, he is in already. You could get a call anyti
