Entangled With The Billionaire Player 06: 900 Million For a Land
Since the room had dim light, I could not distinguish the face. 7 days had passed in a blur. It was true when they said that time passes and you don't even know it when you are happy in your space. Taking out a black dress from the closet, I was alleviated. I was finding an occasion to wear it, and this current time could not be any better. "All the preparations have been done, Boss. We're waiting for your orders." I nodded, my words oozing with confidence, "It's time to get our land back." Reaching there, the first thing I did was to meet the one who allowed the land to be a part of the auction. "Nice to see you again, Mr Kingsley." "M-Miss Ford, you're here..." Douglas Kingsley let out a nervous laugh. "Mr Kingsley, you don't seem happy after seeing me." I raised a brow. "N-No, I am! I am delighted to have you here. It's just... I'm surprised to see you attending today." "Well, I got an invitation," I flapped the invitation card in front of his face. "You see I couldn't le
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 07: Show-stopper
"Lighten up already. Why are you in a sullen mood!?" When I met Sarah, she easily detected what I was keeping in me. Uncle Max was a pretty laid-back person and advised me to look forward to the future instead of dwelling on the past. But a thought that still poked my heart and mind was: My hard work was stolen, and things like this had never occurred to me. That damn Atkinson. I will scratch his handsome face if I see him ever smirking at me again. "You don't know what happened to me this weekend," I grumbled. It was a happy-sad situation I was in. "It's my show, Vicky! I'll not be able to focus if you remain sad." Sarah exclaimed, her eyes large. Sighing, I got up and grabbed her shoulders, standing right in front of her. She was cute when she tried to look taller than me. She was 5'4 and I was 5'6. "Alright, Sarah, I'll try to be positive." I showed a small smile. Sarah was my best friend and she invited me here. I should support her instead of spoiling the great atmosphere.
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 08: Let's Dance
"Why are you smiling?" I narrowed my eyes. "Because you, Victoria Ford, are the most powerful woman I have ever seen. It's evident the board members will be afraid of you." "They respect me!" I lightly punched his arm making him wince. "Literally too." I rolled my eyes. "Why are you here in this room?" "Do you know who your partner is?" Blinking my eyes, I asked, "...I have a partner?" "Sarah." After a minute, we both sighed in unison. "God!" "I have never seen any place this packed before!" An excited Sarah hurriedly entered the room before she paused and gushed at the two of us. "You're both ready. Look at you two! Gorgeous." "Sarah, tell her who is her partner," Ben said. Judging by her sheepish expression, I could tell she had forgotten to inform me. Typical of her. "So he's my partner?" "Yeah... The gown you're wearing defines regalia, my next clothing line, and it needed a partner. I knew you don't get along with strangers, so I called Ben to accompan
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 09: A Discord In The Club
I felt my head shake as the world around me spun. The familiar music was blaring. The people were busy swaying their bodies to the rhythm. I glanced at Sarah helplessly, who had started getting tipsy from one glass of her drink. I knew she could not hold her liquor. "You aren't old. Don't act like one, Vicky. Match my pace." Pouting, she grabbed my hand and started doing those moves I adored. As a minute passed, I could not help but match with her. A careless laugh escaped my mouth as I moved. The high school dance class we both used to take came to my mind. After all these years, I still had not forgotten any single step. As if it were only yesterday that we learnt dancing. A hand suddenly touched mine, and I looked up to see none other than Mr Arrogant of all. What was he doing here? Was it not much of a coincidence? First Auction. Then Sarah's Fashion Show. Now this club. As the saying goes, enemies are destined to meet on a narrow path. I kept meeting him, an
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 10: Have Faith in Me
Aaron Atkinson smirked, "I thought Miss Ford's anger must have faded away after you made me spend hundreds of millions on an abandoned piece of land." "Why did you compete with me if you didn't want it in the first place?" I gritted my teeth, yet a smile remained. An abandoned piece of land? Someone was trying to have it for years, you ungrateful man. "Reasons," He said, his eyes mysterious and wicked. "Babe, where were you!" A screeching voice clashed with my ear drums. "My friends and I have been waiting for you for ages!" I watched as a woman in her twenties made her appearance and linked her arm with his, "And who might she be, darling?" Her eyes raked over me like a hawk, analysing me from head to toe. Sarah then stood beside me, as well as Jackson. A recognition passed her eyes as she pursed her lips, refraining from what she was about to say about me. Sarah and Jackson were famous among people due to their businesses. Being surrounded by famous friends is a life e
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 11: The Mysterious Shareholder
A voice I had come to be familiar with resonated in the large room. Each eye went towards the entrance door. "I apologise that I came late. I was occupied by some matters."I gripped my hands tightly, yet I did not show the frustration on my face. He was the shareholder after all this time! "Mr Atkinson!" All the people were wide-eyed as they stood up from their chairs, welcoming him, except for me. "You were the shareholder behind? What a surprise." The disgruntled tones were replaced with honeyed words. How hypocritical. "We're lucky to have you, Mr Atkinson." "Yes, yes, it's good to have you here, Mr Atkinson." "Our company must have accomplished something to receive Mr Atkinson's attention." He donned a navy blue tailored suit, walking in a dignified manner. Glancing at the whole room, he came to sit beside me on my right. His eyes locked with mine, staring at me. "It's you people who are lucky to have a hardworking and devoted CEO like Miss Ford. If she were mine, I wo
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 12: Happy Cooperation
The news of Aaron Atkinson's connection with Empire Group of Industries was spread like wildfire. Many companies struggled to contact Empire and be a part of it. I hated every single second of it. "Have you got the details of which deals he's going to be signing?" "...Boss, is this the right thing?" Michael seemed unsure. "Didn't he say he wants to be associated with Empire Group of Industries? I'm simply making his wish true," I typed the email and pressed the button, sent. Atkinson Group might be a top company, dominating other businesses, but Empire had the experience of 67 years working and was the best company until Atkinson came into the picture and pushed it to the 2nd position. The company Aaron was going to sign a deal with, required expertise and work experience to ensure the deal between the two would go smoothly with no problems. Empire could provide it better since we had both which Richmond Corporation needed. "Let's visit Mr Richmond today." I closed th
Entangled With The Billionaire Player 13: Invitation to a Just-a-Dinner Date
"As new partners, how about we have dinner this evening, Miss Ford?" Leaving Mr Richmond's office, I halted when I heard Aaron the midway. "I'm not like those partners of yours, Mr Atkinson. I don't go on dates with just anybody." "Eek!" I almost staggered when I felt that the heel broke, thankfully it did not. "Be careful. Don't wanna fall that easily, do you, Miss Ford?" His warm breath hit my face, making me freeze. Since when did I allow him to get this close to me!? "Let go, I stand with what I have said. I don't go on dates with anybody. And definitely not you." Shooting daggers at him, I resumed walking away. "Ouch," Following me, Aaron pursed his lips, "I'm hurt that you think of me like this." He put a hand on his chest as if my words had injured him. "I didn't say anything when you tried to steal my business contract, did I?" I choked up when I he
