I Stole A Kiss From A Billionaire 180
SAINT’S POVI pushed the door to the private room open and nodded at the men that stood up to welcome me. I wasn't in the mood to bother with pleasantries so I went straight to the point.“Were you able to find out anything?" I sat down and looked at Aaron. He used to work at Baxter Group as the HR manager before Dad died and handed it over to me so when I was faced with questions, he was the first person I thought of."Yes, President Baxter.” He pushed some stacks of paper to me. "Luckily, I still had these with me. Sixteen to seventeen years ago, Ruby Blackwood worked in Baxter Group as your father's, Shawn Baxter, secretary.”I clenched my hands into fists. “Are you sure about what you're saying?" “Yes. She was his secretary for about a year before she resigned and then disappeared completely,” Aaron said.My eyes darted around, my blood rushing to my ears. I had called him after I spoke with mum yesterday, in disbelief at what she revealed to me. I closed my eyes and replayed our

LESLIE’S POVI turned around and mumbled, fighting against opening my eyes. I heard the door open and some footsteps but I stayed glued to the bed.The girls and I had only fallen asleep in the wee hours of the morning after talking and doing everything we could. I was spent and tired.“She is still sleeping." Even though she was whispering, Selene’s voice still seeped through my sleep.“It's okay. How was she last night?" Oh, that was Saint.“She seemed down when I first saw her but she loosened up later. In fact, she was the happiest. Or was she pretending?" “I don't know. Something was definitely bothering her yesterday but I can't seem to figure it out." “You don't have to worry. She will tell you eventually.”At that point, I was fully awake but I kept my eyes closed. It would be awkward to wake up when they were talking about me."We will leave now,” Saint said and a few seconds later, I felt hands lifting me up. I snuggled against his chest and let out a small sound. My eyes

LESLIE'S POVMy eyes stayed trained out the window as Saint drove into the Baxter compound. I clenched my fists trying to rein in my emotions but it was hard. “Leslie," Saint whispered, as if afraid a notch higher would scare me off and I turned him. “I need to see mum now. Do you want to come with me?" My throat clogged up and I found my head shaking frantically. “I…I'm tired. I would like to go in and rest instead.”"Okay.” He leaned in and kissed my forehead. "Don't sleep off without eating dinner, okay? I won't take too long and come back to make something for us.”I nodded and left the car, waiting by the side until he drove off. I sighed and rose my face to the heavens, the wind blowing my hair out of my face. “This sucks." I breathed out and turned to the house, almost jumping out of my skin when Selene appeared in front of me, her hands stretched out. “Surprise," she laughed as I clutched my chest. "What are you doing?” My voice trembled as I looked around. "Inviting you

SAINT’S POV“What's wrong? Did something happen?" I looked down at her as she ran into my arms, shooting my stress levels to the sky.She shook her head and hugged me tighter but I could still feel her sadness and frustration.I pulled away from her so I could see her face. Leslie was not good at masking her actions so no matter how hard she tried, I could always see through her.“Tell me what happened, Leslie," I urged. "Did someone say something to you?”She pulled away from me and rounded the table to her seat, the sudden distance between us unsettling me. "Everything is fine. I just wanted to hug you. Do I not hug you enough that you think me hugging you signifies that something is wrong?”“That's not—”"Truly, I am fine,” she interrupted and started to gather some files on her table. "I ended a meeting rather abruptly today and I need to fix that now. I will check up on you later.”She came over and kissed me on the cheek before leaving me alone. I sighed as I stood awkwardly in

LESLIE’S POVMy fingers drummed against my forehead as I tried to make sense of it all. I had gone to the cemetery myself and I saw her gravestone. Was it possible for my mum to come back to life?My heart was light and heavy at the same time. My mum could possibly be alive but Raine could also be the one holding her captive.Wasn't this too cruel?“...we had to come up with a contingency plan right on the spot and used temporary materials while the shipment continued to delay. What do you think about this, ma'am?”I sighed and shook my head. None of this made any sense. Why would Raine know where my mum was? She didn't even know her. But then again, her reaction to my mum's name was heavily suspicious.“Do you not like what we came up with? It was urgent so we had to decide on our own?" What was I supposed to do? Should I ask Saint for help? I shook my head almost immediately at the thought. This was a rather sensitive topic that involved his mother and mine. I didn't want to tell

LESLIE'S POV“Are you sure you are okay to go to work today? You can take the day off, you know?” I sighed as I helped him to fix his tie. "A few days won't hurt the company." “There's no reason for me to do that for an ordinary hand injury." He flexed his fingers. “It will heal in a few days so you don't have to be worried." "You never listen to me.” I pulled the tie to his collar before he took over from me. “Hey, that's not true." His hands spanned my waist as he pulled me closer. “But I can't stay at home. The video we made will be aired today both in the company and worldwide. I can't miss it." “Fine but I will be checking on you at every interval." “It sure feels nice to be injured. I look forward to that." He kissed my forehead and pulled away. “Let's go." I snatched the key before he could pick it up. “I'm driving." “As my wife pleases." We got to the office in under an hour and passed the lobby, rather than the private elevator, so we could see the video showcased on
