Rejected by the Billionaire's Family Chapter Thirty
Nicole;All the way to Alex's house, in his car, I keep asking myself what the hell I have just done. With each passing minute, I'm filled with more and more anxiety. From my peripheral vision, I see hims cast suspicious glances at me every once in a while. I bet he's just as surprised as I am at what I've done. I continue to stare out the window, cringing inwardly with each time I recall the memory. His house is located in a high-end part of town and I hope I'm not staring too much as we make our way past the street. We pull up into a luxurious apartment complex and he brings the car to a halt. The valet immediately rounds the car and takes Alex's keys from him and I follow him meekly as he makes his way inside. The insides of the building is all in chrome and gold, the lighting so bright and magnificent that I actually feel my jaw drop just a little before I remind myself to close it. We get into the elevator and make our way up quietly and again, with each minute, I'm wondering wh

Nicole; I open the room door in the morning to see a gift bag waiting for me. Tentatively, I reach for it and retreat back into the room. Pouring out it's contents, I see a box fall out first. I open it to see a pair of folded black pants and a burgundy silk shirt, very much my style. I peer at the shirt suspiciously, not missing the fact that it is in Alex's favorite color. Was that intentional? In the bag again is a pair of nude stilettos, some makeup and a pair of underwear. My cheeks heat up at the possibility of Alex shopping for underwear for me. I slump back on to the bed, running my fingers through my hair in exhaustion. I feel reluctant to go downstairs now that I know the possibility exists. I glance at the wall clock, it's just a few minutes past 6. I fall back on the bed and groan mentally. With the luxurious bed, it was hard not to have a good night's sleep. Much against my will, I found myself drifting off to oblivion, awakening only a few minutes ago. I wonder if there

Nicole;With each step filled with anxiety, I march closer and closer to my office. The nerve endings of my body are all alert and at some point, I know I'm not just imagining it anymore. Everyone is staring at me. I walk briskly into the elevator and just before the door closes, a small group of staff join me. I don't bother telling them good morning because I highly doubt they will answer. I take a step back, tucking myself into the back of the group and hopefully, away from their intrusive eyes. They get off a few floors before the top floor and as the doors close again, I see a few of them turn back and cast a suspicious glance my way. Now that is top notch worrisome. I get to Alex's floor and head towards my office. I'm just dropping my things on my desk when my telephone rings."Nicole Webster". I call out into the phone."Come to my office, will you?". Alex says briskly and just like that, the call is ended again. He might have tried to sound polite but that damn well still sou

Nicole;I'm not a department head but it's imperative for me to attend the meeting too. I trudge behind Carina as we make our way to the room. She doesn't let go of any chance she gets to make her dislike clear for me on her face. With my back straight and my mouth set into a hard line, I do a good job of ignoring her. I'm way too preoccupied with own thoughts. Why would Alex complicate things with such a reply? I'd have liked to have a word with him before the meeting but he's still on the call. I'm racked with nervousness as I follow Carina into the conference room. The department heads are already seated and their heads swivel in our direction as the door opens. But they are not looking at Carina, their eyes land on me and with each step I take deeper into the room, I can't feel the intensity of their gazes as they follow me. By the time I settle down into a seat, I'm beyond uncomfortable. Thankfully I don't have to spend a moment of awkwardness with them as the door opens and we

Nicole;It's finally the day. I ignore the nervousness jangling in my nerves as I take in my appearance in the mirror. After alot of contemplation within a very limited amount of time, I finally went for a white dress. Why not? I've worked so hard for this project, handled the whole ingredients research with my team back at my former workplace and came to do more work at the Galaxy. As exhausted as I am, I do feel like a brand ambassador and I have to dress as one. To top it all up, I got to shop for free at the Galaxy Couture. And I went for something expensive.The long dress is made of a clingy material, hugging all the soft curves of my body in all the right places. It's sleeveless and on the neckline, there's a sharp V cut that gives a sexy tease of my cleavage. There's only so much I can do with my short hair so I decided to tight curl it. For a moment, I did miss my long hair but when I was done, the feeling was no more. The tight curls look gorgeous and I was glad I went for t

Nicole;It isn't such a hard job like I expected, gently but firmly holding on to Alex's arms while smiling like a pretty doll. The journalists are throwing so many questions at us, some about the project and the upcoming night and some others about our supposed relationship. Listening to them is a hassle so I simply don't, instead choosing to focus on the aggressive clicks of their cameras. Just when the discomfort begins to set in, it's almost like Alex can feel it. He pulls me in just a tad closer and together we make our ways inside. It's only when the door closes behind us and their voices become muffled that I extract my arm Fe Alex's and let myself sigh in relief. Alex looks down at me in mild concern."Are you okay?". He asks. I nod just a bit too fast and his eyes narrow at me suspiciously."Nicole….". He takes a step closer to me and I glance around in a mild panic, scared of someone seeing us. Thankfully, the enormous lobby doors have been shut behind us, blocking out the j

When I hear the voice behind me, I feel my mouth twist into a sneer. This party is literally the gateway to hell, and it's creatures are slowly crawling out. I take a leisurely sip of my champagne before turning around and there Jared is, dressed in a horrendous blue tuxedo. "That's ugly". I say, my eyes fixed on the three-piece as I take another sip of my drink. He chuckles loudly and glances down at himself. "So I thought too. But this shit cost me $7500. Ain't no way in hell I'm not wearing it out". "Good for you". I mutter under my breath, disgruntled. From the corner of my eye, I see Alex at the far side of the room, making small talk with some executives. The product will be launched by midnight and we hope to hit a sales record in less than an hour. And it'll all be displayed live here. The excitement in the air is palpable and for once, I feel like it's only moments like this that these people allow their feelings align towards a common goal. In the end, they are all hoping

This is the moment they've all been waiting for and I should be anxious that I'm feeding it to them but with Alex by my side now, I don't. I drag him along with me to the bathroom, flashing a smile to anyone who is unfortunately enough to meet my eyes. I can hear the slight hesitation in Alex's steps and I understand. But we need to talk privately, and it has to happen now. We enter the luxurious bathroom area and I pull him into the male bathrooms with me and lock the door behind us. When I let go of his arms and turns to face him fully, his eyes are fixated on mine, a certain excitement obvious in them. I hate to break it to him but that's absolutely not the reason why we are here."Apparently your friends are just rich. They aren't exactly good at pretending that they aren't staring at people". I say leisurely as I stroll towards the washbasin and look at myself in the mirror. Alex chuckles silently behind me and I rest my both arms against the sink, eyeing him in the mirror. "How
