Diana and Mitchell had been best friends since high school and had basically gone through the worst and best in life by each other's side. Now at the age of 23 since they were both age mates, they were at that stage in life where they wanted to get their lives in order. Both were single and had gone through the system of education graduating with first class honors in university. Diana had a degree in marketing while Mitchell had one in catering and hotel management. Diana worked at one of the companies in town as their marketing strategist and Mitchell worked as a hotel manager in town, both jobs had good pay and they rented an apartment together so that they could split the expenses and be able to save up the extra money for future endeavors. As they sat in the living room of their two bedroom apartment that they rented, they watched TV while surfing social media sites just to catch up with the modern world
"Look at this" Mitchell said to Diana as she showed her an update from one of the gossip groups.
"What are-- it says tech billionaire brings his company into town as he wants to invest and create more job opportunities in our town " Diana said as she read the post." Hmm, I didn't know that we are going to have a billionaire in town "
" Are you thinking what I'm thinking? " Mitchell teased
" What now? " Diana asked. She knew that Mitchell had some of the craziest ideas and was ready to hear what she had to say now
"I say, we try to get this billionaire to date one of us. I mean he could be the solution that we have been looking for. Can you imagine having a billionaire boyfriend?" Mitchell asked
" I knew you were going to say something like that. First of all, nowhere in that post does it mention the billionaire neither does it show his picture. And isn't Global Tech one of the few companies whose owner is not known to the public? " Diana asked for clarification as she tried to reason with Mitchell," Besides, what if he's a seventy year old man? "
" Old guy I can work with, as long as he pays my bills and spoils me like the gem I am. And who says we can't dig up and know the identity of the billionaire? Can't be that hard, we can use our feminine side to get what we want"
" Oh my God. You are definitely giving me gold digger vibes right now. Okay, I can work with that. So you want to tell me, you think there aren't other girls out there who have had the same thought? " Diana asked
" Ok, don't you dare judge me. I'm young and I need money " Mitchell said with a bougie voice," and the difference between us and those other girls is that we are going to actually act on our plan instead of just thinking it through. So are you with me or not? " She asked Diana
" I don't know Mitch" Diana answered unsure of what to think of the idea
"Come on, what if he's a young rich billionaire who happens to be single?" Mitchell asked
" Why is it that people always think that billionaires don't have girlfriends or wives? " Diana asked
" Uuhm haven't you read every other book that has a billionaire? Most of them don't want to get attached to someone or they just have a cold heart " Mitchell answered
" And what if this rich billionaire has a cold heart? " Diana asked
" Well every cold heart just needs some warmth and eventually it'll melt" Mitchell asked
" You sound so sure. Maybe his heart is just too cold to melt" Diana said as she tried to discourage her best friend a little bit
"Stop being a negative Nancy and at least give some back up on this. If you don't and I become successful, don't come looking for me when you want some money" Mitchell teased
They sat together and surfed through the updates trying to get some more information about the billionaire despite Diana trying to avoid the whole topic but to no avail. Mitchell made sure that Diana helped her with stalking every activity of Global Tech to see any loopholes that would suggest who the billionaire is. According to all that they could find was that the company mainly invested in activities that involved people who were considered as the young generation from the ages of somewhere 18 to late 30s,therefore, they concluded that the billionaire was possibly around this age bracket. This excited Mitchell even more as she saw that the had an actual opportunity to find the man who was still young and would not be considered as too old for her. Diana just helped her best friend since she knew the chances of her actually getting the billionaire were slim to none. Upon further poking around, they found out that Global Tech was seeking to hire new people for their new building in town.
"Yes, finally! An opportunity" Mitchell said as she waved her phone in front of Diana's face. When Diana read the story carefully and started laughing
"I think you should read that story more carefully" Diana said with a smirk. When she read the post carefully, her joy suddenly turned into disappointment when she realized that the only job openings were in the marketing department. After a short tantrum, Mitchell had an idea and Diana could see it on her face
"What's that look for?" Diana asked
"I just had the craziest idea" she answered
" Oh no, if it's what I'm thinking, I'm not going to do it. There's no way I'm going to be your inside woman in that company. I already have a job" Diana said the moment she knew what Mitchell had in mind
"I'm sure it doesn't pay as much as this would pay" Mitchell reasoned
Diana had left the apartment to escape Michelle's desperate please for her to apply for the job at Global Tech so that she could have an inside person in the company. She went down the street and went into a coffee shop since she needed some caffeine in her system. She just didn't see it much of her concern and didn't want to quit her job so that she could apply at the company. While waiting for her turn in line, a young handsome man came and cued behind her waiting for his turn too. She hadn't had the opportunity to look at him better but she could smell his cologne on him and it was kinda intoxicating. It was not that concentrated but it was definitely enough to get her attention. By the time it was her turn to make her order, she was already getting tired of standing and when she walked up to the lady, her smile faded. The lady had on this no nonsense look and barely smiled back to any the customers. She ordered her coffee black with some cream on it to which the lady at the recept
What Diana didn't know was that Ryan was the billionaire genius behind Global Tech company. Despite his young age of 26, Ryan has accomplished so many accolades due to his knowledge and intelligence that many reporters claimed to me unmatched. Ryan was born in a family where he was the only child and found himself on the lower side of the society because his parents were poor. His parents decided not to have another child so that they could be able to at least afford taking care of him and meeting their needs at home. At a young age, Ryan was seen to be learning so much in a short time, something which made his parents hopeful that he would be able to use his brains in life and make the best out of life. By the age of nineteen, he had finished his high school in one of the low class schools in the neighborhood. He managed to get the highest score in the whole state, something that attracted someone into sponsoring him and taking him to one of the most prestigious universities in the w
When Ryan walked into his office, he saw Olivia by the desk going through some files before she noticed his presence."It's good to see you" he said to make his presence known to her to which she raised her head and gave him a warm smile"You're back, I've been wondering where you had disappeared off to since you weren't at your house this morning" Olivia told him"You went by my house?" Ryan asked a bit surprised" Yes, I wanted to check in on you. But the butler simply told me that he hadn't seen you since yesterday" Olivia answered" Ooh yes, I decided to spend the night at one of the hotels in town. Sometimes being alone in that big house gets the better part of me and I feel so lonely " Ryan said" But you have some staff around, how could you feel lonely? " She asked" There's a difference of having people and having staff around. No matter how much you try to make them comfortable or have a conversation with them, they still fear me as their boss. It's a relief that they don't
Meanwhile, back at home Diana was waiting for Mitchel to come from the shower so that she could tell her that she wouldn't be willing to quit her job just for the sake of getting into Global Tech. When Mitchell came out of the shower, she looked at Diana with troublesome eyes"Where did you disappear off to?" Mitchell asked" I just wanted to have some coffee and escape your devious plan " Diana answered" No matter what you say, you know that I'll still push you towards that job opening. If I were qualified, I wouldn't even have asked you but I'm also looking out for you. What if you get the job and I don't get Mr billionaire? It's still a win win. Have you seen the salary there offering here? My goodness " Mitchell exclaimed" I'm good where I am, the pay is good and I've adjusted to that working environment quite well"Diana defended himself" But you won't be able to make as much as they're offering here. Will you please just agree to send in your CV? If they don't give you any fee
While they were back in the apartment Mitchell kept eyeing Diana mischievously as they were preparing dinner"Can you quit looking at me like that?" She asked Mitchell" Like what? I'm not looking at you in any way" Michelle defended herself as she nudged Diana using her butt."I know what your doing and before you even start making it a fuss, the answer is either I don't know, don't want to know or no" Diana told her"You haven't even heard what I was about to say" Mitchell said with a sigh. She then looked at Diana with puppy dog eyes to get some sympathy. In addition to this , she puffed her lips and tried to make herself look as sad as possible. Just like when a baby is about to throw a tantrum after being denied something"That's not going to work on me and you should probably check on your noodles" Diana said as she noticed that the food was about to spill over from boiling making Mitchell react fast by turning off the burner."Close call," Mitchell said, "these noodles look goo
After a few minutes Ryan was at their doorstep with a bottle of expensive wine in hand. Mitchell was the one who opened the door for him as Diana was serving food for him. At the doorstep, Mitchell made sure to be loud enough for Diana to heard her "Hey handsome, that was fast" she said"Well, I was still around the neighborhood getting ready to head home and stuff like that. But since Diana invited me here, I thought it wouldn't be bad if I accepted the invitation" Ryan said as he handed her the glass of wine."My oh my. Boy you got taste. Where did you get this fine glass?" Mitchell asked as she walked him into the small dinning room."I just dropped by a liquor store and asked for one of their finest and vintage wine." Ryan responded as Diana welcomed him into the room with a hug. Despite it being evening, she noticed that his cologne was still strong and he still smelled fresh like he was straight from the shower. A bonus to her. He was still wearing the black suit which lacked t
And that's how I just got her to ask me to stay the night. So I gladly took on this offer and told her that it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel my intrusive thoughts start lurking around about all the things that we could do but since I wasn't aiming for that, I just pushed them aside. I leaned back into the couch and her movement on the couch made me turn to her to see what she was up to. To my surprise, she got up with the small blanket in hand and snuggled up next to me such that she leaned on my chest and her face was next to mine. With every passing second she snuggled closer and closer as if she wasn't comfortable enough. It was when I stretched out my arm for her to come closer and wrapped it around her when I saw that she was much more comfortable. I could feel her steady breathing on my chest as we watched another movie. No matter how much I tried to concentrate on the movie, I could feel her gaze shift from the movie to me a couple of times. She did this in a way that sug
Things were good for the next few days. I was talking to Diana on a daily basis and to be honest I couldn't tell if she wanted to just hook up or if she wanted more. At this point in my life, I wasn't really into getting into a relationship since my past had enough scars that humbled me. I know you must be thinking how can a billionaire have everything and still lack the love of a woman who is expected to stand by his side and make the perfect couple. The answer is simple, the same way a famous movie quote said, 'with great power comes great responsibility ' I also have a saying that goes well with my situation, 'with a lot of money comes a lot of responsibilities'. Funny, right? But that's the truth. The moment you find yourself in a position that's higher than everyone else either in terms of wealth or power, you never seem to know who are your actual friends or if their just people hoping to benefit from being associated to you. I learnt this the hard way. As I was in my house thin
