Все главы TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD : Глава 41 - Глава 50

It wasn't until late in the afternoon that Mathew had some free time to go for his lunch break. As he made his way out of the company's building, he dialled Audrey's number. She picked up at the third ring. "Hey charming," her enchanting voice rang out from the other line, sending jitters down his spine. He immediately started to grin like a fool. "Hey Audrey, I am so sorry I am calling this late. I am only just having my lunch break now. I hope it's not too late for us to eat lunch?" Mathew's voice shook as he spoke, all at once, in one breath, with his shaky voice betraying his nervousness. Audrey first let out a short chuckle before saying, "It's fine Matt, I have been so busy myself. I will text you the address. How long is your lunch break?" she ended with a question. "Umm, well, twenty to thirty minutes give or take," he replied. "Great. See you soon!" What followed was the beeping sound indicating that she had disconnected the line. Almost immediately his phone beeped aga

"Meeting dismissed," Jake Conat spoke with an air of finality, rising from his seat and starting to make his way to the conference hall's exit. Micheal and Mathew rose as well and trailed closely behind him. "What is the next thing on my schedule?" Jake asked just as they got to the end of the hallway they had been walking through. Taking a bend, the trio came to stand by the VIP elevator used exclusively by Jake Conat and his assistant, or in this case, assistants. Moreso, his son and mother used the VIP elevator whenever they came to the company. Micheal reached out to press on the button and the doors opened, they all stepped in. "Well, you don't have anything until an hour from now. In an hour, you have a dinner meeting with some of our business associates," It was Mathew who gave Jake a reply to his question while glancing through the iPad in his hand where Jake's schedule was opened. Jake simply hummed, and then fetched out his phone from his trousers pocket. The elevator soon

A heavy sigh escaped Maddie's throat as she closed the door of her bedroom behind her after stepping into the room. She moved straight to her wardrobe and opened it, reaching for the upper part of it to bring down a small wooden box. Maybe it was because of Jake's question but now her mind was flooded with the dream she had buried. Bringing the box along with her to the bed, Maddie sat on the bed and heaved in another sigh, even more heavier than the previous one, and then she pulled the box, which she had placed on the bed in front of her, closer. The box had a latch in its corner, her hands reached for it to pull it open. Reaching inside the box after opening it, Maddie took out a book with thick leather covers that looked ancient. There was a pen inside the book with a small part of it hanging out of it. She heaved in another sigh as she flipped the book open, starting from the first page to reveal drawings of clothing designs and as she flipped more pages opened, more designs w

The local children's park was packed full with children and their parents or guardians. As Maddie and Andrew made their way into the park hand in hand, she observed the environment and reminisced on her childhood years when her parents would bring Mathew and her to the park to play. Her family hadn't been perfect but they had given her brother and her so much love and affection, their time… The park had greenery, various types of plants, and birds made their nests there. The park was designed smartly, keeping all age groups in mind, and even had benches, placed in shade structures, so that people who got tired could sit down. There were different amenities and equipments in the park, ranging from Sensory-rich playgrounds, which included things like tunnels, activity stations and play houses, water play, slides, swings, merry-go-round, ziplines, climbers, balance beams, crawl tubes, rope netting, picnic tables, rocking animals and more. There were also challenge courses for the older

Jake filled up his plate and his son's plate as his son excitedly narrated to him everything that had transpired at the park that day. Jake's expression remained neutral as he listened to his son as attentively as he could, occasionally nodding in understanding, but he knew he was just fooling himself. It was hard to focus when he was well aware of the glare of the lady sitting across him but he was determined not to even spare her another glance.He had experienced a brief moment of weakness when he had turned to look at her back in the hallway. Those chocolate brown eyes of hers, warm as the smile she had given him, had almost melted his ice cold eyes and heart alike. It was a good thing that he had looked away from her as quickly as he had, now he just had to go through dinner with her sitting there looking all sexy and provoking the masculinity within him, with the pout that had formed on her face, giving away her anger. He wasn't looking at her but he could tell the expression sh
