บททั้งหมดของ A Game Of Deceit with the Billionaire: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Vanessa's povI didn't have time to rest because the moment I got home, I began to put my scattered apartment together."I hate you so much, Mr. Cole," I snarled. I didn't hate him. He was too handsome to be hated. What I hated was the fact that he always found a way to make me angry.Because I needed to be early today, I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put on a red dress and a black jacket, matching it with black shoes. I packed my hair into a ponytail, sprayed on some deodorant before rushing out the door.It was almost seven thirty and I was supposed to be there before my boss arrived. I ran out of my house and made sure I secured the lock of my door before I stopped a taxi."Where to, ma'am?" He gazed at me from the rear view mirror."Trenton's Inc," I replied, feeling nervous about going late."Okay, ma'am." The drive to the office was a quiet one, and I was glad he was because with the way I felt, I didn't know if I would be able to talk properly."Thank yo

My legs felt like jelly when I rose to my feet to pick up my bag and clear his table. I felt relief washing over me when I was done stacking the files neatly on his desk. At least, he didn't complain about the way I worked today. I walked out of the office and said goodbye to some of our colleagues before boarding a taxi."I'll make a stop at the nearest pie shop." I told the driver, and he nodded at my words.During the short drive, I gazed out the window, observing the city's tall buildings, lights, people wandering about, and everything that made New york come alive. Ever since I got this job, I hardly had time for myself, and I no longer strolled like before."We're here, ma'am. Am I to wait for you?" He asked, and I nodded in response before dropping from the car.As I walked into the pie shop, the door made a ringing sound, making an elderly woman who stood behind the counter aware of my presence. "Welcome to Maddy's pie. What can I get you?" She asked with a wide smile that

I gazed at Shelly, and even though I trusted her, the grin on her face made me doubt her a little."Are you worried?" She asked, and I nodded. I used to be the wicked one, but now it seemed like it was the other way around."What's the plan?" I asked in worried murmur, and I laughed out loud."It's not complicated, and in order for it to work, you have to be bold." I sighed, trying to catch my breath, but the pressure I was under didn't let me."Don't worry dear, it's not hard. It's something that would make him regret his actions for sure." She came closer to me and whispered the plans in my ear."Ohh, you're good." I burst out laughing because I imagined his face after the plan had been carried out."He's going to regret messing with you, girl." She laughed and began to go through her phone."What are you doing?" I inquired with a straight face. "Well, getting all the things you need for the plan ready. Micheal would pick it up for me." "Wow, Micheal?" I had totally forgotten abo

Vanessa's pov.I was shocked by Cole's gesture this evening and I couldn't help but get angry. He was using me for a show and pretended to be who he wasn't in public."Mr Cole, is this your new girl?" Another young business man and I buried my head in shame because of the way they spoke about me."If she's not, can I have her, she's so pretty." I hated the fact that I couldn't slap those naughty thoughts off their faces."Well she's mine okay? And you can't have her." Cole's voice sounded angry and I gulped the lump that was in my throat.Fancy dinner parties aren't my thing plus, they were making me feel uncomfortable."Would you look at the time, I and my love have to get going, right love?" I shot him an angry glance before playing along."Yes. It was nice having dinner with you all and having to spend time talking about business." "Excuse us." Cole spoke before taking my hands in his and walking away like with me."What was that for?" I glared at him when we were out of the place

"Sir, I have to finish quickly, we need to leave the office on time to prepare for the party," I replied, already feeling frustrated."So does that mean you're eager to go to the party with me?" He finally stopped leaning on my shoulders, and I eased my muscles."Hey…" his voice trailed off when he saw one of my colleagues. "What are you doing here?" Cole's tone hardened, and the playful countenance he had disappeared."It's lunchtime, sir. Vanessa and I often have lunch together," He replied. One could tell he was scared, and I, too, was scared for him as well.Andrew was an employee at Trenton's Inc. He had been working there for two years, and he was one of the person's who helped me feel better after Cole's tantrum."Is this what is happening in this office?" Cole asked, and even when I didn't want to speak, I couldn't understand the point he was trying to make."Andrew and I are just friends." I got up from my seat."Where do you think you're going?" He clasped my wrist. "It's l
