All Chapters of The Billionairess's Reckoning : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

*A few minutes earlier.*Alice stood in front of Rose's desk, begging her to rethink her decision."Come on Rose, try to look into the bigger picture. There is no point in doing this. Besides, you heard what happened after she got promoted," Alice begged her."What do you mean? That was barely the icing on top. I promised I would put her in my position to show her how difficult it can get and how you don't get to do anything without breaking a sweat. Besides, it's not my fault she didn't do her research," Rose said nonchalantly, while picking at her nails."You really are going through with this aren't you?" Alice said in defeat, realizing that there was no changing Rose's mind, especially when she had her mind set on something."Yup," Rose said, popping the p. "Why do you care anyway? It's not like you to insist on anything. Do you have a soft spot for the girl or something?" Rose looked at Alice pointedly.But when she said that, Alice realized that herself. She was always okay with

'Vaughn's prodigal heir seen making out with a drunk woman.'Zack read the provocative title over and over again, a frown marring his face.He scrolled down and there were three pictures. The first two were of them making out, and the third one was snapped while he supported a barely conscious Rose's arm on his shoulder as he was taking her back to her room.Even though her face was barely obvious, meaning the person who took the pictures was targeting him in the first place, anyone who knew Rose would be able to recognize her and true enough, under that article where other articles bashing the CEO, with some expressing concern about what happened after the third picture, and because she was barely conscious, one word could from someone could lead to serious allegations against him.There were comments under the article and Zack chose not to read them.It was no wonder she was angry at him. To Howler, who had kept her reputation clean all the time when she became CEO, this must be a h

On the day of the meeting, Zack found himself feeling a bit anxious, which was very unlike him. What was it about this woman that threatens to keep him on his toes? Was it the sudden change of character? Who was this woman, even?After the meeting, Zack made sure to have an investigation into Rose, and the result that came up was rather interesting. "She grew up without both parents and was raised by her grandparents who died in a car accident. After that, there was a struggle for power as a certain person, Mr. Montreal tried to take over the company, and he did for almost five years. But miraculously, after a year when Rose started working for her company, she was involved in his human trafficking where she almost got sold, but he was caught and she was able to take back her company and since then, she, had been a rather exceptional CEO. She had never been in a romantic relationship so far and there didn't seem to be anything peculiar about her private life." Zack remembered the priv

Zack couldn't help but feel relieved as soon as the deal was signed.As much as he wanted to pretend that everything was alright at work, he knew more than anything that he wanted to show all these people that he still had it in him and that he was still worthy.While in the restaurant, as they discussed business, Zack looked at Rose, a confident smile on her face which showed off her sense of accomplishment as she talked about the recent business gigs.On the other hand, Zack couldn't help but feel less confident, about the fact that the deal was offered to him on a platter.What does she think of me? How do I prove it to her that I know my around? Zack wondered to himself all throughout."If you will excuse us then," Rose said, standing up and Zack watched with a sense of admiration as her personal assistant, the assistant manager and executive followed suite without being told to do so.How was this woman able to achieve a sense of respect and professionalism among her workers? Zac

'Where are you right now? I want to meet you. Can I call?'At that moment, Kimberly's phone started to ring, and she used that as an excuse to escape her family before the drilling on her lacking personal love life got any worse.Kimberly waited to answer the phone until she was out of the room and out of hearing distance."What do you want?" Kimberly said as soon as she answered the call."Come on Kim, no need to get all angry. I just wanted to talk," Declan said on the other side of the phone."What is it about?" Kimberly asked, still suspicious of him."I just wanted to catch up. And you left the party early and didn't get back to work. I guess the boss gave you the rest of the day off.""Hmmm," Kimberly let out, remembering the state at which she left the restaurant. Luckily, none of the others saw her in that state."Can we talk right now? We could go to BLT. They make the best grilled cheese sandwiches," Declan offered. "Where are you right now? I could come pick you up."Kimber
