One Night With The Billionaire

The deep masculine voice echoed in the entire complex. The atmosphere became condensed and chilly. No one could say anything and there was a quietness that no one had experienced before in the Hudson’s holding.

Without being told, everyone tiptoed back to their seats and offices and bent their heads on their desk and computer. Afraid that the CEO would fire them.

Lily Ambrose wanted to leave as well but CEO Jace Hudson declared “Not a step further” Lily Ambrose froze, why does it have to be the moment she raised her hand to smack Arianna that he appeared?

Only Arianna, Daisy and Lily remained standing. CEO Jace Hudson glared at the women one after the other with a cold stare, his hands in his pants pocket.

“What the hell is going on here, why is it causing a fuss in my company?” Jace Hudson inquired.

None of the women talk until Lily Ambrose said “Arianna Jason is a mistress to this woman’s husband. She came to plead with her to stay away from her husband, especially this afternoon when she went to have sex with him.

I tried advising Arianna to be a decent woman. No matter the number of men she’d been sleeping with, it won’t do her any good but find a man and get married to him instead.

But she became aggressive and violent towards me. She said I don’t have a head and that I only have an orifice that controls my talking and reasoning…”Lily was saying when Jace asked “Who assigned you to the job of an adviser in this company?”

Lily Ambrose temple went blank.

She doesn’t know how to answer CEO Jace Hudson. She bowed her head, unable to find an answer to his question.

“You are employed as the company’s designer and not as an adviser. Who assigned you to a job you are not employed for? You left your duty post and come here to advise Miss Jason how to be a proper woman?

I guess you will find another job elsewhere. You are from this moment fired. You will handover every work to your chief and disappear forever from the Hudson’s holding!” Jace Hudson declared.

Lily Ambrose’s eyes went red. Her dress was drenched and she was breathing hard. Just two days and the month ends. She has lost her job because she poked her nose in matters that do not concern her.

“Miss Jason, we do not care how you lived your life, your private life has got nothing to do with the Hudson’s holding. But you should play your card well.

I will not condone such irrational behaviour because of you henceforth. Sleep around, be a mistress, whatever, it doesn’t concern us provided you stay focused on your job and do it well” Jace Hudson cautioned Arianna.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Arianna bowed her head slightly. She wouldn’t even dare to look up at Jace but said “I will bear that in mind, sir”

Turning to Daisy, his eyes turned cold. It was as if those eyes possessed the ability to freeze someone it glared at. Daisy was uneasy. This man is a demigod, handsome, cute but scary.

“Madam, how dare you walk through the gate of the Hudson’s holding and cause an interruption in the activities going on here?

I don’t know where you and Miss Jason met or how she and your husband collided. What matters to me is my business, my company and how industrious and hardworking its employees are.

Discuss whatever grudge you have with Miss Jason somewhere else. Why come to the company, why affect the progress of the company with the desire of curbing your husband’s mistress?

I am a businessman and I know how to maximise profits. From the moment you started talking to Miss Jason to the moment I stepped in, is twenty minutes.

You will compensate me for the time you rendered my employees distracted and halt the company’s progress. Because I want to be lenient, you will pay one million dollars for a second.

Sixty seconds makes a minute. That is sixty million dollars for a minute. Multiplying that by twenty minutes will give 1, 200, 000 dollars.

And you have two days to pay up before the month ends. Otherwise, you will be jailed until you are able to pay up” Jace declared flippantly but his eyes were fixed on the woman Daisy.

Daisy glared up at CEO Jace. This man is so mean. How can he say she should pay such an amount, where on earth will she find the money?

She wanted to apologise when she heard Jace Hudson talking to his employees “Listen up everyone of you” he said and his voice like a thunder quickly got the response it requested.

Seeing everyone was looking in his direction, he continued “I hired and paid you to work for this conglomerate. Not to grow ears for gossip and poking your nose where it doesn’t belong.

Because of what you’ve done, you shall be receiving only half of your salaries and no incentives. But the next time any of you crosses your limits and causes a breach in your official responsibility, you will be paying what this woman here is going to pay” Jace Hudson declared.

Everyone’s temple went blank. Their faces became sour and their eyes reddened. Half salary and no incentives? They glanced at each other and some almost cried.

It was terrible for all of them besides Arianna. Daisy, Lily Ambrose and the other employees. Daisy was ashen, she couldn’t take another step.

She glared at Arianna and the latter just stared at her with a poker face. Then she glanced at Lily Ambrose and saw her eyes reddened. When she looked around, at the entire employees on that floor, her conscience was broken.

She had caused this when she decided to come and find Arianna in her work place. She doesn’t know where she lives and really wanted to warn her to back off her husband.

Her coming had caused more catastrophic than she had envisaged. Her heart was beating fast. All the employees were now glaring at her with pain in their heart and moist in their eyes.

“Get back to work” Jace ordered, his gaze fastened on Arianna.
