The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 20: Modeling Shoot



Chapter 20: Modeling Shoot

I can't believe I've been running for an hour now, since I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I've been up

since 5 am, thinking about the clash with Deborah Melton at my office a few days ago.

I jogged up to my apartment to see Lillian standing there in all her glory. She smiles immediately she

saw me approaching“Hey beauty" she calls sweetly to me. I know what she's trying to do, anytime she

uses that tone at me she wants me to do something for her.

“To what do I owe your presence, her royal majesty Lilian,” I said as I bowed playfully in front of her.

“Well, well, let me see” She placed her hands and on chin thinking “ Oh yes!, I'm here concerning our

discussion yesterday,” She said happily jumping up and down.

“Yesterday?” I ask her shocked, as I search my brain for possible discussion but came back empty.

“Ah!” Lilian exclaims bitterly“ Don't tell me you've forgotten what we discussed yesterday night?” Her

smile fell as she pretended to cry. She can be whiny when she wants something badly.

“About what?” I ask her as I push her gently from my door to punch in my passcode. The door clicks

open and we both walk in.

I walk to my room, Lilian follows behind me trying to convince me that I need to consider what she was

saying.

“Please! Nina, you are beautiful and this is your only chance of being accepted by Michael's parents”

She pleaded desperately. I froze, she might be right, if I become richer than Deborah Melton, they

might consider me worthy enough for their son.

I walk out of my closet smiling“ Ok, I will do it”

“Really?” She asked not quite believing that I can change my mind in the span of two seconds.

“Yes,” I replied shrugging.

She smiles as she took out her phone to dial a number while I quickly send a text to Divine, telling her

that I won't be coming in today and that she should handle all my schedules at work then I walk Into the

bathroom to shower and dress for wherever we were going to today.

We arrived at Lush Beauty to meet numerous reporters gathered in front of the building. That could

only mean one thing, either Michael is here or something newsworthy is going to happen here today.

I walk out of the car closely followed by Lilian, thank God we brought her Lamborghini. I don't what I

would have done if I brought my a Honda CRV here, as I look around the parking loot seeing lots of

expensive exotic cars.

A lady walks out to where we stood, she was beautiful, tall, and light in complexion with short red hair

which falls below her shoulder in a bob cut.

“ Hi!, which of you is Nina Miller?” She asked looking from Lillian to me. Lilian pointed to me smiling. I

nodded at her.

“Please!, follow me,” She said and turn to walk back into the building as we follow her.

Immediately, we entered into Lush Beauty. It was like we've entered into another world of beauty

products ranging from fragrances to makeup and everything you could ever think of.

Lillian gasps beside me as I turn to look at her“ Wow! Nina, this is so beautiful!!” She exclaims excitedly

“I'm so jealous of you right now”.

I huff at her, as our beautiful model like escort has stopped in front of a door and knock which reads '

Managing Director' from the closed-door we could hear laughter.

A deep baritone voice called' come in ' which sent butterflies down my spine. I could never mistake that

voice anywhere in the world. Our model like escort opened the door and we all walked in.

Inside the expensively furnished office where three men I didn't expect to see together, well except for

two.

“Danny, what are you doing here!?" Lillian said as she charges forward to her husband to be.

I stood rooted at the door as I gasp at the most handsome man in the world. I never believed I will see

him so soon, especially after our night of passion. Though we talked on the phone it isn't like this.

He walks up to me and kisses me slowly, as I smell his scent of aftershave“ Hi!, beauty” He greeted

smiling as he looks at me appreciating.

“Hi!” I smile back, my voice sounding husky. He raises his eyebrow at me as he heard my voice. He

winks at me, telling me he knows exactly what I'm thinking about. I gazed into his ocean blue eyes

mesmerized oblivion to those around us.

“Hmm!” Andrea and Danny both cleared their throat as I went to stand beside Lilian embarrassed while

Michael chuckles and resumes his seat beside Danny. Andrea was at the head of the table leaving

Lilian and me to settle ourselves on the chairs opposite them.

“Well, Nina I'm sure you know why you are here,” Andrea said using his professional voice.

I sit up as I look at him, nervous“ Yes sir”

“Good!. Now before we'll move to the signing of the contract, there are certain rules, which your

manager will tell you all about later” He continues.

“But, I don't have a manager,” I ask him confused as l look at Lillian who shrugs.

“Yes for now you don't, but shortly after signing the contract, a manager will be assigned to you. She

will keep track of your schedules and all. Is that clear?”

“Yes sir”

“Ok. We can now move on to the signing of the contract ” He said looking at both Michael and Danny.

They both nodded and we stood up to go to the conference room.

That's why the reporters were here; for Michael and the signing of the contract. Lexa our model like

escort opened the door for us. She's Andrea's assistant.

Michael and Andrea sat to each side of me while I was in their middle. Only two reporters were

allowed into the conference room which is Sam from Melton Media and the reporter with the big

glasses from Neon Media.

Sam was surprised to see me while I pretended not to know him, we don't talk anyway. The signing of

the contract took seconds while the reporters recorded everything.

“It will be featured at 8 pm news today,” Michael said as he walks beside me. We were going back to

Andrea's office after finishing the contract.

“You did good today, ” He whispered to me as he breathes fan the nape of my neck causing me to

stiffen.

“Why didn't you tell me that you owned Lush Beauty?” I questioned him softly as I look at him. There's

absolutely nothing I know about Michael.

“ Baby!, I own almost everything in New York, and moreover, we've never talked about that. I'm sorry”

He apologized.

I couldn't look him in the face. I was busy trying to force back the smile that threatened to make their

way onto my face after having heard him call me 'baby'.

We were almost nearing Andrea's office when Michael suddenly pushes me into a dark room, probably

used as a warehouse.

“Why are we he…..?" He slams his lips on mine forcing back the words I was trying to say as I wrap my

hands around his neck. Oh!, how I've missed the taste of his lips against mine.

“I've been meaning to do that ever since I saw you walk into the room,” He said breathlessly as he

gazes into my eyes.

“Really!, but you did kiss me?” I said as I blush.

“Yes, but that was not like this, and I wanted to rip your dress off you, it took all of my willpower for me

not to do just that” He replied as he winks at me.

“You're such a charmer!” I said as I turn to walk out, Michael pulled me back and he hugs me from

behind, pressing his erection at my back.

“I know you won't believe me,” He said, his breath fanning my neck seductively“ Can you feel what you

do to me?”He asks, leaving faint kisses at the back of my neck. I blush as I opened the door and walk

out breathing heavily.

Lillian drag me to her as soon as I opened the door, she gave me a knowing wink when she saw

Michael walk in. Both Andrea and Danny pretended not to know what was going on.

“You are officially Lush Beauty model,” Andrea said as he shakes my hands, Danny did the same while

Michael came over to kiss me.

“Michael if you are through with making out with Nina in front of us, I need her for an official business,”

Andrea said jokingly as Lilian and Danny erupted into laughter. Michael released me reluctantly.

“Lexa, send in Darcy” Andrea called into the intercom, a few minutes later, Lexa walk in followed by a

woman in mid-thirties with a short hair.

“You sent for me sir,” Darcy said as she looks at Andrea to Danny, her eyes longer on Michael as she

blushes.

“Bitch!” I muster for Lilian's ear only, she laughs as she tries to calm me down.

“Yes,” Andrea said as he turns to look at me“ Miss Nina Miller,” He said back to his professionalism

again“This is Darcy Williams, your new manager”.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Miller,” Darcy said as she reluctantly took her eyes from gawking at Michael to

acknowledge me.

“Nice to meet you too, Miss Williams” I reply as I forced her a smile. I can't wait to start working with her

so I can show her that Michael is mine.

“You are so beautiful. It will be a pleasure working with you” She compliments me excitedly.

“I can't wait too,” I said harshly. Michael gasp at my tone. I avoided his eyes, I'm so annoyed with him

right now. How dare he leads her on.

“Ok. Darcy, you can go now, you and Miss Miller can catch up later” Andrea said as he dismissed her,

She reluctantly walks out her eyes still glued to Michael, who smile appreciatively at her.

“What was that about?” Lillian asks as she huff. I didn't say anything, just look at them with no

expression on my thin face. Michael frown as he saw that I was pissed off at him.

“Ok guys. I'll say why don't we hit the club tomorrow night to celebrate ” Danny said trying to clear the

tension in the room. That seems to do the trick as everywhere became lively again.

“Yes, that will be ok for me,” Andrea said as he looks at Michael.

“That's a yes for me too” Michael nodded his eyes on me, willing me to look at him but I stubbornly

refused. That is the punishment he gets for leading another woman on.

“ Yes for us,” Lilian said she answer for both of us. I admire her enthusiasm.

“Now, the question is which club are we using?” Andrea asked.

“My club of course, ” Lilian said looking at Michael and Danny. They both nodded while I groaned.

„You own a club?” Andrea asked looking shocked.

“You didn't know?” Lilian asked matching his tone as she dives into details about her club. She never

ceases to amaze me.

“That's nice, we'll use that” Andrea said after Lillian was through with the explanation of how her club is

one of the best in New York.

“But it seems Nina is not in support of it,” Danny said looking at me, they all turn to scrutinize me,

waiting for my explanation.

“Is not like I don't like it, but I don't have good memories of that place” I reply shyly as I look down.

“We can always make good memories there,” Michael said still looking at me.

“What?” Lillian scream, it seems her brain just register the words I said“ But that is where you met

Michael?” She continues trying to persuade me. I guess tomorrow clubbing depends on whether I'm in

or not since I'm the one they are celebrating anyway.

“She met Michael in a club? Andrea asked again shocked with his mouth widely opened.

“Of course, where have you been all this while? Guy, you are so out of this world” Lilian exclaim. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is not my fault, they have been keeping secrets from me” Andrea said defensively as he glare at

Michael and Danny.

Lilian lunges into another round of story on how Michael and I met as Andrea 'Ah! and Oh!'. Before we

knew it, it was late as well all retired home to rest for tomorrow.
