Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

“Why are you late? The boss was asking of you. There is a meeting going on in the conferqence room, and what’s with the rough hair?” Kathy asked the second Valerie arrived.

“Ugh! Don’t get me started” she picked her laptop and turned to leave.

“Wait, you are going to meet the company’s executive looking like that?”

“Then can you help me smoothen it out a little?”

“Sure. Get over here”

Everyone’s attention was inevitably shifted to her when she got in. She bowed a little and moved towards Jared at the head of the table.

“Sorry I’m late”

Maybe she should have accepted the woman’s offer for a ride. She looked up only to lock eyes with someone. The same woman. She flashed Valerie a smile. What was she doing here?

“I never thought I would meet you here?” Mrs Anderson said after the meeting.

“Neither did I”

“Do you know each other?”

“We just happened to meet some hours ago. I have to leave now. See you later, Jared” he nodded and watched as she walked away, an indescribable look on his face.

“Do you know who that woman is? Does she work here?” She asked Kathy.

“She is one of the shareholders, not the largest, but she has quite the shares, and she is also the boss’s future mother-in-law”

“You mean she…”

“Correct. She is his fiancée’s mother”

Jane’s mother was so calm, collected elegant, and she looked kind, in complete contrast to Jane’s vile nature.

She received a call from Jared asking her to see her in his office.

She knocked twice and entered. There was no one at the table and was about to call out to him when she felt herself wrapped in a warm embrace.

“Boss? What are you doing?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” He turned her around and they locked lips. She pushed him away, ignoring her own desires.

“We should not be doing this…… here”

“Why?”

“This is an office, not a bedroom”

“Every single office here belongs to me. I can do whatever I want in it”

“Still, I…”

He pulled her close. “Come here silly. Why are you holding back? I can feel your body screaming for me”

He rubbed himself against her. Her breathing became ragged and she found herself moaning. He carried her and settled her on his table.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry. It will be quick”

Whatever she wanted to say was drowned by his kiss. Her eyes rolled upwards when she felt it enter her.

“Ahhh! Oh, my God, Jared”

“Good girl. This is your punishment for coming late to work. Do you like it?”

She nodded.

“I want your answer” she was so lost in pleasure that she could barely hear him. He pulled out and rubbed the tip of his cock against her entrance. She almost screamed.

“I love it!” She said panting. “I love -ah! I’m….. I’m coming, Jared”

“Let’s do it together”

She climaxed the same time he offloaded his seed in her.

He tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “Are you alright?”

She nodded. But was she? She looked tired, especially after that rigorous exercise.

“I need to leave before people start to get suspicious” she was caged between him and the table. He did not move an inch.

“I don’t want you to”

“Come on” she sidestepped him and left after pacifying him with a peck.

“What is that pill for?” Kathy asked after Valerie swallowed it.

“Oh, these are… uhm, migraine pills. I’ve been having nasty migraines for a while now” She felt bad lying to the only friend she had in the company.

****************

The sun was setting and Valerie was about to get a taxi when she was stopped by Mrs Anderson.

“Let’s go over there” she pointed at the café.

Valerie wrapped her hands around the cup to warm herself up.

Mrs Anderson stretched out a card to her. “I will be hosting a ball this weekend”

“And you are inviting me?”

“Yes”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thanks, but I have to decline”

“Why?”

“I…..” she tried to find an excuse. “I don’t have a gown”

“Okay” Valerie was surprised that she agreed so easily. She had thought she was going to persuade her.

“Let’s go. You won’t decline my offer for a ride this time, will you?”

“Ma’am, I…”

She grabbed Valerie’s hand and dragged her out. She gave her address to the chauffeur.

“This is the way to my house” she said when she noticed they were on the right route.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kidnap you”

They ended up at a boutique. She was already in when she realized what they came for.

“Get this lady the best ball gown you have”

“No. I can’t accept this”

“Of course you will dear”

“Miss, please come with me” The attendant said.

After an hour of trying different gowns which came with matching jewelries and heels, she was completely exhausted.

“Now, there is no reason for you to not attend”

“I guess so” she said begrudgingly. Attending the ball meant she had to come face-to-face with Jane. “Thank you. You didn’t have to”

“But I did. Now let’s get you home”

“Thank you for giving me a ride” she said, standing by the window.

She nodded. “Make sure to be there”

“I will”

She waved at her and motioned her inside before instructing the chauffeur to drive.

“Who was that? That car looked expensive? Was that your boss? And what are these bags for? They look heavy” Layla asked when she entered. She had seen them through the window.

“That was a stranger I met a few days ago. She invited me to a ball and bought all these for me”

“A stranger bought all this for you? Out of the blue?”

“Well, I happened to help her once” she decided not to tell Layla about her being Jane’s mother. She already despised Jane as it is, she was probably not going to think well of her.

“Will you attend?”

“I have no choice. I’m going to bed”

Saturday came earlier than she wanted.

“Are you set?”

“I guess so”

“You sound reluctant. You don’t have to force yourself if you don’t want to. And if you must go, I can come with you”

“No. There’s no need for that”

“You barely know anyone there”

“If my guess is right, my boss should be present”

“I think there is no need for me to be there. I’ll be downstairs”

Valerie stared at herself in the mirror, a gloomy look on her face. Just the thought of meeting Jane made her nauseous.

“Wow! You look like Cinderella” Layla exclaimed. “Absolutely Gorgeous”

“Thank you” There was a knock. “Were you expecting something?”

“No. I was about to ask the same. Were you?”

“I wasn’t”

“I’ll check”

She opened the door and saw an unfamiliar man.

“Who are you?” Layla inquired.

“I’m Mrs Anderson’s chauffeur. I was sent here to pick up Miss Gardner”

“Val, look like he’s here for you”

“Me?” She walked towards the door.

“Hi, Miss Gardner”

“Aren’t you that chauffeur?”

“Yes. Madam asked me to pick you up”

“I see. Layla, see you later”

“Have a fun night”

Her hand became clammy and cold as the car kept moving. The chilly weather did nothing to help.

“Excuse me, are we not there yet?”

“Almost, Miss”

Only a minute later, she saw lights ahead. They had arrived. He got out and opened the door. She mouthed a thank you and entered the bustling ballroom after showing the invitation card as evidence she was really invited.

She accepted a glass of wine from a waiter and downed it, maybe it will calm her nerves, but it didn’t. She was a nervous wreck.

She looked around and saw Jared in the midst of some other men. He must have felt someone’s eyes on him, for he turned in her direction. Her gaze lingered on him for a while before she looked away.

Soon, she felt a presence behind her. She turned around and almost hit her head against his chest.

“Why are you here?”

“How could you sneak up behind me like that?”

“Why are you here?” He repeated. “As far as I know, no one can get in here without an invitation?”

“Are you saying being here does not suit me? That someone of my caliber being here is an insult to you”

“No, that is not what I meant-”

“Then what do you mean?

Their conversation was cut short when they heard Jane’s voice behind them.

“Jared?” Jared’s back was turned to her and his body was covering hers, so she didn’t see her, but when he turned, she could barely hide her astonishment.

What are you doing here?” She turned to Jared. “Did you invite her?”

“Oh, darling, there you are”

Mrs Anderson appeared out of nowhere and hugged her tightly, giving her a kiss on both cheeks. “I’m glad you made it”

“Mum, did you invite her?”

“Yes, do you know her?”

“Of course, she…..”

At this moment, Valerie was shaking all over. What if Jane told her mother and caused a scene here?
