The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Ethan listens to everything she says! And she had once told Gabrielle to help in making Ethan notice her feelings for him but the deranged woman had refused.

“Coincidence? So be it then” Gabrielle shrugged.

“Dad I’m done speaking to Irish” Arin grinned as she walked down the stairs with Ethan’s phone in hand.

“What’s going on?” She frowned, seeing the gathering.

“Nothing, princess. We’re just having a discussion” Ethan said bending to his daughter’s height. “Ohh… is that why you left the room in a rush?” Arin asked.

“Yes” Ethan said.

“Aren’t you done with the conversation already?” Arin asked. “We are” Ethan said.

“Dismiss them” she whispered into her dad’s ear and he laughed.

“You all can leave” Ethan ordered and they all obeyed, excluding Gabrielle though.

“His face sucks!” Arin rolled her eyes.

“Who?” Ethan and Gabrielle asked at the same time. “J… avad” Arin said and Ethan sighed.

“Javad is a good guy Arin”Gabrielle said.

“Whatever, have your phone dad” She said and Ethan gently took his phone from her.

“Irish said her Mum made the sweater for me already” Arin said excitedly. “Really?” Ethan asked.

“So fast” Gabrielle said.

“Yeah yeah, i can’t wait to put it on” Arin grinned. “I miss her already” She added.

“She’ll be coming tomorrow morning” Gabrielle said, she so much missed Irish in the kitchen.

Though, she had been alone in the kitchen for years without feeling lonely but just few days Irish left, she was starting to miss her presence.

“What’s for lunch?” Ethan asked.

“Fried noodles, steamed dumplings, Millet gruel and red bean cake” Gabrielle said. “Ohh okay” Ethan said.

“Dad, please tell someone to bring some ice cream to my room, my favorite animation is starting soon” Arin said.

“Okay” Ethan said.

Next morning

“Good morning Mr.. Ethan” Irish smiled delightedly.

She was so happy to have resumed and she was more happy to see the face she missed most.

She was just walking into the living room and she had seen Ethan ready to leave for work .

“Mr?” Ethan raised a brow.

“Ohh.. good morning E.. than” Irish said and the workers around glanced up in surprise. “Good. How’re you Irish?”Ethan asked, trying not to show his excitement.

He’s so glad to see her again and damn! She looks more beautiful.

She’s putting on an aqua silk top and black tight fitting jeans, and her hair is packed in a ponytail with tendrils framing her smooth face.

No make up! Yet She looked stunning, that made his heart yearn for her more.

“How’s Arusha?” Ethan asked and Irish was surprised he remembered her brother’s name. “He’s fine” She said.

“Your mum too?” He asked.

“She’s fine too and they both sent their greetings” “Ohh.. okay” Ethan said.

“Arin is in her room” He added.

“Okay, i will go see her now” Irish smiled. “Bye” Ethan said.

“Bye and have a nice day” Irish said.

Ethan walked out of the door smiling with two bodyguards behind him. He know he’s gonna have a good day.

Irish exchanged greetings with Gabrielle in the kitchen and they chatted for some minutes before she finally left for Arin’s room.

She dropped her bag in her room and then walked in through the adjoining door.

“Arin, I’m here!” She called happily.

Arin, who just finished bathing ran into her arms in excitement.

????

Irish sat with Gabrielle in the kitchen, she had just returned from dropping Arin in school and was having her breakfast, chatting with Gabrielle at the same time.

“How’s your brother and mum?” Gabrielle asked.

“They are both fine, they sent their greetings to everyone” Irish said. “I guess Arin got her sweater already” Gabrielle said.

“Yes, i showed it to her already and she was so excited. She’s gonna put it on when she’s back from school ” Irish smiled.

“She talked about the sweater nonstop” Gabrielle said. “Really?” Irish laughed.

“Yes”

“And do you know what made her love it more?” Irish asked. “What?”Gabrielle asked.

“The color. It’s her favorite color” Irish said.

“Wow! She’d be completely in love with it” Gabrielle chuckled.

“Yeah, she wo..” Irish was saying but got interrupted by a maid who walked in.

“Hi” Irish said.

The maid nodded in response and Irish wondered what’s with the attitude. This isn’t the first time this particular maid would give her such attitude.

Well… who cares?

“What do you want?” Gabrielle asked Gladys.

“Am i not allowed to take a bottle of water?” Gladys asked in a mean tone.

“I never said that, i only asked what you want” Gabrielle said, in a more mean tone. Irish wondered why they both sounded mean to each other.

Gladys picked a bottle of water from the fridge and then walked out of the kitchen.

“What’s with her?” Irish asked.

“I just don’t trust her”Gabrielle said.

“Really?” Irish asked and that made her think of Javad.

She wondered why Gabrielle wasn’t seeing Javad the way she was. Maybe he isn’t that bad but her mind keep suspecting him.

She’s still deliberating on warning Ethan about his cruel brother, Morgan. He really needs to be more careful.

“I love it!!” Arin giggled happily after putting on the beautiful sweater. Mrs Helen had applied some pretty pearl buttons on it.

Irish smiled, the sweater fitted Arin perfectly and the pink color made her caramel skin stand out. She had made her wear white mini skirt and pink footwear to match.

A white hairband was holding her hair loosely and Irish really felt proud of herself to have made Arin this beautiful.

She felt like a mother.

The little girl stood in front of her large mirror, checking out herself. “I need to take some pictures. My iPod please” Arin grinned.

*

They ended up taking so many beautiful pictures together and they were in smiles as they walked downstairs for lunch.

Arin showed off her new sweater to everyone while Irish smiled..

To Irish’s delight, Ethan was early enough to join them for lunch.

He so much loved the sweater on Arin and he thanked Irish severally. Everyone admired the sweater and that made Arin showed it off proudly. She took more pictures with it.

Ethansat in the library after dinner, waiting for Irish

He was so nervous, he didn’t know how he’s gonna tell her to accompany him to a dinner party which he was invited to by one of his business partners.

It’s a day after tomorrow.

Normally, he would have taken no one with him but the dinner party is strictly for couples and he doesn’t even have a wife.

Should he take one of the maids? No. He wants Irish

What if she had not started working with him, won’t he have other choices?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Irish gently walked out of Arin’s room after putting her to sleep and headed to the library. She was in her nightwear, not the one Arusha chose for her though, a more decent one.

Arusha had insisted on being the one to pick nightwear for her even after she told him that the maids bought some for her.

She hoped to meet Ethan in the library.

She really missed how they read together in front of the fireplace.

She was descending the stairs when she noticed how slippery the ground felt beneath her footwear.

The next step she took sent her feet off the ground and her body into the air.

She couldn’t scream, and her mind shook at the dreaded thought that any part of her body can get broken.

She resigned to fate waiting for the pain she’s gonna feel once her body hits the hard ground.
