The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“I’ll be leaving for Mexico tomorrow” Catherine said to Morgan and Irish focused her gaze on the

TV.

“You’ll be spending how many days ?” Morgan asked.

“Two or more” Catherine said.

Irish noticed Catherine looked upset, does that means meeting with Ethan hadn’t gone well? Of course it hadn’t, or she would have been excited and popping round the house by now.

“Are you going to Mexico for a business trip?” Irish decided to ask.

“To clear my head” Catherine said.

“Did anything happen?”

“Nothing you should know of” Catherine said.

“Ohh.. okay, I’m sorry if I’m intruding” Irish said.

“Yes you are!” Catherine yelled before getting up and walking to her room.

“I guess the meeting with Ethan hadn’t gone well?” She asked Morgan who nodded.

“He ended up telling her to dress more decently” Morgan said and Irish nearly laughed. Ethan can be savage at times.

“And she slammed her purse in his face before leaving his office”

“What! Why would she do that!” Irish almost yelled, looking pissed but she quickly got herself together.

“Do you still care about him?” Morgan asked.

“Care? Hell no, im just surprised Catherine could do that, i thought she really loved him” Irish said.

“She would have shot him if she had a gun with her” Morgan said.

“Uh.. he must have really provoked her” Irish said.

“Of course, she even gave me the go ahead to kill him, she doesn’t care anymore” Morgan smiled.

“Ohh, she doesn’t know yet that I’m involved right?” Irish asked in a whisper.

“She doesn’t and she mustn’t” Morgan said and Irish nodded.

“She’s leaving for Mexico tomorrow, will you please invite our accomplices over so we can all discuss the plan” Irish said.

“Of course I’m going to invite them over tomorrow”Morgan said.

“I can’t wait” Irish smiled.

“You seem so interested in all these” Morgan said.

“That should tell you how much i hate Ethan now, i want him gone, he disgusts me.. damn” She rolled her eyes and Morgan drew her close with a smile.

Irish got in bed, clad in her pajamas ready to sleep when her phone started ringing.

She picked it up and smiled.

“Black ass” She grinned happily into the phone.

___Next morning__

“I asked you to tell me what the hell you picked from the floor and gave to Irish, the last night you were here and you’re saying you can’t disclose that to me? Have you gone insane?” Catherine asked Maria who have her head bowed in front of her.

She was just returning and she couldn’t even believe Catherine was waiting for her in the living room already.

“Will you speak up!” Catherine yelled at her.

“I.. I’m sorry ma’am, i can’t disclose that” Maria said, she had promised Irish not to tell anyone and she’s not going to!

After all Irish is her boss now and she should obey her by keeping to the promise.

“I’m not to disclose anything that transpired between my boss and i. I’m so sorry madam Catherine”Maria said.

“This is crazy!” Catherine shouted, getting on her feet.

“Go pack your things and leave my house now” She said to Maria who quickly got on her knees, pleading.

“Tell me what you gave to her or leave my house” Catherine said, threateningly.

“I.. i ca.. can’t Madam Catherine, please” Maria said, her eyes already laced with tears.

“She gave me the necklace Morgan gifted me. It fell off my hands and she picked it up for me” Irish said, walking into the living room.

“Why then is she refusing to say that? What’s so hard in saying that?” Catherine asked, she was fully dressed, ready to leave for Mexico, her bag was packed already but she had waited for Maria, she really needed to confirm if it was truly the necklace.

“She’s only trying to respect me as her boss by not disclosing what happened between us. Get up Maria” Irish said and Maria rose to her feet.

“I’m glad you got to confirm it was really the necklace i gifted Irish” Morgan said.

“Whatever” Catherine said, staring suspiciously at Morgan.

She still has some explanations to do.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She glanced at her wrist watch.

“I’ll be leaving”

“Yeah, you shouldn’t miss your flight” Morgan said.

“Do you want me to come with you to the airport?” Morgan asked.

“You don’t have to” She said kissing Morgan on both cheeks.

“Bye” She said and Morgan followed her to the car while one of her escorts held her bag.

“How did she know about it?” Irish asked Maria.

“There’s a camera in the hallway” Maria said.

“Really?” Irish gasped, she never knew.

“Yes.. you didn’t know about it?”

“I didn’t” Irish said.

“You should be very careful ma’am, camera is installed in almost every part of this house” Maria said.

“Thanks Maria” Irish said, a bit shaken.

“How’s Lucas and Gemma?” She asked.

“They are doing great, Gemma said to greet you” Maria smiled.

“Ohh, you told her about me?” Irish asked with a smile and Maria nodded.

“I should go freshen up so I’ll get you your strawberry juice” Maria smiled.

“Quickly do so” Irish smiled and Maria walked away.

Irish was about to sit when a bodyguard approached her.

“Come to the garden now and don’t make it obvious you’re following me” He whispered and quickly walked away.

Irish blinked in confusion and wondered what was going on, she followed him anyway.

She met him waiting for her in the garden.

“Wh.. is anything wrong?” She asked.

“This is the only part of the house that there’s no camera, please I’d advise you not to drink any of the strawberry juice you’re served from now, they’re all poisoned. Catherine injected all thestrawberry juice in the kitchen with a slow but efficient poison, it’ll kill your cells slowly till you end up dieing, i shouldn’t tell you this but Mr Ethan has been very nice to me, he asked me to protect you and that’s what I’m doing. Please be very careful, you’re not safe here.” The bodyguard said and left quickly.
