LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Wasn’t expecting to see you here, you know…it’s a classic and rich party meant for rich people, you know” Xena gave a snort of disgust.

“Guess my standards are increasing, that’s why I am here,” Smiles said smiling. Her smiles were a thorn in Xena’s heart, she could hardly stand it.

“Don’t be too boastful, I’m sure you’re as bored as hell ’cause no one can recognize a low life like you” Xena sneers. Mark pinches her arms, not liking her words and actions. Even if she wants to do anything, at least not here, they are in public. She turns to Mark, angrily but seeing his gaze, she doesn’t need any words.

“Guess you are right, too bad for me” Smiles fake a sad face.

“But what if I get to have my best moment here? Just a what if ” Smiles said thoughtfully and just then, Derrick came from behind, wrapping his arms around her neck. Turning around, a bright smile blooms on Smiles’s face, happy to see him.

“Thought you won’t show up” Smiles pout, complaining.

“Not for any reason, not when I’ve found you” he hugs her tightly, not wanting to let go. Smiles was somehow confused by his sudden change but nothing was more important than seeing him. She hugs him back, rubbing on his back.

“You know I’m not a kid right!” He informs, pulling away and Smiles can’t help but laugh. She quite remembers she was the one always saying that and it sounds funny hearing it from him.

“Yeah…but you look like one just now” She taps on his arms, chuckling. Xenawas basically dying of jealousy watching her with Derrick.

Mark has never done that to her and it hurts knowing he will never do it.

“You’ve eaten?” Derrick asked concern. This house is his, and being Keane’s friend gave him lots of advantages. Smiles and nods before saying

“Grandma Shiley served me…she didn’t let me go until I finished the food on my plate and she’s been telling me nice stories about you three,” She said and he nodded in satisfaction.

Hearing her, Xena was boiling inside. Just how did she get to meet Keane’s grandma and even have the time to chat with her? Xena didn’t know how to feel, she was conflicted right now.

“I’m glad you had a great time,” Derrick said, turning his gaze to the couple before them.

“Pardon me intruding but I must take her away,” He said and Mark nodded, there was basically nothing he could say to her anyway, not when Xena was around holding him like a parasite not willing to leave its host.

Walking away, Smiles and Derrick are met with Grandma Shiley, who rubs on Smiles’s cheeks sweetly.

Xena’s gaze never left them, and she saw it which only made her mood to be even more sour.

It was getting late, and with the type of person Grandma Shiley was, she didn’t want them to stay out any further.

Lisa, Xena, and Mark were long gone, and the majority of the invitees.

Outside, Grandma Shiley keeps on hugging Smiles nonstop.

“Pretty one…grandma here is going to miss you,” she said sadly.

“I am not going anywhere Grandma,” said smiling, not knowing how else to stop Grandma from being so clingy. Is this how clingy Grandma Shiley is around Grandpa Jimmy? She thought, smiling.

“This grandson of mine won’t let you go, I know who he is,” Grandma Shiley said, directing her question to Keane who stood there patiently waiting for the time she would let go.

She was the one nagging them to get going and now, she is behaving like a clingy five years old.

“Maybe he will, if you talk to him nicely” Smiles whisper in her ears, as if not wanting him to hear.

“He won’t…he’s just too cold to even consider his dying grandmother” She complains, almost tearing up.

Smiles stares at Keane with pleading eyes, begging him to say something.

“What else should this dying grandma do?” She continues crying.

Smiles struggles to make her stop but to no avail.

“Grandpa, you’ve got a baby to pet” Keane informed his grandpa who just walked out of the building. Like the love bird that Grandpa Jimmy was, he quickly rushed to her side.

“What happened? Who made you cry my love, just say it and I will make sure to punish whoever is responsible ” He asked worriedly, urging her to say something while comforting her.

“Is it not that grandson of yours?” Grandma Shiley says in between her sobs. She wasn’t actually crying, it was all fake.

Grandpa Jimmy turns to Keane who shrugs his shoulders, seemingly innocent.

“He vehemently refused to bring my pretty granddaughter-in-law over, to see us next time” Grandma complains, adding more spices to it.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Smiles were dying in laughter, watching the old lovebird being all lovey and childish.

“You stinky brats, you dare to refuse your grandma’s request? Even when she puts on her cute face?” He asked, glaring hard at Keane.

“Did you put on your cute face? The one you always put when you want to ask me a favor?” Grandpa Jimmy asked in a whisper, and Grandma Shiley shook her head in denial.

“No doubt,” he said as if understanding the reason why.

“Now, go on and accept your grandma’s request before I turn Jacky Chian on you” He warns.

Smiles couldn’t keep her cool and burst out in laughter, holding her stomach.

Keane didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh, as he stared at them with a raised brow. Deep down, he was happy but just couldn’t show it.

“Fine…I will bring her here again…that’s if you two stop nagging me around” he said. Grandma Shiley was the first to nod, but she didn’t mind. Having Smiles around was way more fun than nagging her boring grandson who never responds to anything she says.

“Now you are talking…thank your stars,” Grandpa Jimmy said and hugged Smiles then Grandma Shiley, bidding their goodbyes.
