The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Wow!

She had thought it was just a normal switch.

“She wants you to clear the glass cup”Ethan said and the maid did so without hesitation. She walked out of the room almost immediately while Irish sat there, blinking.

“Whenever Arin presses the switch, you should tell the maid whatever she wants. I don’t allow her order people who are old enough to birth her around, so you speak for her instead” Ethan said to Irish who nodded numbly.

These people keep surprising her every minute.

She’s so impressed that Ethan is bringing up his daughter in a good way.

She had thought the girl can order anyone around as she wishes, she never knew she’s restricted from doing so.

It’ll really help her grow into a well mannered lady.

“He’s such a good father” Irish thought smiling admiringly at Ethan who was tickling his daughter.

They were both laughing and her heart melted at the scene. She took her time in looking round the room.

A knock on the door stopped every movement.

“Who’s there?” Ethan asked.

“Doctor Lucas is here Mr Ethan” Someone said through the door.

“Let him in” Ethan said and the door opened to reveal a chubby man, neatly dressed in a blue shirt tucked into white pants, black shiny shoes and nice haircut.

“Good day Mr Ethan” The Doctor greeted. Good day doctor Luc” Ethan replied.

“I thought you said she’s…”

“Well she’s fine now” Ethan interrupted him.

“Really?” The doctor asked moving to touch Arin who scampered away from his touch. “Don’t touch me!” She said, rolling her eyes.

“Ohh… I’ll go wash my hands right away…” The doctor said dropping his bag.

“You don’t have to do so, as you can see, she’s fine already so there’ll be no need to examine her. I wonder what took you so long! What if she was dying!” Ethan flared up.

“Mr Ethan, I’m so sorry about that, an emergency came up at the hospital and i really had to attend to it”

“An emergency came up? And you couldn’t send another doctor to attend to her, what if she’s still burning up till this moment, do you think her little brain can handle such pain. If anything had happened to her, I swear i would jail you for life! This isn’t the first time you’ll do such, when next it happens, I’ll withdraw you as my personal doctor” Ethan said with a very angry tone.

“I’m so sorry Mr Ethan, please forgive me. I promise it won’t repeat itself” The doctor pleaded.

“You can leave, my manager sent some money into your account already” Ethan said. “For doing nothing?” Irish wondered, almost aloud.

“I’m so sorry Mr Ethan” the doctor said, picking his bag.

“It’s fine, you can leave now” Ethan said with a more calm tone.

“I’m so sorry” The doctor said one last time before finally walking out of the door. Irish sighed.

Arin continued licking her now slim candy, looking unconcerned.

“I hope the headache has relieved you?” Ethan asked her and she nodded.

“I’m fine now, i only need more candy and maybe a slice of strawberry cake” She said. “Okay, I’ll call Gabrielle to get it ready for you” Ethan said and quickly placed a call to Gabrielle.

A maid came in minutes later, Irish noticed she wasn’t the one who came in earlier She wasn’t surprised as their were so many maids.

She gently placed the tray containing more candies and a slice of strawberry cake on Arin’s bedside table and then turned to walk out.

“You’ll be able to go to start school tomorrow right?” Ethan asked. “Of course” Arin replied picking another candy.

“Irish will help take you to school tomorrow,” Ethan said and Arin nodded.

“Ohh… it’s time for lunch already, no wonder my stomach has been rumbling”Ethan said glancing at his expensive looking wristwatch.

“Time flies, was it not just now she arrived” Irish thought.

“Let’s go have lunch, I’m starving already” Ethan said standing on his feet. “I’m having my lunch already” Arin said.

“Of course i know. I was referring to Irish Ethan said. “Ohh… me?” Irish asked quickly getting on her feet.

“Yeah, let’s go have lunch” Ethan said.

“Okay” She said trailing behind him to the door.

“Arin, will you be fine?” Ethan asked.

“Of course Dad, but help me switch on the TV please” Arin said, she’s chewing on her strawberry cake and candy at the same time.

“Okay” Ethan said and grabbed the remote control. He switched on the TV and scrolled through the channels for his daughter’s favorite. He found it and click on it before dropping the remote control.

“Thanks Dad” Arin called after him as he walked out of the door with Irish.

“How old is Arin?” Irish asked Ethan as they approached the dining room. Ethan opened the door and they stepped in.

The table was set already and Irish almost exclaimed at the classic settings. Just like how she sees it in movies.

She shouldn’t be surprised by anything in this house, she knows he’s a billionaire who can afford anything.

“Arin is six” Ethan answered.

“Wow! How come she’s so smart?” Irish asked.

“Well… she got the smartness from me” Ethan boasted, smiling. “That’s obvious” Irish nodded.

“So, this is my personal dining room, i eat here with my daughter and Gabrielle. The workers have their dining room” Ethan said.

“Ohh… okay, Sarah already informed me, I’ll go meet Gabrielle to show me the way to the workers dining room” Irish said.

“Chill…” Ethan paused and then continued. “You’ll be eating here with us” He finally said. “Huh?” Irish asked, furrowing her brow. “Why?” She wondered aloud.

Shouldn’t she be happy she’ll be eating on the same table with him? So many people would jump at it.

“I’ll be fine at the workers dining room, that’s where i belong” Irish said.

“Of course that’s where you belong cause you’re a worker here” Ethan agreed. “Yeah” Irish said.

“But Arin wants you here” Ethan lied. He does, not Arin.

He just doesn’t know why he want to keep seeing her every time. When did he turn into a liar?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

And when did he ever propose this idea to any of his workers? Even those that has been with him for years have never got the chance to eat on the same table with him.

And he even had to lie that Arin want her here just for her to accept.

Sincerely he had liked her from the very first sight, She looks so decent, just as he wanted. But he doesn’t know how long she’ll stay before showing her real self.

But with what he had seen so far, it seems that who she really is. “Really? Why does Arin want me here?” Irish asked.

“She needs to be close to her nanny always.”

“But the past nannies definitely do not eat on the same table with you guys, why does Arin suddenly want me to?” Irish asked.

“Well.. she told me, starting from you, she’s gonna make a change” Ethan said, his conscience hitting him hard.

Lies brings more lies.

“Ohh… okay” Irish said, feeling so special she’ll be dining with Ethan Harlow, the most handsome billionaire in the whole of California who some people are dying to see.

She had felt special right from when he told her she’ll be dining with them and she had almost jumped at the offer but again she had a rethink.

“Let’s go eat, enough of the dilly dally” Ethan said and they both moved towards the dining table.

They had almost finished eating and Ethan kept hoping Arin won’t pop up anytime soon.

She’s going to be surprised to see Irish dining in their personal dining room and she’ll ask what she’s doing here.

And then Irish would know he lied.

She’ll start seeing him as a liar right from that moment. Oh.. no.

He stared at Irish who was obviously enjoying the meal, even if he wants to stand up anytime soon, he knew she’s not ready at all.

Geez!

She just shifted another bowl of fruits closer to herself.

Gabrielle is done eating, she picked a glass cup of her favorite fruit juice and started gulping it down her throat.

She had communicated with Ethan with her eyes when she saw Irish in the dining room and he had nodded, meaning he’ll explain things to her later.

Ethan shifted in his seat when he heard tiny footsteps on the step.

He hoped it wasn’t Arin but again who among his workers has such tiny steps.

“Why can’t you just stay put in your room, this little girl” He thought, feeling uneasy that his cat is about to be let out of the bag.

“Dad” He heard Arin called before the dining room door opened. Hell no!

“Cease Her!” He suddenly shouted, scaring everyone out of their chair.
