Taming A Billionaire

The third point of view:

Anabelle almost suffered a heart attack and that was all because of her boyfriend who had snuck into the lady's room like a pervert. God, she had not even noticed him come in - well, he can't be a mafia boss without capabilities. But then, what was he doing in the lady's restroom? What if someone came in and misunderstood him?

"Julie?!" She called his name breathless. Her heart was still pounding loud in her chest as that was quite a scare.

"Anabelle," He said, walking towards her.

"What are you doing here...?" She was still asking when his hand went to her head, pulled it back, and kissed her on the mouth.

Anabelle was stunned.. She means this was a good welcome but he can't come out of nowhere and kiss her in the lady's restroom where anyone could stumble in any moment. 

Moreover, she was mad at him and had decided to never talk to him again unless he apologized and made it up to him. Hence, he can't manipulate her into forgiving him. He would suffer for this one.

So Anabelle tried to push him away knowing she was too quiet and would be lenient on him if her defenses crumbled. 

 It seems Julie premeditated that and only pressed her into her the more to the point she could feel every outline of his body; his broad and firm chest; his lean waist; his strong arms and of course, his awake little brother down there.

"No!" It was more than a word spoken, it was a decision she made. Anabelle pushed him with all her mind and glared at him fiercely.

"You don't have the right to do that! Not after today!" She yelled at Julie, pushed him hard on the chest as Julie stumbled back and took that distraction to leave knowing how stubborn Julie could be.

She left, yes, but Julie went after her, yelling her name above the loud music as she made her way back into the club. Anabelle wanted to leave, but her phone was on the table and she needed to get that.

Alec's eyes were the first on her the instant she arrived, and he smiled at her.

"You're back," He said to her but Anabelle simply bent to pick up her phone that was still where she had dropped it.

She said hastily, "I'm sorry but I have to leave -"

"Anabelle!" Julie finally found her at the table and she groaned inwardly. Wonderful.

Everyone's attention focused on the intruder and one of the girl's eyes widened.

"Uh?" She pointed at Julie in confusion, "Isn't he the one we saw in Anabelle's phone?"

Another saw the similarities immediately and she shouted, "Anabelle's boyfriend?!"

For a moment, no one said a word until one of them screamed in excitement, "Oh my God! He looks so much hotter than in his photos!"

"Photos?" Julie muttered, staring at Anabelle questioningly and that was when he realized she had been showing him off to his colleagues. It warmed his heart yet made him guiltier, what did he do for her?

Anabelle took her face away from Julie, she didn't care for his question. He can be furious that she revealed his existence to her colleagues as long as she cared. In fact, if she knew he would show his irritating face here, she wouldn't have talked about him at all.

"Come on, sit, sit," One of the male staff made a seat available and Julie sat down conveniently as it was beside Anabelle.

Anabelle knew her plan of leaving was aborted the instant her fellow workers set their eyes on Julie. This was the reason she had been planning to leave before he got to her. But then, here they are. Nor did it help matters that she was still pissed at Julie and didn't want anyone to know they were fighting. Her issues were to be solved privately. 

"Are you okay?" Alec was the one who asked, having noticed the frown on Anabelle's face. The others were busy admiring Julie and didn't get to see her discomfort.

"I'm good, just a bit of a headache," Anabelle lied. Julie was her headache right now. 

Although his attention was taken by the workers who kept asking him one question or the other, Julie was multi-tasked and had not failed to notice the conversation between both of them. As a matter of fact, it wasn't hard to notice a male interested in his woman. His fist curled under the table.

"Do I need to get you some drugs or -"

"There would be no need for that, I'll fulfill her needs as her boyfriend," Julie interrupted Anabelle before she could speak.

Anabelle turned and glared at him. Why was he acting all concerned for her now, wasn't his job more important than her?

"Oh, sorry about that," Alex realized his place at once. However, he stretched out his hand saying, "My name is Alec, and the owner of the brand your girlfriend worked for. As you see, Anabelle is a talented person and she needs all the support from you," 

"Yes, I know that and I'm doing the best I can to support her, so you don't need to tell me that," Julie answered, holding his gaze. 

Alec asked him, "You don't seem to like me?" 

Julie grimaced, "Well, you can't blame me. I just don't like people having a crush on my girlfriend," He said, pointing out the fact that he had been around when he said that. 

Anabelle's head raised at that comment. What the hell was he doing trying to cause trouble here? 

"Excuse me?" Alec said, "You're too concerned. How can a simple crush defeat a relationship of twelve years? I'm not that confident and you shouldn't be as well unless you have a reason to be insecure about your relationship," He tactically hinted that they might be having a crack in their relationship. 

Julie's eyes narrowed and darkened and that was all the cue Anabelle needed to end the conversation. Before a certain someone ended up a corpse.
