He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 44

A week later Hailey's

POV

I was getting ready after so many days, I will get to go to the office. I have missed our office real strong, and I would love to spend some time working.

Even though I wanted to become a legal doctor, I can't pursue my dream anymore. I had asked him about that once, and he turned me down well. Even though he has changed since then, but I think he remembers that business is not what I always wanted to do and that I have some other dreams which I wanna achieve.

Anyway, I was happy to get out of this house and finally get back to work. I made a simple ponytail and wore simple formal clothes. I made my way downstairs and saw him leaning against the couch. "Hey" I called him and he looked up and smiled. "Breakfast?" I asked.

"Well, from tomorrow" he answered me and I sat beside him. "You can make it from tomorrow. Now the time is much better, isn't it? Otherwise, you had to make it in the pretty morning" "Haha, I remember..." I trailed off remembering everything that happened when I made food for him.

"Hey..." He said and kept a hand on my shoulder. "I know... That..." he said.

"It's okay. It is in the past" I consoled him, which looked more like self-consolation.

"Good. Now let's eat" he said and the cook served our food, which we ate happily. It was again as delicious as always.

"Come down, I'll wait" he stood up and I was still eating. "In the car"

"Okay, Robert" I replied, and flashing a smile, he left the room.

I ate the remaining breakfast, and celebrating over the newly found happiness, I went downstairs and sat on the passenger's seat beside him.

The trip to his office was good and comfortable, even if we didn't speak anything.

Every time, the uncomfortable silence made everything worse. Guess it's better to open up and just relax.

"We're here" I heard him and I looked up to the familiar building.

I got out of the car with him and followed him inside, making sure to say hi to anyone I come across.

I was in his office right now, because he was 'personally' explaining to me whatever has happened in all these days when I was absent.

"So, make sure this deal-"

"Robert" I interrupted him. "Really anyone can explain all this. You are wasting your time" I said and he sighed.

"I wanna spend time with you and by this, I am also doing work"

"No, you're not. You would have managed so much till now" I said and got up from the seat where I was sitting across him.

"Hailey... I don't wanna trouble you anymore" he said and got up too. "Only Xander knows everything other than me and he is not very friendly"

"I don't want very friendly people to explain everything to me, Robert. I just need a little bit of information and I can gain other details by the time"

"Okay, Hailey. Then go and do your work. And yes, I have a task for you. From now, you need to convince some clients that backed off because of the loss we recently faced" "Okay"

"I will provide you with the email addresses myself-"

"Robert, again? Their email addresses and contact information are present on the contract. I will take it myself. Don't worry" I said and he sighed and sat down back on his seat. "Okay Hailey, none can win over you"

"Really?" I raised my eyebrow and leaned over the chair from the back.

"Don't lean over the chair, dumbo" he said, and getting self-conscious, I suddenly backed off.

"Um..." I said embarrassed.

"It's okay. Now you should leave" he said. "Or you wanna stay?" he winked at me.

"Huh, Robert!" I exclaimed and left the room.

Much has changed. The last time I worked here; everything was so very different. And now, it's like I am in a whole new world.

I sat down on my seat in my cabin and looking at the files, I started my work.

It was meeting time and I went to Robert's office to remind him. He nodded and came out.

"I want you to handle everything at this meeting. I won't speak a word" he said while we made our way towards the meeting room.

"B-But Robert, how!? I didn't prepare it so well!" I exclaimed.

"Neither did I. I didn't even touch his file" he said and we reached the room.

"But-"

"All the best," he said and opened the door.

We entered inside and I could see sweat beads forming on my forehead. I don't wanna ruin this.

I looked at the client. He is Ray Haffner. One of the clients that I have persuaded this morning only.

We sat down and I explained our entire plan. I was a little scared, but when everyone understood every word I said, I guess, I was confident.

I completed the presentation like a pro and I could hear the claps.

Robert clapped for me first and then Mr. Haffner joined.

"Well, the plan looks substantial and congratulations, I am ready to invest and sign the contract," he said and Robert looked at me and smiled. We gave him the papers and he signed.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Robert said to him.

"Likewise," he said and left the room.

I sighed as he left the room and looked at Robert. He suddenly pulled me close and started kissing me like crazy.

"R-Robert, we are in office," I said, pulling a little away.

He kept me on the desk and getting a little away, he smirked. "MY office," he said and kissed me more.

I don't know why he likes kissing me so much.

I always melt whenever he kisses me. So, I know... It is love.

But he?

Does he like me?

Does he love me?

It is too early to decide anything.

If it is, then it may be attraction or infatuation.

But then again, I am not someone with a very good figure. He can't be attracted to me in that way.

And I am not that beautiful, either.

I am a normal woman.

He pulled me apart and kissed my forehead. "I think I am falling for you" he whispered.
