Falling For The Billionaire Heir

The sound of water splashing against rocks woke Becky up by six thirty the following morning. She groaned and reached over to stop the alarm. Becky turned around and realized she was alone in bed. She smiled and sniffed the pillow Colin used. It still had his cologne smell. She noticed a note on her nightstand and picked it up to read.

The note said he left at five. He also asked her not to go to work in her car. He also wrote that a driver will be at her house at eight am to take her to work whenever she is ready to go to work. Also, he would come pick her at lunchtime. Becky yawned and sniffed the pillowcase again.

Everything about last night rushed back to her. She giggled and rolled out of the bed. She went to use the bathroom before going downstairs to prepare breakfast for herself and her sister.

When she walked into her office later, the alluring scent of the bouquet of roses sitting on her desk engulfed her.

“When was this delivered?” She asked her assistant, Caroline. Becky picked up the bunch of roses and sniffed them, with a grin etched on her lips.

“Like twenty minutes ago,” Caroline replied with a smile. “You are very lucky. Your man is so romantic.”

That was not the first time he would send flowers to her in the office. Becky nodded and turned around to sit behind her desk. “Let me get you something to put those in.” Caroline pointed at the bouquet and dashed out of the office.

Becky reached out for the card that was attached to the flowers. It was handwritten as usual.

A single rose is all I need for my garden

A single person is all I need in my world

You are my garden sweetheart

You are the one person who means the entire world to me. I love you with all my heart.

An automatic smile crept across Becky’s face when she finished reading the message. A shiver ran down her spine. She reached out for her bag to bring out her phone. She sent a thank-you message to Colin, telling him how much she liked his gesture.

Caroline returned a moment later holding a flower vase with some water in it. She put the roses in the flower vase and smiled at her effort after she finished with it.

“This is so lovely!” She winked at Becky and blew out an audible breath. “I wish Doug was half as rich as your man.” She placed a hand on her chest. “I need some TLC in my life.”

“Love and the way we express it have nothing to do with how rich someone is.” Becky tried to enlighten the younger lady. “It’s about the state of the mind.”

“I knew you were going to say that,” she dismissed Becky’s point. “You are so unassuming. No one can imagine you are in a relationship with the son of Ben Blake.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Okay.” Becky shook her head in amazement. “So, am I supposed to write it on my forehead?”

“Why not?” Caroline fanned herself with her hand. “If I were to be in your shoes, I would do exactly that and more.”

They both burst into laughter. Caroline was such a delightfully sweet girl. Becky fell in love with her the moment she walked into her office during the interview for an assistant and she was so glad the girl met all the requirements, too.

“Don’t worry,” she placed a hand on her shoulder. “When Doug finishes with school, he will get an outstanding job and start spoiling you silly. I know that.”

“Yeah,” Caroline said. “Soon, Doug will start spoiling me silly,” she said confidently.

Becky picked her phone again and called Evelyn to give her some information before she settled down to start the day’s work. She wanted to do as much as she could before the lunch hour when Colin would come to pick her up.

She was halfway into the proposal she was preparing when Colin called at 11:05 am, saying he could not make lunch again. “I hope everything is okay?” She asked, knowing it was unlike him to just change his plans with her.

“Nothing,” he replied from the other end. “An investor is coming in this afternoon for a meeting, which is a kind of impromptu and I have to prepare for a presentation.” He explained.

“So I will not see you until after work?” She asked. She was already missing him and had been thinking of seeing him soon during lunch hour.

He smiled, “I’m afraid so. But not to worry, we’ll go to the movies and have dinner afterwards. Is that okay?”

“It’s okay?” She said, “but I’m missing you so much, baby. I was counting on seeing you this afternoon.” She sighed and relaxed back into her seat.”

“I’m missing you too,” he rumbled into the phone. “Let’s just concentrate on our work for now. Time will soon fly by.”

“I guess I have no other choice,” she giggled.

“That’s Daddy’s good girl,” he said in a husky voice. “Don’t bother going out for lunch. I will call someone to bring it down to you right away.”

“Oh sweet Daddy,” she purred. “You will?”

“Of course, my baby girl,” he teased her. “Daddy will do anything to make you happy at all times.”

“Yes, Daddy. I know.” She sighed contentedly.

They teased each other more for a few moments before they finally ended the call.

It wasn’t up to thirty minutes later that Becky heard a knock at her door. She looked away from the computer and asked whoever was there to come in.

“This came in just now,” Caroline walked in with a rectangular wicker box in hand and set it on Becky’s desk.

Becky looked at the box and said, “Colin sent it,” with a smug smile.

“Of course,” Caroline winked at her. “Who else would have sent it? Enjoy your lunch.” She said and left, still smiling.

Opening the lid, the aroma of Chinese fried rice and fried chicken wafted into her nostrils. Her heart thudded wildly in her chest. “Oh, Colin, my love,” she moaned. His devotion and thoughtfulness always awed her.
