Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 28 (1003)

ALEXA’S POV

My eyes widen as I see Kathy standing before the old man who lie unconscious . She held a taser in hand and looked at me.

“Hmm, now I see why he attacked…” Kathy turns off her tazer before tucking it inside her bag.

After getting questioned by the police by the booth, the man was cuffed and out of the door immediately.

Kathy stayed and waited even after being questioned.

“Why did he bother attacking me?” I asked her. “I am a complete stranger to him.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Probably because you’re a woman,” Kathy smiles sheepishly at me, rubbing the nape of her neck as she looked everywhere but my face. “He seemed quite upset when we first spoke. And I noticed that he was checking you out after I rejected him. Maybe he saw something and thought he could take advantage of it.”

I spot Sherby waving at me as she was faced with her boss and was frantically talking to him.

“That makes sense,” I shrugged my shoulders before turning to her and seeing her leaving me behind.

“Kathy, wait! Thank you so much” I rushed towards her and grabbed her wrist. “If there is anything I could do to repay you-”

“I don’t need anything from you,” Kathy sneered taking me aback from her comment. She sighs loudly before opening hermouth to speak.

“You know I’m not that bad, I just have a tendency to snap at people,” She looks down before starting to walk off.

I sighed, knowing there was nothing I could do.

“How about I take you out on some early dinner? I feel hungry, what about you?” She stops on her tracks and turns to me with a confused look.

Kathy grinned as we went into the diner nearby to grab food and get some drinks.

We sat down on a table and dug in, Kathy looking like a lost puppy waiting on what to do.

I looked around at all the couples and groups eating happily together, enjoying their meal. As she finishes her food, I struck up a conversation.

“Why were you at the bar?”

She stops from sipping her drink below speaking, “I go there alone when me and Nolan got into a fight. Usually the bartender, Sherby, would keep me company but I saw you there and didn’t want to cause a scene,” Kathy flips her hair om to her shoulder and takes a french fry.

“Good thing the dude was already drunk, the tazer only added to him getting knocked out,” Kathy chuckles as she leans back and continues to eat her fries.

“Well, thanks for helping me out,” I told her.

“No problem,”

“So, you’re not gonna gossip this to Nolan, are you?” Kathy asks me as her face dims down, her seriousness clear.

“Sure,” I chuckle as I continue eating my burger.

After finishing our meals, we paid and made our way outside to her car which was parked a few feet away from the restaurant.

“So, how many of those burgers were you craving?”

I chuckle at her question as I opened the door and sit inside.

“Too many,” I replied closing the door and face her once I locked it.

She smiled, her smile brighter than any star that has ever existed. “Want me to drive you home?”

“You don’t mind?”

“Not at all.” I smile back at her before she pulls her seatbelt on, signaling that we were set to leave.

She started up her engine, driving towards the direction of the mansion.

“This isn’t my place by any chance,” I said with curiosity in my voice. “but, what did you and Nolan fight about?”

Kathy smirks, nodding her head before glancing at me in the rearview mirror, “Yeah, he made me as an excuse to go out with his friends when I thought we were going out on a date,”

“Damn, that asshole.”

“You’re right about thag,” She reassured me. “It’s like I’m not well appreciated enough by him, you know?”

I nod my head eagerly.

As we began driving through streets of the wealthy neighbourhood, I realized that the city was quite beautiful at night time, almost too beautiful that it was hard to believe that this wasn’t actually a town created by God himself for humans to enjoy.

“You shouldn’t worry about me around Nolan cause I can tell he is pretty loyal to you,” I said out of the blue, hoping it could ease her mind about me.

“I doubt that…”

When Kathy parks the car outside the gate leading into the driveway to the mansion, she looks over at me.

“Thanks again for driving me home, Kathy.” I say politely while staring deeply into her eyes.

“Anytime,” she reply with a smile.

Just then, the front door opens up, revealing Nolan. When he spots me, he frowns and walks over to me in silence.

“Kathy, what are you doing?” He asks her with concern laced in his tone.

I roll my eyes at his overprotectiveness.

“I spotted her in the city, it was about to rain,” Kathy tells him.

Nolan nods his head slowly and exhales in relief. I step out of the car and waved to her goodbye before she drives off.

“So how did it go with Kathy?” Nolan asks.

“Why do you care?” I ask sarcastically.

His eyebrows scrunch together and furrow his brows at me. His glare made me shrink a little bit under the intense gaze, but I stood firm in my position.

Finally, he sighs. “Whatever… You can do whatever the hell you want,”

I nodded my head.

“Come with me,” he says as he walks past me towards the house.

I ignored him and proceeded to walk to the kitchen, I hear his footsteps stop and tapping behind me.

“What do you think you’re doing?” He asks, annoyed.

“I’m on my day-off, you can’t order me around when I’m off.” His face turned to an annoyed look before I left him fuming in the staircase.
