The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“It isn’t what you think” Irish said.

“Whatever! I don’t care” Harold said, slammed the book closed, picked his wine and walked out of the library.

“Mr Ethan” Irish called, going after him.

“What?” Ethan half yelled. He doesn’t know why he’s so pissed that she went to a bar!

It’s her life, he shouldn’t be concerned with how she lives it but why did it hurt so much. He just doesn’t want her to be a bad influence on Arin.

He wasn’t angry because she didn’t take his permission before leaving, or because she slept outside the house, reasons because she told the guards it was urgent. So probably she was in a hurry and couldn’t take permission.

He just didn’t know why he was angry at her.

“I know i was a…” Irish paused on the verge of tears.

“But, i only went there to meet a friend and it was urgent that I couldn’t take your permission” She added with a shaky voice and Ethan felt bad he had yelled and spoken harshly to her.

He found himself almost apologising. No, he can’t do that.

“But you went to a bar yesterday night. To meet the friend, and even slept over ?” Ethan stated. “I think we should just sit and discuss this, please” Irish said..

“Let’s go back to the library then” Ethan said and irish was surprised at how cool his voice had

turned.

They both walked back into the library and Ethan sat. “Sit” He told her but she shook her head.

“Why?”

“I don’t just want to, maybe i will, after i clear myself” She said and Ethan shrugged.

“So, you’re right. I went to a bar yesterday night, not a boyfriend but to meet Ella, who was a senior staff and my friend in the model Company I once worked it. It was very urgent that I didn’t get the time to take your permission, After the discussion, it was night and I thought it would be so disrespectful of me to come back so late. So I just spent the night at my house since my lent hadn’t expired. I swear I didn’t went there to meet a boyfriend or spend the night with him” Irish said.

Ethan sighed “Well.. I’m sorry to have had the wrong impression, but who wouldn’t have thought the same. ” Ethan said.

“I should be sorry for upsetting you” Irish said.

“It’s fine and you shouldn’t blame my driver for telling me everything. I asked him who he dropped off at that time of the night and he explained that to me. He owe me his loyalty” Ethan said.

“Of course, every worker should be loyal to their employee. But, you should have told me immediately you saw me in the morning, you made me worried, i kept wondering how i offended you in the space of yesternight and this morning” Irish said.

“I think you should have known a little bit of me by now. When I’m pissed at you, i tend to ignore you to avoid drama” Ethan said.

“Wow! I’m glad to know that, I’ll try not to upset you another time” Irish said, admiring the fireplace.

She wish she could go closer.

“Well… upsetting one another is bound to happen but what will really upset me is you going to that bar again, or planning to continue your work with the company. If you need anything, just tell me, I’m going to provide it for you”

Irish wondered why he said she shouldn’t go to bar again. Was it because of his brother Ethan? Or something else? She waved the thought away.

“Thank you but i won’t be needing anything. My pay is more than enough for me to want any other thing. Thanks so much Mr Ethan for offering me such pay, it’s gonna go a long way in my life” Irish said, appreciatively.

Ethan smiled.. finally she said thank you instead of questioning him.

“It’s fine Irish, I’m so glad Sarah find someone like you for my daughter” Ethan said. Irish cheeks suddenly turned red as she looked at her boss.

“Geez! Irish” She scolded herself inwardly.

“What’s wrong?” Ethan asked and Irish realised she had that sad look on. Her facial expressions is always sad whenever she remeber her father.

He really broke her, she played she doesn’t hate him with time. She had already suffered enough from the crime she didn’t commit.

“Nothing” Irish replied. “You sure?” Ethan insisted. “Yes”

“So, we’re cool now right?”Ethan asked. “Of course” Irish smiled.

“Let’s go sit near the fireplace”Ethan said, getting on his feet. Irish followed him excitedly.

She enjoys watching the fireplace.

That special glow and warmth always interest her.

They both sat in front of the fireplace with their legs folded. Ethan noticed the smile on Irish’s face.

“You love sitting near the fireplace too?” He asked.

“Totally! Watching the firewoods crack and burn to smaller sizes amuses me. The glow of the fire and the warmth is just so beautiful. And this particular one looks more beautiful than the ones I’ve seen” Irish said admiringly.

Ethan smiled.

Irish is the first person to ever admire the fireplace in his library. Most people have no interest in even seeing it.

” I love reading novels beside the fireplace too cause it always add a magical touch to it” Irish said, beaming and Ethan couldn’t help but admire her beauty in the glow of the fire.

“We have that in common, i love reading beside the fireplace too. Like, it’s one of my favorite thing”Ethan said.

“I know” Irish smiled. “Really? How?” Ethan asked.

“I browsed your personal information and reading beside the fireplace is one of your hobbies” “Really? You browsed my personal information?”

“Yeah, i had to cause i kept wondering how I got here. And how you even accepted me to become your daughter’s nanny even when it was my first time” Irish said.

“Like, why?” She asked.

“Cause Y has a tail and two branches” Ethan said and Irish laughed.

“I think this is the first time I’ll see you laugh so heartily, you look beautiful at it though” Ethan said.

“Thank you” Irish said, pressing her lips together.

She suddenly feel she shouldn’t be here with him. She’s only a nanny and the rate she’s starting to enjoy his company is too fast.

“Do you have anything against being complimented?” Ethan asked, noticing the faraway look in her eyes.

“Huh? No” Irish said.

“You suddenly looked withdrawn” Ethan said. “Well, i think i should leave now” Irish said. “Why?” Ethan asked, worriedly…
