The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Irish screamed but the unknown woman didn’t make her scream for long before pushing her into the water.

She was a good swimmer but the shock almost made her drown and when she could finally manage to bring out her head.

All that escaped from her mouth was “Help”

Going unconscious, the last thing she heard was running footsteps.

*

“Irish, Irish” She heard faintly. It felt like she was in a dark enclosed state and trying to open her eyes kinda seemed impossible.

“She’s breathing” She heard a familiar voice said and then she felt a warm hand touch hers. Her eyes opened almost instantly and she saw pairs of eyes staring down at her.

What?

The first person she recognized was Ethan.

He’s wearing such a worried look, same with Gabriella and then Carl, Alex, Arin and Javad. She remembered what had happened in an instant and her mouth went unpleasantly dry.

“Irish!” Arin called and she realised it was the girl’s warm hand that had taken her out of the dark state.

Her eyes were filled with unshed tears and she tried not to hug Arin.

“Are you okay?”Ethan asked her. She nodded.

He’s still clad in his office wears and his tie was the only thing out of place. She felt bad, knowing she must have worried everyone.

“What happened?” Gabriella asked, staring down at her in pity.

“Where was she anyway?” Irish wondered as she stared at the ceiling.

This isn’t her room ceiling and the bed she was lying on doesn’t feel like hers either.

She couldn’t get to look around properly cause they were all hovering over her, blocking her view in the process.

She needed space but of course she couldn’t tell them that and she was still so confused.

What had happened to her?

Did someone really pushed her or was it just hallucination? Had she slipped?

She blinked in confusion, not wanting to believe someone had pushed her. She shuddered at the thought.

“Y’all should leave” Ethan said sensing Irish needed time to herself. “And Javad, give Doc Luc a call not to bother anymore” Ethan said. “Okay Mr Ethan” Javad said.

They all left but Arin refused to.

“Arin, including you” Ethan said and she pouted. “C’mon” Ethan said.

She hesitated “Will she be fine?”

“Yes she’ll be, just go join Gabriella in the kitchen” Ethan said and she walked away.

“I don’t know what you did to my daughter” Ethan said and Irish, even though in a confused state, smiled.

She noticed she wasn’t laying on a bed after all, she was on a couch in the living room. A thick towel was draped over her and it shifted slightly as she sat up.

She was still clad in her wears which clung tightly to her body.

Harold sat gently beside her and sighed.

“So, what really happened?” He asked and Irish stared at him beneath her lashes.

She hates bothering anyone.

She resumed days ago and she’s already keeping everyone on their toes. What the hell is wrong with her?

Was it clumsiness?

No, she was never clumsy.

“I’m sorry to have bothered you Mr Ethan” She said feeling so bad. “No, don’t be sorry over that. I should be glad you’re fine” Ethan said.

Irish who couldn’t ignore how her heart kept beating fast simply because of how close Ethan is. Her whole body was at alert and she hated herself for feeling that way.

“Did you.. rushed down home because of me?” Irish asked.

“Not really, i was actually done at work when i got the call” Ethan said rubbing the back of his neck on sighting how Irish’s vest had clung to her breasts.

It’s almost turning him on and he secretly cursed himself.

He shouldn’t be thinking of this!

This lady just got rescued from drowning!

He sighed and unbottened the first button on his shirt.

“Irish, you shouldn’t have swim if you’re not very good at it . Or you should have called Carl to put you through” Ethan said.

He had almost tripped while rushing out of his office after he got Carl’s call.

“Im a good swimmer but I.. i hadn’t even attempted to swim” Irish said.

Ethan noticed that was true cause she was brought out of the pool fully clad. If she had wanted to swim, she would have changed into something else.

“So what happened?” Ethan asked and observed Irish had a faraway look in her eyes.

“I.. so.. i was standing by the edge of the pool…” Irish paused still failing to believe someone had actually pushed her.

“And?” Ethan prompted.

“I think i slipped and fell into the pool” Irish concluded. “You think? You’re not sure?” Ethan asked.

“I am. I’m sure i slipped” Irish said.

“Ohh, I’m glad you’re fine now. You have to be extra careful from now on” Ethan said and Irish nodded.

“Thanks Mr Ethan and I’m sorry for bothering everyone once again” Irene said. “Com’on, it’s cool. ” Ethan smiled and her heart skipped a beat.

Everything about him is just so desirable.

His smile alone can melt hundreds of heart including hers even is she’s not ready to admit it. Why hadn’t she noticed it before?

She had been trying so hard to ignore how he makes her feel just in a short period of time .

“Go get changed into a dry wear, so you’ll feel better” Ethan suggested. “Ohh” Irish stared down at her body.

“Thanks” She said, slowly rising to her feet”

A thick strand of wet hair clung to her forehead and Ethan found himself reaching out to tuck it behind her ear.

He smiled at her after she looked at him in surprise.

Did he just tuck her hair behind her ear? A billionaire had just…

And she had trembled under his touch.

No, she had trembled because of the cold right?

“I’ll walk you to your room” Ethan offered. “Never mind Mr Ethan, I’ll be fine” Irish said. “Are you sure?”

“Yes” She said, hugging the towel tightly. She’s feeling so cold.

“We’ll meet over dinner then” Ethan said and Irish nodded. She walked up the stairs with her mind occupied.

Her sudden feelings and what had happened at the pool really puzzled her. What’s going on with her?

She should be able to remember if she had slipped but the thought of someone pushing her kept replaying in her memory.

If someone did pushed her. Who could it be?

No, no one had pushed her.

She should just leave it that way.

She walked into her room and closed the door behind her.

She dropped the towel and slipped out of her clothes before walking into the bathroom.
