《Billionaire's Cut》Chapter 4
Advertisement
It's been 2 hrs and I can't focus on the paperwork. Adam is still not here and not responding to my msgs, I wonder what is taking him so long.
Knock on my office door made me jump from my chair only to see Nick with my coffee and the summaries I had asked him to bring to me.
A wave of disappointment hit me hard.
"Good morning sir, here is the summary for the Smith project," Nick stated and started to leave.
"Nick, have you seen Adam if you see please send him to my office immediately."
Nick nodded and walked out of the office.
Getting impatient and not being able to focus on my work is frustrating only because of a certain angel hovering over my mind.
"God, why it's taking so much time for Adam to bring some information about this girl." I wondered.
I didn't ask for her personal information cause I want to get to know her properly.
And it's invasion of ones privacy too.
Adam barged into my office, I released the air I didn't know I was holding. "I'm also sorry Leo, Elyse's car had some issues here is the info." He handed me the folder.
Elyse is Adams's fiance.
" Do you know your girl, was a model back then." He grinned
"She is not my girl." I spatted.
"Yet." Adam chuckled which also made me smile.
Just something about the idea of me being with her drives me crazy.
Looking at the information about her made me smile.
•Cardiothoracic resident surgeon at White Hill Hospital. Just two blocks away.
•high school rank 5
•columbia university Valedictorian
•NYU med school Valedictorian.
•performed open-heart surgery on finance minister of USA this year.
•worked as a commercial model 7 years ago.
She indeed is a brilliant woman.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts I forgot to listen to what Adam was talking about.
"Hey, lover boy! I bet you didn't even listen to the word I said." He chuckled.
"Turn the page, her modelling pictures are there." Adam insisted I turn the page.
Turning the page my eyes caught the attention of the most beautiful pair of brown eyes.
Back then her hair was short.
She looks much thinner than in recent and young too, she was 16 when she started modelling pretty early.

As I turn the pages there were more pictures of her, I couldn't stop wondering what this girl thinks, eats, how she laughs.
She was a woman every man wants beautiful, brilliant, kind and a little bit cute.
"Thanks, Adam." I genuinely thanked him.
"No problem Leo but could you please tell me now, what happened to your hand?"
I told him everything about the morning encounter, and he burst into laughter, "You didn't even say a word to her, the Leonardo Morello I knew would eat a person's brain off if they step on his shoe, what happened to him."
Yeah, one time this waitress was flirting with me in a restaurant for the whole dinner when I was with my clients but I ignored her, after biding my clients a goodbye I was about to leave she accidentally stepped on my foot while cleaning the table. It made me furious and I just bursted on her.
"Shut up you knew she was flirting with me." I reasoned with him.
As Adam recovered from his laughter, Connor entered my office which made me put my hands on my head, because if he knew something he can't digest he will run to my mom like a lost puppy.
"Hey Leo, heard you are getting some information on a doctor/model chick." Which angered me.
"Don't you say that again Connor, I will kill you with my bare hands" I gritted.
"You are so whipped, man." He chuckled and Adam joined him and told him everything about the encounter.
"Holy fuck, she didn't even look in your eyes, how can that happen. Are you sure Leo you want to know her or is the chase?" Connor asked
Connor can act stupid sometimes but his words are always are brilliant like he actually uses his brain.
"Nope I want to know her, she was kind, beautiful and something in my gut just told me to protect her from something," I told him while smiling.
"Leo you are smiling without a reason." Connor giggled
Adam stood up from the chair and placed his hand on my chair and said, "Go for her."
Connor interrupted us," but make sure she doesn't have a boyfriend."
That was the only thing holding me back.

Adam couldn't find out about that, As her social media is filled with her friends, doctors and some romance novels.
She Like romance novels.
Trust me Amore (love) I will make a one for you, for both of us, just to make your eyes shine.
Leo stay positive, she doesn't have one.
....................
My whole weekend was spent sleeping in or finding ways to approach her. God this girl is making me feel like fucking teenager.
I visited the same hospital where my angel works, my driver's son Julio is also admitted there and is going to have surgery on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find her.
God, please let me meet her one more time.
My thoughts were interrupted by my mother's phone call.
"ciao mamma."( hi mamma) I greeted her.
Mom: who is she? Tesoro ( darling).
Fucking Connor told her.
Me: mom it's not what you think, I don't even know if she has a boyfriend yet.
Mom: Trust me, Tesoro if you both are meant to be you both will meet.
I trust in the power of the almighty.
Something tells me things are about change for good.
Me: you are extremely positive mamma. You didn't even see her yet.
I liked her positivity it gave me a sense of hope.
Mom: who said I didn't see her, she is darn gorgeous and is a surgeon.
Well, it is enough to prove that she is not like Ava who was just with you for your money and as your beloved girlfriend.
My mother snorted, she always snorts when she is pissed or angry.
Me: mamma Ava was never my girlfriend I ended things with her before I even met Savanah. And I never even liked her love is a farthing.
Mom: so, her name is Savanah, a pretty name for the pretty girl. You both are gonna have the cutest kids.
Me: mamma!!! I am keeping the phone now.
Mom: idiota ( idiot). She chuckled.
The thought of having a family with her indeed made me smile.
Stop it Leo doesn't invest enough in it, what if she has a boyfriend.
Mom: stop smiling Ragazzo Amante ( lover boy), I only called you to tell you that tomorrow evening we have to go to Joanna's 37 wedding anniversary party at her restaurant. Do you remember her?
Carl's coffee house??? Yes, I do.
Sì ( yes).
Carl was one of my father's oldest friends, he used to be a businessman but 15 years ago he left all of this, to live a simple uncomplicated life with her wife.
Joanna was my mother's best friend they used to meet every day but 5 years ago my parents moved to Brooklyn and then they started to meet only occasionally.
I will be there, anything you want me to bring?
no, I have arranged everything you just have to show up at there 6 pm and I already made your schedule clear.
This woman.....
Sì mamma. Good night
Ti Amo.
Ti Amo Tesoro.
After talking with my mom I got up from my bed and went down the stairs to the kitchen, to cook something for myself.
I always have Gracia cooking and cleaning for me but on weekends I like to be alone and for once I like to enjoy cooking alone.
Gracia is my house helper she is 50 years old and like a second mother to me. I don't like many people in my house so I like only Gracia doing all the work for me.
After dinner, I washed my plates cleaned the table and went to the living room to watch something on tv.
After an hour I glanced at the watch is was 11:45 and I switched the tv off and went to the bed.
Watching the ceiling I thought about her a smile crept on my face, her sweet sorry, I can still hear them.
It's been 4 days and my hand is almost healed, I didn't want to remove the bandage she applied but eventually, I had to change it according to her note.
I pinned her note on my closet door I also noticed she has beautiful handwriting, unlike other doctors.
This girl is perfect in every sense, Gosh she is driving me insane.
Savanah, who are you what are you doing to me, thinking about her I didn't even know when darkness took over me and I slept like a rock

The Woman In The Palace
Highest rank #1 in Historical He glared at me with irritation. "Come inside!" ...And I did. He pointed to the stack of books on the floor. "Pick them up and arrange them the way they're supposed to."With trembling hands, I did what he asked quickly. Fret in the way I moved, picking up the books into my arms and lap one by one only for them to fall back on the floor over and over. I was a mess, upset, and it was obvious. This wasn't the kind of first meeting I dreamed of.The second prince was mean, and he was irritable. He had no clue who I am which made me resent it even more.He scowled as he watched me made mistakes after mistakes and after a while, he grew frustrated and bent over, picking the books himself."Forgive me, I didn't mean to snarl at you the way I did. I'm not used to being distracted. No one ever walks in my office unless they have my permission. I don't even know how the guardsmen let you in." I wanted to say because unlike you, they recognized who I am. But I kept my mouth shut in fear of aggravating his anger. His voice took a lot gentler tone, I imagined he must've realized how upset I was and felt bad about it.I said nothing.When we're done, I rose up to my feet, couldn't wait to get out of this room. This man was so impolite to me that I couldn't wait to get away from him."I apologize, your highness. I didn't mean to distract you in your private office." I stepped back getting ready to leave when a sliver of sunlight struck highlighting my face. "Wait!" He murmured and I turned back to look at him."You're beautiful." He said breathlessly.I would have blushed, but he was so mean and rude to me that his compliment lost its impact long ago."I need to go," I told him."Wait." A wave of panic rose in the tide of his voice. The prince was afraid to lose me. "What's your name, girl?" He asked quickly. "Jasmine, my name is Jasmine, your highness.""My Jasmine?" He murmured hopeful.
