Riley's POV

"Sir, I've gotten the information you need."

"Place it by the side and you may leave." I flipped open the folder and read through it carefully, not missing any single detail from it. Hmmmmm... She is really in need of money and doesn't have any boyfriends currently. Her status might not be appealing to my parents but I guess she will pass the mark. Let me think of a plan or rather a trap such that I will catch her unknowingly...

But for now, I am craving for her presence so much. It has only been a day but she's driving me insane. How is this even possible? I am the heartless billionaire. I have a heart of stone and isn't born to love. No, I will not fall in love with her. I will just act like a loving husband and within 18 months I will divorce her. In this way, I can inherit my father's business and still live my ways. Why not?

Let me formulate a plan first... I smirked, knowing for a fact that I am the master in the game of chess.

Carla's POV

I slipped and accidentally spilled the cup of coffee on him. His white shirt is covered in brown stains but he caught me in his arms before I hit the floor.

We stared into each other's eyes, caught in the moment. I was mesmerized by his lips, so perfect so addicting. He inched closer and lightly pecked my lips as if asking for my permission. I deepened the kiss and we were both in our own world.

"Carla, wake up!" Naralle's voice interrupted me from my dream.

Haizzz if only I could find my prince charming. One part of my mind reasoned. Why are you thinking about this now when you should focus on your brother's health and studies? Another part of my mind debated. Well, I guess I can only focus on one thing at a time. Let me find another job that is stable enough to pay my brother's bills and fees.

I did my usual morning routine and went to work. While I was making coffee, I felt a pair of eyes boring into me. Turning my head around, I realised its the same guy I served another day.

{Flashback}

"Here's your coffee sir..." I placed the cup of coffee on the table with trembling hands. His stare was so intense to the extent that I wanted to run away and hide.

"This is your tip." He stretched his arm and passed me a $50 note. When our fingers brushed, I swear there was an electrifying touch to it. He must have felt it too. He gasped when contact was made. After this incident, he left in a hurry.

I tried to ignore his presence and decided to focus on my work instead. However, no matter how I tried to block him out of my view, my mind will keep on thinking about him. When he wanted for his order to be taken, I was left with no other choice but to serve him.

"Sir, what would you like to have?" I tried to be calm but no matter what I tried, my cheeks will burn and my legs will turn to jelly.

"You." I blinked at his answer, unable to reply. After a few moments of staring at him like a goldfish, I asked the very first question that came to my mind," What?"

"Well, I would like to marry you."

"Are you insane? I am merely your waitress, please do not complicate things."

"I am sure you are having millions of questions in your mind. Get ready at 7pm and I will send my driver to pick you up at your apartment. During our meeting, I will answer all your queries and tell you the whole story. Its not safe here with prying eyes and ears. This is my business card. " Saying that, he walked away without turning back.

Should I? Should I not? I continued my work with a confused mind. When I reached home, I related the entire situation to Naralle.

"Woah! So epic! What is this man!" Naralle squealed and then jumped around for around 5 seconds.

"You should go Carla. I mean from your description, he does not seem to be a bad guy and what harm will there be? Just make sure you bring pepper spray and you are all set!"

"But don't you think it is a little too sudden and all. I have to take care of Finn and what if Finn injures himself when he goes out? I mean..."

"C'mon girl! Finn is already 17?!? And I will be sure to keep a lookout for him, ok?"

"Will you take no for an answer?"
"You know me too well baby!" Naralle winked.

"Now it's time to doll you up!" With that, Naralle pulled me towards the room.

After one and a half hours, she completely transformed me into a princess despite my protests.

"Naralle, I am going for a meeting not a date!" I wanted to pull out her hair.
"Sweetie, you need to be presentable!"

"Wait what! Are you trying to say that I am not presentable?"

"No no no." Naralle said while giggling.

It's 6.40pm when Naralle officially completed her "project".

"Have fun Carla and remember to keep an open mind!"

"Kay, bye Finn I am going to go out!" Just when I wore my shoes a horn sounded. I quickly made my way out and went into the car.

"Hi, I am attending a meeting with Mr Riley..."

Before anything else, darkness consumed me as someone forced something on my face...
