It’s Billionaire Vs Ex Heiress Now

her arms. Nice try but you
e not getting my number. Someone has to tell her she was still too proud for someone like her with no money and lost the title of the heiress.

I sighed and looked at her. She snarled. That did it for me. Who was she showing the attitude to? I pulled her towards me and held her by placing both my hands around her shoulders. You should be thanking me, Cordelia.

For what? Intruding in my life? To think of it, why are you even back? Her narrowed eyes were questioning me but my eyes were busy staring at her lips. Id got just a taste a few minutes back but I was craving to cheat on my diet. In what I would call an imbalance of the hormone I forgot that she was lethal and made a move. But she was good with reflexes as she didn waste a second as soon as she realized what I was about to do and slapped my right cheek so hard I was sure people outside the exit door mustve heard it.

I was still stunned by the rebuttal when she said, This is not the place that you
e doing about anything that comes to your mind. Don even think about getting into my life again, Jackson!

Should I buy it then? I have no idea why I said that. I guess the slap made me lose my mind.

Her face scrunched up. You will buy this place? I get it over the years youve earned some money but don go on about riding on high horses unnecessarily. You wouldn even realize when youll fall. While saying the last sentence her voice trembled enough for me to notice. I was an expert in noticing her minute details given our history together. What exactly happened when she became poor? I checked in with Claire, Cordelias fathers business was still going well, they even made tons of profit this year, her mother was also busy buying designer stuff, their house had yearly renovations, and they even bought new properties and lands, then what in the hell happened to Cordelia? Why she was in such a dire state that she couldn even pay for a simple dinner? Grandpa knew about this, but he won tell. Hed said Id find out after marriage but for that, I had to convince his granddaughter to marry me.

Want me to drop you home? My sudden offer made her scoff.

And tell you where I live. No thanks.

Fine, its not like I cannot find that out myself.

Her eyes widened. What are you a stalker? First, you want my phone number then you wanna know where I live. Next is what you
e in my home before I reach there!

How about we go together? I have something I have to talk to you about. I suggested innocently.

But I have nothing to say to you. Email me your account details later and Ill pay you the money. Then we are done. She said and walked out of the fire exit.

I sighed. Convincing her wasn going to be easy. But there was no other option. The contract was made and she has to sign it or I will lose out on the project. Both Mr. Takahashi and her ex are in my way and the only option that I have is to get her on my side. I called Claire who was right now waiting for me at the table reserved for my now-canceled meeting.

Do you even know how much convincing it took me to make sure they gave us another chance?! She shouted straight after picking up the call.

Calm down. I have a task for you.

First, tell me why you canceled the meeting. Damn, she was too demanding for a secretary. But she had all the right to be angry. Shed fixed a meeting with the London clients because Id asked her to but then finding Cordelia was here as well, I couldn let the two exes meet so I canceled the meeting.

Later, first, do what I want you to.

And that is….

Find out Cordelias phone number and her address.

There was a long pause before she spoke. Not happening. I don support stalking at all!

I sighed. Claire! Im not a stalker!

What you want to do sounds like that.

My fist lightly hit my forehead. Why was I surrounded by people who misunderstood me all the bloody time? Fine. Then find out what happened in her family that shes living away from them.

Sorry sir but I don pry on other peoples personal life.

Then whose personal life do you want to pry on?! Mine! I shouted in frustration.

Sir…

Let it be. Who am I even asking? You never listen to me! Ill do things on my own. I said and ended the call.

I maintained a grumpy face throughout the drive. Claire paid no attention to me and reviewed the documents left to be reviewed for today. When her home came she just left with a simple bye. This was the thing about her, she would be straightforward in everything. She was neither an over-hardworking type nor was she underworking type. Probably this is why sometimes I was irked by her, today was one of the days.

Grandpa won tell me what happened to Cordelia. Claire won help me dig for information on her. So what was left was Me, myself, and I. And there was already a plan forming in my mind.
