Chapter 417: A 100 dollar bill
Ari lost count of how many times they did it that night. Wild, passionate sex with no strings attached. It was nothing like she had ever felt. Morning came too quickly, as Ari was woken by her alarm. She had set an alarm for 6 because she had a job interview at GreenField Corporation.
She was an accountant. She had worked for Dalton Clinics for two years, but she wanted to move to a new environment and get better opportunities, plus she was having issues with her manager, and he was making work difficult for her.
She had gone for a few interviews, but the companies were yet to call her back. Greenfield was her last straw.
Ari jumped up from the bed naked and she hurried to the bathroom, but she stopped halfway when she noticed someone lying on the bed.
Remembering her escapade the previous night, she ran back to the bed and shook him roughly.
"Wake up! It\'s time to leave."
Seeing him this morning, she noticed how great his body was. He looked like he worked out. He was sleeping with messy hair and yet he looked like he was posing for a photoshoot. Ari shook her head, stumbling out of her thoughts. She was not about to drool over a stranger.
Ari shook him again. The man on the bed did not budge, and she got impatient. Picking a pillow, she lunged it at him.
Xavier opened his eyes, and they met a pair of perfect boobs and a cleanly waxed V line.
He was still lost staring when he felt an object meet his face.
"Wake up, it\'s morning, you have to leave now."
Ari said, and Xavier looked at her face. He had seen her the previous night, but seeing her right now, he couldn\'t believe how pretty she was. And the fact that she was shouting, but it was as though she was singing a sweet melody in his ears. Her voice was so sweet to listen to.
Memories of the previous night flooded back, and he couldn\'t believe this petite, beautiful goddess could be that wild.
"Can you hear me at all?!"
Ari shouted this time. He was just staring at her as though she were not talking to him.
Xavier sat up. He was naked, so he covered his lower body with the duvet.
"Get dressed, you have to go now."
She said. Xavier stared at her, confused. Was she throwing him out of her house?
For a second, he felt like she had used him for sex. There was an aloof expression on her face, and it looked like she meant every word she said.
"I have to take a shower first," Xavier said, but Ari shook her head.
"So sorry but, I have an interview and I can\'t waste a single second else I\'ll be late."
Thinking for a second, she picked her purse from her couch and took out a 100 dollar bill,
"Take this for your tfare. Last night was super amazing. Thank you."
Xavier was both shocked and amused. This was the first time a woman treated him like that.
Standing up, he took the bill and put on his clothes.
She smiled and hurried off to shower.
Xavier stared at the shut door, surprised. This woman was crazy.
As he wore his clothes, he looked around the room. He did not have time to look around last night when he came. Her place was humble. It didn\'t look like she was from a lavish home, but she lived comfortably.
Walking out her door, he stared at the 100 dollar bill she had given him and laughed.
Such a strange woman.
Quickly he called his chauffeur, and in minutes, he arrived.
Xavier got into the car and went home to prepare for work.
The Howells Corporation has expanded in the past years and Xavier was in charge of one of the sister companies while his father managed the major company.
When he got home, he took a shower and prepared for work. As he walked to his car, his phone vibrates in his hand.
"Don\'t forget the charity dinner tonight! Xoxo."
It was Melissa, his FWB. Everyone thought they were dating since they went to important events together, but only his close friends knew it was nothing exclusive. She had other guys while he had other women, too.
His mom, Tiana, wanted to meet who he was seeing, so he told her it was Melissa. He had been in an on-and-off relationship before her, but they didn\'t last past a year.
Xavier was never early to work, so it wasn\'t new. The employees always tried to fix all his important meetings after 10 am.
When he arrived at the office, his pa hurriedly followed him.
"What\'s on my schedule?"
"You have a meeting with the governor at 2 pm and this is the list of the new workers interviewed today. The CPO submitted it earlier."
Nicklaus took the document from him and dropped it by his side.
"What else?"
"A few contracts were emailed to me. I am yet to sort them out. I\'ll send them to you once I\'m done."
Nicklaus nodded and waved his Pa to leave.
Picking the document in front of him, he relaxed in his chair as he went through the files of the interviewees.
Suddenly, Xavier sat up as a wide smile appeared on his chin.
Who would have thought?
Maria Guzman, age 24.
Xavier laughed as he stood up with her CV, flickering his finger over it. Who would have thought that the company she had chased him earlier this morning for was his company?
Picking his telephone, he called his pa over,
"Tell the CPO to employ this one, and every other person he deems fit."
Xavier said, handing the files to his pa.
Owen, took the file, wondering if his boss knew the woman. But not asking, he nodded and walked out of the office.
