The Billionaire's Obsession

Chapter 13 - Tea with Chris

Not once in my life did I fly first class before, but Nick assured me we had to fly first class if we headed to Tokyo. It was a long flight and he wanted to be as comfortable as possible, also getting some work done to make use of his free time up in the air. So it was like a dream flying first class with my billionaire boyfriend, but staying in the most exclusive hotel just made no sense to me. I felt out of place, but at the same time I couldn't help but to take it all in and be in complete awe of all of it. I might sound selfish, but I loved the luxury!

While I was getting dressed in our fancy hotel room, Nick was already handling his meetings and what not. He'd be back around six in the evening so I had some time to myself to get some schoolwork done and maybe explore the fancy hotel. Stepping out of the bedroom I met the gaze of the security guard who tagged along with us, making sure we didn't run into any trouble.

"You know when Mr. Jones is arriving?" I asked him.

He checked his watch but she assumed he knew exactly what time it was. It might be a thing he did out of habit, but that was something she'd be nosy about another time. He looked up again, meeting her curious gaze, "He arrived a few minutes ago. But I don't think it's such a good idea to meet up with him, Miss Pierce."

"Please call me Emily." I told him as I folded my arms across my chest, "And why is that?"

He cleared his throat, "Because he is a stranger to you if you had known him you'd know just like you he prefers it if people call him by his first name."

Nick would agree with the uptight security guard in a heartbeat. He'd probably think it was really stupid of me to approach Anna's husband while the man was on a business trip. But I couldn't help it, I was curious about what kind of man Anna was married. There had to be something wrong with him. There was no way a decent man would put up with a woman like her.

"Thanks for the information." I smiled at him, "Don't worry about me, I'm just going to have a talk with Chris. I won't say anything which will harm his relationship with Nicolas or his reputation for that matter."

The guy clenched his jaw, still not convinced about the meeting. Too bad for him Nick ordered him to grant my wishes like a genie. Flashing him another smile I walked past the stiff looking security guard and stepped out of my suite. He followed closely behind me and told me the whereabouts of Anna's husband.

"The garden...Odd." I whispered, "You'd think a man who is in the same business as my boyfriend would prefer a more...crowded place to spend his time."

The stiff security guy was now by my side and spoke in a low tone, "Chris enjoys art, music, and tea...Which is odd, yes, especially since he married a supermodel and owns a chain of nightclubs." He met my gaze and smirked, "I'm sure the two of you will get along fine."

"Thank you for the background check." I spotted the man named Chris instantly, "Stay at a distance, okay? I'd like to talk to Chris privately."

Stiff security guard stayed at a distance just as I asked while I approached Chris. It was like he felt my presence because he slightly turned looking at me instead of the beautiful colored tree.

"If it isn't Miss Emily Pierce." His accent was definitely a turn on if only I could close my eyes and listen to his voice forever, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Miss Pierce?"

I observed him closely, shamelessly ogling him. Trying to find any flaws in his appearance, but there weren't any. Chris Jones was seriously hot with his tanned skin and blonde hair. All I could think about was how crazy Anna was for trying to pursue Nick when she was married to this Australian god.

"It's rude to stare, Miss Pierce."

That freaking accent! It was confirmed, Anna was an idiot for not being glued to this guy's side for the rest of her life.
