The Billionaire's Secret Lover

I wake up very late this morning after speaking to Nina on phone yesterday. I rode my chopper to work this morning to see that the reporters instead of reducing were increasing each passing day.

“Good morning sir, ”Aurora greeted me as I step into my office “ Mr. Andrea Is here to see you”.

“Send him in right away,” I said as I arrange files on my desk.

The door opens and Andrea walks in looking as smart as ever “Mon Ami, Michael” He said as he shakes my hands and sat down on the chair opposite me.

“Andrea!” I call smiling“To what do I hold this surprising visit from you”.

“You're asking as if you don't know why I'm here”.

“Oh!, the pictures,” I said as I recall, “ I thought you said you will mail it over”.

“Yes, I wanted to do that but when I saw the news, I decided to come over in person,” He said as he hands over the envelope containing Nina's and I pictures from the photoshoot.

“She's a very beautiful girl and exceptionally natural too,” Andrea said as soon as I start scanning the pictures.

Andrea wasn't exaggerating when he said she was beautiful and natural. She is exquisite even without makeup. A smile form on my lips as I remember her mouth on me, the night before.

“Hmm!” I cleared my throat, I shouldn't be thinking about that right now “You're right, she is really beautiful ” I replied as I look at him smiling.

“That's why I'm here,” Andrea said. I was confused as I look at him, my body stiffening. Does he want to date her?. 

Andrea notices my facial expressions and laughs wholeheartedly“ Wow!, Michael you need to see your face right now”.

I ignored him“ What do you mean by, that's why you are here?” 

“I mean, when I go through her pictures I discovered that this exactly what we need at Lush Beauty ' Beautiful and Natural '” He said as he looks at me, shrugging.

I look at him stunned and glances back at Nina's picture to see exactly what he meant. I smile proudly, happy that she belongs to me and me alone, she's my woman.

“I see what you mean” I replied staring at him“ What do you suggest we do?”I ask him.

He threw his hands up in the air “ You are the boss, I'm just an ordinary photographer” He replies shrugging.

“But if I may put in something ” He continues,.

“Ok, go on” I reply as I sit back on my chair, giving him my rapt attention.

“Deborah Melton contract at Lush Beauty is over today, I'll suggest that instead of renewing it, we can sign Nina in,” He said.

“Wow!, a brilliant idea,” I said smiling” Why didn't I think of that?. Ok, Aurora will get the paperwork done, I will speak with Nina today and probably, the signing will be done tomorrow”

“But there's one major problem,” Andrea said as he looks at me, holding up one finger.

“And what's that?” I ask him about to get impatient, as I have a meeting with all the managers of Thompson's Empires.
