He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 48

Hailey's

POV

I woke up the next day and his mood was good again. He was in the room, setting his tie, and was smiling. As I got up, he looked at me and passed a smile to me too. "Good morning, Hailey," he said.

"Yeah, it is a very good morning" I replied and got to him. "May I?" I asked.

He nodded and I did his tie. I got away and then smiling, I went to take a shower.

I went to the office and did the work, and the entire day went smoothly and happily. He was behaving even nicely now and was accepting of anything I say, be it taking him to dinner out tonight or to go from work earlier.

I took a leave from the office earlier, saying that I wanted to rest. He accepted without asking anything and I left the office.

I reached home and started preparing dinner. Yeah, first I decided to book some expensive restaurant, eat in luxury, but you know, home's food- best food.

I started seeing some recipes, much the same second, laziness took over me.

I think the restaurant isn't a bad idea.

I looked for the best restaurants around the city and finally found one that looked nice. I know, he always eats in these VIP Restaurants, and I should discourage him, but to be honest, I also wanna try these- at least once.

I got dressed and finally, after getting myself ready, I went downstairs. He must be coming soon, so I decided to book an appointment. I booked two tickets and waited for him.

After a long time, he was finally here. "Hey" I opened the door and let him in.

"Hey" he replied while throwing his jacket on the couch.

I picked it up. "Don't throw your things here and there"

"Oh, that is what you say to your husband, who returned after working the whole day? That don't throw your things? That is disappointing, Hailey!" he said while taking his place on the couch.

"Oh yeah? I also worked for the whole day. I just came a little earlier"

"Never mind" he patted next to him, "Come here"

I went and sat next to him, while he pulled me towards him and joined our lips in a passionate kiss. He smiled, getting away. "You always taste so good"

"You too" I stood up. "Let's go"

"Where?" he raised his eyebrow.

"Dinner!" I replied and dragged him out of his couch comfort.

We are here and trust me, it is so beautiful!

"Never knew you like expensive restaurants too" he commented as we made our way to the seat.

"Just like I never knew you'd like those normals?" I sat down and he sat next.

"Mhm, yeah maybe"

"Anyways, let's order"

"Yeah" he picked up the menu and while he was going through it, suddenly his phone rang.

"Ah, one minute" he picked up his call and was tense, all of a sudden.

"Okay. Fine. No. No need, I said. What? Why the hell were you not- fuck you, Max!" he yelled and sighed. "Yes. Over" he cut the call and looked at me.

"We've been attacked at Apartment B & D at once. I have to leave right now, I am sorry" he got up. "You'll make it to Apartment A?"

"Y-yeah"

"You know the address, right?"

"Yes, I do. Now go... and take care"

He smiled uneasily and nodded. "Bye"

I was sitting in a restaurant still. And the reason is, I don't remember the address. He thinks I know it, but in reality, he told me that I should never know it or else he will take me to the torture room. Although that was a long time back and now, I know the address. But I can't quite put my fingers on it.

"Hey" I heard a voice, and my all attention diverted to the figure.

I froze.

Ervin Hunter!?

"H-Hey" I replied, trying to put on a fake smile.

"Um... I see you aren't very happy about me being here" he said and sighed.

"What- no!" I lied. "It was just... unexpected"

He smiled at me and took a seat. "May I?"

"Yeah" I replied, although thinking that he already had taken a seat.

"So... why are you here alone?"

"Well, I was with Robert, but... uh... some important work jumped in"

"Oh, that's too bad. I bet you haven't had your dinner yet. Mind if I join?"

"Well... I was going home" I stood up. "So..."

"Um... I wanted to discuss some business with you, you know? It would be great if you could listen. After all, you are his Assistant"

I sighed, bounded by my duties, I sat down.

"Yeah... right" I sat more comfortably. "So, what's this all about?"

"Well, I will tell you" he picked up the menu. "After dinner"

I sighed, a little too heavily. "Yeah, fine"

We ordered again and the last order was refreshed.

He got up. "I will bring it"

"What no!" I retaliated. "The waitress will-"

"We have been waiting for the last 15 minutes. VIP service is 10 mins to the max. So, now, I am going" he left for the kitchen's area.

Well, he was right. We have been waiting for a little too much time. He returned with food in his hands. "It's yours, and this is mine" he kept the food on the table. "Thank you" I replied, suddenly impressed by his generosity.

"It is nothing, Mrs. Hailey"

And that missus reminded me that I am married- and that too to Robert, the one who hates the man I am eating with right now.

I started eating the food and damn, it was delicious. But after eating almost four bites- I started feeling dizzy.

"E-Ervin," I said, and he looked at me. He suddenly held me and then I knew I was going to fall.

"What happened, Mrs. Hailey!?" he was concerned.

"I-I am feeling dizzy," I said honestly. "I-I..."

"You should go home" he stood up, and I did too. "What's your address?"

If only I knew.

"I-I can't tell you"

"What? But..."

"Huh, leave me here, it is nothing"

"No. In this case, you are coming to my home" and he carried me to his car and drove off.
