Billionaire Nick
Chapter 5: Smile
Nick
"So you're alive,’' I snapped the moment I barged inside Blake's office.
His eyes were fixed on his laptop screen and the moment he looked up, a look of surprise fell on his face, followed by a roll of his eyes and then a sigh.
"l imagined you lying in a hospital bed, since that's the only reason you wouldn't be answering my texts or calls, right?"
I asked.
"What do you want, Nick?"
he said wryly.
"Nothing"
I shook my head.
"In fact, I come bearing gifts."
Walking up to his desk, I held up a giant chocolate bar in front of him.
"You know I'm not a fan of chocolates."
His eyes narrowed for a moment.
"Yeah.Which is why I brought it."
I opened the wrapper and took a large bite, suppressing a laugh when Blake scowled at me.
"So you came here all the way from your office just to eat a chocolate bar?"
"No, of course not."
I shook my head.
"I came here to make sure you still know how to use your phone so you can reply to people: He sighed.
"I've been busy, Nick"
"Doing what, exactly?"
I raised a brow.
"You know I run a company, right?"
"Yeah, so do I.’ I shrugged.
"What's your point?"
"Well, someone's not taking your staff away so..."
He shrugged.
"Intern" I corrected.
"Yeah."
An intern that still did some important work around here: "No wonder you sent her to pick up a bunch of files."
I raised a brow.
His jaw clenched as he watched me silently for a few moments and I prepared myself to dodge a punch.
"What do you want with her, Nick?" he finally asked.
I blinked.
"Who? Caroline?"
He didn't answer.
"What could I possibly want with her?" I frowned.
"You tell me.Going to the extent of fighting your best bud just to have her work for you? Seems suspicious: "Okay, Detective Andrews,’ I chuckled.
"First, you're just overthinking, and second, I didn't fight you"
"Oh, you didn't?"
"We just had a disagreement, Blake.What are you so mad about?"
He took a deep breath and turned to his laptop again.
"I'm working, Nick: Come on!
"Look,’ I snapped.
"If you've got a problem with me, say it to my face.Or challenge me to a kickboxing match if you really wanna let some steam off.", He raised a brow.
"Relax, I'll let you hit me,’ I muttered.At this he let out frustrated groan, and to my surprise, a laugh.
"But don't ignore me.You know I hate it when someone does that" I said.
"I know" He nodded.
"Which is why I do it" I narrowed my eyes.
"So are you going to eat this chocolate or am I gonna have to finish it off alone?" I asked.
"Like that's going to be a problem for you.’ He smirked.
