Billion Dollar Surprise: A Billionaire Romance Read Free

 
    "Leave it on my desk." He said, dropping his eyes back to his monitor. Kylie walked over and placed the white paper bag on his desk.  
    "Mr Matthews?" Kylie said, interrupting him from his work again.  
    "What?" He said, looking frustrated by the continued conversation.   The annoyance in his voice put Kylie on edge and she realised that she had better leave.  
    "Have a good day." She said quickly, flashing a smile at him.

    "You know the billionaire!?" Felix exclaimed, looking as though he couldn't quite believe what Kylie had just told him.  
    "We grew up together." Kylie said. Her first day at work had finished and she had told Felix everything, as soon as she had gotten home.  
    "But he doesn't remember you?" Felix said with his eyebrow arching.  
    "No.." Kylie said, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice, but Felix knew her too well to be fooled.  
    "Don't be down sweetie, maybe you just look different to what you did, back then." Felix said, trying to excuse the idea that he had simply just forgotten her.  
    "Well he looked different, bigger, more handsome...But I still remembered him! I could never forget him" Kylie said in a manner of fact, type of way.  
    "Sure you did, but weren't you like, you know, in love with him?" Felix said carefully, as to not hurt her feelings.  
    "But we were best friends Felix, we grew up together, we saw each other every single day for years." She said not even bothering to mask the pain in her voice this time.  
    "Well, why didn't you remind him?" Felix asked curiously.  
    He knew that Noah had meant a lot to her, she had told him about him long before that day. He couldn't understand why, after all these years; she hadn't just told him who she was.  
    "Because." Kylie said, not really knowing what the answer was.  
    "Because?" Felix pushed, not accepting the half assed answer that she had given him.  
    "Well, he's changed his name, he never tried to get back in touch, I just figured, he doesn't want to know." Kylie said. Felix nodded his head.  
    "I understand sweetie." He said after a moment.  
    Kylie groaned and threw herself back onto her bed. In all the times she had dreamed of coming to New York, she had never once considered the possibility of running into Noah, or Christopher, or whatever his name was.  
    "Do you think I should quit?" She asked Felix. He shook his head.  
    "No! This is your stepping stone girl, don't you dare give up, just because some dude from your past has shown up!" He told her.
    "You're right." She said, nodding her head slowly.  
    "I always am." Felix said, grinning at her.  
    Kylie rolled her eyes, which was something she often did, when talking to Felix.  
    "Are you planning on telling him who you are?" Felix asked.  
    "Honestly, I don't know" Kylie said.  
    She was trying to make sense of her thoughts. They were racing around in her head, faster than she could process them and it was making her almost feel dizzy. She closed her eyes and put her hand over them.  
    "Don't be so melodramatic." Felix said watching her.  
    "Shut up!" She shot back playfully throwing a pillow at him.
    As night fell, Kylie tried to sleep early, the problem was the thoughts which had been racing in her head still hadn't slowed down.  
    She wondered to herself whether she should tell him. Whether she should just burst into his office and demand that he remembered her. She couldn't shake the feeling though it was a bad idea though. He clearly didn't want to be remembered as Noah and surely her walking in there and calling him out, would only land her jobless and broken hearted.  
    Kylie wasn't sure when she had fallen asleep, but as her alarm buzzed beside her head, she awoke with a start. Her dreams had been filled with Noah as she opened her eyes, all the problems that had arisen the day before, came shooting back into the forefront of her mind.  
    She tried to push the thoughts aside, as she got ready, but they fought back and
