Billionaire’s Regret: CEO Wants Mother Of Twin Back

Lily was busy at work when she received a message from the receptionist that someone wanted to deliver something to her. She’s not celebrating birthday neither has she ordered any goods online so where could the delivery man come from?

“I’m not expecting anything from anyone, maybe the person should state who sent them,” Lily stated.

“Okay, ma.” The receptionist then hung the call. The receptionist called a few minutes later and when Lily answered, the receptionist spoke into the phone and said, “He said he was sent my Drake Bell.”

Drake Bell? Lily was surprised. Why would he send a delivery guy to her during work hours?

“I’ll be there soon,” Lily can’t let this delivery guy come to her office so it’s better for her to go herself and see what’s he’s up to.

Once she stood from her seat, Ella, who now had her seat in the same room with her asked, “Lily, is everything alright?”

“I think so, I’ll be back soon,” Lily said and walked out, making Ella a little bit more curious.

When Lily got to the receptionist office, the delivery guy recognized her at once and immediately brought out the protrait from where it was kept. The protrait was covered with thick nylon so one will only know it’s a protrait, one wouldn’t know what was drawn inside.

“From Mr. Drake Bell, ma,” the delivery guy presented the protrait to her.

Took a few seconds of hesitation before she collected it from the delivery guy.

“Please sign here,” the delivery guy said and Lily put in her signature after which she watched the delivery guy walk away.

She took the protrait upstairs while wondering what could be inside. What was Drake Bell onto this time?

When she got to her office, Ella furrowed her brow on seeing a very large protrait in her hand, “oh my… Who sent you that?”

“Drake Bell,” she answered. She had told Ella a few things about herself at the club so Ella understood the nature of the relationship between Lily and Drake Bell.

“Wow!” Ella’s mouth formed an O shape, eventhough she hasn’t seen what was inside yet, she could tell that it will be beautiful. “If you are not comfortable checking it here, you can check it when you get inside your car.”

Lily smiled and dropped the protrait on the table, “let’s open it together, please.”

“Are you sure?” Ella asked and Lily affirmed with a nod.

She stood and helped her in revealing the protrait, behold, in the protrait was the most beautiful picture of Lily and the background? That background was her favorite location fantasy, it was where she had imagined going to again and again.

“Wow!” Ella exclaimed merrily. She had not seen a protrait as beautiful as this in her entire life. “The artist behind this beautiful piece of art must be a genius.”

“The both of you are supposed to be working…” A voice sounded from behind and both women turned back fearfully. They were so lost in adoring the protrait that they didn’t know when Alexander Bell walked in.

“We are sorry, sir…” Lily immediately said and began to wrap up the protrait but from where Alexander stood, he can already see the protrait.

“Lily is in her desk but you, Ella, you left your seat and came to her desk.” Alexander said, making Ella’s heart beat in fear. Was she about to loose her job? Oh gosh! It’s just two days in hew new post and she’s already about to be in Alexander Bell’s badside.

“You are fired!” Alexander declared and immediately called the security men to lead her out.

Ella and Lily immediately began to plead but Alexander didn’t listen to their plea. He just watched with an emotionless look. A couple of minutes later, the security men entered and lead Ella outside.

Lily then await her fate, would she be fired too? She stopped pleading and just awaits his decision but she felt very bad for Ella’s loss of job. It was as if she was the one who made her loose her job.

Just a few days ago, Ella and her were celebrating her promotion at the club and now today, she’s fired.

Alexander Bell walked to her table and picked up the protrait, seeing her beautiful picture drawn perfectly in there, he looked at her and asked, “who sent you this?”

“Drake Bell… sir,” she answered. Her mood was very flat and down but she must still keep a professional manner. She worked hard to reach this height in the design world, she wouldn’t just want to fall off the ladder of her career Yenny Designs isn’t just the biggest design company in the continent, ninety percent of other design companies that exist in the continent would obey whatever Yenny Designs commands and that’s because they are always willing to get a contract or some sort of partnership with Yenny Designs.

Getting fired from a company like Yenny Designs might be the end of one’s career.

Alexander Bell wondered why Drake Bell would send her this at work. “I guess he didn’t mind getting you fired.”

Lily could only swallow the lump in her throat. Was she supposed to blame Drake Bell for sending her a protrait during work hours or was she supposed to blame herself for opening up the protrait in her office. Perhaps, she could have gone straight to her car and keep the protrait there then check it at home or when she’s going home.

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s all my fault,” Lily apologized.

“This better not repeat itself again,” after saying this, he walked back to his office. If not because he wants Lily close to him, he would have fired her immediately just as he fired her friend. He hates it when people are doing something else other than working during working period. He hates lackadaisical attitude.

“Thank you, sir.”

Lily heaved a sigh as he watched him leave, she immediately placed the protrait down beside her table and resumed work at once. She planned on calling Ella during her break period.

Time went by quickly and it was already her break period, she called Ella at once but she wasn’t answering the call. She called her again and again but Ella wasn’t answering. She also sent series of text but Ella didn’t answer still.

That made Lily very angry that she had to call Drake Bell, once he answered, Lily spoke rudely to the phone, “Why did you send me the protrait during working hours?”

That wasn’t the reaction Drake Bell was expecting from her. Nonetheless, he wasn’t angry at all, he just spoke rather calmly, “did you not like it?”

“It’s not about that. You could have given me when we were home. Now you just got my friend fired.” She said angrily.

Took a while before Drake Bell spoke, “Tell her to send me her CV, I’ll get a new job for her.”

Lily was dumbfounded at his response. His reaction to her anger and outburst was rather calm, “okay.” Then she hung up.

She assumed that Ella wasn’t answering her call because she was probably angry so she simply texted her, “Ella, Drake Bell said you should send your CV over and that he will help you get a new job. Please respond.”

Still, Ella didn’t respond. The break was soon over and Ella resumed work. Her phone started flashing lights as her phone was in silence. Phone calls weren’t permitted to ring out loud during work.

Although it was a strange number, she answered it nonetheless, “hello, is this miss Lily?”

“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Lily asked, while looking back hoping Alexander doesn’t show up and catch her receiving calls during work hours as it isn’t permitted unless it’s urgent.

“I’m doctor John. Miss. Ella had an accident and is currently in a state of coma, please come to Bridger’s hospital as soon as you can.” The doctor said.

“Okay… okay…” Lily hung up. She could barely breathe anymore. She just sat still. Ella must have the had the accident on her way home. Thinking about this, her heart breaks. She needs to check up on her now.

She immediately wrote a letter asking for a leave and sent it to Mason while stating the reason.

Mason replied almost immediately, granting her the permission she requested.

She immediately stood from her desk and walked out. About twenty two minutes later, she arrived at the hospital. And soon found the doctor. “Can I get to see her already?”

“No please. She’s in the ICU, her car was badly damaged beyound repair cause she literally collided on a truck and as for her, we need to operate on her as soon as we can but that will cost.” The doctor said.

“Have you reached out to any of her family members?” Lily asked.

“Ella isn’t even a US citizen, her families are in Russia and we can’t currently connect anyone in Russia at the moment due to the global break in transmission. I guess you are the only one capable of helping her.” The doctor explained.

“How much will this cost, doctor?” She asked.

“About three hundred thousand,” the doctor stated.

“What! Three hundred thousand dollar? Is it that severe?” Lily asked. She was expecting something below twenty thousand dollars.

The doctor brought out the scans that had been done on Ella and began to explain to Lily how many bones broke in Ella’s body and the damanges that occurred in several part of her body.

Lily understood the gravity of the accident then suddenly began to think of how to get three hundred thousand dollars. That’s such a huge amount of money, where in the world will she see that? Even her savings isn’t up to half of this.

“How many days do I have to come up with the money?” Lily asked.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Honestly, if you can get it now, it will be better. But if not now, I can only hope she will stay alive by the time you are able to get the money, ” the doctor said.

“Got it, doctor,” she said and immediately walked out of the hospital. As she approached her car, she couldn’t help the tears that streamed down her face. Should she ask for an advance salary from Alexander? That will be too awkward plus it will take more than one year advance salary to foot the bill.
