The Billionaire Secret Admirer

People filled up the hall way as I rush to pass, I was trying to manoeuvre my way to the front but the crowd leaving the cinema was not easy to pass by.

I was pushing my way through. A lady who was walking and laughing beside her man almost fell down as I unknowingly pushed her, but her man caught her before she could get to the ground.

She was blocking my view as I try to rush through and got hit mistakenly.

I quickly apologies to her that it was not intentional.

The Lady was not ready to take my apologies, she was even ready for a fight but her boyfriend was holding her and telling her to calm down.

“Can’t you see…are you blind? You almost pushed me down. What kind of human being are you… eeh?

I apologized again because I needed to keep going. I did not have any time to waste with her. I was on a mission.

She was still raging when I turned and ran off for my target.

I did not see Richard and the lady with him again. My eyes was traveling to every corner and car parks while searching for them but they were nowhere to be found.

I swear out angrily, throw a fist to the air. I was almost out of breath after all the running to catch up and all my effort was all in vain.

I was about turning to find my way out when I sighted Richard.

He was standing beside a new car, I guess he changed his old car to something new.

Richard was talking over the phone. He looks happy and laugh along with the conversation.

The lady was not with him. She probably went to the mall beside the cinema to buy something and Richard decided to wait for her.

The lady was my main target and focus and I feel bad that I couldn’t get to know who she was.

I drawled a rasped breath, looked at myself very well to make sure I was looking alright.

I began walking down to Richard. Suddenly, the courage to proceed left me.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I stood at a distance staring at him for a while, hoping that the lady will come out from wherever she went to but it was taking forever.

I felt it was not necessary wasting my time here.

Whoever he chose to be with is none of my business.

I turned and took a cab home.

My mission was not accomplished, if I have kept my eyes focused on them without the sudden delay that occurred with the lady I mistakenly pushed, I could have known who she was and even followed her to wherever she was entering until I got the answer that I seek.

Her back view was just like my friend Jojo.

It was not possible for Jojo to be dating Richard, she can’t possibly be the lady that Richard was leaving me for. Jojo will not dare betray me like that.

She was my good friend and will never want to hurt me for any reason.

I try to wave it off and continue my usual weekly activities with less worries.

Melinda and my Dad called to tell me that my ring was really expensive and my man must have spent a fortune just to buy it for me.

They asked me when I will be bringing him because it was almost a month that I promised to come.

I told them that I will be coming soon, maybe the following week or next but I have things doing presently that will not enable me to come immediately but before two weeks runs out I will be around.

My Dad told me that Melinda’s husband to be was around over the weekend he is very entertaining and a fine gentleman.

They have even started with the whole wedding plan and a wedding date was fixed too.

My Dad wanted me to come anytime soon with my own man because they can’t wait to meet him.

Melinda asked me to send my man’s picture so that she can see him and also show to my parents.

I told her to calm down that she will still meet my own man. Melinda did not give up from asking and I did not fall for her tricks or let her get to me.

Is almost two weeks that Ohio was gone, I have thought of calling him severally but waved it off.

What exactly will I say to him, what if another lady picks the call?

At the end I did not call him again.

After two weeks Ohio was back.

I felt happy that I was going to see him that Monday but he did not come that day.

It was on Tuesday he came. When I saw him coming towards me, I almost leap up with joy. I felt like running to him and throwing my arms around him.

I wanted to do so many things but all I did was to smile and remain seated as he approached while smiling too.

Gasped out in self relief as he came closer and greeted me cheerfully asking me how I was doing.

I responded and even asked him how his journey went and he was kind enough to fill me in.

As he was talking, his eyes traveled down to my finger that has the engagement ring. I was trying to cover it up with my other hand but he still sight it.

He suddenly pause from talking and swallowed hard, I can sense his discomfort immediately he saw the ring.

I decided to ask him.

“Is there a problem…wha…what happened?

“Nothing serious Becca. I have not being seeing you with a ring, even after you told me that you are engaged. I thought you were trying to scare me off with that. After severally month or a year and I did not see you putting on a ring, I thought you weren’t serious. And now…I’m surprised to see you in one finally. I actually wanted to ask if you can do dinner this weekend with me in a cool restaurant…bu, t is fine. I will just leave you to concentrate… and congratulation…

He was still talking with worries in his eyes when his phone began to ring.

He picked up.

“Hey Lili, no…I will skipped lunch. I got some work. Yeah, dinner will be fine…I will drive down this evening. Chicken soup…not tonight. Something different…yeah….

He started walking away while still talking on phone. He later turned and waved at me before walking out of sight.

Ohio did not even give me a chance to explain myself. And the fact is I don’t know what to explain to him if I was given the chance to do so.

I wanted to pull off the ring immediately but he may think that I removed it because of him.

After the close of work, I went home disappointed at the whole turn of event.
