The Billion Dollar Contract novel Chapter 15

Gabriel took a quick shower and got dressed in a black suit. When he was ready he went down stairs to wait for Nicole in the living room. While waiting for Nicole he decided to call Daniel, a very famous chef in New York and also a friend of his whose restaurant was built by his construction company. Daniel had once told him that he was a special guest at his restaurant so he was welcomed to come anytime, but Gabriel didn't want to abuse that privilege instead he called Daniel letting him know that he urgently needed reservation for a table for two.

Gabriel waited for twenty more minutes for Nicole before he noticed her coming down the stairs. She was looking incredibly sexy in a black off shoulder long sleeve bodycon mini dress and peeptoe ankle platforms. He wondered how ladies could walk in heels as high as those, her hair was wrapped up in a side part bun. This is the first time Gabriel was seeing Nicole with her hair up and she looked extremely beautiful, that made him breathless. He stood up from the couch as Nicole came and stood in front of him

"So? What do you think?" She asked with a smile

"Wait here" he said walking out of the living room.

Nicole wondered where he was going, he appeared back in the living room with a red square box in his hand. He asked Nicole to turn around which she did without objecting, she heard sounds and guessed he must be opening the box then she felt something on her neck, it was a small round shaped diamond necklace. Nicole couldn't believe that Gabriel was wearing her such a jewelry

"You look breathtaking" he whispered in her ear after wearing her the necklace

Nicole couldn't help but blush at his compliment, their closeness brought butterflies to her stomach, she had no idea why. What was this man doing to her? She thought to herself. Gabriel placed his hand on Nicole's lower back and led her out of the mansion. When they got to the restaurant, Nicole couldn't help but stare at the building before her in awe. It's architectural design was grand

"You like it?" Gabriel asked bringing Nicole down to earth

"It's beautiful. I love it" she replied still staring at the restaurant in wonder

"I built it" Gabriel said. Nicole's eyes went wide at his statement

"You mean, you actually built and designed this restaurant?" She asked in surprise. Gabriel nodded in reply

"Wow! You're really talented" Nicole complimented

"Thanks" Gabriel replied

A waiter came up to them, took them to their table and asked for their orders. Nicole suggested that they first be served with a glass of red wine while they take their time to look at the menu. The waiter left and came back minutes later with the wine. Nicole looked at the menu in her hands, the restaurant only served french cuisines and she has never had one before so she asked Gabriel to order for the both of them.

Gabriel called the waiter and ordered a Confit de canard and Nicoise salad as a side dish. Nicole had no idea what any of those were. Their orders were brought within minutes and Gabriel started eating, Nicole only stared at her meal. Gabriel noticed that Nicole hadn't touched her meal so he asked her to open her mouth, she slowly obeyed and he put a spoonful of his meal in her mouth. Nicole slowly chewed on the food, realizing that it wasn't bad she let out a moan causing Gabriel to stare at her like she had done something forbidden

"What? It tastes good. I can't help it" she said justifying her actions. Gabriel ignored her and carried on with his meal.

They were done with their main dish and were now having banana cream cheese cake for dessert. Nicole kept stealing glances at Gabriel wondering how a man as wealthy and handsome as he was could still be single
