The Billionaire's Desire novel Chapter 2

He was everywhere

He knew everyone

Everyone loved him

As you could tell I spent most of my night watching this man as he did a rotation of the room talking. Laughing commanding everyone with his charm his natural presence.

I found out his name was Nickolas or nick for short and as well as being a handsome guy he was an estate agent well known in London. He has his own tv show and used to be a model. No wonder, with all his good looks.

"my god woman, give us ordinary men a chance with your eyes," my friend john said coming and pulling up a chair next to me. I only smirked looking over at him.

"you jealous "I played with him. He shouldn't be he got one hell of a stunner with him tonight. She also happens to be one of my closest friends and I'm the reason they are together to this day.

John worked with the company about 3 years back and he had been an amazing editor for our promotional materials but turns out he wanted to work for himself so he quit. Jake was not happy at all that we were losing our best editor but nonetheless, we were all excited for him.

"nah bitch you're crazy" can't say he's lying I am little crazy.

I was about to say something else but someone beat me and came whispered in my ear. Looks like it was my time to do this fucking speech. Lord knows what's going to come out of my mouth

"lord, you're speaking give us strength" Jessica john girlfriend and my besties said coming to sit at the table.

I glare at her before following the guy up to the stage. Everyone started to quiet down obviously realising our little break was over and now we had to get back to showbiz.

"5 minutes alright," the director said before opening the curtain for me to enter to the stage.

5 minutes isn't that long when you're actually doing it. This should be interesting.

I stepped onto the stage with confidence in letting my legs take me to the centre. I knew Amy would be more than happy with her dress being centre stage and everything. Lucky little bitch, I deserve a commission for this kind of stuff.

"it's an honour to be here standing in front of all your successful people here. I have myself worked to get to the level of success I am at now, however, it hasn't all been that simple. I've faced failures a lot of them but I've always believed in myself in my dreams which has helped me to get up every day. You don't have to have a masters degree to be able to achieve and become successful. For these young people growing in fast pace world I want to let you know that there will be challenges but if you truly believe in yourself then you can make it 100 percent.

I took a deep breath from the almost rant I went on. Jake was looking up at me proud. I smiled down at him. People started to clap obviously liking my speech but I wasn't completely done yet. As I looked around my eyes found him, he was staring at me like everyone else.

It wasn't his handsome features that made me stare longer this time or the reason for my gasp.

It was the woman standing a few metres behind him right at the door.

Without a second to think I shouted to the room "GET DOWN!!!"

People looked on with curiosity before I heard gun shots go off. That is when people started to scream and panic. My body was instantly brought down to the floor and covered by two rather large bodyguards.

All I could hear was the guys shouting telling people to take cover. I could not see anything I didn't really know what was happening I just hoped that woman no longer had her gun.

"you bastards, flaunting your money when were suffering, selfish ignorant bustards" that must have been the woman it had to be.

How did she even get in here with a fucking gun?

Finally, the men got off me and lifted me back up onto my feet. When I could finally see the whole room was stunned to silence. I saw the glimpse of the woman being dragged out of the room.

"are you hurt," Jake said running up to the stage he checked my body for any signs of an injury but I wasn't hurt. Yes, maybe the men did grab me quite roughly but I wasn't shot.

"no, I'm fine, what about everyone, did she shoot anyone?" I said checking around the room. Luckily for all of us, nobody was shot but there was a bullet lodged in the glass wall right beside me on the stage.

Was she aiming for me?

"no, her aim was dodgy everyone got down quick enough and then the police guards attacked her before she got a better aim" I know what he was saying but I didn't save these people.

My idiotic self was too busy staring at a guy that I didn't notice it earlier.
