Contracted To The Billionaire novel Chapter 8

"Hey, Alexia, this is Jack Williams, do you have time?"

"Yes, I was about to reply to you." I didn't expect him to call, and I was a little embarrassed.

"I'll pick you up this afternoon." Jack Williams eagerly wanted to strengthen his relationship with me.

"No, thanks. I will take the subway to arrive faster. So I won't bother you."

Although Alexia rejected Jack, he was still happy. It was because he saw something real in her heart. She didn't worship money, and she was a perfect choice for his wife.

"Then I'll see you at 2 in the afternoon." Jack Williams hung up in satisfaction.

After searching again not finding the necklace, I dressed up casually and went to the appointment.

At the mall...

"I bought the 2:50 Titanic. It's still early. So let's go shopping." I nodded and went shopping with him. But I was still worried about the necklace. I totally ignored other people's gazes.

But other people's envious stare made Jack Williams even more satisfied. It was because a beautiful girl, I could say that about myself. I was standing by his side. It was like he is telling everyone that he was a successful person, and he didn't expect to meet such an elegant lady.

To show everyone his success, Jack Williams took me to the coffee shop with a lot of people.

"What do you want to drink?" Jack Williams asked like a gentleman.

"Ah, anything is okay." I didn't like coffee at all. It tastes bitter. So I preferred milk.

After getting the coffee, we sat by the window, and I found him staring at me. "What happened?"

"Your earrings?" He wanted to get close to my ears and I quickly escaped. Then I discovered that the SKY Mermaid earrings were still on my ears.

"Diamonds." His tone was strange.

"No, it's fake. I bought it because it looks good." I lied instantly.

Jack Williams heard the answer and was more satisfied with me. What a diligent and thrifty girl!

"The movie is about to begin. Let's go." I changed the topic.

In the end, I couldn't calm down and appreciate the movie. I had been thinking about the lost necklace and the meaning of that beautiful gift. This necklace was so famous that it could be found in the Internet. Sky mermaid meant loyalty. It's for lovers. Why did Calvin give this to me? Did he want to pursue me? If it was true, should I agree? No, no, I wouldn't agree. My life had finally stabilized. I didn't want to get caught up in some unrealistic things. He was so young, handsome, and rich. How could he like such an ordinary me? But now that I have lost his necklace, how should I repay him? If we would get together in the future, I would feel even apologetic for him. His lover would probably hate me.

I watched the movie absently, completely unaware of what Jack Williams was talking about.

"Hey, alexia, are you ok?" Jack Williams was a little unhappy.

After the whole movie, I didn't interact with Jack, which made him feel dissatisfied. In the film, after seeing the kissing scene, many couples couldn't help but kiss, but he didn't get anything. Of course, I didn't know what was going on around me at all! I was absent-minded the whole time.

"Ah, I'm fine, but I got drunk yesterday, and I didn't have a good rest." I also knew it's a bit rude, but..."

"Well, it's uncomfortable to get drunk. Let's go to a dinner, and then you can go back to rest early." Jack Williams seemed very sweet.

We said goodbye after dinner. He wanted to drop me home, but I still had part-time work to do at night. So I lied to him that I would go to a friend's house and refused him.

My part-time job is teaching arts to children. I had been drawing since I was a kid. Although I couldn't draw perfectly, I am still labeled a professional teacher. So it is very easy to teach children. Moreover, this job paid well, and the parents were also polite. The children were so cute. So I was very happy to work there.

In the middle of the night, I returned home and put the earrings in the box, planning to return them to Calvin tomorrow. I already lost the necklace, but I couldn't lose the earrings.

But lying on the bed, I couldn't help taking out the earrings and touching them gently. Suddenly, I had a very absurd idea. If I could sell these earrings, then I wouldn't have to save money for my mother's surgery. The money would be enough for us to spend a few lifetime. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hit myself on the head. Oh my God, how could I have such a bad idea? These earrings are so expensive and had such special meaning. I couldn't even ask for them! I should return it to him tomorrow, and pray that the necklace can be retrieved soon.

The next morning, when I arrived at the company, Andy mysteriously approached my earlobe, "Alexia, can you look at me and tell me if there's a change in me?" I looked at her carefully, but couldn't find any change at all. "I can't see anything."

Andy turned around in front of me. "Don't you think I've become more beautiful and elegant?"

I honestly answered: "No!"

"Annoying!" Andy was very frustrated, but she was still very excited, "I met a college classmate who works at showbiz and asked if I am interested in becoming a star. Of course, I am interested. He asked me to go for an audition in a few days."

"So, are you going to be a star?" I doubted the identity of Andy's classmate, he might be a liar as usual.

"No, I would start on being a model first, and then slowly, I will play TV series to get more experience. Alexia, you are more beautiful than me. Let's go together, and it is very easy to make money as a star. You are short of money now, but after becoming a star, you wouldn't be so poor in the future." Andy planned the future for both of us.

"No, I'm not interested in becoming a star." I shook my head and rejected her, not only because I wasn't interested in being a star, but also because being a star is not that easy. Her classmate might not be a good person. "Don't be too simple, don't sign contracts at will."

Andy immediately understood what I was trying to say. "Don't worry, I am not a kid anymore. I will be careful, and I will also go to his company. I have known him for many years. So he will not harm me."

Today is Monday, and there used to be weekly meetings in the past, but Angel Johnson didn't show up in the office until 9:30, then her secretary asked everyone to stand up and listen to her.
