Billionaire’s Great Obsession

They arrived at one of the best high-end restaurants in town. Chris was looking out of the window, enjoying the view while waiting. He heard the door open and Brianna’s footsteps. Without turning around, he said quietly, “I’m glad you made it here.”

“Mr. Butler, why did you pay for my Mom’s treatment? I don’t want to be in debt to you or anyone.”

“You are not. I have my own intentions.” He replied without giving her any further explanation.

“What do you mean?” Puzzled, Brianna asked him again.

Chris looked at her, smiled, and said, “No worries. I just want to see you and buy you lunch.”

“I have no appetite.” She refused his offer.

“Ah. It’s alright. I do. Two more people are coming, by the way.”

“Who?” Brianna snapped.

“Take a seat. You will find out soon.” Chris stood up, pulled out a chair for Brianna, and gestured to her to sit down.

Brianna felt more worried, but knowing that there was no way she could leave without Chris’ consent, she obeyed.

“Did you finish the books I gave you?” Chris asked casually.

“Yes, I did. They are very helpful and inspiring. Thank you.”

“I really like your talent and creativity. Why don’t you join us? I can offer you all the changes you need to become successful.”

“Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Butler, but I’m afraid I’m not as ambitious as you think I am. I’m happy with my job now.”

“It looks like you still can’t let him go. He’s never treated you as his wife, and now the girl he truly loves is back. Will you still be with him? As a mistress?”

“That’s between him and me, Mr. Butler. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, or lovers, we…” Brianna was about to say that they could still be friends and she could work for The Anderson Corporation as a designer, but then she recalled how Sol deliberately twisted her ankle and looked at her with a victorious smile, and she understood that Sol would not allow her to stay anywhere near Scott at all.

Once they divorced, she would have to leave the company and look for a new job. She went quiet.

Chris seemed to understand what Brianna was thinking. He smiled and said, “Scott Anderson loves someone else. He can’t be your husband, but I can.”

Shocked, Brianna stared at him. “What?!”

“My Coraline is gone, and it doesn’t really matter who I marry anyway. I can marry you, give you the best support for your career and protect you and your mother.”

“But why?”

“Because you look like Coraline. Isn’t that a good enough reason?”

“There are other girls that look like her. Why are you being so nice to me?”

Chris smiled. “Give it a think. You won’t be with him for long anyway. Why not leave him now and come to me?”

“Ha-ha…” The door opened, and Scott walked in with a mocking laugh.

Brianna turned around immediately to see Scott coming towards them, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding Sol. He smiled at them icily. Brianna bit her lips and quickly looked away. She stood up, ready to leave.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“You are not leaving just as I’ve arrived, are you? Why? Are you feeling guilty about anything? That’s a great offer he is giving you. Are you tempted?” Scott said with a sneer.

Chris smiled and said casually, “Shouldn’t she be? She’s now abandoned by her husband, who’s with his real love. It’s understandable that she should think about her future.”

“She’s still my wife, Mr. Butler. You are in too much of a hurry to seduce my wife. What’s your intention?” Scott’s voice rang with a mocking tone.

“Simply because she looks like the girl I love. Same as your initial intention, Mr. Anderson.”

“Aha, I’m afraid you can’t have her because she’s mine.”

“Is she? Do you really see her as your wife?”

“Whether I do or not, she knows very well. Brianna, come over here.”

Brianna remained seated.

Scott pulled a long face. Damn it! How dare she! If she thinks Chris has her back now and she can do whatever she pleases, she’s too naïve!

“Come over here!” Scott demanded.

“Why? You are with someone else now. Don’t you think there isn’t space for me?” Brianna said clearly. Sol was shocked by Brianna’s reaction. She thought Brianna would obey and do as Scott said. Doesn’t she want to stay with Scott? Surely she knows that no one ever dares to displease Scott.

Brianna saw the surprise in Sol’s stare, but she didn’t care. I’m just a joke to them anyway. She thought. However, they think of me…

“Mr. Anderson, no two are exactly the same. Sol Keaton and Brianna aren’t. One has paler skin and almond eyes, while the other darker skin and more rounded eyes. They aren’t of the same height either. Their personality is surely very different, which I’m sure you have realized. If you do love Sol or her type, then Brianna isn’t your cup of tea at all.” Chris said.

Brianna was rather impressed by how observant Chris was. They had only met a few times, and he had noticed the differences between her and Sol.

“It’s none of your business, whoever I love.” Scott snapped. He beckoned Brianna over, and normally Brianna could go to him straight away, but this time, she hesitated. “Mr. Anderson, I can’t be with you.”

Scott glared at her. “Don’t you disobey!” Angrily, he marched forward and grabbed her wrist, intending to drag her away. Chris took Brianna’s other hand instantly. Scott pulled Brianna over, and she stumbled into his embrace, at the same time, Scott threw a fist to meet Chris’.

They exchanged a look, both surprised to know that they were at a similar level. Sol was so frightened that she stepped backward. Brianna wanted to escape, but Scott held her wrist tight, and she could only stay by him.

Her heart was racing, worried that Scott or herself would get punched. No! Why should I worry about him?! Brianna thought.
