Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Alexa’s Pov

I woke up the next day, ready to start my day as usual. But as I walked into the kitchen, I noticed something strange. The cook and housekeeping staff were packing up their things.

“Good morning,” I said, trying to sound casual. “What’s going on? Are you guys leaving?”

“Yes, we are,” one of the housekeeping staff replied. “We were instructed to take our leave by Mr. Nolan.”

“Nolan?” I repeated, confused. “Why would he tell you guys to leave? And without any notice?”

The cook spoke up this time. “We were just as surprised as you are. But he said it was necessary.”

“But what about Mr. Brown?” I asked. “He’s going to be so angry when he finds out that you guys just left like this.”

“Don’t worry,” another housekeeping staff member said. “We have Mr. Nolan’s words on record. In case Mr. Brown gets angry at us, we have evidence that we were only following orders.”

I was shocked. Nolan, the boss who rarely ever interacted with us, had apparently instructed the staff to leave without any warning. And he had done so in a way that suggested he was afraid of Mr. Brown’s reaction.

I didn’t know what to think. I had always assumed that Mr. Brown was the one who called the shots around here. But now it seemed like there was more going on behind the scenes than I had ever imagined.

As the staff finished packing their things, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. If Nolan was willing to go behind Mr. Brown’s back like this, what else was he capable of?

Later that day, I was approached by Nolan again. He had a serious look on his face as he walked over to me.

“Alexa,” he said. “I need you to stay here tonight. There’s going to be a party and I need you to help with the preparations.”

I was taken aback. “A party? What kind of party?”

Nolan hesitated before answering. “It’s a company event. Nothing too fancy. Just a way for the employees to unwind and socialize.”

I didn’t like the sound of that. Something about Nolan’s tone made me feel like he was hiding something.

“I don’t know,” I said, feeling uneasy. “I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this. I have plans tonight.”

Nolan’s expression hardened. “I’m sorry, Alexa, but you don’t have a choice. You need to stay here and help with the preparations.”

I felt trapped. I didn’t want to disobey Nolan, but something about this party just didn’t feel right.

As the afternoon wore on, I watched as a team of workers brought in party equipment and sound systems. The noise was deafening, and I couldn’t concentrate on my work.

I approached Nolan again. “Please, can we stop this? The noise is too much, and I don’t think this party is a good idea.”

But Nolan just brushed me off. “It’s too late now, Alexa. The party is already planned, and we can’t back out now.”

I didn’t know what to do. I felt like I was being forced into something that I didn’t want to be a part of.

As the evening approached, the noise only got louder. I tried to drown it out by focusing on my work, but it was no use.

Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I marched over to Nolan and confronted him.

“This is ridiculous,” I said, raising my voice over the noise. “I don’t want to be here, and I don’t think this party is a good idea. Please, just stop it.”

Nolan just looked at me coldly. “I’m sorry, Alexa, but we’re going through with this. You’ll just have to deal with the noise.”

I couldn’t believe it. How could he be so callous? I stormed out of the room, feeling angry and frustrated.

As I walked down the hallway, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Why was Nolan so insistent on throwing this party?

Was he doing this because he felt I would get into trouble?

Was he doing this because he wanted me to be on Nr browns bad side?, or was he trying to prove to his father that I wasn’t good at my job.

As the team finished their work, one by one of Nolan’s friends had filled the ground floor of the house down to the backyard. The noise level rose to an unbearable level, and I knew I had to find Nolan.

I walked around the house, trying to find him. As I made my way down to the backyard, I spotted him doing body shots on Kathy by the pool bar. I couldn’t believe it. How could he be so irresponsible?

I stormed towards Nolan, a crowd of party-goers following behind me. As I approached, I could hear some of them booing and jeering.

“What the hell is going on here?” I shouted, my voice rising above the noise.

Nolan looked up at me, a drunken grin on his face. “What’s it look like?” he slurred. “We’re having a good time.”

I felt my anger rising. “This is not a good time, Nolan. You’re endangering the safety of your guests with all this noise and chaos.”

Nolan just rolled his eyes. “Oh, come on, Alexa. Loosen up a bit. It’s just a party.”

I couldn’t believe his arrogance. “Nolan, you need to stop this party right now. We could get in serious trouble.”

Nolan just laughed. “Don’t worry about it, Alexa. I’ve got everything under control.”

I couldn’t take it anymore. “No, Nolan, you don’t. You’re putting people at risk, and I won’t be a part of it.”I vented.

I try to get his attention but he wasn’t ready to look at me. I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Nolan had slipped something into my drink, and I had no idea what it was. As he handed me the drink, he looked at me with a smirk on his face, clearly enjoying himself.

I moved to his side, trying to grab his attention. “What did you put in my drink?” I demanded.

Nolan just shrugged. “It’s just a sweetener. You’re being paranoid, Alexa. Relax and enjoy the party.”

I couldn’t help but not trust him, especially after everything that had happened. So, I took the drink from him and walked away. I knew I couldn’t drink it, but I also couldn’t let him see that I wasn’t drinking it.

I walked into the kitchen, setting down the drink and trying to calm down. I knew I had to be careful, as one wrong move could get me into massive trouble with Anthony. I couldn’t afford to lose my job over this.

But despite my best efforts, I couldn’t calm down. I kept thinking about what Nolan had done, and what could be in the drink. Finally, I glanced over at the drink and decided to take a sip.

A few moments later, my sight started rapidly spinning, and I felt light as a feather. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.

I stumbled towards the door, trying to get out of the kitchen and away from the party. But as I made my way through the crowd, I felt myself getting weaker and weaker.

I turned and saw Nolan staring at me.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Are you ready to party?”he said grinning

I felt my heart skip a beat. I knew I had to be careful around him.
