Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

It was evening and Nolan and Kathy cane out of Nolan’s room. They both looked like they had a fight as they weren’t smiling, neither were they holding hands.

I took my gaze away from them, and I could feel that Kathy’s eyes were fixed on me as she came downstairs. I watched as Nolan went over to the dining to join his father.

“I’m about to leave.” Kathy smiled.

“Why don’t you join us for dinner, Kathy?” Anthony asked.

“Oh! If you do not mind, I will join you.” Kathy said as she drew out a chair and then sat down to join them in eating.

ALEXA’S POV

I watched from behind, with a staff, as the trio were eating like a family. They looked so bright together, and if one were to take a picture of them and show them to another, they would think they were family.

Although, soon, they could become family as Kathy was Nolan’s girlfriend. It was possible he proposes to her and, of course, she was going to accept.

“Alexa.” Kathy called out.

I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on Kathy, who called me. It seemed like she was up to something, and I hoped I wasn’t going to fall for it.

“Why aren’t you joining us for dinner? Should you be standing over there just like that?” Kathy said.

Her question seemed harmless, but I still had to watch out for any that might sweep me off my feet.

“Kathy is a staff here, and she is only doing what is right by showing proper etiquette towards you as a guest, Kathy.” Anthony said.

I felt relieved as Anthony gave her an answer, and a perfect one at that. I looked at Nolan, he wasn’t looking at me this time. Neither was he saying anything even when his father and Kathy were talking. He was just silent all through while eating.

Then Kathy breaks the silence and bursts out.

“Why is Alexa the most favored staff in this house? It’s not meant to be this way.” Kathy said.

“What do you mean by that?” Anthony asked.

ALEXA’S POV

My heart began to thump loudly, and I felt sweat beads on my body which my clothes covered. What stint was Kathy trying to pull? What was she going to say? She must be transferring aggression to me, seeing that her and Nolan looked like they had a fight, and they were not even talking in the dining.

Who let this devilish girl in? I wished they had not let her in, as I did not know what bomb she was planning to throw this time.

“What if Kathy is not who you think she is? What if she’s just pretending to be an excellent staff to see favor in your sight and then when you least expect it, she would betray you and Nolan.” Kathy said.

“How could this be?” Anthony asked.

“I know you ate very kind, generous and accommodating. What if she’s using it against you? I don’t seem to trust her and most times, my guts are always true.” Kathy said.

ALEXA’S POV

My heart was beating fast and loud that it felt as if it was going to come out of my chest. It had taken over my speech, as I couldn’t find words to say. If I were to speak right now, I would be stammering and that’s surely going to cause suspicions.

Does Kathy know me and my sole reason for entering this house? Because all her allegations seemed like she knows me. I stayed quiet, so I won’t say something that would give me away. I was hoping that my secret would not be found out today or anytime soon, especially because of Kathy.

“You know, people like this who put on a good girly mask always turn out to be the bad one. Don’t you think so? Try to think about it from my perspective.” Kathy said.

Kathy seemed like she was desperately trying to frame me or make me look suspicious, but Anthony didn’t seem convinced, neither did Nolan seem bothered about it. I was glad that Kathy was joy winning.

“What makes you think Kathy is, as you mentioned? Have you ever seen her act besides the way she acts over here?” Anthony asked.

“I know it within me. She’s surely not what you think she is.” Kathy said.

“Kathy, I think you’re just jealous and it’s fine. We happen to get jealous over some things at times.” Anthony said.

“Of course not. Why would I be jealous? I can’t be jealous because of Alexa.” Kathy said.

Of course, Kathy must be feeling jealous and that is why she is trying to kick me out with assumptions that would shake the trust that both Nolan and Anthony have for me. Why would she, out of nowhere, say countless things against me if it is not jealousy?

“Kathy, just admit it, you’re jealous, and I have told you it’s normal but isn’t healthy for us. You have to always try your very best to avoid jealousy.” Anthony said.

“To be honest, I am not jealous. I am just stating facts, you should at least try and see if I am correct.” Kathy said.

“For goodness sake, stop trying to deny who you clearly are.” Nolan slammed his wrist on the table.

“I am your boyfriend and I have experienced scenarios caused by your jealousy. So, I can detect when you’re jealous.” Nolan said.

“Of course not, Nolan. You’re getting it wrong. If I see you both drowning or going down the wrong path, I would surely have to stop or inform you. I won’t surely keep it to myself.” Kathy said.

“Enough! You keep denying even when you are caught red-handed. Come on, just admit that you are jealous. It doesn’t harm you if you admit to it.” Nolan said.

Kathy stared at him in shock.
