Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

127

As Alexa walks into the dining room, she sees Kathy arranging boxes of pizza with a young woman she recognizes from BCI. The woman is packing the boxes neatly, ensuring that the toppings are evenly distributed. Alexa approaches them and asks, “Kathy, what are you doing here? I didn’t hear Nolan invite you over.”

Kathy turns around and smiles at Alexa. “Oh, hey, Alexa! The board of directors ordered my family to help the nanny in convincing Nolan to come back. We’re just trying to do our part.”

Alexa nods, understanding the situation. She’s surprised to see another person with Kathy, a man who looks to be around the same age as her. “And who’s this?” she asks, gesturing to the man.

Kathy giggles and takes the man’s hand. “This is my boyfriend, Laurence. He works for my father’s company.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Laurence smiles warmly at Alexa and introduces himself. “Nice to meet you, Alexa. Kathy’s told me a lot about you.”

Alexa greets him politely before turning her attention to the other woman. “And who’s this?” she asks, indicating the woman packing the pizza boxes.

The woman looks up and smiles at Alexa. “Hi, I’m Layla. I’m a friend of Kathy’s from one of the companies Anthony owned.”

Alexa nods, realizing how many people would actually get involved with the fall of Anthony’s empire wealth. “Well, thank you for coming to help. I really appreciate it.”

Kathy smiles. “Of course, anything for Nolan. Do you need any help with the groceries?”

Alexa looks at the bags she’s carrying and nods. “Actually, that would be great. Thanks, Layla, could you give me a hand?”

Layla nods and follows Alexa into the kitchen. As they unpack the groceries, Alexa can’t help but wonder if this is what her life has become – surrounded by people who have a stake in the success of Nolan and BCI. She makes a mental note to be more cautious in the future.

As Alexa parked the car, her mind was racing with questions. Why was Kathy there? Why did the board of directors order her family to help? What was going on? She couldn’t fathom the idea of anyone meddling in Nolan’s life right now. He was fragile, and she didn’t want anyone to interfere with his healing process.

Kathy’s car was also parked outside the mansion, gleaming under the bright sun. It was a sleek, black sedan, the kind that exuded power and sophistication. The car had a polished finish that shone in the sunlight, making it look like a work of art. The body was smooth and aerodynamic, with sharp, angular lines that gave it a sense of speed and agility.

The windows were tinted, so Alexa couldn’t see inside, but she imagined the interior was just as impressive. The wheels were big and bold, with glossy black rims that matched the paint job. The tires looked new and expensive, with deep treads that suggested they were designed for speed and performance.

As Alexa got closer to the car, she noticed that the headlights were on, even though it was broad daylight. The lights were bright and intense, like two burning orbs that seemed to stare straight through her. She couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated by the car, and wondered what kind of person would drive such a powerful machine.

Alexa had one thing in mind, and that was sourcing out want Kathy and her small group were up to, else Nolan was fucked.
