The Four Women Around Me

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Tina Lian was standing in front of the presidential suite, looking tensed than ever.

Her mind darted to the thought of Jason Lian in the hospital. If she didn't get into the suite, she wouldn't get the money and her beloved brother would die.

Although she had a lot of hesitation, she took a deep breath after a while and opened the door.

The interior was dark. Light came through the hallway.

She still couldn't believe how in the world a mother could be so heartless to sacrifice her daughter to save her son and family.

"Miss Lian, please come in!" After signing the contract, Nathan Qiao, the assistant to the president of the Xiang Group, was waiting for Tina Lian in the suite.

Tina Lian observed the assistant carefully, who was operating the phone in his hand. Maybe he was transferring the money to her mother's account since she was already here. He gave her a quick glance before sending a text to the CEO to report the situation.

"Is it you?" Tina Lian knew she shouldn't have asked that, but she couldn't help it.

It took her a lot of courage to take this step and come here. If she didn't even know who the man she was going to sleep with was, it would be worse than death for her.

"No." There was no need to explain anything to her. So, he reached for her hand, grabbed it and pulled her further into the suite.

He might look slim, but his strength was not by any means little. Leaving her confused and flabbergasted, he walked out of the suite and closed the door behind him. All of it happened so quickly that she barely got any time to react.

The door closed with a soft thud and locked itself. A moment later when she came back to senses, Tina Lian quickly went to the door and tried to open it, but to no avail. She couldn't believe that he had locked her in the dark room.

"Why did you lock me here? Hello? Anyone listening to me?" It didn't matter if the CEO was rich and powerful, he just couldn't do this to her. She couldn't do this anymore.

But there was no answer from the other side. All she heard was a terrible silence surrounding her. She slammed on the door frame countless of times, but it was useless.

"Bastard! Don't leave!" As the room was already dark, the minimum light that was coming through the hallway was blocked once the door got closed.

"Since you're here now, why don't you just sit quietly, take your time and think about tonight?" Nathan Qiao muttered to himself not caring what she said. Then he disappeared from the spot with a satisfied smile on his face.

He had been searching for a girl who his boss might be interested in. It had been a long time now.

Although he didn't know if his boss would like Tina Lian, he had to take the shot.

Without a room card, she couldn't go out of the room, and there was no other password to crack it.

After a while, she got tired of banging on the door numerous time.

She collapsed on the floor, pulling her knees closer to her chest and leaned on the door hopelessly as a whimper left her. "Jason, your sister is useless." She just wanted to escape from here, but she couldn't.

Meanwhile, Eric Xiang, the CEO of the Xiang Group, had been drinking in the club till eleven o'clock.

He was still sober even after drinking so much.

After having another round of drinks, his bodyguards escorted him to the elevator. They reached the presidential suite and Eric Xiang motioned for the bodyguards to open the door. A bodyguard took out the card and swiped it before Eric Xiang stepped forward and pushed the door. But it didn't open.
