Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

As a result, he would find Jane in his apartment, scantily dressed or not even dressed at all, trying to seduce him, but he wasn’t interested in her and ignored her everytime.

There’s was a time when she had tried to drug him, but his willpower was stronger than that. Damn, she was so desperate.

His grandfather was a headstrong, adamant and unrepentant man. He must have gotten those genes from his grandfather.

Jared finally stood up and Will released the breath he was holding. Jared shut down his computer.

“Where are we headed?” Jared questioned.

“Perhaps, a bar”

“Perhaps?”

“A bar” Will quickly asserted, afraid he would change his mind.

“Did you dismiss her?”

Will raise a brow, confused. It was when Jared turned to him then it clicked.

“Oh, yes. I did. With immediate effect” He was referring to the secretary who tried to seduce Jared and had accidentally poured coffee on him. Now, he had to start looking for someone else to fill the position.

Will got into the car after Jared and started the ignition. He drove towards the nearest bar, as he could not drive a long distance in the rain.

He was just a few steps away from the bar when he almost hit someone. A woman, specifically, in a red dress. He honked angrily. She was walking in the middle of the road. He poked his head out, through the window.

“Get out of my way, woman. If you want to die, do it somewhere else and not in front of this car” he yelled.

She continued to walk so slowly that he got frustrated and alighted the car, to confront her.

“Are you crazy? What is-” He stopped when he saw her face.

“Miss Gardner, what are you doing in the rain?” She looked him dead in the eye, then ignore him as she walked towards her destination.

“Who was that?” Jared asked as soon as Will returned.

“It was that woman earlier, at the mall. The attendant”

Jared kept silent, looking contemplative.

They were met with a blast of loud music as they entered. He looked around for the object of his curiosity and finally found her. She was seated before the bartender, drinking in large gulps.

“I’ll go sit next to her” Jared shouted, trying to make his voice heard, above the ear-splitting sound.

“What did you say?”

Jared pulled Will closer and said directly in his ear.

“I’ll go sit next to her” He pushed Will away and left without waiting for his response.

Silently, he occupied the seat beside her. She drank a whole glass before going for another one.

“You know” She said to the bartender. “Men are the worst creatures ever. Dogs are way better than they are” she was getting drunk. “After-” she hiccuped. “After 3 years. Devoting my love to no one but him, now, he wants a break-up. Is that pathetic? Am I not pathetic?”

‘Oh. So, it was a break-up’ thought Jared.

“Perhaps, you should leave. You are drunk, ma’am”

“You!” She pointed her index finger at him. “How dare you do this to me. I will make you pay” Without warning, she raised her glass and threw it in his direction.

Luckily, he avoided it just in time.

Her phone rang. Bestie was displayed on the screen. The bartender quickly accepted the call.

“Where are you?” Sandy asked.

“Hello ma’am, your friend here is drunk and needs to be taken home”

“You are the drunk one, you bastard” She slurred. Jared watched on, wondering how someone could be so cute.

The man gave Sandy the address and hung up.

Valerie continued to curse at him as he moved far away from her.

She turned her head in Jared’s direction.

“Huh! I know you” she squinted, trying to remember. She brought her face closer to his till they were just an inch apart. She cocked her head, thoughtfully, unaware of the effect she was having on Jared.

“I’m sure I’ve seen you before” she pouted. “Can you dance?” She asked, all of a sudden.

“Huh? I-”

Without waiting any further, she grabbed his hand and led him to the dance floor.

She danced wildly as Jared stood there, like a statue.

Sandy and Layla entered the bar and looked around. They went to the bar tender and ask him her whereabouts.

“She went to the dance floor with a man” he replied.

They headed there, constantly shoved by intoxicated men and women. They finally saw her, dancing crazily before a man. They ran towards her and held her.

“Let go of me. Who are you?” Valerie looked up and realized they were her friends.

“Oh! It’s Sandy. You’re here too” she said to Layla.

“I apologize on her behalf, sir” Sandy pleaded.

“It’s okay” Jared replied and watched as they dragged her out of the place.

“What are you doing in a place like this” Sandy slapped Valerie’s butt repeatedly.

“Ow! Ow! It hurts” She whined.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Layla hailed a taxi and they entered. That was the last thing Valerie knew before passing out.

************

The headache was splitting. She struggled to open her eyes and looked around. Valerie wondered how she returned to her room.

Layla suddenly burst in, looking at her like she could kill her any minute. Valerie secretly wondered what she did.

The last thing she remembered was entering a bar, the rest of it was a total blank.
