CHAPTER 40

Book:FLIRTING WITH A BILLIONAIIRE Published:2024-6-2

Ella was annoyed because when her guests entered the house Monique suddenly came. It has already snatched Damian from him, and then it looks like it also has plans to get the attention of Michael and his entire team. Instead of rejoicing because her idol visited her and all her companions were with her, she was shocked by Monique’s behavior. It went back and forth in the living room and brought some snacks, as if Michael and I were starving!
“Please be patient with our new assistant,” Ella raised her voice as she apologized to Michael Ragusta and she knew that Monique didn’t like that she called her assistant.
“It’s okay. This is what I will meet for you, “said the man and handed him a small box.
Ella immediately accepted what Michael had given her and opened up. “Personalized watch? Wow! ” he got up from his seat and hugged the man. “Thank you,” she didn’t feel as happy when she saw the man’s name on the back of the watch and his signature.
“Small thing,” Michael replied.
He was still hugging Michael Ragusta when Damian passed by and he looked at him badly. “Damian!” he called the man and stopped walking. “Come, let me introduce you to my idol.” He said.
Damian approached Ella and baseball player Michael Ragusta. They were about the same height as the man but Damian admitted that the man looked more muscular than him. “Hi. I’m Damian, her brother. ” Damian introduces Ella’s guest.
“Michael Ragusta, her friend.” Michael said, before the two men shook hands.
He would have been happy but when Damian introduced Michael as his brother, his world was twisted again. “Don’t you want to autograph Michael, Damian?” he joked it.
“Maybe later,” Damian said and said he had more to do.
“I thought someone was just teasing me last night,” he told Michael when Damian left.
Michael nodded because he understood the woman. “Ah, that’s why you kept me waiting at your address.”
“Of course, I was hesitant to give it to you. I was scared that you were a member of the house-climbing, eh. ” He confessed to the man and his other teammates laughed when they heard.
“Okay, but really going upstairs?” Michael spoke jokingly.
“Anyway, we won’t be long and thanks for the delicious breakfast. We still have a photo shoot in the man-made forest. ” Michael said goodbye as they left.
“Okay. Then I won’t stop you, but this is really the last. Can I still take a picture? ” He sneezed at the man.
“Sure,” Michael replied.
And in an unexpected event, their picture-taking lasted for almost an hour because most of their assistants also sneezed, as well as Monique, who wanted a picture with each player. Hey, the toying really! When Michael’s group left, Monique carved him and the woman felt they were close. Shameless indeed, the thickness of the face!
“How did it happen that he visited you here at home?” Monique repeatedly asked Ella because she still couldn’t believe that Michael Ragusta’s entire team went home.
“Why should I tell you? Are we close? ” He stared at the woman and then climbed upstairs to upload a picture of him and Michael on his social media.
Ella giggled when she received several comments from her online friends and they were all envious of her good luck. He was busy replying to comments when suddenly there was a user who said nothing good about his idol. His eyes narrowed and the sermon rained down on it. The thickness of its face to insult the best basketball player in the whole country!
The basher did not leave him alone and they exchanged spicy words all day because he could not allow anyone to insult his idol. Because of Michael Ragusta’s basher, he forgot to eat lunch and he also missed snacking. But at seven o’clock in the evening, he voluntarily went down to the kitchen to eat, and he caught up with Damian who also ate quietly.
“Did you just come home from work?” He asked the man because it looked haggard. He thought there might be a problem at the rancho or maybe in the office.
“Yes. Hmmm Ella, I don’t want to repeat what happened earlier that you just accept guests lightly. ” Damian warned the woman.
“Okay,” Ella agreed so that they wouldn’t talk for too long.
“After you eat, go to sleep,” said the man.
“You too, because your face is haggard. You look fifty-years-old, “Ella teased the man and smirked at him.
“Did you and Julius continue to walk before?” Damian changed the subject.
“Nope. Something came up so I couldn’t leave alive. Maybe tomorrow, “he said.
Damian just nodded but he was secretly overwhelmed when he remembered how Ella hugged that ‘basketball’ player! “Instead of wandering around, why don’t you work? There is a vacancy in Finance if you want, “Damian suggested to Ella. He didn’t like the woman getting worse. And at least before, it only paid attention to him, but lately, it was to anyone and he was afraid that the woman might be ruined.
“I decided to enjoy first and then I will work after I give birth,” he said.
“You’re pregnant?”
Ella’s world stopped for a moment when she heard Monique’s voice. They were both surprised by Damian when he suddenly entered the kitchen. “Yes, do you have a problem there?” Ella answered Monique.
Monique’s forehead furrowed as she studied Ella’s expression but she couldn’t read what was in the woman’s brain. “I thought you didn’t have a boyfriend, how did you get pregnant?” He was curious.
Ella laughed at Monique’s question. “Why don’t you ask yourself why another man got you pregnant when you were with Damian?” After saying that he quickly left the kitchen and left the two. He heard Monique shout and call her name but he did not turn around.
Ella picked up her cellphone from the room and then went back to the living room and called Julius. “Where you are now?” He asked this when answering on the other line.
“I’m at the Terminal, but I’m on my way home.” Said Julius. “Why did you call?”
“Just checking if you are free tonight for some coffee,” he told the man even though he was not allowed to have coffee.
“Sure. Where will we meet?” Julius asked.
“Just come here to the house, I’ll text you my address, okay?” Ella said and when the man agreed, she immediately cut the call and texted the man. The terminal was just near their house and he knew Julius had a motorcycle. Ella finds Rebecca and asks the woman to prepare food for her guest.
“Do you have another visitor?” Rebecca asked the girl as she cooked the marinated squid. “Is it just squid or do you want to add something else?”
“Do we still have shrimp? I want a lot of garlic, “said Ella. Even though he only mentioned coffee to Julius, he was sure he hadn’t had dinner yet because it was from duty.
“Who is this guest of yours and you put all your effort?” Rebecca inquired.
“A friend,” Ella replied, as she sliced oranges for the juice mixed in the pitcher.
“Man or woman?” Rebecca scolded the girl because she was worried that Damian might get highblood again. Just this morning Damian could barely hold back and almost punched the basketball player who visited Ella.
“Man of course,” Ella replied.
Rebecca shook her head and refocused on what she had cooked. “Hopefully, Damian will be asleep when your guest arrives.” He says.
“It’s unlikely to happen because it’s still early,” Ella replied. He wanted to talk to Rebecca but he received a text from Julius saying that it was outside. “He’s here,” he said goodbye to the old man and ran out of the house.
“You’re rich,” Julius said as he got inside.
“Not me, but my brother is.” He said that Damian was really the really rich and he wasn’t. “You haven’t had dinner yet? Let’s go to the kitchen and I will prepare food, ‘he said to the man and entered the house first.
“It’s embarrassing for you,” Julius said and he was overwhelmed by the size of Ella’s house.
He turned to the man and smiled at him. “Hey, what are friends for?” When Julius smiled as well, his handsomeness came out. He no longer wondered why Monique had fallen for Julius’s charms. It’s actually more handsome than Damian. “Rebecca, here we are.” He called the old man as they entered the kitchen, but he didn’t expect Damian to be there and taste the squid he had prepared for Julius. “Julius, my brother.” He said to Julius and introduced Damian.
“Good evening sir,” Julius greeted the man in a formal tone and Ella grinned behind him.
“You’re Julius,” Damian replied.
“Yes,” Julius said.
“Julius, sit down and let’s just ignore my brother. He’s a bit grumpy all the time, you know when a person gets older. ” Ella said jokingly but she didn’t expect Damian’s reaction. Suddenly it stood up and left without saying goodbye. He just shrugged as his gaze followed it.
“Just ignore him,” Ella said and sat down to accompany Julius while eating.
They were talking happily when Monique’s face suddenly appeared at the door. Julius turned around so the woman didn’t recognize him right away. Ella waited for the woman to approach and she smiled when she saw him walking towards them. “Join us,” he invited Monique and gave a plastic smile to the woman.
Monique sat down next to Ella but when she met Ella’s visitor, her eyes glazed over. “What are you doing here?” He asked the man.
“How about you? Why are you here? ” Julius answered the question.
While Ella just quietly watched the two and secretly smiled as she succeeded in her plan to let Monique know that she and Julius would meet and she didn’t care if Julius would offend her because she used it for a while.
