Blind Billionaire Bride

CHICAGO, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

AT LINT CORPORATION

Ma’am Elise alighted from the taxi and looked up at massive outer part of Lint Corporation. Two armed men dressed in uniforms stood at the huge glass door leading into Lint Corporation. “Wow! Such an enormous building.

“The employees in here must be so lucky to work here. And where is the person sent to bring to bring me to Mr Ian?” Ma’am Elise mumbled to herself as she waited for some seconds as she glance down at her phone to put a call through to the man who requested for her presence.

A handsome looking man emerged from the entrance and looked around. Ma’am Elise noticed him. “Is he looking for me?” She pondered until their eyes met. “I guess so.” She met him halfway.

“Are.. are you the one mr Ian sent to bring me to his office?” Ma’am Elise asked.

“Yes. And you must be ma’am Elise.” Ramsey flashed her a friendly smile.

“Oh yes! I am Ma’am Elise and you are -” She waited for him to fill in his name.

“Ramsey.” He replied.

“It is nice to meet you.” Ma’am Elise smiled.

“Same here. Please this way.” Ramsey smiled brightly.

The armed men opened the glass door and they walked into LINT Corporation. “Wow!” Ma’am Elise gasped out in amazement. She has never been here and seeing a building as big and beautiful as Lint Corp amazed her. “So damn massive! No wonder it is the best in the country.” She said within.

Some workers greeted Ramsey on the way until they got to an office where a young woman sat at a huge desk. Ramsey winked at Grace before he stopped to open another door.

“Go in ma’am.” Ramsey gestured to her.

“Thank you.” Ma’am Elise nodded and stepped into the large office.

In the office, Ian sat at the desk and then Cassidy was on a big couch. “Why is she here?” Ma’am Elise mused.

“Welcome. Please take a seat, ma’am Elise.” Ian gestured to her to sit on the couch.

Ma’am Elise couldn’t stop looking around, taking in the beauty of the office until her gaze fell on the glassy object on the desk. “IAN BRYANT, CEO OF LINT CORP” She gasped in shock and surprise as she look back at Ian who was now standing up from behind the huge desk.

“He is the chief executive office for the best company in the United States of America!” Unbelievable!” Ma’am Elise knew he was rich but she didn’t expect that he was extremely wealthy. “Why didn’t I realize that he might be the chief executive officer when he had said he works in Lint Corp?!” She bantered within herself.

Recently, Ian Bryant has just been listed in Forbes in top 30 young CEOs to have a fortune worth millions of dollars and it made him one of the richest successful men in business. Ian stood up from his desk, walked around it to sit on the couch and ma’am Elise repositioned herself.

“Mr Ian, I didn’t know you are the chief executive officer of Lint Corporation.” Ma’am Elise couldn’t hide the fact that she was taken aback by his position.

Ian itched the back of his neck. “Yes I am the chief executive officer. And I am sorry for not telling you about it before you-”

Ma’am Elise interrupted him. Telling her about his position might have looked like he was trying to show off. “No.. no you don’t have to be sorry.. I mean it is okay.” She let in a handful of breathe to fill her lungs.

“How are you doing, ma’am Elise?” Ian asked.

“I am fine.” She replied.

“What about Ria?”

Ma’am Elise met Ian’s gaze when he asked in a concerned tone. “Miss Ria is fine.”

Ian clasped his hands together. “Is she home alone or the kids are with her?” He asked again.

“The kids are in school and yes miss Ria is alone at home. But I was at home with her before you called me.” Ma’am Elise responded.

“Will she be fine alone?” Ian demanded.

“Yes she is always at home alone anytime I am at work or at the store buying materials while the kids are always with her during weekends.” Ma’am Elise replied.

They lapsed in silence while Ian got lost in thought about Ria. He wondered how Ria would help herself out if she needed anything. “Why is he so concerned about her? Wait, the CEO of Lint corporation wants to make a dress for his niece from us! This is a huge honor to sew for the rich! But I don’t see any nine years old kid around.” Ma’am Elise thought.

Ian cleared his throat jolting her out of thought. A phone beeped and the three of them in the room exchanged glances. It was ma’am Elise’s phone. “Sorry.. it.. is mine.” She searched her bag and took out the phone. Ria was calling with the home line.

“Hello Miss Ria.” She looked at Ian who seems interested at the mention of her name.

“Mrs Elise, are you on your way home now?” Ria asked.

“No.. no Miss Ria.. I just got to Lint Corp now.” Ma’am Elise whispered as she looked away from Ian.

“Have you met him? I mean.. Mr Ian?” Ria questioned.

Ma’am Elise looked up at him. “Oh yes.. he is here with me.” She mumbled.

“Okay.” Ria sighed.

“Do you need anything?”

“Yes.. I can’t find the linens you brought in yesterday.” Ria answered.

“Linen?” Ma’am Elise repeated and she tried to remember where she had placed the nylon last night.

“Yes the linens.. I want to sew Calista dress but I can’t find it.” Ria grumbled.

“Are you done with your eyes exercises?”

“Yes.” Ria hummed.

“Okay. Miss Ria, I am just trying to recall where I dropped it last night. Oh Yes! Yes! It is on the pressing table!” Ma’am Elise said in an unusually raised tone.

“The pressing table.” Ria said.

“Yes.. and I am sorry for not placing it in the right place.” Ma’am Elise apologized.

“It is okay ma’am Elise. Thank you.” Ria replied.

“Take care.” She tried to disconnect the call.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Wait! Ma’am Elsie -”

“Yes.”

“I don’t know if you have enough money with you…” Ria paused.

“Is there anything you need?” Ma’am Elise asked.

“I just need you to help me drop by at the restaurant to buy cupcakes for the children. Phoenix told me his cravings last night.” Ria answered.

“Yes I will buy it. Do you want the big size?”

“No.. no the six in one pack is better.” Ria stuttered. Although she was still wondering why Ian had asked Ma’am Elise to see him. To get a dress? Yes, he said so. But it doesn’t sit well with her though.

“Okay.”

“And a bowl of ice cream.” Ria added.

“I will get everything.”

“Thank you, ma’am Elise!” Ria disconnected the call.

The first eyes she met after dropping her phone was Ian’s, it looked like he would have loved to at least speak to her. “I am so sorry… for keeping you waiting.” Ma’am Elise said in an apologetic tone.

“No.. no it is okay.” Ian replied.

“So where is the little girl you want to make a dress for? I brought some of our collections and I am sure you will like all of it.” Ma’am Elise smiled.

“Actually, ma’am Elise I won’t be the one picking out the dress but I called her mom who is my sister to let her know about your workplace. So don’t worry they will come over to your place.” Ian responded as he shared a look with Cassidy. She is the brain behind this whole new plan.

“O.. okay.” Ma’am Elise nodded slowly with a confused look on her expression. Seriously she wasn’t expecting such a response. “Why did he called me to his office when the girl in question isn’t present?” She mused.

Cassidy urged him to go ahead to the next phase of the plan. “Ma’am Elise, remember I said we have to discuss business…” He paused.

“Oh! Yes I remember.” Ma’am Elise faked a smile.

Ian cleared his throat. “So firstly I just want to ask some few questions about Ria.” He said.

“Pardon?” Ma’am Elise raised an eyebrow.

“Ma’am Elise, you don’t have to panic or get mad at this moment. Mr Ian just wants to help Miss Ria.” Cassidy spoke up for the first time.

“And what do you mean by he wants to help? How?” She questioned frantically.

“Look ma’am Elise, I don’t know how to tell you about this but -” Ian stopped.

Well Ma’am Elise hopes that Ian’s expression is what it means to her. He continued. “I’ll be very honest with you, ever since I set my eyes on Ria at the park, I haven’t been at rest at all. Thank God I met her again and also thanks to you for giving me her card.”

Well to be sincere, Ma’am Elise didn’t give out Ria’s card for Ian just make a dress but it was for him to get closer to her since she noticed that he was interested in her. She had seen how concerned Ian was and how happy he was when Miss Ria was talking to Phoenix. He had looked at her differently, like he felt something for her.
