MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 17. I Know You



Skyler just stepped out of Edna’s office, she brought out her phone and began calling Alvin.

After a ring, he picked.

“Hey Miss Skyler, What’s up?” His voice sounded from the other end.

“I’m done in Edna’s company, can you come pick me up?” Skyler replied as she came down from the elevator.

“Okay some minutes” Alvin replied before he hung up.

Skyler stepped out of Jiggy and almost immediately a car stopped in front of her. Alvin’s call came again.

She switched her lips and placed it on her ears.

“Your ride is here” After that, he hung up.

Skyler looked confused but she got over it and stared at the ash-colored car in front of her.

“So fast,” she muttered before moving forward.

The door of the car opened and a strong leg covered with black jeans stepped down followed by a stoic face and a hefty man putting on glasses.

He looked at a picture before looking at Skyler’s face.

“Are you Miss Skyler Delgado?” He asked, his voice sounded like he swallowed a loud mic.

“Yes,” Skyler looked unsure as she stared at him from head to toe. He was not Alvin so who was he?

“I’m your new bodyguard, you can call me Trent” he replied to her question as if he knew what she was thinking and Skyler almost rolled her eyes.

She thought she told Mason not to bother getting her a bodyguard, even if he wanted to then why was he so fast in doing so?

“Mason told me about you” she muttered.

“I’m glad ma’am, I promise to protect and stay by your side every time even if it means risking my own life” he replied before going to open the door for her to get in.

‘He did not just call me ma’am’ Skyler said inwardly as she entered the car.

He closed it and went to the driver’s seat then began driving. Skyler’s phone beeped and her eyes widened with what she saw.

Edna just sent her money for the materials for doing the dress and if Skyler was not wrong then it can cost her and her mom’s house and expenses for more than five years.

‘Just the way rich spends’ She rolled her eyes before facing Trent.

“Uhm.. can you please drive me to the local cloth markets? I want to get something” she said and he nodded before taking a U-turn.

LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★

People were seated in the audience chairs and chanting James’ name as he was swimming.

“Why is James always cool?” Simon thought foolishly. He could already see the image of James pinning him to a wall and leaning close to kiss him.

“Wipe your imaginations off, James is into hot guys like me” Fred kissed the muscles he didn’t have before staring at Simon again.

“Not into nerd guys with glasses” he eyed him.

Simon gasped and faced Fred.

“I’m not a nerd, I just happen to put on glasses which makes me look sexy” he tried using his hands to arrange his hair backwards but there was nothing to arrange because his hair was gelled together.

“You just happen to wear glasses, then explain this hairstyle!” Fred pointed at his hair.

“And the way you knot your tie, oh and explain why I saw you reading in your toilet on Sunday afternoon” Fred added and Simon gasped.

Carson was sitting in their middle with a frown on his face. He was wondering where he got these people from and called them his friends.

“When did the both of you resume crushing on James? I thought you were all over Gracie this morning?” He said.

“It’s not our fault that James is so hot” Simon replied and Carson looked ahead to see James arranging his wet hair backward as he just won the first lap.

He scoffed and looked elsewhere.

“Even my poop is hotter than him” he muttered then his eyes caught Gracie sitting alone and pressing his phone and a smile appeared on his face.

“A minute guys, I have an assignment to do” he dipped his hands in his pocket then brought out a tiny mouth of perfume and sprayed it in his mouth.

He stood up and excused himself before coming to sit beside her.

“Gracie?” He called and she looked from her phone to him.

“Hi,” she smiled at him then arranged her hair backwards.

“I don’t know if you remembered my face but I came to your cousin’s house.. my name is Carson” he tried to remind her.

Her eyes widened a bit and she nodded.

“I remembered, my cousin’s new boyfriend, how are you doing?” She replied and Carson’s eyes widened.

“No… no no, I’m not..” he was trying to explain when a muscular guy dressed in all black came to sit beside her.

“Princess’ ‘ he wrapped her arms around her shoulders and she turned to him, next thing she slammed his lips against his and they began kissing each other.

Carson blinked twice and shook his head as he stared. Gracie pulled away from the guy and stared at him.

“Sorry, this is my boyfriend Ryan and Ryan this is my cousin’s boyfriend Carson ” she introduced them to each other.

Boyfriend? Carson looked shocked.

“Sup!” Ryan nodded at Carson who only forced a smile and nodded his head at him.

“Boss” Alvin stepped inside the office and Mason looked up from the files he was going through.

“Hudson is waiting outside, should I allow him to come in?” Alvin asked.

“Sure” Mason nodded and Alvin stepped out, a few minutes later Hudson stepped in.

He was dressed in a corporate jacket, a t-shirt, jeans, and canvas. As he stepped in, he took the chair opposite Mason.

“Who gave you the permission to sit?” Mason looked at him with a frown.

“But you understand, we are family” Hudson smiled but when he noticed Mason wasn’t smiling back, he immediately stood up.

Mason arranged the file he was holding and dropped it to one side then faced Hudson.

“So what are you here for?” He gave him a blank look.

“What do you mean bro? You know why” Hudson laughed nervously.

“I don’t know why” Mason shook her head.

“Grandpa said you should give me a good position once you get into the company, come on don’t pretend!” Hudson frowned at him.

Mason sighed and stared at him.

“So which position do you want?” Mason then asked.

A smile appeared back on Hudson’s face before he began talking.

“I want to handle the general manager of the cloth development factory” he shines his teeth.

“General manager of the clothes development factory” Mason muttered in a way that only he could hear before nodding his head.

He began searching for something under his desk and when he did, he passed the file to Hudson.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“So fast?” Hudson smiled and began opening the file. His smile turned to a frown and he pointed at Mason with widened eyes.

“What the hell is this? Me? A driver? Come on” he looked like he had given up.

“Isn’t that the way you dressed? Even if I have a driver then he would dress better than you” Mason shrugged.

“You’re unbelievable! Grandpa would hear of this!” Hudson squeezed the file in his hands and angrily walked out of the office.

Mason didn’t even look remorseful as he checked his wristwatch before he stood up. Alvin also entered the office with his book.

“Boss it’s time for your meeting with..”

“I know” Mason strolled past him.

Alvin only dropped his hands down in defeat before following him from behind.

LOCAL CLOTH MARKET★

The car stopped, Skyler was about to come down but Trent was fast enough to come down and open the door for her.

She sighed and stepped down.

“You can wait here, I’ll just go get some materials I will be needing,” Skyler told him but he didn’t reply to her.

She took it as a yes and began going in but on hearing the footsteps behind her, she turned back to see Trent following her.

He stopped walking the moment he stopped walking.

“I told you not to follow me” Skyler glared at him.

“It’s my job to ensure that you’re always safe” he simply replied and Skyler felt speechless for a minute as she stared at him.

“Dude, it’s just clothes materials nothing can happen to me” Skyler glared at him.

“Boss paid me to look after you and I will do just that” he replied.

Skyler knew there was no need to argue with him so she just sighed and nodded.

“Fine, let’s go… Watch over me it’s cool” She forced a smile on her face and began walking forward.

Trent followed her.

A few minutes later, Skyler was holding some blue clothes fibers, she was pricing some designs when someone stood behind her.

The person kept looking at her face and she looked to see a not too familiar guy or maybe he was a bit familiar.

“I know you, you’re Skyler,” he said and Skyler narrowed her eyes.
