Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

CH 112

As Alexa saw Cody walk out of the restaurant, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that had taken over her. She turned to Anthony and said, “Can we go somewhere else? It’s too crowded in here.”

Anthony looked at her, noticing the unease in her eyes. “Sure, I know a private place we can go to. Follow me,” he said.

They got up from the table and walked out of the restaurant. Anthony led her to a nearby park that had a small pond and plenty of trees surrounding it. They found a bench and sat down, taking in the peaceful scenery.

“Is this better?” Anthony asked.

Alexa breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes, thank you. I’m sorry, I just got a little uncomfortable in there.”

Anthony reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. “It’s okay, I understand. You don’t have to explain anything to me if you don’t want to.”

Alexa felt a rush of gratitude towards Anthony. He was so kind and understanding, unlike anyone she had ever met before.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

As they sat there, Anthony began to open up to her about his own past struggles. He told her about his upbringing and how he had to work hard to get to where he was today. He also shared with her his fears and doubts about running his business, and how he had to constantly remind himself to keep pushing forward.

Alexa listened intently, amazed at how vulnerable Anthony was willing to be with her. It made her feel closer to him, as if they shared a deeper connection.

After a while, they decided to have lunch. Anthony pulled out a picnic basket from behind the bench and began to unpack it. He had brought along some sandwiches, fruit, and a bottle of wine.

As they ate, they talked about their interests and hobbies. Alexa found out that Anthony loved to read and was passionate about art. He even took her to a nearby art museum and showed her some of his favorite pieces.

The more time Alexa spent with Anthony, the more she realized how much she enjoyed being around him. He was kind, caring, and so unlike any other man she had ever met.

As the afternoon wore on, they finished their lunch and decided to take a walk around the park. They strolled along the pond, taking in the beautiful scenery and enjoying each other’s company.

Anthony and Alexa got back into the car and drove back to the mansion in silence. Alexa was still thinking about the encounter with Cody at the restaurant, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling of uneasiness. Anthony noticed that she was quiet and asked, “Is everything okay, Alexa?”

Alexa shook her head and replied, “Yeah, everything’s fine. I’m just a little tired, I guess.”

Anthony looked at her intently for a moment before saying, “You know, you don’t have to keep everything to yourself. If there’s something bothering you, you can always talk to me about it.”

Alexa smiled weakly and said, “Thanks, Anthony. I appreciate it.”

When they arrived at the mansion, Anthony escorted Alexa inside and offered her a drink. They settled in the living room, and Anthony asked her about her day. Alexa told him about the meeting with the board of directors and how impressed she was with their vision for the company.

Anthony listened attentively, and then he said, “I’m glad you enjoyed the meeting. You’re going to be a great asset to the company, Alexa.”

Alexa smiled and replied, “Thank you, Anthony. I’m really excited about this opportunity.”
