Billionaire’s Great Obsession

She got up immediately and jumped into the shower. As soon as she got ready, she ran downstairs to look for the driver. But the chief maid stopped her. “Good morning, Mrs. Brianna Anderson, your breakfast is ready.”

“Ah, thanks, but I will skip it. I’m late for work.” Brianna said hurriedly.

“It’s Mr. Scott Anderson’s order that you have your breakfast before you go to work.”

Brianna stopped and turned around to stare at the maid, surprised. His order? He cares about me?!

Now that it was Scott’s order, Brianna could only obey. She wolfed down two slices of toast and a glass of milk, then hurried to work.

It was almost eleven when she arrived at the door of the office. Just as she intended to sneak in quietly, she spotted Levi coming towards her.

Awkwardly, she smiled and said, “Good morning, Levi.”

“Mrs. Brianna Anderson, you are an hour and a half late,” Levi said.

“Did Scott ask you…”

“Mr. Scott Anderson said…”

Just then, Jacob suddenly showed up and waved at Brianna. “Hey! Look at you. How flexible your schedule is! It’s eleven o’clock now.” Jacob teased.

Brianna blushed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I promise this is the last time I will ever be late. But, by the way, what brought you here? Don’t you have class today?”

“Class? What are you talking about?” Jacob frowned. “I graduated almost a year ago and have been working as the vice president here at Scott’s company.”

Shocked, Brianna stared at Jacob and exclaimed, “But how old are you?!”

“Twenty. I graduated early because I’m too smart.” Jacob said with a cheeky wink. “I’m the martial art champion, by the way.”

“Impressive!” Brianna put both her thumbs up.

“Thanks,” Jacob said while looking at Brianna up and down. “Did you get home ok the other night?”

“Yeah. I guess. Well, I had a fever last night, but I’m much better now. Thanks for asking.”

“Who looked after you?”

“One of the maids,” Brianna said, though she recalled vaguely that she fell off the bed and saw Scott’s stern face. Surely it wasn’t him that looked after me!NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Aha. I see. Anyway, enjoy your day.” Jacob waved and walked off. Brianna took a guilty look at Levi and hurried to her desk.

Jacob knocked at Scott’s door and went in. The first person he spotted was a short-haired girl in a white T-shirt and denim skirt, looking youthful and pretty.

“Jodie?” Jacob said uncertainty.

Jodie turned around.

“Hey, I didn’t know you work here! Since when?”

“A few days ago.” Jodie put down some files on Scott’s desk, then looked at Jacob suspiciously, “Why are you so surprised?”

“Well, doesn’t it make more sense that you work at Sean’s company instead?”

“And you at your family’s company?” Jodie retorted. “What are you doing here at The Anderson’s Corporation then?”

“Scott and I are best friends since childhood. I like working with him.” Jacob said matter-of-factly.

Scott heaved a sigh and pointed at the door. Jodie got the hint and took the paper that Scott had signed, and walked out of the office.

Displeased, Jacob complained, “Hey, Scott, isn’t she just a new girl at the sales department. How come she’s reporting to you directly?”

“Don’t you remember that Sean had her back? She’s got some big clients and built a great network within just a few days.”

“You seem to think highly of her?” Jacob asked tentatively while watching Scott closely.

Scott was going through some files, and without looking at Jacob, he replied casually, “She’s got great potential. She’s young, but in a couple of years, she will be very successful with some experience.”

Jacob couldn’t help feeling jealous and said, “So you also fancy girls like her? Not just someone who looks like Sol?”

“Nonsense. Now, don’t waste my time. If you fancy her, go get her yourself, I don’t have time for this.” Scott said impatiently.

“She’s like a tomboy. Not my cup of tea at all!” Jacob defended instantly while gazing at the perfect face of Scott, his eyes shone with admiration.

“I actually think you two can be a good match. You are both sporty. She’s boyish, but at the same time, rather delicate and very pretty. You should give it a go.” Scott commented.

Jacob went over and bent down next to Scott, wrapping one arm around his shoulders. “Scott, you haven’t been to our gathering these last few nights. We used to hang out every night. Now that you are married, you’ve forgotten your friends!”

Jacob’s face was so close to Scott that Scott could feel him breathing onto his ear and neck, even his lips, and suddenly he felt it over intimate. He pushed him off him and said, “Don’t you have work to do? Do you mind leaving me alone, please?”

“I’ve finished all my work today. I’m free now.” Jacob went close to Scott again and wrapped his arm around his shoulders. “Come on, Scott. Let’s hang out tonight.”

Scott is seven years older than Jacob, and they had always been good friends since they were little. They would share the same bed and go about town wrapping one’s arm around the other’s shoulder. However, Scott felt that Jacob was being weirdly intimate today for the first time. He also noticed the way Jacob looked at him, or to be exact, his gaze at him.

He turned his eyes off the documents that he was going through and fixed them upon Jacob with a frown. Now Jacob started to feel awkward and removed his arm off Scott. “Scott, why are you looking at me like that?”

“You know what, it looks like you have too much free time. I just have a great idea. With your talent in martial arts and your look, you can be in an action film, something about Kong Fu perhaps, and people will love you. You will probably be the next movie star.”

“No! I don’t want to be a movie star. I just want to work with you!” Jacob exclaimed.
