The Billionaire Secret Admirer

As she was talking I saw Mr Ohio coming out with the same lady, I wanted to introduce him to Jojo before but seeing the lady makes me quiet. I looked at him and found out that he was staring at me as he walks down with the beautiful lady with a good shape.

I swallowed hard and looked away.

“Hello Becca, how are you doing today?

He greeted me. I looked up and respond to the greeting even the lady also said “Hi” to me and Jojo. She looks friendly.

Before I could say anything else, Jojo stood up and extend her hands to him in greeting. She introduce herself as my one and only friend and just stopped by to check up on me. She even mentioned that she likes the man’s perfume and she totally ignored the lady standing beside Mr Ohio. The man took her hand and shake her with a smile, he said it was nice meeting her. He later looked over at me with same smile before walking away with the beautiful lady.

Jojo was very happy and kissed the hand that the man shakes dramatically.

I marveled at Jojo’s boldness and she even said she will start visiting me more often and may even drives down to pick me from work some days just to meet Mr Ohio.

I laughed at her seriousness before going back to my fruit salad.

I wonder why Mr Ohio makes me feel so uncomfortable with his look and whenever we ran into each other he makes my heart beat faster than usual. I likes him but Jojo is already falling for him.

I don’t know what to make out of it but Jojo is the type that goes for whoever she wants until she gets it.

I can’t ask her to stop coming to my work place, she may feel I’m trying to stop her from her new catch who is not even interested in her.

I wonder what her “sugar” will eventually do if Jojo breaks off the engagement because of Mr Ohio whom I’m beginning to think off even as I lay on my bed.

With Jojo’s constant visit to the office I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. I don’t want any trouble from my boss or anyone because of Jojo.

My work place is not my house where she can come and go at any time. My boss may even sanction me concerning that because he has seen Jojo more than twice with me during lunch time and also closing time.

Jojo was not having time for her sugar who kept calling her but she will not pick his call all because of Mr Ohio. She will even switch off her phone whenever her sugar starts calling.

I felt bad for the guy, Jojo was playing him and it was not fair. He deserves better than what Jojo was doing to him.

“Jojo, don’t you think that you are hurting your man? He loves you, he asked you to marry him and you agreed…he went ahead to engage you and you collected the ring, only to remove it and kept it inside your hand bag because you saw a bigger fish. This is really bad and is sad too.

Jojo laughed out at my every word which she felt has no effect on her.

“Becca, leave me and my problem alone. My sugar will be alright. I told you if Ohio shows little interest in me, I will not let him go…I will hold onto him tight. My Sugar will have to leave with that. Ohio is a huge fish and I’m fighting every way out to make sure he falls for me. I saw him looking at you all over the other day while I was greeting him. See Becca, you cannot handle a man like that. You don’t have the experience for such men. It seem you are beginning to like him…but let me warn you to be careful because men like Ohio needs action and activity woman. he is not your type…. he can even cheat on you because you are not his spec and you will end up getting more hurt than what Sugar…. no, I mean Richie left of you. So tread with care and don’t be deceived by his fine eyes on you. He will only use you and dump you but as for me I know how to keep him to myself and keep him entertained all the days of his life. I have the skills, I have the smartness and I am so pretty and can make any man to fall. Trust me on that…I use and dump them at my pleasure, no man can use me and leave me broken. But as for Ohio I want him for life…I want to be all his and to spend the rest of my life with him…I wish he will just give me a good sign and make me the happiest woman alive…

I listened to Jojo’s desperate word and shakes my head sadly at her.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

is all true that I am beginning to Like Ohio, I never even knew that it was that obvious.

But Ohio is probably getting married soon if he is not yet married to the beautiful lady I usually see them with sometimes. Ohio, looks at me in a way that sent warm all over my body and it makes me uncomfortable sometimes. Ohio still thinks I’m engaged or even married due to the first conversation we had which makes it hard for him to approach me again even though I wish he will do that over again.

I hope I’m not sounding desperate like Jojo.

I don’t want to appear desperate for any man ever again. The wound that Richard left in my heart has healed up but the scar is still there. I hurt deeply anytime I think of it but I have moved on and is a good thing that he found someone better off than me who will love and cherish him as he does.

Sometimes I wish I never met him at all but life goes on and I’m happy that I have moved past the heart breaks. I will not freely give my heart to any man that will play it like a football and score me like a goal.

Jojo’s attitude towards getting Mr Ohio was irritating me and I was looking for a perfect time to tell her to stop coming.

My boss summoned me, and asked me why my friend was always coming around doing working hour and I apologies to him and told him I will do something about it.

I finally told Jojo that my boss said she should reduce the way she comes to the office.

Jojo thought I made it up and became upset.

“Your boss did not say that Becca, you just do not want me to come again because Mr Ohio is beginning to like me. Why are you wicked like this? When suga… Richie breaks your heart I helped you to get over him but now is time to help me to be with the man I truly want and you want to close the door of opportunity to my face. And your boss cannot say that because he likes me. I saw him looking at me when I greeted him the other day and I can sense he likes me…

I gave a heavy sigh before saying.

“Jojo…my boss is a married man. Stop reading wrong meaning to things. He probably looks at you because you are not part of his staffs and he wondered what you are always coming around to do. People will think you are coming to see me as a close friend which you claimed to be …but they don’t know that you are only here to see Mr Ohio. Jojo, I don’t want to lose my job because of you just take the advice and stop coming off and on. Mr Ohio is probably married or getting married soon, even though I did not see any ring in his finger. Give it up or find another way to get to him but reduce your visit to my office. I beg of you…

Jojo did not take the news lightly as she walked out angrily.

Before leaving Jojo said if she can’t have Ohio that I won’t have him too. is either Mr Ohio belongs to her or no one else.

I was shocked at her obsession with him.

I wasn’t in any way competing with her on who to have Mr Ohio. She was just angry and acting unnecessary drama.

I know with time she will be fine, maybe if Mr Ohio shows her green light but as for now, the man is not interested in her at all and she knows that already and still did not want to give up.

I still wonder why she was beginning to mix up the names “Richie” with Sugar” i can’t help but noticed that anytime she is speaking so fast and want to mention Richie as she usually calls Richard she will end up calling him sugar.

And why is she still holding onto the pet name when we are no more together.

Jojo can be annoying sometimes but she is still my friend and I appreciate our friendship.

My Dad called me that afternoon to inform me that Melinda was home.

“Wow, really…that’s good!

That was my reply thinking that will be the only news but my Dad had something more to say.

“Yes Rebecca, is really a great news because your younger sister Melinda is engaged. Yes…she came home wearing an engagement ring, it was one of the biggest news I have waited so long for. I and your mother saw the ring and it is quite expensive and fit in perfectly well on her finger. She said she wanted to surprise us and that was why she did not break the exciting news to us over the phone. Melinda really surprised us with such news. She is still as beautiful, smart and outspoken as ever. I have not met her man yet. She said he will be flying down to see us by next weekend.

The news of Melinda’s engagement came unexpected. As much as I wanted to lift up joyfully for my sister, I also know what the news will mean to me, how some people will begin to see me.

My Dad will remind me of what he usually say, that Melinda will first me and get married because of my carelessness and I never had good luck with men.

Those words cut inch of my heart whenever I think of it. Melinda will even start showing off as the most favorite or lucky one.

She sometimes act that way just for me to feel bad.
