Free The Hottie Billionaire Series: Romancing A Banking Magnate (The Billionaire Meets The Damsel In Distress) by Sharon Rose Page B

didn’t need rocket science. He wouldn’t shell out bucks of money
for nothing. Of course, anyone wanted to get their money’s worth.
Her job entails that she would please him in bed in exchange of
financial benefits. She clearly understood that. When she went
today to see Xavier Yuchengco, she fully understood the nature and
the extent of the position and role that she wanted to snatch – a
wife and a baby momma. She already expected that they would be
talking about sex, but she just wasn’t expecting that it would be
this intense.
    Finally, it made her feel better
when she saw the playful smile on his lips. It looked as if she
made a really good impression on him. She suddenly felt hopeful
that she would grab the chance to pay off her family’s
debt.
    “ So am I accepted?” she couldn’t
help but ask. She was holding her breath in suspense as she waited
for his answer, fervently praying that it would be a positive
response.
    He shook his head. “Oh no, not yet.
Not so fast…” he answered as if he didn’t want to end their kind of
conversation yet.
    “ Okay,” she sighed softly. “I know
you would want to know more about me, so I brought my resume for
you to peruse, Mr. Yuchengco.” She rummaged through the contents of
her bag again. She pulled out a two-paged bond papers that were
neatly folded. “Here, please check this out.” She handed her resume
to him. She was really serious to nail this job interview so she
could convince this man to choose her as his wife and baby momma,
and not anyone else.
    “ Okay…” He accepted her resume,
straightened the folded papers, and scanned the contents with his
eyes. But he didn’t look interested. His face became impassive.
That made her feel nervous when he looked at her again. “Why are
you applying to this ad, Katrina?” He shifted to a serious,
business-like tone. “As I can see, you’re a decent woman, and
you’re taking Law. That says a lot of things about you.” He tossed
her resume on his table.
    She couldn’t help but swallow. They
were warming up to each other a moment ago, but right now, the
atmosphere became somewhat restrained. “Why, Mr. Yuchengco, what do
you expect? Do you just want a woman who could just be uprooted
anytime from the streets? I’ll bet that you’ll not just pick any
random stranger to be your wife and baby momma. At least, you’ll
make sure that she has a decent background, right?” she asked
bravely like a shrewed lawyer.
    “ Right.” He snapped his
fingers.
    “ There, you answered your question,
Mr. Yuchengco.” She smiled in satisfaction when she clearly made
her point.
    “ Let’s drop the formality, Katrina.
You can call me Xavier, from now on.”
    “ Oh... okay… Xavier…” She was
surprised to discover that she liked the sound of his name at the
tip of her tongue. It sounded sexy.
    “ You quite impressed me, you know,”
he said, and chuckled amusedly.
    “ Thank you!” She couldn’t help but
smile.
    “ And I like you more when you’re
smiling like that. You’re such a refreshing sight amidst all the
tensions and turmoils in my banking life.”
    She couldn’t help but blush. For
the life of her, she’d heard a handful of people giving her
compliments, but his was something that tugged at her heartstrings.
“Why, thank you.” He looked sincere, though, so she accepted his
compliment heartily.
    He tilted his head so he could see
her face squarely. “Seriously, Katrina, I just want to know this…”
There was a serious shift in his voice, though his eyes were still
twinkling with amusement. But she could feel that they were gearing
towards a more serious conversation. “Why did you come here today?”
His steady eyes probed at her.
    It was an important question that
she knew held a pivotal position for her to finally secure her
goal.
    She cleared her throat. “Well, I
need money,” she honestly answered. She didn’t want to picture
herself as a gold digger, but that was in all honesty, the
