Free Billion Dollar Surprise: A Billionaire Romance by Emilia Green Page A

way.  
    At exactly 10 o'clock, a tall woman walked through the lobby and straight over to Kylie.  
    "I'm Sasha; I'll be interviewing you today." She said quickly, as though in a rush to get the formalities over with.  
    Kylie stood up and shook her hand whilst introducing herself. Sasha looked almost bored by the introduction and indicated for Kylie to follow her. Sasha said nothing to Kylie as they rode the lift all fifty-seven floors. Kylie spent the time trying to calm her breathing down.  
    Sasha seemed intimidating, she was clearly experienced in her job and unimpressed by what she had seen of Kylie so far, she could tell that from the bored expression on her face.  
    They had settled into the interview room, which was a wide office panelled with clear glass and a view into the streets of Manhattan. Kylie sat nervously in the expensive leather chair while Sasha started to ask her questions.
    She answered all the questions that were posed to her and smiled whilst doing it. Kylie couldn't help but smile; it was something she always did. She was an optimist and a dreamer, who refused to let the world bring her down.  
    After Sasha had finished asking her everything she needed to, she smiled too, the first smile Kylie had seen on her face since she had met her downstairs in the lobby.  
    "Well Kylie, you do seem like a good fit for this position." She said, without looking directly at her. "Would you be interested in starting tomorrow?"  
    Kylie felt her heart skip a beat, she had got the job, and phase two of making it in the big city was complete.

    "I got the job!" Kylie shouted as she swung open the door to her apartment.  
    Her best friend Felix turned his head away from the TV and grinned.  
    "I knew you would!" He said back, in an equally excited voice.  
    Kylie had met Felix at college, they had hit it off straight away and when she had told him about her dream to move to the New York, he had insisted they escaped together.  
    Felix had lived a difficult life in small town Texas. He had known from an early age that he was gay, but his parents being devoted Christians, had made coming out difficult and he had never felt as though they had fully accepted him for the person he was.  
    When he had learned about Kylie's plan to escape their small and dreary town, he had grabbed on to the opportunity with both hands and hadn't let go since. As soon as they had both saved up enough money, they left of New York and found themselves a modest apartment.  
    The rent wasn't exactly cheap, but it was New York and they had never expected anything less. The studio apartment wasn't big, in fact once they had both put their single beds up; there was little room for anything else. Felix had brought his TV with him, a flat screen, which they had mounted on the wall. At the back of the room there was a small kitchenette, which consisted of two dingy units and a microwave. There was also a small free standing sink, which was stained with lime scale and other questionable substances. It wasn't much, but to Kylie and Felix, it was the freedom that they had always longed for.  
    "So you're going to be some rich dudes slave girl then, huh?" Felix said with a mischievous look in his eyes.  
    Kylie rolled hers and put on her best upper class voice.  
    "No, I'm going to be Christopher Matthew's personal assistant." She said.
    Felix laughed as Kylie finished speaking and she grinned back. She didn't know much about Christopher Matthews, other than he was a self-made billionaire, who had created some kind of software that most smartphones relied on to function. Kylie wasn't exactly a tech savvy kind of girl and when she had been researching the company, most of the information had gone over her head.  
    That night she slept with anxiousness to her dreams. She was excited about starting her new job, but this wasn't some small town in Texas, this was real life in the hustle and bustle of a big city and she didn't want to
