Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Scott went to the bar in person that night but couldn’t find any traces of the man. No one knew anything about him. He had someone to investigate and search for in the past three days but couldn’t find anything.

He had a feeling that the guy might be related to Rare Gem, or Rare Gem was simply part of his property. The guy might have even planned the whole incident and showed up as a savior to help Brianna, to find out what Brianna meant to Scott so that he could use her better in the future.

This was just Scott’s presumption now. He couldn’t prove it yet, and he didn’t want to tell Brianna in case it worried her.

A week later, Sally Streep rang Brianna in the afternoon one day, saying that she had received the necklace and earrings. She was very pleased with them and would love to meet Brianna in person to say thank you.

Scott agreed when Brianna asked for leave to meet Sally at the French Café as Streep Crystal was an important client.

While Brianna was walking down the road to the café, a car pulled over. Someone opened the window and waved at her. Brianna turned to see the familiar young charming face. “Chris?”

“You look very surprised. Have you forgotten me already?” Chris teased.

“Of course not. You saved my life. How can I ever forget you? What a surprise to see you here!”

“I’m still new to Las Vegas. Just having a ride to get to know the city.”

“I see. Oh, by the way, can you please tell me which hospital Angela is at? I’d love to visit her. I wonder how she’s recovering.”

“She’s much better. She should be able to get back to work at Turn On Bar soon.”

“But she shouldn’t. It’s not a safe place.”

“She doesn’t have any work experience, and she’s divorced. I guess she can only do what she’s good at to make a living to be independent now.”

“She’s divorced?” Brianna had not spoken to Angela for about two months since she got married to Scott and had no idea that Angela had divorced.

“Yeah. I heard it’s been three weeks. She didn’t take any of his money.”

“Can I visit her?”

“When she gets back to work,” Chris said casually.

“Are you forcing her to go back there to work?” Brianna asked.

“Is that how you think of me?” Chris questioned.

“I…” Brianna shook her head. “Is there a way I can contact you? I still need to thank you for saving me. I can get you dinner one day, perhaps?”

Chris smiled cheekily and said, “You want my contact number so that it’s easier for Scott Anderson to locate me? You are very loyal to him.”

“That’s not true.” Brianna denied it immediately. “Forget it. I was just asking.”

“I don’t mind telling you, but I need to know if you are genuine.”

“How can you tell if I’m genuine?” Brianna looked at him with her big innocent eyes.

“I’ve heard that you are a great chef.”

“Ha. I see. You should have a sample then. I’m more than happy to cook for you as a thank you.”

“Your phone?” Chris put his hand out of the window, his palm up. Brianna put her phone in his hand. He typed in his number and said, “You can find me on WhatsApp as well.”

“Great. I’m on my way to see a client. I will see you around then.” Brianna said politely.

Chris smiled at her with a wink and drove off.

Brianna got to the café early. As she waited for Sally, she received a message from Chris on WhatsApp. It was a photo of her walking down the road taken from behind.

Did he just take the photo? Brianna thought. She clicked on his profile picture, and it was a photo of a young girl, about fifteen years old, sleeping peacefully. She was like a little angel, looking innocent, yet there was an unmistakable hint of sadness between her brows.

Again she realized how similar the girl looked to herself. The girl Scott loves looks like me, and now there’s another girl that also looks like me! This is so strange.

“I saw you were walking down the road and was just thinking how much you remind me of my Caroline, so I took a photo.” Kris messaged.

“I see. It will be interesting to meet someone that looks like me.” Brianna replied

After a while, Chris replied, “She’s not here anymore.”

Not here? What does he mean? Brianna wondered. “Why don’t you ask her to move here? You seem to care about her very much.”

Brianna waited for a while but got no reply. So she put her phone in her bag and looked out of the window. Just then, she saw Scott standing across the road lazily, one hand in his trouser pocket. He looked distant and cold as usual. He then walked across the road towards Brianna’s direction. Subconsciously, Brianna stood up. She was about to knock at the window to say hello, but just then, she saw a rare and most charming smile lit up his face like a pretty young girl ran into his embrace.

The girl wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him passionately.

Scott never allowed any women to get close to him, yet this girl was obviously an exception. Scott hugged her gently and released her. The girl seemed displeased with the brief embrace and grabbed his arm tight. Scott gently pulled her hand off him. She pouted her lips. Scott patted her on her head and stroked her hair tenderly. “Shall we?” He said to her softly.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The girl nodded, and they walked away.

Brianna watched them in disbelief. She had seen how coldly and even mercilessly Scott treated Sophia and Zara. This was the first time she had seen him so gentle with a girl.

Who is she? Who is she to him? Brianna wondered. She didn’t sit back down till they were out of sight. Accidently, she knocked over the glass of water on the table, and it smashed onto the floor.
