One Night With The Billionaire

That evening, Jace and Chase Hudson arrived at the Hudson’s family house. They came over for dinner as invited by their parents. But what they didn’t expect was that they would be having guests.

Festus Dante and his wife Selina Dante were present with their daughters Tayo and Flora. As soon as Jace stepped into the sitting room and saw the family, he remembered his dad’s words about his friend’s daughter, one Tayo Dante.

“Welcome sons,” Henry Hudson said, smiling broadly. His both sons have arrived and it’s going to be an evening of fun and dinner.

“Hello Dad” Jace said, feeling uncomfortable with the thoughts crossing his mind. His father can’t possibly be serious about what he said the other day, right? He doesn’t understand why his family and another family should come so close.

“Jace dear,” Laura Hudson chimed, coming over and hugging her son happily. She did the same for Chase and pulled them in to introduce them to their guests.

“Come over,” Henry declared and soon, the two families were all seated. Jace had glanced around the guests seated and accessed them quickly.

“Son, meet my friend Festus Dante, a friend of mine from college. This is his wife, Selina Dante and their daughters Tayo and Flora Dante”Henry smiled before continuing “My sons, Jace Hudson, the CEO of the Hudson’s holding and the second Chase Hudson, the President of the same Conglomerate” Henry concluded.

“Nice meeting you, Mr and Mrs Dante” Jace Hudson said, wearing a forced smile that quickly disappeared as soon as he finished his words. He glanced at the ladies and nodded briefly before taking his eyes off.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Chase did the same, his eyes darting away from his parents to guests before shaking hands with Dante.

Soon, Amelia Hudson invited the guests over for dinner. The dinner took place in the garden, it’s more like a family party. The first dish served was the starter.

An hors d’oeuvre was the first meal served and they got down to it. Amelia Hudson ensured that Tayo Dante took the seat next to Jace.

Everyone already knows that the Dinner was organised for the sole purpose of making Tayo and Jace meet each other and get acquainted with one another. They are expecting that their future together begin from that moment.

Jace Hudson was also aware of the logic and match making his parents were up to, but pretended not to be aware. His first glance at Tayo, he disliked her already. She doesn’t possess the charm he likes in women.

The main course was served next and it was Moldovan cuisine. It was tasty and well spiced. Jace Hudson likes European cuisine and his mom deliberately made the chef serve them the meal.

Her aim was to make Jace feel satisfied with the dinner and that would greatly influence his mood. He and Tayo had to be introduced to each other that evening.

Midway through the meal, Jace’s assistant came forward. He locked eyes with Jace and nodded. The latter stood up and excused himself.

“Your sons are the cutest in Z-City” Festus Dante complimented. His gaze on his friend and his wife. He cannot deny the fact that the moment he sets his eyes on Jace, he admires him immediately.

His height, facial looks and his quiet nature was nothing to be compared to the aura the young man had. His presence in the sitting room suddenly changed the atmosphere. There’s a compressing domineering air around him.

And his dear daughter Tayo should be the woman to own such a man. He can’t let his daughter lose such a man. Thank goodness, there hadn’t been any rumours about him being in a relationship with anyone. That’s a plus for his daughter.

“Thank you Festus,” Henry chimed. He likes it that he complimented his sons. Amelia also was all smiles, her sons are actually the cutest in Z-City.

“Your daughters are the prettiest ladies I’ve ever seen” Amelia complimented and Chase suddenly choked. He coughed and his mother glanced at him, she understood this son of hers too well.

It wasn’t a natural occurrence, Chase faked it. The latter grabbed a glass of water and sipped it down. Everyone on the table mumbled a word of sorry but Amelia was the last to say it.

Chase forced a smile and nodded to everyone before returning to his meal. He glanced at Tayo Dante from his split vision and wondered if she’s the eldest daughter of the Dante family that his father talked about.

Soon, Jace returned and continued with his meal. As soon as the meal was over, Henry Hudson said “Jace is the richest man in Z-City. He is a Trillionaire and in a few years time, he would be a Zillionaire” he proudly praised his son.

“He is hardworking and I know he would top the richest in the world before he clocks forty” Festus added, glancing at Jace in admiration.

The latter was expressionless. What’s the meaning of this, what has his networth got to do with the family dinner and the guests? For God’s sake, his dad shouldn’t be involved in such matchmaking nonsense.

Tayo turned sideways and passed a tender glance at Jace. The latter saw it from his split vision but didn’t glance at her.

“Tayo also is the best graduating student during her university days. She barged first class and received an award” Selina Dante chimed.

She has to say something about her daughter as well. She has to make Tayo look outstanding to attract Jace’s interest.

Selina’s words were received cheerfully by Henry and Amelia and they congratulated her, saying she’s a combination of beauty and intelligence.

Chase choked again and quickly took a glass of water and sipped from it, his eyes and his brother’s met and he saw the irritation displayed on Jace’s facial expression.
