《The Billionaire's Proposal》Interview
Advertisement
Fear. That was the one word that came to my mind as I stood there staring at an angered Adrian.
"It's nine o'clock at night." Is the only thing that comes out of his mouth. "I told you to stop by at my office."
"I had stuff to do." I answer keeping my stand strong.
"Well your 'stuff' could have waited." Adrian replies.
This guy is really getting on my last nerves!
"Look I don't know how you were raised but you have to know that the world doesn't revolve around you, understood?" I snap and Adrian seems taken aback.
He crosses his arms over his chest and gives me his signature smirk.
"Look who's talking," Adrian responds. "You, the good girl that is selfless, didn't even care her fiancé would have died of starvation."
"Honestly, I wouldn't have cared." I retort and his mouth drops.
Score one for me!
"Next time I tell you to do something you don't disobey me, understood?" Adrian growled.
"Next time you talk to me like that I will knee you somewhere were the sun don't shine, understood." I reply.
"I'd like to see you try." He states his eyes never leaving mine.
I try to knee him but he grabs my leg wrapping it around his waist and pushing us to the wall. My heart started beating faster as I noticed the close proximity of our lips. Our eyes stared at each other, his hand was still holding my leg and I wrapped the other one around him.
"Jane," he breathed out his breathe fanning my face.
Now our lips were only a hair's width away. His eyes dropped to my lips before staring into my brown eyes again. Adrian leans in and closes the gap between us. I didn't know what I was doing but I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my hands through his light brown locks. What were we doing?!
"I know mom said she wanted grandchildren but you aren't even married yet and you're already making them!" A familiar voice states causing us to break apart.
Adrian clears his throat as he sets me down and I fix my hair.
"Gabby what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I came to talk to Jane and also inform you that mom's wants us over for diner tomorrow." Gabby informs. "But instead I clearly came to interrupt you guys."
I bite my lips and let my brown strands of hair hide my embarrassed face.

"Do you know why mom wants us over for diner tomorrow?" Adrian asks as we take a seat in the living room.
"I don't know," Gabby responds. "Probably because she wants to spend time with her children?"
"Um, I am going to go do some work. I'll let you two talk." Adrian states before walking out of the room.
Thank you so much! Now I have to answer Gabby's follow up questions about what just happened! Great just great.
"Oh my god, I am not even going to ask what you two were doing." Gabby responds.
Thank you God!
I give her a shy smile and ask, "What did you want to talk about?"
"Well I wanted to first thank you for choosing me to be your maid of honor." Gabby answers. "And-"
"And?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"I applied to Harvard Medical School and I got accepted." Gabby replies.
"Congrats." I state as I give her a hug.
When we pull away I find a sad look on her face instead of a bright happy smile.
"What's wrong?" I ask. "Aren't you happy?"
"I am but-" Gabby swallows the lump in her throat. "My mom she always wanted me to become some famous model and I want to make her happy. I don't know if I will make her if I tell her I don't want to become a model."
"She'll be proud of you, Gabby." I answer. "She's your mom, she'll be happy if you're happy. Look I didn't get to know my mom but what thing I do know is that mothers always want what's best for their child and what makes them happy. So, I am sure your mom will be more than proud, I would be proud if I was your mom. And if you need someone to be there when you tell her, I am more than happy to be that person."
"Thanks Jane." Gabby replies as she hugs me. "I am really glad my brother found you."
"Yeah." I sigh as I give her a weak smile.
***
I brush my hair an place it into a low ponytail. I apply some make up before sliding on my nude pumps. There is a knock on my bedroom door and I go open it.
"Good morning Ms. Hamilton, Mr. McKeller is asking if you are coming down for breakfast." Rosa asks.
"Tell him I'll be down there in a minute." I answer.

Rosa nods before walking away. I close the door and walk over my bed to grab my bag and coat. I walk downstairs and find Adrian eating his breakfast.
"Good morning Ms. Hamilton." Fernando states making my presence known.
"Good morning Fernando." I respond with a smile as I take a seat.
There was an awkward tension lingering in the room but only Adrian and I noticed it.
"Good morning." Adrian greeted trying to break the silence that filled the room.
"Good morning." I respond. "What time do we have to go see your parents?" I ask.
"Seven." Adrian answers. "Oh, and we also have an interview today with Glitz magazine. You know about the wedding."
I just nod as I start to eat my food.
***
There were five people surrounding me as they did my make up and fixed my hair. I sat there annoyed waiting "patiently" for them to finish.
"Are you almost done?" I asked for the twentieth time that morning.
I am pretty sure the hairstylist was as annoyed as I was or maybe even more annoyed. She probably wanted to strangle me by now. Hey, don't blame me! I can't even feel my butt!
"Yes, we're done." She huffed.
Just like me she was probably relieved and happy that she was done. I quickly get up and look at myself in the mirror. I look nice with my hair in wavy curls and the dress they went great with my complexion.
"We are on in five minutes." A woman stated and I nodded.
When Adrian said interview I thought it would be a written interview for the magazine, nothing more. But results it's a live interview for the magazine's show.
"Let get this show on the road." I mumble before walking towards the set.
Adrian was already there and the director was explaining something to him and he just nodded in response.
"Ah Jane, future Mrs. McKeller it's nice to see you. You look wonderful." The director stated and I gave him a small smile.
"Thank you." I reply.
"Okay is everyone set." The director asks and we nod. "Lights, camera, action!"
Here goes nothing.
"Good morning everyone," The host stated. "Today we have some special guest who have agreed to give us, Glitz TV an exclusive interview. Everyone welcome famous billionaire Adrian McKeller and miss Jane Hamilton."
The crowd cheers as we walk onto the stage as the director told us to and we say hi. Adrian takes a seat next to the host and I take the seat next to his.
"It's really nice to have you both here." The host states.
"It's a pleasure to be here." Adrian answers.
"So, a little birdy told me that you're no longer one of the top bachelors anymore, is that true?" She questions.
Adrian interlocks our hands and smiles, "Yes. Jane here has stole my heart and we are now engaged."
There are a bunch of 'aw's' but half of the girls there gave me envy looks.
"Jane you must be in lucky girl." The host states and I nod.
"I am. I am so lucky to have met this wonderful man." I lie.
Inside I cursed at my really unlucky star since it brought me this arrogant, bossy self-centered, douchebag with a bad temper.
"So when is the wedding?" The host asks redirecting her attention back in Adrian.
"April 22nd." Adrian answers.
April 22nd. The day I would bond my life with this man but thankfully it was only for one year.
"Jane, how did your parents react when you told them you were marring the Adrian McKeller?" The girl asked.
I felt a wave of sadness hit me as she parents. Every pair of eyes was on me and I swallowed the lump that rested in my throat.
"Um-" I couldn't find the right way to say what was stuck in my chest.
How was I suppose to tell the whole world that oh hey look my parents are dead and I am orphan?!
"Jane's were in a car accident and Jane was the only one to survive." Adrian answers as he gives me a comforting squeeze.
"Oh I am so sorry to hear that." The host states.
"It's alright." I sigh.
"Well we have more coming up after these commercials." The host stated before someone yelled out, "Cut!"
"I am so sorry about your parents I didn't mean to-"
I cut the girls sentence and reply, "It's okay you didn't know."
She gives me a weak smile which I return before she walks over to get some water.
"You okay." Adrian asks and I nod.
"Just want to get this over with." I reply.
