Romance: The Billionaire's Proposal Read Online Free PDF

rich people do.”
    I fall into the chair behind my desk and Joan nods to me, exiting the room.
    That’s what I like about Joan – she is very emotionally intelligent and knows when to leave me alone.
    Turning on my computer, I type “Alexander Hudson” into the search engine.
    When the picture pops up I do a double take.
    What?
    I rub my eyes to make sure they aren’t deceiving me, and once I realize that they aren’t, I get angry.
    “No freaking way,” I mumble to myself. “I can’t believe this!”
    I stare at the picture: it’s the guy from last night at the bar.
    I can’t believe this.
    Did he know I was planning to buy the land all along and was just checking out his competition?
    Because if that’s the case, I’m sure that I gave him everything he needed to know because alcohol always made me talk.
    I just can’t believe that a man with his amount of money and connections would have to stoop to the level to seduce business rival.
    Prick.
    I write down where his office is and place the address on the desk.
    There’s no way I’m letting him get the piece of land.
    This is now so much more than just a business deal. This man took me for a ride – all because he wants a piece of land.
    Bastard.
    This deal has just gotten personal.
    I can do so much more with it than he possibly could, and I am not about to be walked over by him just because he has a lot more money than I do.
    Turning away from the computer, I take a deep breath.
    Maybe if I reasoned with him at his office and not go in all crazy woman on him, he’ll consider backing off.
    Maybe, just maybe, the guy had a heart.
    I mull over that plan for about fifteen seconds before I kick that idea to the curb.
    He was going to get mad Tara - the personality that got more things done than soft, little, innocent Tara.
    I was so sure that I had this development in the bag.
    I’m glad that I waited to tell people I had gotten it, because it would be terrible to tell them that I didn’t get it again thanks to some spoiled billionaire jerk.
    I’m fuming, and all I can think seeking my revenge on this Alexander Hudson.
    Why didn’t he just tell me who he was in the first place?
    And why was he at just some regular run-down bar if he had that much money to blow?
    There were a lot of bars downtown that would cater to his every whim.
    There’s something more to him that meets the eye, and I plan on finding out what it is.
    But even after taking some deep breaths, all I can think about is busting into his office first thing in the morning.
    He was going to get a piece of my mind whether he wanted to or not.
    The line had been crossed and I was about to show him that I’m the type of person who didn’t play those games.
     
     
     
     
     

Alexander
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
     
     
     
    Councilman Jones had taken the bait.
    I knew I was taking a risk and possibly causing Tara to hate me, but I want to see what she’s all about.
    And sometimes, the only way to do that is to put people in positions where survival is key.
    I know that she really wants that land for her community projects.
    And I really wanted it too… but now it is game.
    This little play will show me if she’s a good competitor, a business person, or if she will even be worth my time.
    I have no doubt that tomorrow morning, once she realizes who I am, she’ll be busting into my office. If she doesn’t, then she’s not the woman I thought she was, and I’ll keep the property to myself.
    Some people may think this is a strange way to court someone, but if any woman wanted to be with me then she needed to be strong and not afraid to say what’s on her mind.
    If Tara’s indeed that woman, I guess I’ve finally met the one to take home to Mama.
    Especially since lately, she’s been nagging about me settling down.
    And with Tara, it might not be such a bad idea. I look over at my phone, where a number that I don’t recognize has popped up.
    I answer the call.
