Rise Of Billionaire Bruce Ace. Chapter one hundred and thirty seven: hello stranger.
Claire went to the door to find out who could be knocking at their hotel room. She threw a glance at her mother who was reclining on the couch. She had a blank expression on and Claire could not figure out if she was scared or just nonchalant. Claire swung the door open and there stood Nick.Her mouth fell open, his eyes looked like it would fall out from it's sockets. They both recollected themselves and acted like everything was normal."Well well well, hello stranger." Claire greeted him and he nodded with an easy smile. This felt really awkward for Claire, she wondered if he felt the same. He strutted confidently towards Claire's mother with the bouquet of white roses in his hand. Her mother could not help the rosy glow that spread through her cheeks. Claire rolled her eyes. This all felt like a play."Hello baby." Nick said to her mother. Claire could not help the scoff that escaped her lips. Her mother shot her a look that could be interpreted as "back off, lady." Claire lifted

Aurora looked like a deer caught between headlights. She knew she was in a compromising position. Her mind was going a million miles per minute, trying to figure out what to say or the right explanation to give. "What are you doing in my room at this time of the day, Aurora? Cat got your tongue?" She approached her slowly like a predator approaching prey. The way her eyes darted wildly around Aurora, Aurora knew then that if she got out of that room unscathed, then it was a big streak of luck that fate had sent her way. "I know how this looks." She said in a quiet tone. Maria cocked her head in a direction."You think?" "I know. I was not snooping or anything." "Then, what were you doing in my room when I was not there?" She asked, her fear that she might have found out something was being drowned out by the anger that came with the blatant invasion of privacy. "I was looking for something I misplaced. It has to be here, it got missing from the day I came to see you." Her confiden

"You and Maria would be spending a while together. We need to sort out the library. The young master wants the organization system to be rearranged. He sent details as to how to order the books. No worries, ladies. This will be fun, I promise you. Seeing as a friendship is already blossoming, this might fasten the process." Nene said this without looking to see how Maria and Aurora were throwing daggers at each other with their eyes. Nene finally faced them with an infectious smile and held both of them with her hands. "The library is on the third floor, so you have to take the elevator. The elevators are in the hall that comes before the dinner room. It might not be so easy to spot, but I am sure you two are very smart women. You will definitely figure it out." Nene said with a smile and led them out of the room. They both walked in silence to the hall Nene had described. "What is going on here? There are no elevator doors anywhere here." Maria said this impatiently, she stormed he

Claire's mother stared at Claire for a while. Then, she started laughing. She laughed for a while. Nick plastered a false smile, as though his nerves were not dancing around like baby snakes. Claire stared at her mother, with confusion. She wondered what could be funny in what she had just said. Her mother calmed herself down and then decided to speak again."I know you always like to play tricks on me. This one, this one has to be the funniest so far. There is no way you could have dated Nick."Her mother said this with a strong kind of conviction. Claire shook her head sadly. She had not even sounded like it was a thought she had considered. "I do not understand. Why do you have so much certainty that I have never really dated him?" She asked, wanting more clarity. Her mother smiled calmly, she did not seem like someone who could be made to agree with Claire on this matter."Because my baby has never been to the big city. And i promised to invite him over one of these holidays when

"What do you mean by 'where is the rest of it'. Whatever you found in the bio is everything there is. There is nothing else." Maria tried to defend herself. She knew Aurora suspected her of something, but she did not think she would go as far as doing a background check on her to confirm her suspicion."I know you. I have observed you these past few days and I know you are much deeper than Maria, a drop out and salesgirl. Before anyone finds out there is a vacancy in Ace Residence, it takes a pretty long time. You just appeared immediately your predecessor before you left. You did not even leave a contact in the staff information logs. Nothing to connect your life before to what it is now." Aurora explained all of this and Maria began to see sense in all of it."Are you this observant or did this observance just start because of me?" "I have always been this observant. Trying to find the mysteries in people and trying to figure them out. It is always fun and sometimes it is not.""L

"What do you need me for?" Bruce asked. Claire smiled. That was just the question she needed to hear. Her mother would not believe anything she said. No matter how much she yelled, screamed or tore at her hair. Her mother has been single for so long, she finally found a warm body to wake up next to that was not her daughter. Claire wanted to ruin that and she understood why her mother chose to stick with the delusions. BuNick… Nick was the worst person to find that satisfaction with. He was a con artist. He earned a living by dating women like her, only richer. If she would not listen to any of Claire's warnings, Claire decided it would be better to make her mother see evidence with her own eyes."I need to borrow your tech guys. I need them to check out my mother's new boy toy. I need printed proof about his actions. Everything. It is going to be a slide show of all his atrocities. We just need to figure out how to get the both of them to watch." She said with a satisfied smirk on he

"Oh, of course. You can pay at the counter and we will arrange the cinema for your viewing pleasure. How many people will you be arriving with?" The manager asked.She took out imaginary lints from her top and crossed a shawl over her shoulder."I will be back with three others. Make it a memorable experience, this is our first time in Beijing." "Oh wow, I knew you had to be a tourist. You look new, different." The manager's eyes roamed Claire's body like it was a prize."I will take that as a compliment. Thank you. So…" She opened her arms in question."Oh, yes. You will follow Kiki back to the reception and pay there. Card or cash?" He asked with a smile. Claire returned his smile."A black card, dear. I do not do limits." Claire said and exited with a grand flair. She had to make just the right impression to get the elite treatment she wanted her mother to receive."Okay, that is settled then. Kiki will see you off. Thank you for working with us." The manager stood up to shake

Maria noticed Aurora's reaction at the mention of Hugh Steele's name. "Do you by any chance know who I mentioned?" She asked for clarification. Aurora kept a blank look almost immediately and shook her head."No no. I was just surprised. Why is he blackmailing you?" She asked Maria. Maria gasped and signalled for her to keep her voice down. The walls had ears, she could not risk anything going wrong right now."He needs something. He thinks I am the best person that can get it for him. He is out for something and he is vengeful. I do not know what you want to do with that information but there, I just said it." Maria shrugged and returned her focus to the books. Aurora stroked her jaw with her index finger. She appeared lost in thought."What does he have?" She asked. She needed to know what Steele had over her and strong the material was for the blackmail to hold. She wanted to help Maria get out of her mess."I can't uhm… I can not… it is really not in my place to say what it is. I
