Chapter 2: Unexpected AttractionLilly couldn't shake the feeling of butterflies in her stomach as she returned to her desk after the coffee date with Gibson. The meeting had left her feeling both exhilarated and confused. She replayed their conversation in her mind, each word, each laugh, and each shared moment. Could it be that Gibson was genuinely interested in her, or was it all part of the office bet?As the days passed, their interactions became more frequent. Gibson would drop by her desk to chat about everything from their favorite authors to their childhood memories. He showed a genuine interest in getting to know her, which touched a place in her heart that had long remained dormant.One sunny afternoon, Gibson approached Lilly's desk with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Lilly, you've got to see this," he said, showing her his phone.Curious, Lilly leaned in, and her eyes widened as she saw the screen. It displayed an upcoming event flyer: "The Great Gatsby Themed Party,"
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 138: Grown wings
The days that followed the Great Gatsby-themed party were a whirlwind of emotions for both Lilly and Gibson. They continued to see each other outside of work, exploring new restaurants, taking long walks in the park, and sharing their dreams and aspirations. Their connection deepened, and it was evident to everyone in the office that something had changed between them.Lilly's friends, Angela and Mark, noticed the transformation in her. She had blossomed, not only in her appearance but also in her confidence. They were delighted to see her happy, and they couldn't help but ask about the man who had brought about this change in her life.Over coffee at a local café, Lilly confided in her friends about her growing relationship with Gibson. "It's like something out of a fairy tale," she admitted, her eyes shining with happiness. "He's not at all what I expected. We have such a strong connection, and I can't help but fall for him."Angela, the ever-supportive friend, smiled warmly. "Lilly
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 139: Great things happen
The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the dusty road. Gibson walked with a heavy heart, his footsteps echoing his financial woes. His once-thriving business had crumbled, leaving him destitute. He felt like he was at the end of his rope, both financially and emotionally.As he trudged along the deserted road, a tattered figure emerged from the shadows. It was an old beggar, hunched over a rusted shopping cart filled with scavenged odds and ends. His clothes were ragged, and his beard was matted with dirt. The beggar's eyes, however, shone with a peculiar, almost mischievous glint.Gibson couldn't help but feel a strange connection with this man. He approached and, with a hint of sympathy, dropped a few coins into the beggar's outstretched hand."Thank you, kind sir," the beggar rasped, his voice like sandpaper. "But you seem troubled, too."Gibson sighed, feeling the weight of his financial misfortunes press down on him. "You have no idea," he mumbled.The beggar, w
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 140: Grant The Power
As the legal battle concluded and the art gallery emerged victorious, it seemed like brighter days were ahead for Gibson, Elijah, and their creative haven. However, little did they know that a financial crisis of monumental proportions was brewing in the city.The local economy, heavily reliant on a declining industry, took a nosedive. Businesses closed, unemployment soared, and the city's residents faced an unprecedented financial downturn. Discretionary spending evaporated, and people no longer had the luxury of purchasing art or attending art events.Gibson and Elijah watched helplessly as their once-thriving gallery's daily foot traffic dwindled to a trickle. The artists who had flocked to the gallery found it increasingly difficult to make a living from their work, and many of them had to take on odd jobs to make ends meet.To make matters worse, the gallery's operating costs remained constant. Rent, utilities, and salaries couldn't be reduced, and they struggled to cover the exp
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 141: Suit up

The unique co-working space concept had taken off, and the gallery had become a hub for the city's burgeoning art scene. However, this newfound prosperity also caught the eye of an unexpected and sinister adversary – the underground art world.The city had long been known for its vibrant art community, but it also harbored a shadowy underworld of art theft and forgery. One fateful evening, the gallery experienced a break-in. The artists' work was stolen, leaving the space in disarray and its community in shock.Gibson and Elijah reported the theft to the police, who were all too familiar with the underground art world's illicit activities. The investigation began, but progress was slow. The stolen artworks were highly valuable, and the thieves had been cunning, leaving behind minimal evidence.The artists, who had poured their souls into their creations
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 142: Private Landing
Gibson's life had taken a turn he never imagined. Once a powerful business mogul, he had reveled in his wealth and success, but now he found himself on the brink of financial ruin. His once grand office building had been sold off, his luxury cars repossessed, and he had moved from a penthouse apartment to a run-down studio in a less glamorous part of town. It was as if the universe had conspired against him, pushing him from the pinnacle of success to the depths of despair.One gloomy afternoon, Gibson took a long walk down the winding streets of the city, his thoughts filled with regret and bitterness. The weight of his misfortunes pressed upon him with every step, and he felt like a man adrift in a sea of despair.As he walked, Gibson noticed a beggar sitting on a street corner, his ragged clothes barely enough to protect him from the elements. The beggar's scruffy beard and sunken eyes told a tale of hardship and suffering. As Gibson approached, he couldn't help but notice the begg

THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 144: Longer date
Gibson's journey through the treacherous world of politics had left him with more than just a bitter taste in his mouth; it had emptied his pockets and drained his bank accounts. He had ventured into the dirty webs of politics with a vision of change and a heart filled with hope, but the reality had been starkly different. He found himself in a precarious financial situation, having spent his savings on a political campaign that had left him with nothing but a contested position he wasn't willing to hold onto.The day he decided to resign as the newly elected councilman was a gloomy one. Gibson stood on the steps of City Hall, his resignation letter in hand, his heart heavy with the weight of his decision. It was a decision he had contemplated for weeks, but it was a tough pill to swallow. He had won the position, but the cost had been exorbitant.

Chapter 202: Jeopardy
Gibson sat beside his mother who came to drive him back from work. She was waiting for her husband when they got home from a long case which had taken up most of the afternoon. He’d finished at three and would be taking a nap. The day was hot but sunny, and he was glad that he didn’t have to stay in uniform. His dark brown suit and tie had seen better days, but he liked it well enough because it gave him a nice look, unlike other officers whose uniform made them feel like they were going to go postal. He felt relaxed as he sat in his truck with the AC blasting full blast. It was almost too hot out. Not that anything bad could happen to him, he knew there were a lot of things worse than being a policeman. In fact, the more dangerous jobs tended to fall into the hands of the very few people capable of doing the job right. They couldn’t afford someone else. That’s how it worked.His father worked undercover with some pretty scary looking characters. But that wasn’t unusual. People did

Chapter 201: Eyes Closed
‘If I had been faster maybe he would still be alive’“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me that he’s part of this?” she asked angrily.He could feel his throat tightening again. He hadn't realised how badly he needed to talk to someone but he couldn’t bring himself to tell Abby the truth. The more he talked about what had happened the more convinced he became that he should tell her. She deserved to know the truth, no matter how painful and difficult it might be. And besides, it would probably help her work things out. It would probably help everyone if Abby knew the whole story. He sighed deeply, knowing it was going to hurt her but hoping she'd listen anyway."I didn't want to scare you" he admitted softly.She shook her head violently, getting angry

Chapter 200: Time always tells
“Hi Gibbs! Have you seen Joseph? I've tried to get hold of him but he is ignoring my call!” She exclaimed, hurrying toward him.Jacob simply rolled his eyes. “Noticed. He has been acting strangely lately.” He replied, staring at his cellphone.Abby shrugged slightly. “Maybe he got a call and forgot to reply?” She suggested, wondering why the younger agent hadn't answered her message, although that couldn't have been it. They were both supposed to meet up together today and he clearly had no idea.“That doesn't seem like it. He said something about meeting me here at seven and yet he didn’t show up until nearly six thirty and we left the FBI Building at five forty five” he explained.Abby thought about what Jacob had said and made a mental note to ask Tim a

Chapter 199: I have to tell you
Gibson left his office very early that night and decided to go out to dinner with a friend. It was something he always did when the day started to drag on and it was still relatively new for him. He wasn't used to working long hours and so he enjoyed being able to go out without any work in tow. Plus, his friend could be a bit of an eccentric and they had never gotten along too well but they also understood each other. And since his best friend was a journalist and his own editor, their friendship worked like a magnet.He went to his usual restaurant and picked a spot near the window because it looked out over a small garden. There were few people milling around outside and most lights inside were off. This made it easy for him to sit with his back against the wall and enjoy his meal before heading home. As he ate he saw two young ladies approach one another and start talking animatedly while giggling about whatever. He smiled to himself as he continued chewing, watching them with amu

Chapter 198: Surpassed it
Gibson's voice echoed through the office as he stared at his mother, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face. Colleagues turned to see what the commotion was about, creating an awkward silence. His mother, wearing a hesitant smile, approached him, breaking the tension in the air. "Surprise, dear. I thought I'd drop by and see where you spend your days," she said, trying to lighten the mood. Gibson, still processing the unexpected encounter, struggled to find words in the midst of the curious gazes around him.Gibson, still grappling with the shock, managed to stammer out a response, "I... What are you doing here, Mom? I didn't expect you to visit my workplace."His mother, a middle-aged woman with a warm demeanor, chuckled nervously. "Well, I wanted to surprise you, dear. Your father and I thought it would be nice to see where our hardworking son spends most of his time."Gibson's mind raced as he tried to comprehend the situation. He never imagined his mother would appear unannou

Chapter 197: Make a man
Gibson couldn’t feel his arms again as he had over used them at the his workplace earlier that day. He had tried to carry a huge amount of paperwork for his boss’s office when he had gotten home, but it had been too much, and had dropped everything. The paper had made little to no dent in his overall mass, so he’d put on a shirt to protect it from the cold of the night. When it started to rain while he was on his way back to the office, however, he had lost all hope of getting the papers back to his boss before the storm began. So here he was again. He sighed and walked around the corner of an apartment building with no door visible, trying to get some cover from the rain by leaning against one of its walls. It seemed like the right decision, however, as he could see that the entrance to the apartment building was only five feet away, so it was just about possible for him to get inside without the water being wet through. He pushed off from the wall and started walking towards the ent

Chapter 196: Wine is good
“I want to speak to Gibson,” the light skinned lady said sternly as she entered the office, her voice low and dangerous. It was not a question, it was an order, and the man at the desk knew better than to disobey it. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Gibson’s number. The woman waited impatiently as he tried to connect the two calls, and when that failed, she turned to face him expectantly. Her face was hard and determined and made her eyes look darker than they normally would. She had dark circles under her eyes that made them seem bruised. Her lips were pressed tightly together, her hands clasped behind her back. She looked like someone who was about to get her way, which was probably true. She stood there looking intimidating until Gibson answered his cell, “Yes? Is everything alright?” His voice sounded worried and confused, and the woman felt a pang of guilt for scaring him with what she had been going to say earlier. “Hi Gibson, it’s me. I just... need a little help to

Chapter 194: Lazy Sections
Gibson read through the book he found on his office desk and grimaced at it. There was no reason to be upset about it, really, but he couldn’t help himself - he had been doing so well with this one! He had made a decent dent in his stack of files, he even had written half of what he needed for the article, which meant that he had to do something else soon! It wasn’t like him to let things drag out like this, but after last night - well, if there was anything that could get the better of him, it was stress, and stress sucked. He should have known better than to get distracted by that guy’s phone number, though! He didn’t deserve the chance, not when Gibson was just beginning to work his way up. But it was all gone now. He had forgotten the date, and he could barely remember any details from before he went home last night, and the only time he had remembered them was during the day. And then, well, then there were all those people who were still in his head - the ones who kept talking

Chapter 193: I’ll try and sing along
Gibson was forced to sing along at his business tea party. The woman he was with was a big fan and the song seemed appropriate enough that she started humming it loudly as they talked about her latest book. He couldn’t help but be envious of this person, this girl who knew so many interesting things and had such an exciting life, yet he was stuck here in the boring office of a company that made no money. He wasn’t complaining though - the pay sucked ass and being alone in the room with his boss all day was probably worse - but that didn’t mean he was happy about it. The woman continued to hum and sing, which annoyed him even more, and eventually she looked up and smiled when she realized what she was doing. “Oh, sorry! I keep singing! I do this sometimes to help myself think. I have trouble not singing if I can't talk to someone. It helps my brain to get away from reality.” She paused for a second, seemingly lost in thought before she shook herself out of it. “Sorry you have to list
