The Return of Billion Boulevard Chapter 91
"You did what?" Billion screamed. He couldn't believe what Joy was telling him."I agreed to be friends with Xavier." Joy said.Billion was confused about the whole thing. "Joy, can you please go over what you told me again? It seems I missed something." Billion requested.Joy repeated how Xavier had called her repeatedly on Saturday and how they had met up on Sunday, she told Billion what Xavier had said and her response."You agreed to hang out with him again because you feel he would play the same game his dad did." Billion stated."Exactly." Joy replied."Joy, I highly doubt that's what Xavier is up to. He knows he would fail miserably if he tried, I'm sure he's up to something else." Billion said."Well, we will never know what his plans are until I go out with him." Joy said."Are you sure there's no other way?" Billion asked."No. You don't have to worry about me, I can handle Xavier." Joy answered.Billion was worried and it was obvious from his appearance. His brow was fur

Billion turned his chair so fast to look at the source of the voice that he almost fell off."What?" He asked."I said, who aren't you jealous of?" Jill repeated the question he had asked and walked into Billion's office.Billion didn't know what to respond to. He could deny and say that Jill heard wrongly, but he was sure Jill would not buy it.Billion didn't know what to do, he suddenly felt embarrassed and self conscious for being caught while soliloquizing.He considered apologizing, but then, why should he apologize to Jill for walking in on him while he was having a moment alone?Would humor work? Billion thought about trying to make light of the situation by joking about it or making a self-deprecating comment, but his brain felt empty, so he decided to use another approach.Defense! Billion decided to become defensive and argue that talking to himself is not abnormal or that everyone does it from time to time."It doesn't matter who I'm not jealous of. I was having a moment al

"Xavier is engaged?" Billion asked. "Yes." Jill answered."That family is really something else. Why would Xavier ask Joy out when he already has someone he intends to marry?" Billion asked."Why would Joy even agree to go out with him in the first place? I can't wrap my head around it." Jill said."He reached out to her and just like his father, Joy is convinced Xavier is up to something. I'm convinced of that as well, but I wasn't expecting this." Billion responded."What do you guys think he's planning?" Jill asked."We have no idea. That's why Joy agreed to go out with him, she's convinced she'll figure it out." Billion answered."And you didn't try to convince her otherwise?" Jill asked."Trust me, I did. But once Joy has her mind fixed on something, she won't rest until she gets it." Billion answered."That's true. Well, she's a strong woman and I believe she's capable of handling things on her own. But one can never tell with that family" Jill said."You're right. I already

"That was close!" Joy exclaimed. "Yea it was." Billion concurred.It was the start of a new week and they were both sitting in Billion's office, he had just finished telling her about his encounter with Stella."Some people never change, I guess. Money seems to be the only language that can make them nice." Joy said."Yes and it's really sad," Billion said while shaking his head."By the way, I didn't know you like going to bars." Joy commented."I don't, not really. I prefer staying indoors on weekends." Billion said."So this weekend was an exception then." Joy said."No. I went there for a reason." Billion said."And what's the reason?" Joy asked."I went there to meet with Esther Brendan." Billion answered."Who's Esther Brendan? Is she a new business partner?" Joy questioned."No. She's Xavier's fiancee." Billion stated.Joy couldn't believe what Billion just said, she was in shock, she was feeling so many emotions at the same time that she didn't know how to react.She didn't

Joy marched straight to her office after leaving Billion's office. She stormed into her office with an intense and agitated energy.Her face was flushed, and her eyes were blazing. She kept muttering to herself, clenching and unclenching her fists.As she got in, she tried to sit but felt restless, she kept pacing back and forth.She was still pacing when she heard a knock on her door, "Come in." She said."Hello Miss Joy. Is everything okay? You look worried." Billion's secretary said.Joy didn't know what to say at first. There was no way she would tell her secretary it seemed she was jealous of a woman their boss was talking to, so she decided to use work as an excuse."Hi there. No, not really. We had a setback with the new project we're working on." Joy said."I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?" The secretary asked."We received some unexpected news from the client, and now we have to change our approach to the project." Joy responded."Oh no. What's the new plan?" Nina, Bill

It was the third day of the week. Joy was still acting weird around him. Billion didn't know what to think.Joy didn't respond to his texts, or emails, not unless they were work related.He had tried inviting her out for a drink after work, but she declined, she claimed she had plans.He decided that they grab lunch together at work, but she came up with another excuse.And she didn't initiate contact either. If it wasn't work related, Joy didn't try to contact him .She mostly seemed distant or disinterested when they were together and they had nothing to talk about.Also, she didn't make eye contact and seemed uncomfortable around him."Have I done something wrong? Or could it be that Joy was actually jealous? But why? Could it be that she thinks I want something more from Esther?" Billion asked himself."Billion, are you available to discuss the new project?" Joy asked.Billion, who was lost in his thoughts, slowly turned his head towards her. He had forgotten Joy was sitting rig

"Put your head on my shoulder, hold me in your arms…" That was the sound of Billion's phone ringing. Billion had never felt so glad to hear his ringtone, it was Joy calling him with her office number."Sorry, I need to take this." Billion said to Esther."It's fine, go ahead." Esther urged."Hello, what's up?" Billion asked."Hi, Billion. It's me, Joy" Joy said on the other end of the phone."Hey, I know it's you. What's up?” Billion repeated."I just realized that I forgot to remind you to sign some important documents before leaving the office.I wanted to let you know and see if you could come back soon and take care of it." Joy said."Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, those documents are crucial. It would be best if I come back to the office and sign them as soon as possible." Billion said.“I'm sorry, it escaped my memory.” Joy said."It's fine. Thank you for letting me know, Joy. Should I come back to the office now?" Billion asked, his tone suggesting eagerness to l

Laughter and chatter bounced off the walls as they gathered their belongings.Suddenly, Joy's phone pierced through the lively atmosphere with its insistent ringtone. She glanced at the caller ID and picked, “Hello.”After a while, she yelled, "What?” The abrupt interruption drew everyone's attention.After a brief exchange, Joy offered a quick "Thank you" and ended the call. “What's the matter?” Ecstasy asked.Joy simply urged her to turn on the TV and switch to Channel 108. Ecstasy did so, and their eyes were glued to the screen.On the television, an interview was underway. Stella Brown, flanked by her parents, Beauty and Joshua Brown, spoke earnestly to the interviewer. “Billion Boulevard has graciously extended financial assistance to my family in our time of need.” Stella revealed.The interviewer pressed for an explanation, “Ma'am, why would Billion Boulevard offer such

The sound of keyboards clicking and phones softly ringing fills the air, creating a productive hum.As Billion entered, a ripple of excitement spread through the room. The employees glanced up from their workstations, their faces breaking into cheerful smiles. The air was filled with a positive vibe, enhanced by the remnants of a memorable celebration from the previous night. After Billion settled into his office, his secretary walked in."Hello sir. There's someone here to see you." she said."Who's that? I wasn't aware I had an appointment this morning." Billion replied."You don't. The lady came in and requested to see you. I asked her to come back another time after she had fixed an appointment but she was insistent and refused to leave." she replied."What's her name?" Billion asked.“Stella Brown."When Billion heard that name, he found himself torn between professional courtesy and personal discomfort. Billi

"He's about to leave the premises isn't he?" Joy asked. Her expression shifted from one of elation to a fleeting moment of disappointment. "He is." Billion answered."What do you intend to do? You've already had a really interesting evening.First, it was Xavier and his family. Next, it was Stella. The press conference and now, Micah. Maybe you can talk to him tomorrow?" Joy suggested. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes widened with a tinge of longing. She wished for nothing more than to prolong this fleeting, stolen moment of intimacy and let it linger a little while longer."I think it's better I do it now. I'll let him know that I'm aware of where he is at every point in time.Also, I should inform him of his new occupation as well. And most importantly, he needs to formally meet his new boss." Billion replied."Looks like you still have a lot on your hand, so, I'll leave you to it" she said. With a soft sigh that carried a mixture of longing and understanding, Joy reached

"It's time." After walking away from Stella, Billion had gone to wash his face. He had just returned to the garden when Joy walked up to him and notified him that it was time. He had a press conference to attend."Oh boy." he muttered and followed Joy to where the media was. They tried crowding in on him and bombarding him with all their questions at once, but Joy wasn't having it.In a calm, composed and controlled voice, she said "Thank you all for your interest. I understand there are many questions, and Mr Boulevard will do his best to address them one at a time. Let's start with one question at a time, please"However, that plea fell on deaf ears, everyone had something to ask the CEO of D'Boulevard empire."I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it would be helpful if we could take this one question at a time. That way, Mr Boulevard can provide you with accurate and thoughtful responses" Joy repeated and fortunately, the crowd seemed to understand her."To ensure that everyone's

"Billion" a soft voice called out from behind him.Billion had not gotten up to five feet away from where he was when he heard his name.The voice which called out his name served as a reminder of the past—a bittersweet symphony of emotions stirs within him."Stella." he muttered without turning.A wave of mixed emotions crashed over him, taking him by surprise. A rush of memories flooded his mind, reminding him of the tumultuous times they shared together and the pain she caused him.Initially, his heart skipped a beat, caught off guard by the familiarity of that voice he once knew so well. His body instinctively tensed up. A knot formed in the pit of his stomach, as if the weight of their history resurfaced in an instant.Despite the tumultuous mix of emotions, curiosity and a sense of self-preservation urged him to turn around, to face the woman whose voice still carried a strong recognition within him."Hello Stella." Slowly, Billion pivots on his heels, his eyes meeting hers for

Billion's head swiveled gradually upon hearing his name, locking eyes with the person before him."Xavier," he said in a relaxed tone."It was you?!" Xavier asked accusingly."What was me?" Billion replied, his demeanor unwavering."You really have the guts to ask me that? Whatever did my family do toyou?" Xavier yelled."Are you really asking me that?" Billion responded, he had hoped that question was a rhetorical one.“You humiliated those who work for me!”"What about my family? Did they humiliate you as well? Or are you just a sick individual who derives not from watching the downfall of others?" Xavier spat"Your dad almost ruined my empire on love television! You and your parents are cruel individuals. You should be grateful I didn't look for a way to put you behind bars." Billion replied.Upon hearing those words, Xavier let out a mocking laugh "So what? I should kneel down and thank you for your mercy towards me and my family?" "There's no need for that. Do enjoy the rest of

"Good evening everyone" Billion said. He took a moment to scan through the crowd and he was pleased to see the three major families seated where he wanted, in front of him, seeing him clearly."No camera will ever be able to truly capture this moment," Joy muttered.She was watching the three families and their expressions were something she would pay to watch repeatedly if only they could be properly captured. The first family to catch her eyes were the Greys.Grace Grey's face initially displayed surprise, as her eyes widened and her eyebrows raised involuntarily. Her mouth parted slightly, indicating astonishment and disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. As the realization sank in that the person in front of them was the same young man she and her son had humiliated at the gym years back, her expression morphed into a combination of embarrassment and regret. Her eyes darted away momentarily, avoiding direct contact with his gaze, as a wave of guilt washes over her. Line

Micah stared at her. He was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. He was feeling a combination of guilt, shame, anxiety, and uncertainty about his future. The weight of his actions and the consequences he was facing weighed heavily on him.As time passed in the cell that he was in, he had begun to reflect on the gravity of his actions and the impact it would have on his family name if it became public knowledge.However, he did not feel regret over his actions, he felt regret over being caught. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, including potential legal ramifications and expenses was causing him great distress.When Joy unexpectedly showed up and requested to speak with him, his emotions intensified as he was notified. He felt a mix of nervousness and apprehension, unsure of what she wanted to discuss with him. The encounter could trigger a range of thoughts and possibilities in his mind, adding to his already heightened state of anxiety.As that statement left Joy's lips, Micah
