The Hottie Billionaire Series: Romancing A Banking Magnate (The Billionaire Meets The Damsel In Distress)
back, coming
from the floor to ceiling glass wall, cast a haunting shadow around
his lounging figure. She could see him, but couldn’t clearly
distinguish the details on his face.
    “ Mr. Yuchengco?” she asked
in a tiny voice, blinking her eyes for a few times, while she
grasped adjusting her vision to the glaring, bright light. But when
his face became apparent, she silently sucked her
breath.
    What filled her sight was something
she thoroughly didn’t expect. Not one bit. She saw a good looking
man. No, not just a good looking man, but a drop dead gorgeous man.
Probably the most handsome man she had ever seen on the surface of
the planet. Give or take.
    He was looking at her straight in the
eyes, like a smooth predator who was carefully checking his prey.
Her cheeks tinged at the intense way he was looking at her. It even
made the muscles around her throat tighten with tension. She wanted
to tear her eyes away from him, but she just couldn’t do so. It was
as if he held her stare hostage.
    “ Yes,” his crisp voice
echoed in the four walls of his office, answering her question. His
eyes became even more intense.
    Her heartbeat was erratic, with knees
slowly turning into a soft puddle of jelly. She tried to look for
someone else in the room, but she couldn’t find anyone aside from
the drop dead gorgeous man, who was now staring at her
intimidatingly.
    “ I’m Xavier Yuchengco,” he
continued as if he sensed her hesitation.
    And she sucked her breath again in
surprise. So Xavier Yuchengco wasn’t the middle-aged man with a
pudgy body and diminishing hairline, just like how she painted him
on her mind? Instead, he was young and fit, and totally the
opposite of her expectations.
    He looked so captivating and
intimidatingly powerful inside his luxurious office that was fit
for a king. Everything about him screamed luxury and power - from
his sleek, black tuxedo, to his diamond studied Cartier wristwatch.
His one hand was holding an expensive brand of a smart phone that
looked custom built. And he did exude menacing authority and power.
Those were the only things that matched her expectations. She had
never pictured a young, good looking billionaire who was in dire
need of a wife. He looked as if he was a man with a generous supply
of women at his disposal.
    Why was she here again?
    She pursed her lips. She was here to
be the wife of a filthy, rich billionaire. She was here to find the
solution to her family’s financial predicament. She reminded
herself. That was enough to put her back on track.
    “ Good morning, Mr.
Yuchengco,” she greeted him in a surprisingly steady voice. She
didn’t know how she pulled it off, as she was really shaking
inside, every bit of her. She wasn’t just anxious, she was also
melting under his intense gaze.
    One corner of his lips twisted. “I’m
sure you do have a lot of good stuff with you to make my morning
really good, right, Katrina?”
    The way how he spoke her name made her
heart beat even faster. It was like a sweet endearment. It was the
first time that he dug someone speaking her name. Or was it because
of his full, manly voice?
    He was looking at her with his
intimidating chinky eyes, with a mysterious smirk on his lips. She
took a second-long look at his eyes. She could distinguish every
little detail on his face now.
    Were his eyes gray? Goodness, but yes,
his eyes were really gray! She could clearly see that now, and she
couldn’t help but be amazed. He had the most breathtaking pair of
eyes she had ever seen. It was so unique and captivating. He had
chinky, but intense, gray eyes. Not the usual stuff among people
with mixed Filipino-Chinese bloodlines. It was like the East meets
the West, in a really eye candy way. She was quite sure that he had
Caucasian blood, too. He looked very mestizo with his gray eyes and
pronounced aquiline nose, but maintained his Oriental touch
courtesy of his cute, chinky eyes.
    She studied him further. His
square-shaped face and
