The Billionaire and His PA novel Chapter 93

The beginning of the new year was the start of many new things. Cassie, the twins and Snowflake had all fully moved into Felix’s house, each adding their own form of personal touch to the place. The changes that came with all of them living together could be seen in the house and in their lives. Felix had had the closet in the mastered bedroom remodeled so that Cassie’s clothes would fit into it. The twins’ room that had once been blandly colored and sparsely decorated during their first nights there, had been transformed into an age appropriate setting, bursting with colors and toys for Aaron and Lily, complete with an enormous dog bed to accommodate Snowflake who had grown to the size of a baby pony and according to the vet, wasn’t even up to her full stature as a Tibetan Mastiff. To cater for the number of people that were now residing with him, Felix had gotten a car large enough to accommodate all of them at once comfortably. Eliza had harassed him about how whipped he was once she had seen the car as it had stuck out oddly in his garage among the sea of sport cars and convertibles.

At the office, Felix had started working shorter hours but found that his efficiency had greatly improved. He could get a lot more done when his mother wasn’t breathing down his neck and when he knew that he had people waiting for him at home. Luther’s old office had been sensibly remodeled so that Cassie could use it after they had both found out that being in the ‘honeymoon’ phase of their relationship, they couldn’t get much work done if they were locked in the same space for most of the day. With school back in session and the twins now too far away to continue their education at their old school, Cassie had enrolled them in a nearby private preparatory school.

It wasn’t until sometime in mid-March that Felix had been able to arrange a meet up with Isabel. She had spent the whole of January and most of February in the hospital and then used the rest of the time to recover in Daniel’s penthouse. Right from the time that they had been able to find a free date in both their schedules, Felix had bothered about what Isabel would think of him. The closest that he had come to having a sibling was Eliza and she wasn’t exactly the model sibling for multiple reasons. Filled with snark and sarcasm, she wasn’t even a model person. She was a good person, but not a model person.

“I still don’t get why you’re making such a huge fuss about this.” Cassie said, looking at him through his reflection in the mirror.

“Because it’s not every day that you get to meet up for Sunday brunch with someone who is your long lost half-sister.” Felix retorted. “And also, I’m not making a huge fuss about anything.”

Cassie scoffed. She dropped her tube of lipstick and turned to face him. “Yeah, right. You’ve changed your tie seven times already this morning. I don’t know what you’d call that, but I call it making a huge fuss. Look, you don’t have to be bothered. It’s not like this is the first time you’re meeting Isabel.”

“Yes. But the other times that we met, the two of us had barely said anything to each other. She just found out that we’re related so she probably has all these expectations from me and what if I can’t meet up to them? What am I even supposed to say to her?” He groaned. “I still don’t see why you can’t come with me.”
