A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 115
William’s p.o.vI impatiently tapped my pen on my thigh as I listened to the conversation between my Head of departments and the shareholders in the boardroom, Henry went on discussing the cases they had been brought to the attention of the board. The meeting had been going on for far too long and it was getting pointless as no important points were being made anymore, all it was simply doing was adding to the headache I already had. The meeting was centered on all the events that had happened in the past month and also on the process and progress of the upcoming product launch.I felt a light kick on my leg as I turned to Luke who was seated at my left side on the table. I arched a brow at him waiting for him to speak. “You are the CEO, please end this and put me out of this misery.” He whispered to me.I cleared my throat, which made the staff talking halt, and the rest of the people present turned to me. “That's enough, I think that will be all for today, and this meeting is boring

Bailey’s p.o.vWilliam was long gone by the time I woke up the next day. I spent the early part of the day with Agatha and Mario till they left, afterwards, I spent a few more hours in the library.I finished the novel I was reading and suddenly found myself craving cookies and I knew the kitchen had the ingredients I needed so I decided to make them. I grabbed my phone and took it to the kitchen with me, to play my playlist as I worked.The beat of the song took me away as I danced around like a maniac in the kitchen space, reaching out for the kitchen utensils that I needed.“What are you doing?” I hear William's voice and I turn around surprised, almost causing me to lose my balance.“H-how long have you been there?” I ask, pausing my music playlist on my phone.“Long enough to see you do your weird dance.” He says, I knew he didn’t mean it harshly but I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed that he caught me dancing stupidly in my sweats. He leaned against the door arching his brows

After the little make-out session we had in the kitchen yesterday, nothing seemed to be awkward after all we were two consenting adults, we even had a full make-out session again this morning before he left for work.I made my way down the stairs yawning as I headed to the dining area to eat my Lunch. “Good Afternoon.” I greeted Mathew who was already seated at the table.“Good afternoon Bailey, how are you?”“I am good, you?’ I ask uncovering the plate In front of me.“I’m good too. Mind joining me in the garden after you've finished your lunch?”“I don’t mind,” I replied and he nodded. I watch him walk out of the dining room before turning to my lunch. I still felt a tinge of embarrassment around Mathew knowing that he caught us locking lips yesterday.As I ate, I chatted with Shayna who was at work. After having my lunch, I made my way to the garden in search of Mathew.He was seated on my usual bench in front of the fountain, beside him was an arranged chess board with all its pla

I woke up early and immediately felt a surge of sadness wash over me, I can't believe I forgot about today. I glanced to my side at the sleeping William before quietly getting out of bed, and hurriedly making my way to my room.I brushed my teeth and stripped out of my clothes, stepping into the shower. I turned it on, letting the water cascade down my head as I bawled my eyes out in the shower. I stood under the shower for over ten minutes before stepping out. I made my way to the closet, pulling on a black jeans and black v-neck sweater and sneakersAs l I dried and combed my hair, I looked at the mirror and the sad reflection of a girl who had cried her heart out stared back at me, it’s been years but it still hurts. I looked away from the mirror as my eyes watered. I packed my hair in a sleek bun walking out of the closet. I switched my phone off as I stepped out of my room, making my way out of the house.It was my dad’s death anniversary today and I intended to spend the day as

“Hello, again.” He said, slowly waving his fingers at me, he was dressed in jeans and a black silk shirt.“Why are you here,” “No, I am not, this bench is public property so I have the same equal rights to sit here as you do.”“Right. Okay then, let me rephrase. Are you stalking me? You are, aren’t you? How did you even know where I was?” I ask him. He chuckles under his breath before turning to me.“I’m not stalking you, I was just passing by.”“That seems oddly suspicious,” I replied, narrowing my eyes at him.He chuckles, shaking his head. “If you want me to stalk you, I will. All you have to do is ask Angel.” He said with a sly smile on his face making me roll my eyes.“And why will I want that? That's creepy and besides you said you’ll see me again so sue me for thinking you’re a stalker”“I did say that but that doesn’t make me a stalker. Why are you out here looking at the hospital building, I assume you know someone there so why aren’t you in there?”“None of your business,”

“Thank you, Cedrick, you’re a literal lifesaver,” I say shutting the car door.“No need to thank me, I simply did my job but you’re welcome.” He replies, before driving off.Wait, his job? I’m confused. Didn’t he say he was simply passing by when he saw me?Argh! I shake all the thoughts away before making my way up the stairs. The door opened before I could input the passcode unveiling William who stood on the other end, dressed in his usual button-up shirt, tie, and slacks. while loosening his tie, he sidestepped, granting me access to the house, I walked timidly in, and he shut the door behind me.“Thanks,” I muttered quietly.His eyes soften slightly as he briefly studies me before speaking, “Um, is everything okay?” He asks.Why was he asking me that?“Yes uhm I’m fine, Everything is fine.” I stutter keeping my head bent. “So how was work?” I found myself asking in an attempt to make conversations.“Freshen up and meet me in the living room.” He says ignoring my questionI raised

I watched him as he put his cufflinks in place before placing a kiss on my lips. It’s been a few days since my dad’s death anniversary and William and I haven’t defined whatever we have going on but he’s been more relaxed and calm around me with a bunch of stolen kisses too.“Are you free today?” He asks as he spritzes his cologne.“You’re asking me that question.” I asked gasping dramatically, “do I do anything with my day,” I said, folding my arms as I rested on the entryway to his closet.“A simple no would have sufficed,” he says amused briefly, sending a glance my way. “Be ready at eight, Cedrick will pick you up and drop you at a restaurant.”“You lost me. What restaurant?” I ask, my brows creasing as I mull over what he said.“You don’t need to know all you have to do is dress pretty and be there, Cedrick will pick you up.”My brows shot up. “Are you asking me out on a date Mr. Armani? I ask teasingly“You are free to think whatever you want to, just be there at eight.” “Of c

I walked into the restaurant, admiring the beautiful blend of gold and red as I made my way to the front desk. The lady behind the desk looked up as I approached her with a tight-lipped smile.“Good evening Ma’am, do you have a reservation?” She inquired, looking at me briefly before looking down at the system in front of her.“Yeah, I am here to meet William, William Armani. My name is Bailey, Bailey Sim-Armani.” I stammered, it felt weird claiming his last name as mine.“Mrs. Armani, of course. Your table has been set, I’ll get someone to take you there.” She says and I nod. She phones someone with the phone on the table and a moment later, a lady emerges from the door behind her.“Right this way, Mrs. Armani.” She points, walking ahead of me, and taking me to the table.“Here we are Mrs. Armani, I’ll get a waiter to be with you soon. Mr. Armani should be here shortly.” She says and I nod, watching her leave. The lighting was a bit dark, creating an atmosphere of romance and mystery
