William's P.O.VA day after the product launch event.I turned to my side, staring at the sleeping form of Bailey. who was sleeping so peacefully, her chest rising and falling with each breath she took and a little snore escaping the space between her lips.I thought back to yesterday, I was beyond ecstatic that it was a success and the day went without a hitch.I got up from the bed, stretching as I walked into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for work. A couple minutes later, I walked back out of the bathroom, with my towel firmly secured around my waist. Glancing at Bailey who was still soundly sleeping, I smirked remembering how I wore her out and how the night ended.I ran my hands through my soaked hair making my way into the closet, I picked out a suit and got dressed walking back out to get my keys and phone. Sending one final glance her way, I make my way out of the room, getting into my car, and driving for another day at the office.I parked my car in the lot cur
THE PRESENTWILLIAM. P.O.VI couldn't wait to take off my work clothes and get a good bath because many other things were making me get all stressed. I couldn't have been more annoyed with Henry today, or perhaps I was just venting out the natural frustration I was facing.“Hi William,” I heard a familiar voice mention my name. I couldn't have been more shocked at that as I turned to see who it was.She had that same vibrant smile on her face that brought about so many memories. I just couldn't get myself together at that moment, as all I did was just stare blankly at her in pure horror.“What…what are you doing here?” I asked, staring deeply at her confused.“Silly you,” she laughed out loud. “My mom works for you, remember? I'm here to see her.”She walked over to the dining table, arranging everything accordingly, while I just stared at her, still confused by the fact that she was really there.“Gianna,” I called out softly, and she wasted no time in turning to look at me with a sw
WILLIAM P.O.V“Yes, send me those files right away,” I said over to Henry and hung up the phone. It has been a stressful day right from the first week, but now that I'm at the top, I have to do whatever it takes to remain at the top.I was lost in my thoughts until a knock distracted me, I looked up to see that it was none other than Bailey. She had a cup of coffee in her hands with a small smile on her face.“Can I come in?” She politely requested. I took a deep breath and nodded in response for her to come in. She smiled and walked towards me, placing the coffee on my desk.“Thanks,” I said and took a sip of the coffee. I had to admit that it tasted perfect and was quite intriguing with the designs on it.“You made this?” I asked and she nodded in response. She took a seat opposite my direction, while I just watched her, wondering why she was here in the first place.She hardly ever comes into my study, so it got me a little alarmed that she was here all by herself without any need
BAILEY P.O.V“Thanks for coming, Shayna. I honestly didn't know how I was going to deal with this all by myself,” I laughed, digging through my closet for what to wear.“But why are you so frightened anyway? Isn't it just like an outing with a girl, and you're making it like a big issue,” she claimed.I rolled my eyes at her, wishing that she knew what sort of girl it was and the humiliation I had to face because of her. Thinking about going out with her was driving me crazy, especially with the fact that she only pretends to be nice to me around everyone else.I wonder what she'll say or do when we are alone shopping?“Trust me, Shay. She's nothing like what she seems, and I sense that there's something more to her that I don't know,” I said, letting out my thoughts.I would rather not jump to conclusions yet, but Williams was just showing every sign of it. He always acted weird whenever her name was mentioned and the day she was seated with us, he was also acting so weird around her
BAILEY’S P.O.V“Remember security is always watching you so don't try to do anything that would embarrass me,” Williams warned.I didn't know if to be appreciative that he had security guards surrounding me or the fact that he thought that I was going to mess up which can affect his reputation and to think that that's the only thing he ever mumbles about.“Thanks for dropping me off. Have a lovely day at work,” I said and got off.I didn't even bother hearing what he had to say next, as I was already so bored with listening to his non-stop lectures. He had been going on and on about some of it, and I was getting bored with it.I stood there as I stared at the big company that stood right in front of me. I still can't believe that I made it here, but thanks to Williams for pulling a few strings that got me here.I didn't like the idea and would rather go back to the café but this was the only option for me and I would be here for a few hours, which would be easier to get away from ever
WILLIAM’S P.O.V*NIGHT TIME*The huge waves of stress washed over me, as I practically drowned myself in so much work. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy dealing with so many things, especially since Henry was away dealing with a lot of other things, like having fun with his wife on an all-expense paid vacation.I was so frustrated, he left me to deal with so much work, but at the same time, I knew he deserved it. He had recently just got married, and I would be more of a prick if I let him become a workaholic like me who rarely had time for his private lifeA knock was heard on my door, which frantically distracted me from the work I was doing earlier on. “Come in,” I let out, my voice hoarse as I hadn't said a word in a while.Agatha walked in with the house phone, I was in her hands. “Sorry to disturb you, but it's just that your aunt has been wanting to hear from you. She tried calling your phone, but you weren't picking up so she called me,” Agatha stated.I looked up at her,
BAILEY P.O.V“How're you doing, sister-in-law?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to see Ethan coming in. My heart skipped a beat at that moment, as I wasn't expecting him to suddenly come in.I was also wondering why William didn't mention that he was also going to be involved rather than doing me like this. I knew there was no need to be awkward about it, especially since he apologized, but yet, it's been tough to forget his confession.“Hello Ethan,” Gianna greeted with a cheerful smile on her face. Ethan turned to her with his jaw dropped, as a smile slowly grew on his face. “Gigi,” he shrieked as he pulled her into a hug.I didn't understand what was happening, especially with the fact that everyone seemed to know Gianna, and yet, Williams didn't even want to say a word regarding it, like it felt like they were keeping some sort of secret.“It's been so long. I can't believe you're back now,” he said, releasing her from the hug.She stuck around him like some kind of leech and
BAILEY’S P.O.V"Bailey," I heard Williams's voice call out to me. I woke up to the realization that the plane had already landed. I didn't even realize that we were already in Rome.I can’t believe i am back to Rome.I didn't want to come but Mrs Reid made me, claiming that it would be really fun since there were a lot of others that would also be showing up. Apart from it being a business meeting between whoever they were meeting, it was also her birthday party and she invited us for a stay which means that we'd be here for a week or so. I began thinking, imagining just how my life would be for the few weeks that I would be here without anyone to talk to and I was sure that even Williams would be so busy and it wasn't like he talked to me back at home anyways.But either way, I was excited to be back here, and never would I have imagined that I would one day be traveling the world like this.I was about to carry our bags when William stopped me and then a man walked over to us. "He
