William's pov
This is so disgusting
If I were anywhere else I'd have already walked out, I'm simply still here out of the respect I feel for Mr Gerald and that respect seems to have been cut short because he wasn't going to be able to make it yet he didn't inform me . He didn't tell me that I'd have to be dealing with a woman when I arrive here ,he didn't mention that it'd be his daughter.
Everybody talks about how she has a knack for landing all the deals she's ever handled. How she walks around with grace and beauty and presicion but nobody says anything about how she lacks the ability to stick to freaking time. I feel Jeremy's hands on my shoulder as he pats me and tells me to relax cause I need this deal as much as they do but this young lady doesn't seem to be bothered about other peoples disposal with regards to time. Stupid spoilt rich kid.
And just like I had spoken my thoughts out loud the doors swung open and she walked in with her secretary by her side holding a stack of papers and another lady behind her. I'm pretty sure I've seen her too but I just can't remember where . Not that I was bothered though.
My brows crease as I watch her stride across the room towards the conference table in all her elegance and almost flawlessness and then my temper flares .
" We had an arranged time…you're thirty minutes late. If you had arrived on time we'd be about to end this meeting or at least half way through it."
I say still sitting and not even minding my tone as I talk . I was mistaken to think she'd remain quiet after being spoken to in such a manner
"You speak like both of us has any sort of arrangements…and I can see that you left your manners at home as you're still sitting even as I've walked in the room."
I straighten myself and my eyes go wide because she has quite an audacity to speak to me that way.
Then she gestures for Jeremy to sit and says "shall we begin."
I look to Jeremy as he takes his seat beside me and I'm not surprised to see that he finds the entire situation amusing. He's always been a fool.
It's the first time I'm happy that I don't exactly have to say too much at these kind of meetings cause for some reason I'm finding it utterly difficult to concernrate on anything
Jeremy handles the entire thing as usual and the deal is almost finalized but she prefers for her dad to be the one signing on the documents so we reschedule for another day later in the week.
Just as they leave the door I hear Jeremy start to snicker and I turn to him and ask
"What's so funny?"
And then the snickers turn into a full fledged laughter
" I'd give anything to see you have such an expression on your face again."
He says and keeps laughing. I have nothing to say to him so I just keep my gaze fixed on him. I'm pretty sure my expression has gone stoic.
"I've never seen anybody…well apart from your mom and me who can actually give you back your shit."
He laughs again …
" She totally got you speechless."
" Okay shut the fuck up that's enough. You're making this a whole lot bigger than it is "...I say
"I'm not making it a lot bigger Will… it's that big…you were totally flushed".
He laughs again
" That's enough Jeremy let's go".
Just then the doors to the conference room open and the same woman who has come in with Mr Gerald's daughter is at that door with a very wide smile
"...erm Mr William? Mr Gerald is available right now and he'd like to see you ".
I'm instantly annoyed,why hadn't he just scheduled the meeting for now? Did he really have to make his daughter attend on his behalf?
"Okay that's good".
I actually do mean that in a way because it'll save me the stress of having my schedule rearranged.
Nicola's pov " Ahh William""Mr Gerald"I keep staring out the window of my dad's office. It has the most magnificent view ever , he says it's one of the reasons he choose this office in the first place . It's easy to loose oneself in it's view. Something about it is just very comfortingThe rush of vehicles on the road,the hustle and bustle of the streets filled with people during the day and then the view of thr sky and mountains that seem so near even though they're so far away . It makes it possible to believe nothing is actually out of ones reach"Baby girl are you listening?"I hear daddy say and it snaps me out if my trance and I turn around and smile at him ."Sorry dad I got carried away."He smiles at me ….I love it when he smiles "I was just telling William that I won't be around for the duration of our contract so you'll have to work with him on this."It's only then that I allowed myself to look in his direction . He has his eyes fixed on me the entire time with an expr
Nicola's pov "Nothing's right D. How am I supposed to work with him for 3 months?... we're not compatible in any way . It's obvious he'd rather have this deal done any other way than this way …things may go wrong and we'd ruin everything.""What you should be worried about is how you won't fall totally in love with him like the rest of us in the world by the end of those 3 months" …she stays before stuffing her face with a chocolate filled doughnut."That's a stupid thing to say Diana"...I laugh cause for some reason I think it's funny."I'm being serious Nick. He's a super handsome guy with a perfect nose and the best hair ever and a well defined chin and God those shoulders holy shit …did you see his hands…ohh I'd give anything to have those hands on me."She moaned..she actually moaned and I'm laughing really hard"You've totally lost your mind D…you just moaned.""I know"She says laughing too"And I can't tell if it's the doughnut or the fantasy I just had about Hawthorne ".I b
William's pov I've been both dreading and anticipating this day . It's Monday and Nicola is supposed to start working on the project here with me today and she's late …on a Monday morning she's late to work. It's fifteen minutes past 9 and she's not here . Does she think she's in her father's office? Does she think she can just do whatever she wants here ? It's not going to be that simple cause here things are done as per my rules I pick up my phone and dial her number . We had to exchange numbers because of this project.It begins to ring and she picks up on the third ring …she probably doesn't know in the one calling"Where are you ? You should've been here fifteen minutes ago."There's a pause after that and then I hear her say ."I'm walking down the hall in the direction of your office . And don't forget that I don't exactly live here …I'd have been here much earlier if I lived close to the office.""I'm waiting for you in my office…hasten up."...and then I cut the call .There
Nicola's pov "What was that about"I say to myself still struggling to catch my breath.I hate this man … he had totally disoriented my morning. Fuck my stupid body for responding to his proximityBut how couldn't I?I've literally been starved of any type of physical relationship. That was probably why I reacted that way to his closenessWhen I walked into his office and saw him sitting behind that magnificently large desk cladded in that beautiful army green suit with that perfectly white shirt and three of the buttons undone , his flawless hair and soul-peircing eyes staring back at me I felt myself shudder…he's an extremely beautiful man in every sense of of the word.And when he walked up to me and edged me against the door of his office leaving us locked in and the rest of the world a heartbeat away yet still too far away I just couldn't breathe… I couldn't stop myself from feeling.How am I supposed to survive these three months?There's no positive feeling I have towards him
William's pov"Put that stupid cigarettes away William""Mom language. Josh can hear you"My younger sister Amber says as she tries to calm her wailing son."And stop yelling l at him, he's not a child mom . Will you've been distracted since we got here what's the problem?""I'm fine Amber it's nothing to worry about"I say putting on a smile that I know is not convincing at all . She looks at me and I understand exactly what that look says "How was work today Willy".My mom asks . I take a long drag from my cigarette then toss it onto the ashtray before I turn to answer my mom."It was fine . Just another stressful day "."I heard Mr Gerald's daughter started working for you today"."She's not working for me mom , she's working with me . She lives just opposite "."Word has it that you punished her today ".I'm sure she intended that to be a question but I'm in no mood for this conversation so I'll just ignore it ."I think you guys should leave . It's getting late and I need to res
Nicola's povIt's absolutely beautiful.It's more than I imagined , the room decor is masterfully done .It's honestly magnificent and I love it.Everything is to my taste ,it almost seems like he did it on purpose to please me ,but I doubt so. We obviously don't like each other.Although in all honesty he didn't seem so bad after I'd spent time with him .But I can't let myself be fond of him, that'd be unfair.I've hurt him before and I'm sure if he were to find out he'd never forgive me and that's why I'll keep my distance.I won't get close in any way at all .Still wrapped in my thoughts I feel my phone vibrate in my hand, and just as expected it's my best friend Diana“Hey D what's up babe” I say through a stifled yawn “I'm alright darling. So… how was your day ? Was it less shitty ,just as shitty or a lot more shitty than we thought it'd be!” “Uhmm it's complicated.”...I'm instantly met with dead silence.Did the call disconnect or something?“D?? You still there?”“Yh I'm he
William's povI swear on all things holy I don't know why I just walked to that door .The moment my mom and sister left my room I wanted nothing more than to have a shower and hit my study… I have work to do so why am I offering her dinner?Nothing good will come out of this, it's bound to end badly I'm sure of it and yet here I am sitting at a table in the restaurant waiting for her to come down and have dinner with me.Maybe it's because I'm so sure she won't come.Oh fuck I spoke too soon cause now here she is , walking graceful across the room .She hasn't spotted me yet but it won't take too long before she does .She's utterly stunning Why did I think she won't be here I was so sure I was done with her for the day yet here I am and in the same way I was so sure she won't come down but here she is .She has spotted me and is walking in my direction now .I stand up and move behind the seat and pull it out for her. The mere feeling of doing this very mundane task that I do for
Nicola's povHe's got a girlfriend,and a son and he sent them away to have dinner with me. What kind of man is he?Who does he think he is? Who does he think I am?I'm trying to convince myself that I'm more upset about the fact that he's a shitty man than I am about the fact that I thought he might actually care about me.I feel like shit myself although I know it's not my fault and I shouldn't blame myself I just can't help it. God can this day get any fucking worse.And then I hear a heavy bang on my door.I'm already so pissed and whoever is at the door is about to get it.“ What the fuck do you want?” I say as soon as I open the door. He's the one. This stupid very imposing arrogant asshole.“Why did you storm off?”“Why are you here?”He snorts “ I own this place I can be wherever the fuck I want.”“ You're an asshole, do you know that?”“,I thought we already established that fact.”“ I want you to leave and I mean it. I don't want to see you if it's not important .So don't bo
Nicola's povWhat the hell was I thinking? Why did I even dare him when I know my pussy has been wet for him ever since I got in his car. The only reason I didn't use my vibrator was because I was too pissed to admit I was horny.Or at least I thought I was . I'm burning right now . I can feel it running down my inner thighs and I'm sure he's going to feel it soon . But if he doesn't touch me I might die . “Hmm” he says as he feels the wet path leading directly to my sex. That sound really isn't helping right now “I feel you dripping baby. I'm going to touch you now.” He's looking directly into my eyes and I gasp trying to take in as much air as I can . It feels like he's looking into my soulHis hand slides between my folds . I can hear the wet sound . The sensation of being touched is almost overwhelming“Baby . You're so fucking wet. And it's all for me. I can feel you dripping into my palm”He pulls his hand from me and I'm about to protest until I see what he's doing.He pu
William's pov I knew she was going to be pissed, but I still went ahead and sent the car I had given her home . I know she'll try to fight me but we have to talk.She has been avoiding me since the night I asked her to dinner and since that night I've been unable to think straight. Not like that is new anyway. Since she strutted into my life I can't get her the fuck out of my head and today , today I'm going to show her that you don't talk to your boss anyhow and go unpunished.I walk to my car and get in because I know she'll follow me . She's too pissed to not say anything to me. When she's standing right in front of the car I move back and swerve so she's standing right by the passengers door.“Get in “. I say it with a straight face .“Go fuck yourself”. “No baby . I'm going to fuck you”. She looks shocked like she's trying to digest what I've just said and find her voice.“Don't make me tell you a third time . You're already in trouble . Now get the fuck in”. My voice is
