William’s p.o.v.It’s been a long time since I’ve been close to any woman but I kissed Bailey at the pool yesterday, I wasn’t even thinking. I just did it and I think I liked it. I came back earlier from the office today so I could have lunch and dinner with her.Despite not admitting it to her, I liked having her around even if she can be very nosy and persistent at times, being around her brings out a side of me that I didn't even know I had.“William,” Bailey calls from the room where she sat with her novel and phone.“Yeah,” I called back from the bathroom.“Your phone, it’s ringing.”“Bring it over here,” I reply as I dry my face with the towel. I walked out of the bathroom as she made her way to the door holding the phone out for me. I take the phone from her, glancing at the caller ID briefly as I swipe accept and place it on my ear.“Mr. Armani, I’m sorry to bother you at this time in the night but I am afraid I have bad news.”“What happened?” I ask cutting him off.“I got an

Bailey’s p.o.vBy the time I woke up the next day, William's side of the bed was cold. I made breakfast for myself before dressing up and asking Cedrick to drop me off at Shayna’s office so I could spend her lunch break with her.“Bailey,” Shayna shouts turning the head of others who were present in the lobby. She runs up to me and engulfs me in a warm hug.“Way to make an entrance,” I respond, laughing as she releases me. “I’ve missed you,” I say, smiling at her.“Same here Hun, I haven’t seen you in a while and the last time we talked was when you came back from Rome.”“True,” I said as we walked our way through the sliding doors of her office building.“Where do you want us to eat?” she asks turning to me.“I’m thinking Daisy’s since we haven’t been there in a minute.”“Alright let’s go,” she replied before pulling me in the direction of the bus station“No need for that, I have Cedrick here with me,” I say and she releases my hand as I lead her to where Cedrick is parked, we get i

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

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

“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,”
