All Chapters of A PACT TO LOVE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The warm rays of the sun streaming through the windows gently stirred me up from my sleep. I don’t think i have ever slept so comfortably. I wish I could just pack up this bed into my bag and take it home with me.A knock in the door interrupted my crazy thoughts.“You can come in.” I say to the person at the other side of the door. A woman who I'd estimate to probably be around fifty or above, entered the room. She was wearing a black gown that extended below her knees with sneakers on her feet and she carried two shopping bags in her hands. I immediately sat up “Good morning, Ma’m.” “Good morning dear, I hope you have a good night's rest.” She asks, walking over to my side of the bed and proceeds to sit at the edge.“ I did. Thank you very much, the bed is extremely soft.” She gave off a homey and comfortable space with her smile. Making me feel like i could tell her anything without worries.“ I’m Agatha.”“Bailey.” I said introducing myself.“I know William informed me about yo

“Lol, um i don't know who you think you are but nobody sees the big boss without an appointment or at least a visitors card, so please stop wasting my time and just leave already.” She said, giving me a nasty scowl.Ignoring what she had just said, I rummage through my bag in search of the card to bring it out to show her. “Do you mean this card?” I asked, waving it in front of her face.“W-Where did you get this f-from? Only people who know the b-big boss personally have access to that.” she asks, giving me a scared and doubtful look.“Well, Luke gave it to me the last time I was here.” She just nods dismissively and brings out a book.“Your name?” she asks rudely.“Bailey Simmons.” I respond as she writes it down.“The card?” She asks, stretching out her palm for me to place it on it. She checks the number on it and writes it in a book before handing it back to me.“Please sign here ma’am.” She says pointing at a blank space. I was so shocked by her sudden change of attitude but I di

“Good afternoon Mr Cedrick.” I say as I enter the car. I really don't think this man likes me very much because he started driving without saying a word to me, ignoring my greetings.Cedrick drove as we sat in an uncomfortable silence with only the sound of the wind dancing around the car playfully tousling my hair and the trees heard in the background, i actually started wished that he had played his usual old people playlist on the radio today.Cedrick stopped in front of my apartment building jolting out of my thoughts and my phone started buzzing in my bag as I alighted from the car, Cedrick drove off without a word, “what a strange man.” I mumbled as I reached into my bag to get my phone. It was Shayna calling.“Hi, Shay, how are you?” I ask as I make my way to my apartment “Bails, Meet me at the grocery store next to your apartment in umm.. Twenty minutes STAT!!” Shayna says, ending the call abruptly.“Ughh-i can't believe she's going to make me go back outside today! Can't I ju

Cedrick picked us up from the boutique once we were done and drove us to the wedding planner's office.Walking into the two story building and I couldn't help but gawk in awe of the magnificent glass front that had glass birds and little glass swans on them. It was so beautiful that I stopped in my tracks to take in the beautiful scenery and Hazel walked ahead of me to the receptionist desk and I followed her afterwards.She tapped the desk with her nails to gain the attention of the woman there. “Good afternoon. I’m here for Mrs Patricia Flair. I booked an appointment with her for one pm today.”“Hold on, please give me a moment to confirm the appointment details.” the lady sitting behind the desk says glancing at the monitor In front of her as she inputs somethings into the keyboard.“The name on the appointment?” she asks.“Bailey Simmons.”“Ohh….. Ok You can head right up, Mrs Flair will be right with you.” She says picking up her office phone and calling the presumed Mrs Flair and

As Hazel and I exited the office, we took the elevator downstairs and walked over to the receptionist table where Stella worked. We got to her desk but she was busy with her computer as her fingers danced around the keyboard in a swirl of clicks, it wasn't until Hazel made a “Ahem” sound clearing her throat before she finally took note of our existence.“You again?” she said, basically snarling at me, Hazel gave me a puzzled look before speaking up.“Hello again Mrs Stella, we were sent directly from Mr Armani himself, could you please direct us to the staff’s locker room?” “Ohh yes, he called to inform me not too long ago, please give me a second the…..” She mumbled to herself as she rummaged through the stacks of papers and files on her table rifling through its content with focus, searching for the mysterious document or file. “Found it! Here you go.” she said, handing Hazel a pamphlet that had their company’s logo on it. “If you open to page 5, you’d see a detailed map of the en
