CHAPTER 81

William’s p.o.vI glanced up at the clock in my office before looking out the window. Time had gone, it was already 8 p.m. My first day back at the office was more hectic than a usual day in the office.I logged off from my system and picked up the tie and suit jacket I had removed a long time ago. I switched off my office lights before walking out.The building was empty and quiet as expected since everyone clocked out at 6p.m I took the elevator to Luke’s floor because I knew he was also a workaholic like me and he would still be in the building since he hadn’t come up to my floor yet.The elevator door slid open and Luke was right there, standing by the elevator and about getting on.“I was on my way up to you.” He says as he gets in the elevator and presses the lobby button. “Romeo told me he sent lunch to you yesterday. Not fair, he has never sent any meals to me; later he’ll deny that he doesn’t have a favorite when it’s clearly you.”I gave him a side glance before facing forwa

Bailey’s p.o.vI held my pillow, snuggling into it while rolling on the bedWait! How am I in bed? I sat up straight trying to remember how I ended up in bed. The last thing I remember doing was falling asleep in the living room, did I sleepwalk all the way here?I got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen to get something to drink. I pushed the door open and surprisingly William was there nursing a cup of coffee, I glanced at the clock on the kitchen wall and it read 7 a.m.I walked to the coffee machine in need of a coffee too, ignoring William. “Good morning.” He says from behind me, almost making me spill the coffee I was pouring.“Good morning,” I mumble, while mixing all the ingredients I needed in my coffee.“Did you sleep okay?” he asks. I turned around quite shocked he was asking me this. I’m usually the one trying to make a conversation between us, not the other way around.“uhm, yeah I guess, did you?” I ask and he nods, the silence engulfing us. “Uhm. This might sound

CHAPTER 83

William let out a loud hiss as he stormed out of the kitchen, I looked up at Matthew and he beamed, ushering me out of the kitchen. I walked out of the kitchen to my room with mixed feelings. Since we would only be staying for three days, I packed lightly, going with only the necessary items.I had never left America before, and I can't believe I am visiting Rome on my first visit out of the country. I was so pumped, unlike a grumpy somebody I know.I dialed Shayna’s number as I walked into the closet to get a few items.“Yooyoyo!” She squeals after picking.“Hey Shay, how are you?”“I’m good, you? I haven’t heard from you since you told me you were babysitting William, how is he?.”“That’s true, I’m good, he’s also good I guess, enough of all that, now guess why I called.”“You know I never guess right, so just tell me.”“I’m going to Rome,” I say squealing.“What! No f****ing way.” She says. “No way.” She says again screaming. “How come?” she asks.“William has an upcoming meeting t

CHAPTER 84

We finally landed in Rome, a few minutes to seven. Exiting the airport, I felt so much excitement coursing through me cause I was in Italy, I couldn’t wait to start exploring and trying out the local foods. I took in my surroundings, gazing at the frenzied people searching for the people they were here to pick up.William and Henry walked ahead while I followed behind. We didn’t exit the airport through the front exit but rather, through another exit where a sleek black Rolls Royce was parked. This day just keeps getting better and better!Henry opened the black passenger seat for William and I and he took our bags and placed them in the trunk of the car before getting into the car through the front passenger seat. The car seats were made of dark leather and I inhaled the scent of musk and rose as soon as I sat and buckled myself in.“Good morning Mr. Armani, where to?” the man behind the wheel asks with his thick Italian accent.“ La Rosa Nera,” William replies, pronouncing the Itali

CHAPTER 85

The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the room was the view, we were high up. The black silky drapes were opened and I could see the places surrounding the hotel for miles, I could even see the beach that was a couple of kilometers away. I didn’t come with a bikini but I was definitely going to visit that beach.I finally turned away from the view and took in the suite, it was grand and luxurious with its white couches, exotic rugs, and a round glass center table. The center table had magazines well stacked and two novels placed perfectly on it. The suite had a kitchen that was well furnished and stocked with items to make meals. The suite only had a room which meant William and I had to share the bed.Mathew planned ahead I guess.I was exhausted despite sleeping on the plane, I walked to the room and placed my bag beside the bed. I could hear the water running in the bathroom signifying William was in there showering. I removed my shoes and sweater like I did on the plane be

CHAPTER 86

William was long gone by the time I woke up, it was nine in the morning.I hope his meeting ends up being successful, I know how hard he worked and how much this meant to him.I yawned as I walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee to give my system a well-needed boost. After drinking my coffee, I walk to the bathroom to shower to get ready for my day of mini-exploring. After showering, I pack my hair up in a messy bun and put on a summer dress and a pair of sandals, I twirl dramatically checking myself out in front of the mirror before grabbing my purse that had my phone and key card.First things first, I ought to find Alfredo.I use the private elevator to get down to the lobby, as the golden doors of the elevator slide open, I walk towards the receptionist’s desk. “Good morning.” I greeted her, and the receptionist lit up, a huge smile formed on her face“Good morning,” she replies cheerfully, I let out a sigh of relief, grateful I could communicate with her. “How can I help

CHAPTER 87

William’s P.O.VAs I stepped out of the bathroom, adjusting my cufflinks, I was a bit surprised to see Henry standing at the entrance of the door. “Has he sent the location where we will be meeting?” “Indeed sit, he has, the meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m promptly. Should I call for the driver?”“Yes, do that and pack our things, we are heading there now, we need to go over everything again so we don’t miss any crucial information.”“Yes sir,” Henry replies nodding, he grabs my laptop bag and briefcase whilst calling the driver to meet us at the hotel’s entrance. I walked ahead of him, pocketing my iPhone and snatching a keycard off the top of the table. I made my way to the private elevator.The elevator door slid open and we stepped out into the lobby, walking out to the entrance.“Buongiorno.” The security greets as he holds the car door open. I gave him a nod before entering the car with Henry following behind. Henry gives the directions to the restaurant while I scroll through

CHAPTER 88

William’s p.o.vBailey walked over to us with a shopping bag in her hand. What was she even looking for? Why was she wandering around?She walks faster and stands beside Henry. “Hi, what are you guys doing here? Are you also touring?” she asks but I simply ignore her, I wasn’t ready for her stupid questioning after losing the major investor I needed for my product launch.“We aren’t, we just needed our meeting,” Henry answered in my stead.“How did that go? Was it successful?” she asks, smiling up at Henry. Henry shook his head no. I could feel her staring at me as I tapped away, messaging Marco to pick us up since Henry told him to be around the vicinity till we were done.“Miss Bailey, is that you?” Fabio Conti calls from behind me, walking out of the restaurant. We all turned around as he walked closer. “Hi, nice to meet you again, how is Enzo?” she says, smiling at him.Enzo? What exactly am I missing here? How does he know her?“He is fine. How do you know Mr William Armani?” he

CHAPTER 89

William’s p.o.vI placed my phone on the kitchen island and walked to the room to pick out a pair of black sneakers and a silk shirt to go with the jeans I was wearing.“Get dressed, you have ten minutes,” I say, glancing at Bailey who was sprawled on the bed like a wounded octopus with her phone in hand.She acts so inappropriately.“What? Where are we going? And w-” She asks but I cut her off slamming the door abruptly. I put on my shirt, buttoned it up, and slid into my sneakers before making my way to the kitchen.I brought out the wine bottle again, pouring myself a generous glass. I needed more of this if I was going to survive these coming days. I downed the contents at a go, I returned the wine to its place and I picked up my phone from the kitchen island, returning to the living area.“Where are we going?” Bailey asks, walking out of the room and putting her phone in the small bag she held. I glanced at her outfit, from the sneakers on her feet to the denim buttoned skirt and

CHAPTER 90

William’s p.o.vShe stops on the spot and whirls around facing me. “You’ve been here for almost three hours and you haven’t done anything fun, who goes to a carnival and acts like a bodyguard?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at me in a feeble attempt to intimidate me but it wasn’t having the desired effect on me. I didn’t answer her and just stared at her, she couldn’t see my eyes since I was still putting on my dark shade.“Argh, how old are you again? Fifty?” She asks and I scowl at her. “Learn to have some fun and loosen up. I strongly doubt you know how to have one, did you play as a child?” She asks rubbing her chin and analyzing me “I know how to have fun, I just choose not to waste my time on meaningless activities.”“Meaningless activities?” She gasped and I rolled my eyes at her. “You certainly don't know how to have fun if you think the carnival is filled with meaningless activities.”“Because it is, give me one meaningful activity that is done here?” She looked down in tho
