“Mario,” I call as I push the kitchen door open not seeing him inside the kitchen space.“In here.” He calls back from the closed pantry.I make my way there, pushing the door as I stand at the entrance folding my arms. “What are you doing?” I ask watching him as he jotted something down on a small notepad, looking through the things in the pantry.“Organizing and noting down the things I have to get while going grocery shopping.”“I didn’t know you did the grocery shopping here,” I say. Come to think about it, who did I even think did that?“Who did you think did it?” he asks continuing with what he was doing.“I honestly don’t know, I never thought about it,” I answer as I watch him for a few more seconds. “Where's Agatha, I haven’t seen her all morning. Is she coming today?”“I don’t know but I doubt she’ll be coming anymore.” He says and I nod thoughtfully.“Can I tag along when you go grocery shopping?” I ask and he turns to me with slight hesitation. He probably didn’t know how

After grocery shopping, Mario had to leave since his shift was over and I ended up making lunch all by myself. William came back home early again today, he entered the kitchen with a smile on his face.So did that mean that the kiss meant something? I wanted to ask but I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn’t bring down the mood. We had lunch and dinner together having light conversations as we ate before going up to his room to sleep. I went to my room to get showered and changed into my pajamas while William was in his bathroom. I sat on my side of the bed with my legs crossed and the duvet covering my lap as I read the novel I picked up earlier today.William’s phone buzzed on his side table signifying an incoming call.“William,” I call. I didn’t want to check the caller ID so I wouldn’t be intruding on his privacy.“Yeah.” He calls back.“Your phone, it’s ringing.” “Bring it over here.” I roll to his side of the bed and briefly glance at the caller ID before picking up the phone and

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

William’s p.o.vI woke up two hours later and dressed up for work, leaving Bailey as she slept soundly on her side of the bed. On getting to the office, I noticed the building was still moderately empty. I walked up to my office to meet Henry and Luke at the entrance. We sat together, working towards making a proposal that could get Ace Corporation back on board to re-invest in our company.We spent the next couple of hours discussing before sending in a final email. Now all we had to do was play the waiting game and I hated waiting.Knock, knock “Come in,” I respond to whoever was knocking on the other side of the door. Henry walked in with his hands behind his back, I glanced at the time on my laptop and it had been five hours since we sent the email for reconsideration.“What do you have for me?” I ask.A smile forced on Henry’s lips as he walked towards my desk. “They accepted the offer and sent over newly signed documents sir.”“That’s good to hear, have you informed Luke?”“Ind

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

True to his words, William had stocked the fridge with loads of junk food or diabetes stuff like he would call them.“Hi,” I say, bringing my attention from the chopping board where I was chopping onions to him. It has been a couple of hours and I decided to make dinner for the both of us. He was no longer dressed in his office clothes anymore, he had changed to a pair of sweatpants. “Why aren’t you putting on a shirt?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.“Why? Does it bother you?” He replies with a smug look.I shake my head. “pft of course not.”“What are you doing?” He asks as he takes a seat in front of the kitchen island.“Making dinner, Mario’s shift is over so I took it upon myself to do so, Hope you don’t mind?” I inquired, gauging his reaction.“I don’t mind.” He shrugged. “What are you making?”“Stir Fry Noodles.”“Yum, that was actually one of my favorite foods growing up.”“Right,” I say, agreeing with him as I look up before turning back to the board. “ It was the first food I l

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

Bailey’s p.o.vWilliam was long gone by the time I woke up the next day. I spent the early part of the day with Agatha and Mario till they left, afterwards, I spent a few more hours in the library.I finished the novel I was reading and suddenly found myself craving cookies and I knew the kitchen had the ingredients I needed so I decided to make them. I grabbed my phone and took it to the kitchen with me, to play my playlist as I worked.The beat of the song took me away as I danced around like a maniac in the kitchen space, reaching out for the kitchen utensils that I needed.“What are you doing?” I hear William's voice and I turn around surprised, almost causing me to lose my balance.“H-how long have you been there?” I ask, pausing my music playlist on my phone.“Long enough to see you do your weird dance.” He says, I knew he didn’t mean it harshly but I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed that he caught me dancing stupidly in my sweats. He leaned against the door arching his brows
