WILLIAM P.O.V“Yes, send me those files right away,” I said over to Henry and hung up the phone. It has been a stressful day right from the first week, but now that I'm at the top, I have to do whatever it takes to remain at the top.I was lost in my thoughts until a knock distracted me, I looked up to see that it was none other than Bailey. She had a cup of coffee in her hands with a small smile on her face.“Can I come in?” She politely requested. I took a deep breath and nodded in response for her to come in. She smiled and walked towards me, placing the coffee on my desk.“Thanks,” I said and took a sip of the coffee. I had to admit that it tasted perfect and was quite intriguing with the designs on it.“You made this?” I asked and she nodded in response. She took a seat opposite my direction, while I just watched her, wondering why she was here in the first place.She hardly ever comes into my study, so it got me a little alarmed that she was here all by herself without any need
BAILEY P.O.V“Thanks for coming, Shayna. I honestly didn't know how I was going to deal with this all by myself,” I laughed, digging through my closet for what to wear.“But why are you so frightened anyway? Isn't it just like an outing with a girl, and you're making it like a big issue,” she claimed.I rolled my eyes at her, wishing that she knew what sort of girl it was and the humiliation I had to face because of her. Thinking about going out with her was driving me crazy, especially with the fact that she only pretends to be nice to me around everyone else.I wonder what she'll say or do when we are alone shopping?“Trust me, Shay. She's nothing like what she seems, and I sense that there's something more to her that I don't know,” I said, letting out my thoughts.I would rather not jump to conclusions yet, but Williams was just showing every sign of it. He always acted weird whenever her name was mentioned and the day she was seated with us, he was also acting so weird around her
BAILEY’S P.O.V“Remember security is always watching you so don't try to do anything that would embarrass me,” Williams warned.I didn't know if to be appreciative that he had security guards surrounding me or the fact that he thought that I was going to mess up which can affect his reputation and to think that that's the only thing he ever mumbles about.“Thanks for dropping me off. Have a lovely day at work,” I said and got off.I didn't even bother hearing what he had to say next, as I was already so bored with listening to his non-stop lectures. He had been going on and on about some of it, and I was getting bored with it.I stood there as I stared at the big company that stood right in front of me. I still can't believe that I made it here, but thanks to Williams for pulling a few strings that got me here.I didn't like the idea and would rather go back to the café but this was the only option for me and I would be here for a few hours, which would be easier to get away from ever
WILLIAM’S P.O.V*NIGHT TIME*The huge waves of stress washed over me, as I practically drowned myself in so much work. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy dealing with so many things, especially since Henry was away dealing with a lot of other things, like having fun with his wife on an all-expense paid vacation.I was so frustrated, he left me to deal with so much work, but at the same time, I knew he deserved it. He had recently just got married, and I would be more of a prick if I let him become a workaholic like me who rarely had time for his private lifeA knock was heard on my door, which frantically distracted me from the work I was doing earlier on. “Come in,” I let out, my voice hoarse as I hadn't said a word in a while.Agatha walked in with the house phone, I was in her hands. “Sorry to disturb you, but it's just that your aunt has been wanting to hear from you. She tried calling your phone, but you weren't picking up so she called me,” Agatha stated.I looked up at her,
BAILEY P.O.V“How're you doing, sister-in-law?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to see Ethan coming in. My heart skipped a beat at that moment, as I wasn't expecting him to suddenly come in.I was also wondering why William didn't mention that he was also going to be involved rather than doing me like this. I knew there was no need to be awkward about it, especially since he apologized, but yet, it's been tough to forget his confession.“Hello Ethan,” Gianna greeted with a cheerful smile on her face. Ethan turned to her with his jaw dropped, as a smile slowly grew on his face. “Gigi,” he shrieked as he pulled her into a hug.I didn't understand what was happening, especially with the fact that everyone seemed to know Gianna, and yet, Williams didn't even want to say a word regarding it, like it felt like they were keeping some sort of secret.“It's been so long. I can't believe you're back now,” he said, releasing her from the hug.She stuck around him like some kind of leech and
BAILEY’S P.O.V"Bailey," I heard Williams's voice call out to me. I woke up to the realization that the plane had already landed. I didn't even realize that we were already in Rome.I can’t believe i am back to Rome.I didn't want to come but Mrs Reid made me, claiming that it would be really fun since there were a lot of others that would also be showing up. Apart from it being a business meeting between whoever they were meeting, it was also her birthday party and she invited us for a stay which means that we'd be here for a week or so. I began thinking, imagining just how my life would be for the few weeks that I would be here without anyone to talk to and I was sure that even Williams would be so busy and it wasn't like he talked to me back at home anyways.But either way, I was excited to be back here, and never would I have imagined that I would one day be traveling the world like this.I was about to carry our bags when William stopped me and then a man walked over to us. "He
WILLIAMS P.O.VI checked my time for the fifteenth time. She should have been here by now but she was just taking up all of my and it was annoying that I had to wait especially with the fact that I gave her enough time to get all dressed up."Why isn't she here yet?" I muttered to myself, getting annoyed with the way she was keeping me waiting.I was about to go upstairs and see what was holding me up when I looked up to see that she was coming over to my side, dressed in the gown that I had given her. She looked remarkable.I was speechless for a moment and didn't even know how to react to that moment. The dress was picked by one of the designers at the store so I had no idea whether or not it would fit her only to get the shock of my life.She smiled at me, walking over to my direction and I found it hard just to close my mouth together as she looked magnificent and glorious in her gown." Are you okay?" She asked, making me jolt back to reality and I closed up my mouth, trying to a
ETHAN P.OV*BEFORE THE TRIP TO ROME*It was so very late in the night so I decided to just crash in William's place just for the night and just staying here was like a way for me to get closer to Bailey. I knew that deep down she must have something for me but was just trying hard to stay away from it because of William.I was going to bed when a knock on the door disrupted my sleep. I groaned out of frustration and got up only to be met with Gianna who looked at me with a small smile on her face.I checked the time and turned back to look at her again, with confusion written on my face as it felt a little diverse that she was here."Um…is there a problem?" I asked, wanting to know her response."No," she answered. " I just wanted to talk to you about something.""Ok, come in."She entered and for a while just wouldn't stop gawking at the room. I've known Gianna for a long time and knew just how much fancy things enticed her a lot so it wasn't much of a surprise.She sat on a chair no
