A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 75
Henry stood outside of the office building and opened the door for me as Cedrick rolled the car to a stop at the entrance of the building.“Thank you Cederick, Hello Henry, I hope I haven't kept you waiting for long?” I ask.“No, not in the slightest, this way.” He says, leading me to the elevator. I glanced back at the receptionist’s desk, Stacey sat there talking to a visitor or employee, I couldn’t really tell from where I was. I shook my head as I recalled my first encounter with her.We got on the elevator and Henry pressed the button that would take us up to William’s floor. I exhaled deeply as the door closed, taking us up from floor to floor. The door slid open at William’s floor and we walked out, my heel making a clicking sound each time it made contact with the floor tiles as we walked over to William’s office. Henry opens the door courteously for me and I walk in and Henry walks behind me.“You can have your seat on his office chair,” Henry says pointing at William’s offi

The office door opens again and I raise my head from the desk, glancing at Henry as he walks in.“Cedrick is at the entrance. Would you prefer he goes to the private parking lot?” He asks.“Nah, the entrance is fine,” I say, getting up to follow after him. We walk down the hall and I get on the elevator while he stands outside.“Good day, Mrs. Armani.”“Thank you, Henry, enjoy the rest of your day at work and I’ve told you to please call me Bailey.” He gives me a small smile as he waits for the elevator door to shut taking me down to the lobby area before going back to workI sighed staring at my reflection on the elevator walls. I slowly rotated my arm and tried massaging it since it was aching pretty badly.I need to apply that balm again once I get back to Williams's house.The elevator door slides open and I straighten myself as I walk out of the elevator door.“Have a blessed day, Ma’am.” The security says as he helps me open the car door.“Good day.” I greet him as I get in and

I watched him as he made his way over to me rather slowly, compared to the way he usually charged at someone.“I don’t have all the time in the world,” I say with a snarky tone.Why I said that I don’t know.He stops walking. “Do you want my help or not?” He asks and I mumble to myself not answering him audibly.He came to stand directly behind me making me freeze unconsciously, I felt my stomach tighten by how close he was. “I don't want to see you near this room after this now give me the damn balm!” He orders as he stretches his hand.I hand the tube over to him and watch him as he unscrews the cap and squeezes a small amount of the cream onto his fingers before closing it and handing it back to meWilliam has never been so close to me as he is now. Without warning, I felt him place his fingers on my back, rubbing the soothing balm in such a delicate way. Despite the coolness of the balm, I could still feel the heat of his fingers and his hand. He went lower, applying a little bit

I woke up the next morning, earlier than usual, I stretched while sitting up. I slid on my slippers before making my way down to the kitchen, running my hands through my hair lazily yawning. I open the cabinets to get all the ingredients I’ll need to make breakfast. I added some milk, flour, vanilla extract, and 4 eggs into a bowl and mixed them all together to make my batter and I got started making the breakfast“I am slightly worried about Mario and Agatha, they haven't been coming over to work lately, I hope they are fine”, I thought to myself as I flipped the last pancake onto the stack and I cleaned up the area afterward, I placed the plate of freshly made pancakes and a water bottle on a tray to take up to William.I wish he'd go back to work soon.I walked into the room and placed the pancakes on the table beside him, glancing at his sleeping form. William and I have come a long way, from someone who used to be so cold to me to letting me take care of him even if he makes it d

I shut the door behind me and decided to go to the living room, I don’t think I’ve ever stepped my foot there aside when I gave myself a welcome tour. I haven’t even seen anyone here watching the TV, there are so many things in this mansion that William hardly uses. I switch on the TV and settle on the chair comfortably, scrolling on Netflix for what to watch.I finally found a show to watch and settled for it. After a few episodes, I stretched the muscles of my better arm, rose from my seat, and casually strolled off to the kitchen in search of something refreshing to eat while I continued watching the show I’m now hooked on. I pulled the fridge door open, to bring out a juice carton, and poured myself a glass. I pick out a pack of cookies before shutting the fridge door and making my way back to my show.I push the door and almost bump into William, what was he doing on the other side of the door? At least the content of my glass didn’t pour on him this time. He glances at the Item

I woke up the next day, yawning and rubbing my eyes sleepily, I glanced at the time on the clock and it read 6.20 a.m. I quickly realized that William wasn’t on his side of the bed. I reached my hands out to touch his side of the bed, it was no longer warm, which indicated that he had been awake for a while.Argh, don't tell me he was actually thinking of going to work. I can’t win with this manSpeaking of the man, William walks out of his closet, dressed and ready for a day in the office.“Where are you going dressed like that?” I asked even if I knew the reply to my question.He turns to me briefly, not expecting me to be up yet “Where do you think?” He asks as he places his cufflinks on his wrists.“You aren’t supposed to be going to work yet.”“I’m fine. I’ve been away from work for too long. I’ve missed a lot of work, I can’t afford to keep on missing work like this. I have a launch coming up and slacking is not allowed, my father was not supposed to go in my place to that meeti

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
