It didn't make sense earlier but it does now to her. But the question was, why was he calling her? Was it job-wise?

"Damn it! You're even the cause of this." And then he got up again hurriedly.
The laughter came to an end and the smile dropped as well when he said she was the cause.
"Hey. Are you okay?" Destiny couldn't help but ask when Wilhelm came back from the washroom the umpteenth time.
"I wish I had not eaten it." He muttered, taking the seat beside her again.
"Ate what?"
"Oh, you've forgotten? That shit you prepared last night and called it food." He scoffed.
Destiny licked her dry lip

No touchy touchy remember?"He chuckled. "How will they believe?""I didn't come here to prove to the world that I am dating you, Mr. Grey. I only have to prove to Richard.""It's just my hands on your waist." He whispered back. Richard was getting things from the car."No, it isn't. We're going to look like we're up for a honeymoon instead of work. It doesn't look professional. Remember you're the CEO.""Your point is clear. Just keep giving me adorable love eyes and I will return it with a ' deep in love' look.""Huh?""Something like this." He said and gave her an intense smoldering look. It looked so real.

BTBB 28She stared in grave horror as Richard kept throwing punch after punch at Wilhelm and he wasn't doing anything to stop him or even fight back.Still in shock, she didn't know if it was because he kissed her again which was contrary to the rules, or because Richard is here all of a sudden just to catch him on it and kill him.Kill him?Destiny snapped back to reality."Enough Richard!"

It was a cool breeze with just the right speed at first before it turned warm.She rolled to the other side because it was coming directly into her face. That still didn't stop the warm air from blowing on her face.It wasn't just a cool or warm breeze anymore. It was more. Like the air has been mixed with mint and each blow to her face drew her more and more awake.'What if it's not a breeze?' She thought and turned on her back to face heavenward, sighing.Slowly, her eyes opened. It was blurry at first. Those blue-green eyes, long lashes, straight nose, and desirable lips. His face. It was just an inch from hers.

She waves her hand across his face. Did it again and again and when she was sure that indeed he was asleep, she sighed and for some odd reason, waited to stare at him as he snored quietly.She studied all the contours of his face without interruption or he grumbling about not liking to be looked at. Somehow, it soothed her nerves after what happened in the hall.Deciding to stay up so that he could sleep, she went to pick her laptop to write a review on a high school book she read.Then she bought new ones on Amazon and jumped into one whose title and cover captivated her at glance.Hours into reading, she noticed him beginning to stir.

"What? Are you not going to talk?" Richard, who was unaware that they had an audience, asked before following his gaze."Oh." He whispered."Destiny I think we should—" Wilhelm began.She stopped him in time with a stern look and took a walk to his side. "You must be very proud of what you did last night so much aren't you?""I was just trying to have what's mine. So yeah. I'm proud I'm doing it." Richard grinned."Well, news flash, you can try harder because I am never going to leave him and even if he does leave me, you'll be the last person on Earth I will come to if I have to choose again."

Maybe it was good that he left after all. She can finally dress or undress without having to look over her shoulders or hide in the bathroom to get things done.Her body was still pouring out steam when she came out of the washroom but the moment the wind blew, welcoming her into London weather, she wished she had closed the windows.She closed them and rolled the curtains over. She then dropped her towel and walked naked across the room to the dresser.Hell, it feels good to walk about freely.Destiny picked a thin silky singlet top and its matching shorts that barely covered her round ass.She applied a face cream then brushed her blonde hair and held it in a bun.Suddenly, the door opened, and thinking it was Wilhelm, she spoke."Where have your manners gone, Mr. Grey? You can't just barge in? What if I was naked?"She waited for his usual sarcastic smug reply but none came.

Even the gentlest knock by the door sent her flying out of her wits like a scared cat. Knowing who it might be, she exhaled before opening the door.It didn't help.
