"You can be angry...and frustrated. I won't promise I'll change right away because I won't," he acknowledged. "But I'll work on it."
That's all he allowed himself to say as he brushed his lips against mine one last time and let go of me. With his hands gliding down his dress shirt and pants to make sure they looked less wrinkled from our frisky moment, he looked into my eyes.
"Take the rest of the day off. Go back to the safe house with Jayce. I'm leaving the office soon, but I'll have matters to attend to when I get back. Try to let loose or go train in the ring tonight. We'll have a brief meeting before then."
He moved past me to open the door but paused. "I'm expecting you to wire the money to the bank. You sealed the deal, after all."
Then he was gone as he closed the door behind him. With a frustrated grunt I walked to the washroom, and there was my flustered reflection with a dose of anger.
"I hate him," I growled.
"Hate and love are two different things,"Bria acknowledged."Yet it feels like you mean the same."
I huffed at her words and proceeded to splash my face with cold water. With a sigh, I lifted my head to see I was William now.
"Holy fucking gender swaps. What the fuck is going on?" I hissed and shook my head. Patting my face with the pink towel, I walked to the desk and pressed the intercom for Jayce.
"Afternoon, William."
"We're leaving early. I'm done with this fucking day."
"On my way, Rebel."
I shook my head again at his comment. I lowered back into my seat and leaned back against the leather cushion with my eyes closed.
I need to figure my emotions out or I'm going to self-destruct.
~JAYCE~
"He named your psycho side?"I asked while looking over at William as he tugged on his tie to loosen it completely.
"Yup," he replied. "Willa. Pretty cute. Hmph. I need to take my meds soon."
I watched him unbutton his black dress shirt and I could tell from the annoyed look on his face that something was troubling him.
"Are you okay, William?" I inquired. "You get into a fight with Dimitris?"
He gave me a look that could surely kill, and that was my answer.
"I'm going to shower," he scoffed and was retreating to the bathroom before I could say a word. The slam of the door made me sigh before I decided to figure out what the fuck was grinding William's gears.
Aside from these last two weeks of non-stop mayhem.
Since the confrontation incident with the police, getting some movement on deals was becoming a bit of a pain in the ass. Public apologies and the dumb revolts against the NYPD for being sloppy had only further slowed down our progress in sealing some final deals.
It surely was impacting all aspects of business in the shifter world, since Aurelia had been complaining to Willow the other day regarding some council issues.
All of this was becoming a big pain in our asses because we all knew there was some Vile Queen in our midst who clearly wanted Willow dead, had something to do with the Coven, and from the information gathered from Milo, was someone with a lot of power, hidden connections, and a dungeon somewhere with kidnapped shifters.
Adding the fine details of kidnapping humans and forcing them to change into wolves and we had a big threat hiding within our city. And no one had information on this organization.
A nuisance in the realms of power and business.
Viktor was working on it and found some leads that actually tied to Russia, Dubai, and Germany, but we were struggling to find a connection.
We really had far too much on our plate right now: securing the final residences and candidates for Forbidden Enterprise, securing our finalized deals and financial contracts to land us another trillion to support our grand opening, this apparent royal fashion show that Willow, Dimitris, and now Neo were invited to, and the Vatican was requesting a meeting with us to offer another "deal" that could favor our grand opening.
As if that wasn't fucking fishy.
