A few minutes after Rosaline hung up the phone, she woke up disoriented.She immediately remembered the events from the night before while drinking water, which made her smile.She habitually checked her phone only to find William’s text which made her smile wider.Making a mental note to control her expressions, she freshened up and got ready.She opted for a white t-shirt, jeans, loose hair, and no make-up.When William arrived at their place, he was surprised to see her awake and dressed. He exclaimed, “You did wake up!” Rosaline rolled her eyes.William exaggeratedly sighed.“I was hoping to see your half-wake drowsy face. What a pity!” “Hahahaha” This made Rosaline laugh out loud, which had him spellbound as always. He snapped to reality and gave himself a mental thumbs-up for being able to control himself. “Here, take this!” He handed her a basket with fresh coconut water.“Why do you always bring this?”“This is good for health, helps with hang-over, and freshens up a lot.

William cleared his throat and asked.“Shall we leave?”Rosaline came back to her senses and nodded.“Oh! Yeah. Sure. Let me wrap this up real quick.”After chatting pleasantly during the 40 minutes drive, William brought her to a cafe outside the city.Rosaline was confused as this was different from the places they usually visited.“This is?” She inquired. “It’s a surprise. After you,” William gestured for her to enter. The shabby-looking place was even worse from the inside.But William led her to a door in the remote corner.Unexpectedly, it opened up to a staircase that led to a very comfy buffet. “Wow!”“I see you like it,” William smirked.Rosaline ignored him and asked, “How do you know this place? I have never heard of it.”“That’s because you did not go to military school.”“Excuse me?”“This was opened by an alumnus of the AJ military school. He is a coach there and opened this as a hobby.”“Strange hobby.”“He and his wife both like cooking, and so does his son. He had

Rosaline curiously asked.“What are you thinking about?”William shook his head.“I’ll tell you later.”“You are being weird today.”“Really?”“Uh”“How so?” “I’ll tell you later,” Rosaline replied with a smirk.That had William laughing out loud, a sight that made Rosaline’s heart itch.“Anyway, what exactly did you have in mind regarding your proposal earlier?” Rosaline felt something was missing as William sounded like he had wanted to give her something in the name of compensation.She could not figure out how it tied to collaboration with his company.“If interested, you can register a company in your name. You can use the AR mansion as your office premises while registering.”“I wanted to give you a piece of land close to that area to build your office in the future when you are ready.”Rosaline was speechless.“Are you kidding me?”“Why would you think that?”“Any piece of land around 5 miles from that area is exorbitantly priced. How could that be compensation?”“The way I s

William smiled at her reaction and closed in to kiss her. Rosaline closed her eyes when she felt his lips slowly brushing hers. He kissed her gently, pecking her all over her lips without breaking contact. When he did not feel any rejection, he slowly licked her lips, which made her tremble in his arms. He paused as she reached out to grab her shoulders.When she did not push him, he continued to trace her lips slowly with his tongue.Rosaline felt weak on her knees and tightened her hold on his shoulders.Satisfied with her reaction, he smiled at her lips and began to suck them gently.Alternating between her upper and lower lips, he continued to suck them tenderly. As if he was caressing the most precious treasure in the world. Rosaline’s hands went from his shoulders to his neck as she leaned further into him.Her legs felt like jelly, and she would not be standing without William holding her up. Relishing the kiss, she tried to respond by slowly sucking his lips back.William

The next day, while Rosaline and William were working in his house, Tessa called asking to get something for uncle Burber Kevin.So William sneaked Rosaline back to Tessa’s hotel before driving to a mall while being followed. Rosaline and Tessa had decided to help Uncle Kevin with his joint, but after discussing it for days, they came up with nothing. “Hey, Tess and I were renovating Uncle’s burger joint. Do you perhaps remember the layout of their place?”“I think so. What do you have in mind?”“We were thinking of renovating his place and renaming it with his wife and son’s name or something meaningful. We have been discussing it for ages and coming up with possible plans. But we are out of ideas as we both know he won’t agree to let us work for him or take so much as a dime from us.”“Hmm. Let me think.” “How about you do it without telling him?”“And how are we supposed to do that?”“Well, for starters, you could send him away and trick him into it.”“I guess we could tell him t
