MARRIED TO THE OVERLORD
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE.
Early the next morning, Lord Williams had already gotten outta the bed and gotten ready for the day usual while Gabrielle was still cuddled up in bed.
He smi-rked and took out a feather from the bedside drawer. He moved closer to her quietly and began tickling her feet.
She tried to move her feet away but he held them in place.
“Stop doing that Penelope.” She mumbled in her sleep and Williams could only shake his head.
‘you haven’t changed Abit .’, he thought and finally She couldn’t take the teasing anymore and decided to shrug off the attacker but unfortunately Williams knew what she was gonna do and pulled her legs first resulting to her falling ha-rd on her bu-tt.
“Ouch!”she screamed angrily and ru-bbed her hurting bu-tt.
“What the heck man!” She glared at the cold man seating elegantly on the bed staring at her.
He showed no sign of sympathy or remorse he just kept a blank face while staring internally at her.
“You’re gonna be late dearest.” Was the only thing he said and stood up unhurriedly and left her seating there.
‘ugh! I hate him!’ she cursed inwardly and finally got off the floor while ru-b-bing her bu-tt and walked towards the bathroom.
Why did he want her to come with him anyway? She shrugged and began takiandloff her clothes.
Well it’s a good thing he was taking her outside the four corners of the mansion.
She almost screamed out in horror when she saw all the love bites he had inflicted on her pale porcelain skin.
“That imbecile!!” She cursed out loud and angrily turned on the shower and tried scru-b it off but it only got worst.
“Screw this!” She gave up and took a quick shower.
She came downstairs clad in a formal two piece suit which Gabby could tell it was a limited edition, she knew not to ask who got it delivered to her room.
“About time.” She heard the devil’s and rolled her eyes.
He was presently at the dinning having breakfast which consist of pancakes, eggs and broccoli cheese cas-serole.
He patted the chair beside him but Gabby decided to ignore him and sat on a chair across him. He looked directly at ne-ckline but noticed she bu-ttoned up to cover the Hi-ckeys left by him.
“What?” She raised an eyebrow but only smi-rked mockingly and continued to eat his breakfast.
Gabrielle also mimicked him and dug into her breakfast too.
He looked at her and shook his head.
“We leave in 5.” He spoke calmly and Gabby was busy thinking of ways to get back at him.
“What? No I haven’t even eaten my breakfast.” She protested but he paid less attention to her.
“That’s you problem.” His li-ps curved slightly as he ate his breakfast unhurriedly , Gabby couldn’t lie he looked more like Royalty.
“Huff! You’re such a turn off.” She mumbled and stuffed pancakes into her mouth like a hungry buffalo.
Unknownest to them the servants were actually watching the two couples bantering about nothing.
“They look so stunning together. Young master has found his match.” The chef told Godvric the butler who seem to be grinning from ear to ear.
“I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have little Xavier running around the place soon.” The butler winked at them and they immediately un-derstood what he meant.
“I can’t wait to for the house to be filled with kids again. Young master has been throu-ghAlot , just seeing him being open with someone makes me happy.” The Gardener added and they all giggled.
After breakfast they both left the villa and Gabrielle became nervous. He’d told her during breakfast that he was only gonna to introduce her to the board of directors but de-ep down she felt he had more tricks up his sleeves.
A sigh escaped her li-ps as she rested her head against the windshields and stole glances at him but as usual he was busy typing off on his laptop.
“What do you want?” His voice broke her outta her reverie.
“Excuse me what?” Asked still staring at him.
“You’ve been staring at him since we left the villa so spit it out.” He caught her red handed and she had no choice but to say what was bugging her.
“You’re not just going to introduce me to the board of directors right? There’s something else.” She squ-irt s her eyes at him .
“You’re right love I’ve got other plans so relax.” He blurted out and went back to his unfinished work.
“Why do I have a bad feeling about this?” A frown adorn her face as she kept staring at his poker face for answer but unfortunately he was good at hiding his emotions.
“Good you should.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
The ride to the company was awkwardly silent and Gabby didn’t know how to break it for Williams is In work mode and didn’t wanna be disturbed.
‘screw this.’ she mumbled un-der her breath making Williams turn to her with questioning eyes.
She rolled her eyes and went back to staring at the view outside the car.
Williams who saw this smi-rked and continued to work on his laptop and finally the car went into the un-derground parking lot of a building that actually consist of 150 floors.
Gabby couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of the gigantic building.
This was a VIP parking lot for the boss only so there isn’t anyone here except the guards who’d been following them ever since they left the house.
She got out first and he did the same thing. George came outta the VIP elevator and the laptop from his boss after bowing to the boss and boss lady.
Gabrielle could see that he was happy to see them both but she couldn’t un-derstand what was going on.
She snapped outta her thoughts when her hand was taken by a pair of cold ones.
“Stop overthinking.” He whispered close to her and flic-k her forehead.
“Ouch that hurts.” She glared and he winked at her .
George could only hide his embarras-sed face as he was being fed dog food in the elevator.
“Yes it was meant to.” He ki-ssed her cheeks and Gabby could swear she wanna punch him in the face.
“You’re so Fu-cking mean!” She flic-ked his forehead too but to her surprise he didn’t blink nor act like he felt whatever it is she had done.
“I know right? Please don’t do that again you might actually hurt your fingers.” He chuckled softly and Gabby was literally boiling with anger.
“Argh! Imbecile!” She glared at him but he faked a smiled sweetly and held her hand even ti-ghtly.
“Ehn ehn show we head to the board room directly or go to your office first?” George broke the R0m-ntic moment.
“To the board room.” The boss said as his maintained a poker face, Gabrielle would sometimes wondered how he does that every single time.
His eyes would go from Calm to frosty, like the ice king.
The elevator stopped at the 150th floor and George got out first and bow slightly while holding the boss Laptop, the boss walked out while holding Gabby’s hand in his.
The whole Xavier Enterprise was turned into a frenzy when they saw their demon boss holding hands with someone for the very first time in history.
George could already tell by the look on their faces what was going on in their minds.
Gabrielle was beyond nervous as she tried not to look at the workers who were busy scrutinizing her from head to toe, including female workers who think they were gonna have a shot with their boss.
After what seem like forever they arrived at the board room only to find the press and also all board of directors present in the room.
‘oh no this is bad.’ she wanted to run away but his firm hold on her made it impossible for her to move.
He turned to her and brou-ght his face closer like he was about to ki-ss her and whispered into her ear.
“Behave my love, I’m doing this for your sake.” He whispered and pec-ked her cheek before pulling back and made her sit on the empty sit close to him.
The press had already began to speculate on who the lady was to the boss but still nee-ded to hear the gist straight from the horse’s mouth.
They all rise up and bow the boss and his lady boss to avoid getting on the wrong Side.
“Thank you all for coming on such short notice, you may all take your seat.” Lord Williams spoke and turned to his little bug who was dead nervous but trying so ha-rd to hide it .
“Lord Williams what was the reason for the emergency meeting? Does it have anything to do with the mystery lady you came in it? Who is she to you?” They began throwing questions at him and Gabrielle became tensed but Became calm when Williams cold hands covered hers.
He muttered relax to her and she immediately calm down.
“One question at a time.” He said firmly and they all quiet down.
“Lord Williams why the emergency meeting?” A female reporter asked first.
“To announce something important.” He gave a short reply as always.
“Is it about the mystery lady you came in with?” Another question was thrown.
“Yes and that mystery lady Is…”
