Chapter 325 : Never Again
Chapter 325 : Never Again
Bill directly took off his tie and business suit.
He unbuttoned his shirt revealing his sexy firm muscles.
His eyes were caught in his deep thinking.
Many days had already passed when he called someone who he trusted.
"What's up, man!?" The voice over the phone was playful. "What makes the mighty Bill Sky remember
to call me?" Gab Kenley sounded very surprised. When they had to hide from his family, Bill Sky was
the only one who secretly helped him.
Gab and Farrah were living very far away from Capital Z with their baby boy.
"Gab..." Bill's voice was troubled by something. He blurted out his name as a warning.
"Come on, man. What's the problem? Aunt Kelly? The company?" Gab's tone became serious. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
He could not believe his ears hearing Bill was troubled as Bill was always confident smart and capable
of doing things to his advantage.
He never recalled Bill calling him for something like this.
"Nah... None of them." It was a brief answer from Bill Sky. His tone was indifferent.
Though he was wracking his brain too hard, Gab still could not find the answer to his question.
He was like finding a pin in the ocean.
Bill gave him so much trouble just now.
Gab heaved a sigh before he continued. "Come on Bill don't leave me guessing. What's the problem?"
Gab's tone turned very serious and worried.
For a while, a deafening silence was heard.
Bill seemed to contemplate in the other line.
The dead silence was killing Gab.
In the first place, Bill called him but he seemed not ready to share what was troubling him.
On the other hand, Gab understood Bill clearly.
A man of pride and power was not good at telling his weaknesses.
"It's Arabella Jones." A few minutes later, Bill answered. His voice was dead serious like no one could
afford to laugh at him or else something bad would happen.
Then another deafening silence was heard.
Gab didn't know how to react.
His wife Farrah is Arabella's best friend.
The two beautiful girls shared the same cute tricks.
The only difference was, that they fell mutually in love with each other when they first met.
With Bill and Arabella, they fell mutually hated each other.
There was no doubt that Gab was always at Bill's side as he was his best friend and first cousin.
They grew up together and knew him personally.
Aside from him and Marcus, Bill had no other close friends in their family.
"Oh! Okay... I'm all ears to you, man." Gab could only listen. Bill must muster all his courage for him to
be able to share what's troubling him.
"She's annoying." Bill's statement was brief.
His tone was pissed but Gab wanted to laugh.
Trying his very best, Gab controlled it not to offend Bill.
He put his hand in his mouth so no sound would go out but he failed.
Gab's cracking laugh sounded on the phone.
"Gab..." Bill uttered seriously. His tone carried a dangerous warning.
Gab was not afraid of Bill but he had no choice but to carry on.
He had to help his cousin Bill Sky and more or less, he already knew the problem.
"Okay...sorry for that, man." Gab quickly fixed himself. "You have to understand that it was my first time
hearing you saying something about a girl. Worst? Complaining." Gab explained sincerely.
It was true, Bill never complained as he never spent a single minute with his women after sex.
Bill never told this to him but he knew it because he had lots of eyes and ears in the elite society.
As a certified playboy before, these were all his women.
"Bill, cousin... man... One question." Gab was trying to solve Bill's problem like a love guru. He paused
before he continued. "Do you love Arabella Jones?"
Bill on the other line was silent but Gab was a hundred one percent sure that Bill heard him.
Gab waited but he didn't answer.
Fortunately, Bill didn't drop the call.
Bill was clearly confused about his feeling about Arabella.
For a man who didn't know love, Bill would surely have a hard time dealing with his real feelings toward
Arabella.
"Man, Arabella was a decent girl." More or less, Gab knew the issue between Bill and Arabella.
Farrah had shared it with him before especially Arabella's frustrations.
Even though Bill was silent on the other line, Gab knew that Bill was attentively listening to him. "And
any decent woman wanted to be treated decently too, man." Gab continued his preaching. Farrah went
to the supermarket for their groceries while he guarded their little boy who was still sleeping peacefully.
"Man, don't be too harsh on, Arabella," Gab added knowing his cousin's traits toward his women.
Because of his blessed figure, handsome face, and wealth, women threw themselves at him
deliberately. He needed nothing to do. Everyone wanted to please him. Everyone wanted to climb into
his bed.
In other words, Bill Sky could get women effortlessly and Arabella Jones was the first woman who
rejected him.
At first, Gab thought Bill was just affected because Arabella hit his ego but through time, Gab
understood that there was something more.
There was something bigger.
A valid reason for his annoyance.
A valid reason why for the first time his mood was affected by a girl.
Could it be...
Could it be love?...
"Then what should I do to her?" Finally, Bill spoke again which made Gab recover his senses.
He knew it. Bill was attentively listening to him.
"Man, do not push yourself too hard on her. That was a big no-no. There are no decent women who
wanted to be harassed, my dear cousin." In the family, Bill was always the determined one. He gets
what he wanted. Just based on this characteristic, Gab knew the problem was with Bill’s approach to
Arabella especially since she made him annoyed. His cousin Bill would surely do things that would
make her suffer and for Arabella who would never accept defeat, it would be very difficult for the two to
reconcile. Having these thoughts, Gab heaved a deep sigh to release his frustrations.
“Okay, let’s just put it this way…” Gab was trying to find a solution to Bill’s problem as he paused
contemplating if Bill would not kill him after his words. He understood his cousin Bill needed guidance
or else everything would be in trouble. The fact that he called him, Bill was willing to get some guidance
from him. It made Gab proud of himself so he had to say something that could help his domineering
cousin.
“What?” Bill’s tone was deep and impatient.
“Hmmm…” Gab hummed before he spoke. “Confess,” Gab suggested briefly. “Tell her, ‘I love …” The
call was dropped before Gab could finish his statement.
Gab smiled and shook his head.
His cousin Bill was still the same.
Gab just hoped that Bill could find a way to solve his problem.
On the other hand, Gab was confident that Bill could do it as his capabilities were unquestionable.
Is it just a matter of how he solved it?
What kind of way he would use for Arabella?
In a gentle way or the hard way…
Either way, Gab hoped to see progress with these two people and he strongly hoped that they end up
together at the end of their story.
Back in Bill’s room, drops of water on the floor were heard.
Bill soaked himself in cold water pouring like rain blending his sexy firmed muscles and rolling on his
hard torso.
It seemed the water liked all the surface of his body.
It mixed well washing all the burning sensations he felt a while ago with Arabella.
He was terribly cooling himself until he turned off the shower.
His eyes were radiant, his handsome face was so sexy and wild when wet accompanied by his wet
messy hair.
The only thing that covers his sexy torso was a white towel as he strode back to his bedroom.
He got a new set of clothes and threw the old ones into the laundry bin then he came out.
His eyes landed on the woman who was sitting on the couch holding a cup of tea.
The woman was beautiful and had a bright aura.
Her long smooth hair danced whenever she moved.
Her presence made his office home.
His muscles felt relaxed seeing his view.
Bill went to his desk and he started working on his table.
Today, he was scheduled to stay at the house for Adam but the emergency board meeting was urgent.
Since Arabella was here, he won't mind working a little more.
Arabella secretly looked at the man who was busy signing a pile of documents on his table.
He was wearing new sets of clothes.
His newly showered fragrance told her that Bill was already there in his office.
It was very refreshing but her nervousness had always gone wild whenever he was around.
The scene in the room with him suddenly flashed across her mind.
She immediately blushed as she tried to pull her eyes away from him afraid to be caught by him.
Arabella heaved a sigh blowing some strand of her hair away from her forehead.
She just wished to go home and be with Adam rather than stay in his office and do nothing.
Having these thoughts, she wanted to excuse herself but she quickly erased them when she
remembered her words to him earlier.
She would stay until he finished as it was her payment for him for saving her earlier from Mrs. Hansen.
Sipping her tea, her eyes secretly looked at the busy handsome man again.
She hated her eyes for looking only in one direction even though his office was very huge.
It seemed her eyes’ favorite view in this room was the man who was working on his table.
She gulped her tea while sneaking at him.
Arabella could not count how many times she gulped and how many times she sneaked at him.
She just wished Bill would not notice that she was also busy.
She was busy sneaking at him secretly and appreciating his beauty and strong demeanor.
Arabella was sure that lots of women wanted to be in her shoes right now.
Lots of women wanted to be with him in his office.
Lots of women wanted to see him and stare at him the whole day or all day of their lives but that was
impossible.
Bill was a busybody.
He didn’t stay in a public place for more than 10 minutes.
Arabella could not help to feel sorry for these women.
Luckily, she got all the time to stare at him. Her eyes were the luckiest!
After a while, Bill stood up.
Arabella heaved a sigh. Finally, they could go home.
They were already there for 1 and a half hours.
It was already too long for her to be away from Adam but of course, she could not complain.
“Let’s go,” Bill said striding to the exit.
Arabella followed but it bothered her that he never glanced at her.
She did her ‘as If I care’ smirk then quickly walked behind him.
“Goodbye, Mr. Sky.” Again, the three women outside spoke in chorus and bowed slightly.
Arabella looked at Cherrie. Among the three, she was the only one who was wearing a smile for her.
Arabella smiled at her too.
In the elevator, a deafening silence circulated the air.
Bill was still busy on his tablet and she was just behind him.
She heaved a sigh as her thoughts ran wild again.
She could not help to feel sorry for the woman who would eventually end up with Bill Sky.
There was no doubt that the woman would suffer boringness and loneliness with him.
He would surely prioritize his work over his woman.
His woman would just end up like a wall behind or beside him.
Luckily, she was not that woman.
She could not imagine what a terrible situation she was going to have if she was going to be his woman
or a wife again.
‘Never again.’ She promised in her mind.
