You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Chapter 324: Untouched Memories

“Wait for me in the office until I finish,” Bill whispered. His lips were very close to her earlobe that she

could feel the refreshing warmth of his breath. It gave her a chill down her spine. Arabella instantly

opened her eyes and saw Bill smirking handsomely. She blushed as she felt embarrassed with the

thought about Bill was going to kiss her. Even the elevator scene had changed too.

For an inexplicable reason, she felt very annoyed and disappointed.

“Ding!” It was the elevator. It opened and Bill got out first. She followed feeling a bit off as she shook

her head trying to get rid of the unusual feelings she had. As her thoughts ran wild, she just thought

that maybe she was just a little sensitive today because of Jayson. Then she heaved a heavy sigh to

let go of all of her frustrations.

When they entered the CEO’s floor, she saw three unfamiliar figures.

They were sexy hot models but they dressed smart and professional.

Arabella smirked at the thought of Bill’s type of woman.

Surely, he picked and chose these females as his receptionist and secretaries.

No wonder, Bill also had changed.

Bill had already people on the CEO floor.

“Good day, Mr. Sky.” Upon seeing Bill, the three women greeted him in chorus.

Bill just nodded at them casually and when he suddenly realized Arabella’s presence, he stopped.

He held Arabella’s arm. “This is Ms. Arabella Jones. She would accompany me for today.” Bill stated

briefly then he dragged Arabella inside.

Arabella could not feel any happiness by the way Bill introduced her to the girls.

‘Ms. Arabella Jones?’ How Bill spoke her name made her feel so annoyed and it was like a restless

boomerang in her mind. Earlier, when Bill claimed to Mrs. Hansen and the crowd that she is his wife,

she wanted to protest but now that Bill introduced her real name to the girls she still wanted to protest.

What’s the matter with her?

She hated herself for being so sensitive about everything.

Arabella could not understand herself today.

As she was trying to satisfy herself, her inner thoughts were still restless.

‘Why did he claim me as his wife but to the girls I’m just Ms. Arabella Jones?’ She rolled her eyes as

her thoughts went deeper.

‘Why? Is it because they were girls?’

‘Is it because he didn’t want them to know about her?’

‘He didn’t even introduce them to her.’

‘I don’t even know their names!’

‘Are they his secretaries or girlfriends?’

Arabella was walking back and forth along with her crazy jealous thoughts.

She wanted to ask him but she could not. She dared not.

What would Bill think of her if she would do that? Bill would just laugh at her and he would humiliate her

for sure.

‘Arabella stop acting like a jealous wife!’

‘You are not his wife!’

‘Do not let yourself fall into his trap again. Please!’

She was seriously struggling with her messy thoughts until someone knocked on her door.

She felt nervous thinking that Bill was already back.

Bill left her inside and went to the next room for a board meeting but thinking about this, it was so quick

or maybe he left something inside.

Nevertheless, Arabella managed to fix herself on the couch.

She was sitting properly holding a magazine and pretending to read it.

“Come in.” She acknowledged the knock.

Just a few seconds, the blonde sexy woman outside strode inside with a tray in her hand.

Her long hair was neatly fixed in a ponytail style.

“Good day, Ms. Jones. I’m Cherrie… Cherrie More.” The tall woman said politely.

For Arabella, she was the friendliest among the three women as her face had a trace of gentleness and

the rest were so stiff and had a strong persona.

Arabella smiled sweetly and nodded back to acknowledge the woman.

“Mr. Sky sent these to you. He ordered that you have to take this to cure your cough. Should I put this

one on the table, Ms. Jones?” Cherrie asked with a friendly smile.

Arabella could not answer her as her words seemed to be stuck up in her throat.

‘Cough?’

‘She has a cough?’

She frowned trying her best to decipher what the medicine was all about.

Then she finally smiled ridiculously.

She remembered her coughing inside the car with Bill.

All she thought was Bill didn’t hear it as he was not paying attention to her.

All she thought Bill didn’t notice her coughing but he did.

But it was a fake cough!

Her smile had become stiff when she had to accept the medicine.

How could she possibly tell him or Bill’s secretary that it was a fake cough?

“Okay. Please… thank you.” After a moment of contemplating, she accepted the medicine.

“If you need anything Ms. Jones, please do not hesitate to let us know. Should I take my leave now?”

Cherrie was nice as it showed in her smile.

“Yes, please… Thank you.” Arabella was always nicer to those people who were nice to her.

After hearing her, Cherrie nodded at her politely then she strode out leaving Arabella seriously staring

at the medicine in the small-size gold tray.

She had to dispose the medicine immediately if she didn’t want Bill to discover her.

It would surely lead to awkwardness.

She didn’t know that her fake cough would bring her into deep trouble.

As the thought of it, Arabella quickly stood up and got the capsule.

Her eyes saw a trash bin but it was under Bill’s table.

What if he accidentally kicked it and the capsule went out? Oh, that was not a good idea.

In her pocket.

But what if she forgets about it later and Adam or he would find it? No, it was also not a good idea.

After a while, Arabella’s eyes lit up.

She seemed to find the best solution to her problem.

How could she dispose of the medicine?

Flushed in the toilet.

For her, Bill surely had a zero chance to find it.

Then her problem was solved.

Determined about her plan, she strode towards Bill’s restroom but she had a problem again.

Bill’s restroom was inside his private room.

Staring at the doorknob of his private room, Arabella was hesitant to hold it as lots of memories of Bill

and her were inside the room.

Is she ready to see his bed again? Is she ready to see his cozy room again? Or is this room also

changed?

Having this question, Arabella felt her curiosity was awakened.

There was a part of her that wanted to see his private room again.

Perhaps she would comment on the interior design or she would compare it to the old one.

Surely, she would not be disappointed with the change because Bill had the most elegant taste when it

comes to decors and fixtures.

There was no doubt that all his mansions were the grandest in Capital Z and overseas.

Arabella turned around first. Her eyes were vigilant like she was about to do something bad and she

had to make sure that no one would witness her.

When everything was clear, she slowly walked forward and held the doorknob.

She twitched it and fortunately, it opened.

Her eyes were shocked as she walked inside.

It’s been a while, so many years had passed but Bill’s room was still the same.

His king-size bed, his warm cozy lights, the gray carpet, his closets, his glass bedside table with his

lampshades, everything was in the same order.

Everything was the same 7 years ago.

This place was perfectly clean and well-maintained.

It seemed this place was the only untouched inside the Sky’s building.

‘But why?’

She thought she had answered her question earlier but another question followed.

She could not think of anything why Bill didn’t renovate his private room when his office was newly

fixed.

Everything in his office from the table down to his trash bin was all changed.

Now, she was bothered by her question.

Should she ask Bill?

If she would do that, she would make herself embarrassed.

What’s her problem with Bill keeping his private room untouched?

What does it matter to her?

When did she become so nosy about Bill’s personal matters?

Arabella wanted to choke herself for becoming someone she didn’t know.

She didn’t know herself anymore and she wanted to cut ties with her inner self. If only it was possible!

When she clenched her hand trying to get a grip of herself, she squeezed the capsule in her hand

which made her back to her senses.

Actually, she forgot the purpose of why she was inside after seeing Bill’s room.

With that, Arabella quickly went to the toilet and did what she had to do.

The water dissolved the capsule quickly.

Arabella washed her hands, dried them, and went out.

Then she stopped when her eyes caught his bed again.

Memories of Bill pinning her on the bed flashed across her mind.

The way he teased her and cornered her against the wall. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

The torrid kisses they shared in this room.

She felt a bit awkward but she could not deny the fact that there was part of her that was boiling as she

blushed.

An emotion, her heart, or sensations that she could not decipher properly.

‘Arabella get out now. You have to get it now if you don’t want to be caught.’ Her mind was screaming

and reminding her what she has to do.

Arabella quickly averted her gaze from the bed to the door.

She strode her way out but suddenly, the doorknob moved.

She immediately panicked.

Arabella felt all the hair on her body went up.

She didn’t know what to do as her heartbeat was racing so fast like it was going to explode.

She wanted to run away but there was no other way out.

Bill’s door is the entrance and exit of the room.

She wanted to escape and hide but she knew it was too late.

She had no escape anymore.

Arabella stood frozen when Bill’s handsome cold face appeared in front of him.

She faked a smile and was about to say something but her lips were trembling.

She could not utter a single word even how much she tried.

She was lost for words for a moment as the panic in her heart was so enthusiastically working.

“Why are you here?” Bill sounded frowning.

His face was the usual but she could see something in his eyes.

It was unusual of their coldness.

“Ahmmm…” Trying to get her words together, she stuttered when it was very hard to do in her situation.

She felt caught after doing a mischievous act. “I…. I… I actually used your restroom. Sorry if it bothers

you a lot.” With all her wits left, she mustered her courage to answer him with another lie.

“Oh! I see.” Bill remarked simply.

He smirked charmingly.

The frowning faded away in a single second.

His eyes fixated on her while she was avoiding his stare.

“Okay… I have to leave now. Will you excuse me?” Trying her best to gather her cool, she sounded.

Bill’s firm sexy body was blocking the doorway so it was impossible for her to squeeze in just to get out.

“Hmmm…” A brief sound that had no disapproval nor approval.

“Please?” She asked toughly but gently.

For a while, Bill’s orbs didn’t move.

He was looking at her very seriously like he was observing her.

She was flattered and blushed tremendously as she knew his keen eyes were working on her but she

had to stand still even though his eyes made her knees soften.

In the next minute, Bill stepped aside to give her a way out.

It seemed her heartbeat went blank when Bill did it.

She felt a great relief. Her nervousness had sobered up a bit.

Without a moment of delay, she smiled at Bill and said, “Thank you, Mr. Sky.” She nodded slightly and

walked past him but unexpectedly before she could reach the door, Bill’s hand caught her wrist.

Her heartbeat was going to explode.

As their skin touched, the air seemed to turn very cold inside the room.

Arabella instantly shivered with millions of tingling sensations awakened inside her body.

She felt the coldness in the room was drained by Bill’s burning touch.

His palm was very hot.

She felt she was burning inside.

Bill looked at her seriously. His strict eyes met her questioning eyes.

“Mr. Sky?” Trying not to stumble, Arabella asked hiding all her wild emotions and malice.

All she wanted was for Bill would take away his hand and release her.

Bill didn’t answer but his eyes were seriously looking at her.

His expression seemed to have some difficulties.

He was obviously trying not to touch Arabella but he could not hold it anymore.

It’s been a while and he wanted her.

He badly wanted her but he was controlling himself so hard.

He was changing himself but it was too hard with her inside his room.

Because of Arabella and her memory in his room, he secured everything in order and no one had

entered his room except him and her.

“Leave!” Bill released her wrist while sounding strict as he ordered like he was annoyed of something.

Arabella heard him clearly and she quickly walked out with a heavy heart.

His annoyance with her was stabbed in her heart.
