Tanner's Tormentor 🤍 Billy/Babe

Chapter 7 ~ secrets ~

When they finally arrived at Will's company they went straight up to his office and Tanner greeted the secretary with a beaming smile which pissed Will off greatly. Now it was his turn to sulk as he went inside his office and closed his door with a little too much force only to sit fuming when he saw them both with their heads together plotting something.

Tanner was asking her to gather the details of all the interns for him on the down low, he didn't want to mention it to Will unless he had solid evidence. 

He couldn't explain to her why he needed their details so instead he led her to believe it was just about researching the kind of people who were coming into the company so he could improve security for all concerned.

The secretary was more than happy to help so Tanner went to the staff kitchen to get them both a coffee and Will was getting more irritated by the second, so where the hell was his coffee? had Tanner forgotten that he was the person he was supposed to be taking care of. 

Looking at his computer screen he tried to focus on reading his emails but his eyes kept snaking back to the couple in front of his office. They chatted quite happily and every so often one of them would laugh until Tanner suddenly turned his head as if he knew he was being watched and looked at Will directly, his expression changing to one of exasperation.

Was Tanner angry with him and if so, why?

Shaking his head as if to clear it, he began scrolling through his emails again and this time managed to reply to a few before making some phone calls. Afterwards he got up to make himself a coffee, it was a shame he didn't need to go to the staff kitchen, he could have made some sarcastic remark in passing about earlier.

He was just adding creamer to it when his cell phone rang, it was an old school friend who was coming to Bangkok for a few days and wanted to meet to catch up. They made plans to get together at the weekend then laughed as they recalled some of the fun times they had both shared.

Tanner heard Will laughing and looked through the glass at him, he was curious as to who he was talking to. Will must have felt Tanner's eyes on him because he looked up and seeing Tanner watching him, he turned his back,

'yes, two can play at that game' he thought to himself.

He chatted for a while longer before ending the call then looked up as his secretary knocked on the door before coming in, it was that time of day again. She took a seat while he checked through the letters which needed his signature then he handed them back while telling her she could leave for lunch.

Again she offered to bring something back for Tanner and again he refused. Will felt as if he was hiding something, he didn't know what but there was definitely something. 

After a while, Tanner knocked on Will's door and asked him if he was going to have lunch?

"I'm not very hungry, you go and get something for yourself" Will said.

"I'm not supposed to leave you alone Will, you know that" Tanner said.

"don't worry about me, if it makes you feel any better I'll lock the door until you get back" Will said.

"is anything wrong Will?" Tanner asked.

"I could ask you the same thing?"

"why would you say that, what's on your mind?" Tanner asked.

"well for a start, why were you glaring at me earlier on?" Will asked him.

"glaring, why would I do that?" Tanner denied.

"ok, it never happened, I'm making it up the same as I'm making it up that you brought coffee for yourself and my secretary but didn't bring one for me" Will said.
