The Contract

Chapter 41 - The influencers

"Hillary, where the hell are you?" I asked and she giggled. "Paris"

"Bitch!"

"Okay, hear me out! Remember I said I had a branch there" she reminded. "Of course you did or maybe you're there because of a certain... Justin!"

She laughed. "He's so sweet, he invited me to one of his shows and I couldn't turn it down "

"Of course you couldn't. I'm happy for you though, how's your Mom feeling about this?" I asked. "She's dying to put a label on it but we literally just met. There's no label yet"

"Just enjoy it now, I'll advise "

"How's marriage treating you? How's Travis?" She asked. "He's fine, we moved into our house few days ago"

"That's wonderful, y'all literally ran away after the wedding. How's the moon?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.

"The moon was good "

"Did you get boring after marriage? Girl, details!" She insisted. "Why is everyone asking for that?" I asked and she laughed. "How's work?"

"Umm...I have a wedding to attend today"

"One of the perks of your job" she replied. "Actually... it's not all butterfly and roses. Remember I spent the last month planning mine"

"I understand and I've been getting lots of clients after the wedding. The dresses are selling, I've been getting lots of requests"

"One of us had to profit out of this shit" I replied and she chuckled. "Anyways, I gotta go get coffee, I don't feel human" I said.

"Of course, bye Mrs Ferrari" I chuckled as the call ended. I got up and walked to the mirror, I wore a light pink silk short and matching top.

I pulled my hair into a messy bun and put on my footwear before heading downstairs. "Good morning, Mrs Ferrari" Williams greeted.

I shot him a smile and got down the stairs leading to the kitchen, there was Jeffrey. He helped me down. "Thanks " I walked into the dinning and paused when I saw Travis.

He was in a suit pant, white long sleeve shirt and black vest buttoned over it. He had a newspaper in one hand and a little mug in the other.

He looked up at me. "Morning" he said, turning to the next page on the paper. "Didn't expect to see you here" I walked forward and Evelyn handed me a cup of coffee.

"Thank you" I shot her a smile before taking the seat opposite him. "I'll be leaving soon" he replied and I took a sip of the coffee.

Glancing out, I took in the view. It was a beautiful morning, the little garden was a glistering green, I smiled and took another sip from the mug.

"The ride is ready, sir" William walked In and informed. Travis sighed and dropped the papers before getting up. He grabbed his blazer jacket and suitcase. "I'll be back late" he informed and I only shrugged in response.

He headed out with Williams. At least, we didn't have to pretend to be a real couple in the house. "Okay Evelyn, what do we have for breakfast?" I asked and she smiled.

The doors swung open as I stepped out, taking in the breathtaking view of the wedding venue. I sighed softly. I'd arrived early at the resort, where the ceremony was set up outdoors.

The theme-light pink and white-was elegant and beautifully executed. Every detail seemed meticulously planned.

"Welcome, Pearl," members of my team greeted warmly.
