The Contract

Chapter 150-The Peanut

I took a sip of the apple drink, laying down the can and leaning down the table, I scrolled through on my laptop and that's when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I sang and the door was pulled open, Layla walked in once again with a bouquet of flowers. I let out a sigh, leaning back on the seat.

That asshole.

He was turning my office into an indoor garden, I had multiple vases all around, two bouquet of roses, already waiting here to get shoved into a vase and now here comes another one.

She had a wide smile on her lips as she placed it down on the table. "Mr Ferrari sent this too" she beamed. "Thank You" with that she headed out and I got out the little note from the bouquet.

It read, I'll be heading Qatar tonight.

He is still horrible at notes but it brought a smile on my lips as I placed it down beside. Retuning back to work. It's been a week, yes again.

Today, I wore a long green body con dress, with thin strap hands.

But this week was different, a lot different. Things had settled and now it made sense... even if it was a little. We both were trying to give this whole thing a chance, as inexperience and emotionally unavailable as we were, we were doing our best.

Best as in, curse at each other every chance we get, annoy each other, argue over any little thing, but as he said, that's what we do.

And honestly, I could easily say it was the best week so far. Things had gotten real and I wasn't afraid anymore, it's been just me and him.

As for others, things have been going pretty well. Bella's restaurant refurbishing was almost done and though I haven't been there to see it, she gives me updates here and there, the opening was gonna be next month.

And honestly, why I haven't been to see it is because I didn't wanna interfere, she was in a good place with Derrick and I didn't wanna ruin it with my presence.

Bethany's wedding was in 10 days, and yes, we couldn't wait. We all will be flying down to to Sierra Madre soon. I visited Natalia and Tim last week to see Azalea, you won't believe how big she was now.

Kourtney and Davis have been cute, my solution did fix everything and they were back to normal. The date for the double date has been fixed too, it was gonna be on the 24th—this Friday.

I was gonna invite Travis, though I don't think he would have time, I'll try out my luck though, I was gonna surprise them, I've been mocked long enough.

My phone began ringing by my side and I picked it up, it was Hillary. It surprised me to see her calling, It's been so long, I answered. "Hey girl, did you finally —"

"Pearl, please come to St. Hilda's Hospital" she cut me off immediately, her voice trembling with an edge with it.. I slowly sat up, "what...why... are you okay?"

"Yes, please come, now" she pleaded and I was off my seat immediately. "Wait, St. Hilda's here in LA?" I inquired. "Yes! Pearl, come now!" The call ended after that and I was still confused as shit.

What the hell was she doing in LA?!

I grabbed my jacket and bag and immediately hurried out of the office. "Pearl! Pearl!" Kourtney called and I paused and turned, mid hurrying down the stairs.

She had concern written all over her face. "Where are you going?"

"I'll be back!" I answered, continuing down and hurrying out of the building, Abel pulled the door open and I hopped in, he did too. "St. Hilda's hospital!" I supplied and he immediately drove out of there, sensing I was in a hurry.
