Marrying Mary

chapter seven

William had stood there staring at her, he had even noticed the smile she had exchanged with Robin.
He stood rooted in position waiting for someone to sense his presence.
Locating her hadn't been a problem, after he had told the receptionist who he was and who he wanted to see. She hadn't hesitated in giving him the information he wanted.

She turned to face him, with her hands on her lips.
William stood there speechless for a second as he took in the sight of her.
She looked more beautiful than he remembered, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail, he was tempted to let it fall and run his hands through them.
"Hello wifey" he finally said as he smiled.

Mary stood there, he wasn't real she thought.
Just then she saw Betty reach her side and hit her lightly on the shoulder.
"That's William McCain" she whispered into her ears.
"William McCain?" Mary said trying the name on her mouth.
So he was real. She thought. And now he was here.
"He's one of the billionaires we're suppose to be doing an exclusive on, the one who got married in Vegas. You said to give him a page to tell his story" Mary gasped for air as Betty 's information hit her.
Oh no, she thought. She wasn't the wife everyone was looking for.
William stood there smiling, enjoying the expression on her face as the person beside her informed her of who he was.

Mary quickly regrouped and turned her attention from betty to the beautiful man informant of her.
"Good afternoon Mr McCain" she said as she gave him her hand for a hand shake.
William chuckled as he took her hand in his. He had been expecting a kiss as she now knew who her husband is, they will have to work on that.
His hand lingered on hers for a few seconds before he left her.
"How can I help you Mr McCain" she said as she folded her hands under her breast.

If there's one thing Mary was grateful for, it was her choice of outfit today.
She had chosen a black fitted Jean and a blue chiffon top to go with it.
Her heels was comfortable but high 'cause she understood she would have to do a lot of standing today.

"Well, you could start by introducing yourself wifey" he said smiling
Mary bit her lips irritated, she had completely forgotten he didn't know her name. "Mary Cruz"
William had only asked to confirm that his sources where right.

"Well, secondly I'd like you to explain to me why I, your husband have to look all over for you" Mary was taken aback at his next statement.
She turned to look around her and saw everyone staring at them.
She felt her cheeks turn red with embarrassment.
"Well Mr McCain if you don't mind let's talk in my office"
William smiled sensing how uncomfortable she was.
"Lead the way Mrs McCain"
