Married with no choice

Chapter 12

It was officially launched. The clothing line called 'Vanessa Beckett Gifford' for party wear gowns, dresses and accessories was launched and the sales have been increasing drastically.

"Your clothing line is a huge success Nessie," Will says as he enters my office and I was really happy. Within just 16 hours of launching it, it has been a huge success.

"I know. Thank you so much for supporting my idea," I say as I jump on him and he spins me around. We both were laughing so much that we didn't notice my secretary enter. As soon as Will saw her, he dropped me on the floor and Emma rushes out of the door to leave me embarrassed.

What was wrong with me? Why did I just like jump on him? We straighten our clothes and we blushed.

"I have work to do Nessie. Call me if you need anything," he says as he walks out of my office and I put my head on my desk as soon as he walks out. What the hell did I just do?

"Good morning Gifford's,

This is Hugh Andrews and I am writing this mail to tell you guys about the next round we are conducting tonight. Wear something extravagant," the mail said and I call Will.

"Yeah I just got it too. It's fine, we'll do well," he says and I agree. We disconnect the call and I start working.

"Come in," I say as I heard a knock on my door. I didn't even lift my head up from work but I knew that it was Will because of his cologne's smell. I really like it too.

"You do know that we have to go and get ready for the second round right?" he said sitting in the couch and I forgot about it.

"Shit," I say getting up and gather my things where as he stands and laughs. My hand hits the pen stand and it falls down.

"Great," I mutter under my breath and bend to pick it up but Will pulls me up.

"I'll do it," he says kneeling down and picks my pens up and I smile at him. I take all the files I will need in the mean while and we walk out.

"Let me take it," he says as he takes my files and I look at him strangely. Why was he being so nice?

"Ma'am, I have today's reports from the general managers," an employee said as we were about to leave and I look at him.

"Mail it to me if it's fine. Thank you," I say and he nods and leaves.

"You are a good CEO," Will says as we enter the elevator and I smile.

"What can I say? I learnt from the best," I say smiling and he grins too.

"Wear this," Will says as he points at a glow in the dark ball gown and I nod.

 He helps me zip that dress up and I get on to my make-up. It was a heavy dress but Will helped me. He opened and closed the door for me. He held my dress while walking and I smiled to myself.

"Welcome back everyone," Hugh says and I look around to find everyone dressed heavily.

"Today is a Question answer round," he says and I was nervous. So many couple went on stage and came back down.

It was our turn and Will helps me walk and straightens my dress from behind.

"Thank you," I say and he smiled.

"Let's start. This is for you Mr Gifford. What is your partner scared off?" Hugh asked and Will knew the answer.

"Animals," he said and I wrote the answer down and it was correct.

"Same to you Mrs Gifford. What is your partner scared off?" he asked and I knew it.

"Long term commitments," I say and he shows his answer. It was correct.

"Will you overcome your fear for your partner Mrs Gifford?" he asked and I nod.

"I definitely will," I say and everyone cheers.

"You Mr Gifford?" he asked and Will smiled.

"I have overcome it already by marrying her," he said and I felt happy. I hoped that it was true.

"Let's see if what Ms Gifford said was true," he says and a group of people get few pet animals. Everyone shrieks and my body went cold.

"This is ridiculous, Vanessa doesn't have to do this," Will says as he comes next to me and I shake my head. I walk to the dog nearby. I look at it and I could feel the adrenaline pump in my body. I was so sure that I was going to faint.

I slowly reach for it and touch it lightly. Its fur was soft and I started touching it and I picked up the dog and everyone cheered.

"I did overcome my fear," I say and everyone claps. I put the dog down and Will helps me get off stage. Our round went pretty well I think.

Names of 12 people who were safe were announced.

"Lastly, the couple who had the perfect and highest scores are- the Gifford's," he says and I was really happy. I look at Will and he seemed happy too. Amanda and George were still in the completion, god knows how.

"You overcame your fear for me?" Will asked as we enter our home and I nod.

"I did," I say as I lock the doors and turn around to see Will standing very close to me. He looked into my eyes and leaned in and kissed me. Wow! I didn't expect that.

We kissed and he invited me to his room for the night. I get changed and we sleep because we had a long night. He pulled me very close to him and I felt really happy that he felt the same way as I did.
