Chapter 20
The next morning you are woken up by your alarm clock. You look at Tom and see that he is still sleeping peacefully. Annoyed, you get up, still wondering why you're doing this. "You're doing this for your mother," you say quietly. As you walk in to the bathroom, you grab some cold water and pour it on your face to wake up a bit. You quietly get ready and get a notification that Tom has his appointment at nine. You call down to the front desk and order breakfast for Tom. After all, you are still working for him, even though he is playing this game with the others. To get some more rest, you go out on the balcony and enjoy the fresh air. You can't enjoy it much, because there is a knock at the door. You hear Tom groan. Your breakfast is brought in and you thank him. "Can I get you anything else Mrs. Holland?", "no thanks", you knock on the door of the bedroom and go in. "What do you want?" he asks annoyed. "Your breakfast would be brought, don't forget your appointment at nine", "Do you have to talk too much from early on?", you slam the door loudly behind you so that he realizes that he shouldn't talk to you like that.
You take the card for your suite and go to breakfast alone. Downstairs you take a plate and have to marvel at the choice. You take the free table by the window and after half an hour you notice a young lady sitting next to you. "Can I sit next to you?", she asks you friendly. You nod to her. "Hey, I'm Mia," she holds out her hand, which you take and shake, "Y/N, nice to meet you." She looks at you with wide eyes. "You're Tom Holland's wife, right?" you nod at her. "I'm Benjamin Richard's secretary" "I'm Tom's secretary too", you laugh lightly. "I didn't know she was still working for Mr. Holland. What's it like working with his husband?", it makes you nervous that you have to lie to everyone you meet here and you already feel bad about it. "Sometimes it's pretty exhausting and it can lead to arguments more often than not, but at the end of the day, we still love each other," you smile at her so she doesn't know that every single word that comes out of your mouth is a lie. You talk some more until you both have to get to work. You go back up to the room where Tom is already waiting for you. "Mr. Holland, I hope you had a good breakfast. Your papers are on the table that you need today," you say to him kindly anyway, even though he was an asshole this morning. "Do we have another appointment today?" he asked you, looking you in the eye for once today. "Just your award sir, the other appointments are in the next few days," he nods and walks out the door then stops and looks at you. "What are you waiting for?", you look at him confused. "You're coming with me to this meeting," he says now and you walk past him.
Yourphone rings, you see that you have a message from Jake. You've told him, of course, that you're in London with Tom right now, which didn't bother him at all. "Just text me when you have time and we'll meet up," you smile at this message and put your phone back in your pocket. "You look very nice in that outfit," Tom says suddenly. You blush slightly and reply with a "thank you", when you arrived at the meeting hall Tom suddenly pulls you to him and kisses you. You are totally confused, but return the kiss. You close your eyes and notice Tom slowly making his hand the direction of your butt. Someone clears their throat and you break away. Tom and you look into each other's eyes and both can't look away. Even though you don't want it to be true, this man is attractive. His whole body is perfect, it's just his character that destroys everything. "I'm sorry to bother you, but we can start Mr. Holland," as you turn around you see Mia grinning at you. "I'll be right there," Mia disappears again as Tom turns to you. He comes closer to your ear and whispers "Don't get your hopes up, there was a friend of mine I told you about", your smile disappears again and you roll your eyes."I know for a fact that you enjoyed kissing me," you look around to see if anyone is here, luckily there was no one, you come dangerously after him so that he can feel your breath on his lips. "I'm not one of your toys and I already told you that. I'm not doing this for you! Not even for me. I just want to see my mom," you walk past him and sit down next to Mia. "This is going to be a boring meeting," she says and you can already tell by the look on her face that she doesn't feel like it. "Something good can always come out of something boring," you whisper to her. When Tom comes in, all eyes are on him. Only when he comes into the room do you get goose bumps. The meeting has been going on for two hours and you haven't had to write much down yet.
Every now and then you notice that a few eyes are on you instead of on Tom, which of course he notices. He often clenched his teeth or rolls his eyes. When already again a few businessmen look at you, he strikes all at once loudly on the table and comes running to you. "Would you please come outside for once?", he asks you and looks at you tensely. "Okey?", "There will be a little interruption. It's going, but right on," Tom holds the door open for you, as the two of you leave the room he pushes you lightly against the wall and looks you in the eye. "I don't like it," "What do you mean?" you ask him, unable to look away from his eyes. "I don't like the way they're all looking at you like they're about to rip your clothes off your body," your heartbeat suddenly speeds up a little. "Can you please go in the room and work there?", you can't get a word out and nod in response. He comes closer to you and you already feel, his warm breath on your lips. "Is a friend of yours here," you ask curiously. Alternately, you look into his eyes and at his lips. "No," he gives softly. "You know we're not allowed to do that." You suddenly have an urge to kiss him. A few hours ago he texted you like this and now all of a sudden he wants to kiss you and you want that too, even though you don't want it. You can't even describe your feelings towards Tom "Says who?"
