The Contract novel Chapter 7

Ryan.

I sat down in my office thinking to myself. How dare she walk out on me after she signed the contract? She didn't have to, I didn't force her to anything but she still signed it. My personal business isn't any of her business anyway. I watched as Danielle stepped in front of me with her hands on her hips.

"What's on your mind?" She asked.

"Nothing, just need a break from work." I replied.

She looked at me and sighed, "Ryan, we aren't as close as we used to be. It is always work, work, work. This isn't my wedding, it is ours but I'm the one who's doing all the work. I understand you're a hard working man and your company needs you but sometimes I need you too."

"Danielle, I know and I'm truly sorry. I'm thinking about taking a week off just for you, is that alright?" I asked with a gentle smile.

"That's all I ask." She said while kissing my cheek.

Kendall.

"So you walked out?" Kasey asked.

"Damn right I did, he's married and I just can't see myself doing that Kasey." I replied while sipping my milkshake.

"I don't blame you. He is fine and all but he is truly messed up and full of it for giving you that contract knowing that he is about to be married." Kasey said while shaking her head.

"I know but it is all okay. Everything is fine, I didn't need that. Wanna go to that party on Perry Avenue tonight?" I asked

"Yeah I'll go. I need to go out anyway. See you tonight at 8!" Kasey replied before standing up and leaving.

8 O Clock...

I stood outside waiting on Kasey to pull up. I know damn well this girl ain't stood me up. I need this girls night out honestly. All of this Ryan talk has been so stressful. I just need to go out and have fun.
