Almost two weeks into being the contract wife of her former boss, Bianca found it wasn't nearly as terrible as she'd imagined. Life with Adrian was actually… kind of enjoyable. The more she got to know him, the more he kept surprising her. They spent their time together peacefully, with Adrian often busy at the office while she had the apartment mostly to herself.
Take now, for example, after a long, non-stop flight of 7 hours and 10 minutes, Bianca was visibly exhausted. Adrian, noticing this, had told her to sit on one of the waiting benches at the airport while he went to buy them drinks.
"Here," he said, handing her a cold frappuccino from Starbucks. "It's hot, so I figured you'd want something chilled."
That simple act of kindness made something flutter quietly inside Bianca's chest. "Thanks," she replied, a small smile tugging at her lips as she accepted the drink.
"Hmm," Adrian hummed, sitting down beside her.
