CEO's Contract Obsession-Chapter 107: Secured and Locked

"Would you not?"

Amy stayed silent at Henry’s question. It was a ’what if’ question that she has no answer to. She doesn’t have to ponder about it when it did not and will never happen in the first place.

But Henry wanted to hear what is her answer about it. It is his fear of losing her that is making him overthink a nonexistent scenario that is driving him mad. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Why won’t you answer me, Amy?"

"Henry, I think it doesn’t matter what my answer is. It didn’t happen and it won’t ever."

"But if it did, will you marry Ash?"

"You are jealous over nothing and you know that," Amy’s patience is running thin with Henry’s illusions but she can’t blame him. She knows where his fear is coming from. It was due to his experiences in life ever since he lost his family, but it’s annoying that it makes him doubt her.

"I just want to hear your answer," Henry insisted.

Amy picked up the marriage contract with Ash’s signature and to Henry’s surprise she slowly tears it apart while looking straight into his eyes until it is bits and pieces. Amy then stood up then throw it straight into the trash bin near Henry’s desk.

"There’s your answer Henry!" She said with a hint of irritation in her voice.

"You know that’s only a copy right?" He sarcastically replied.

"That’s not the point! There’s nothing that they hold to make me marry him. If the time comes that I won’t be able to pay off my loan, then so be it. They can take it. Let their greed eat them alive. I don’t want to be part of it.

And why do you doubt me? I said I love you. It was not easy for me to admit it even to myself. Don’t you trust me?" Amy covered her face with both hands and broke down. The tears that she chased away earlier came back gushing down her face.

Henry did not expect that. He immediately ran to her and hugged her tight.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. I’m sorry, I’m sorry please don’t cry. I just wanted to hear from you that you will not go in that direction. I am afraid to lose you, Amy."

"I chose you Henry, isn’t that enough? I know Ash all my life but still, I chose you because I love you. I wouldn’t be here if I don’t."

"I’m sorry, love. Believe me, it is not my intention. I’m just afraid that one day you will leave me and go to Ash. If that happens I don’t know what will I do. I might kill him. Please don’t cry. I will not ask stupid questions anymore. I believe you and I trust you." Henry hushed Amy as he rubs her back gently.

Amy pulled away to wipe her tears since she already heard what she wanted to hear... his assurance.

"Really? You trust me?" she asked.

"Yes, love, let me make it up to you, please. I’ll do anything you want. Just tell me."

"Anything?" Amy said with a smirk.

"You’re scaring me love... anything... that’s possible in this world... that’s within my power," Henry couldn’t help but think that Amy is planning something from the way she smiled and looked at him.

Amy giggled at how suspicious he looked, "Nothing that you can’t do. I just want your time. You avoided me for three days and three nights. I want a date with you."

Henry was confused, dumbfounded. He did not expect that answer from her. Usually, women will ask for expensive things but then again it is Amy that he’s talking about, his Amy. She wouldn’t want material things.

"A date? Like us going out? I understand it correctly right?" He confirmed.

"Yup, I missed you and hopefully after the task that you will give me tomorrow, we can go on a date," Amy said.

"There’s no task for you this weekend. I was planning to take you somewhere because I miss you too,"

"Oh ok, but this weekend I was hoping you let me choose where to go,"

"Sure, love, anything for you. We can reschedule my plan and do yours first but we need to do mine after, maybe next week because it is already set up."

"Where are you taking me? We are not going to eat again right?" Amy was curious since whenever Henry will say he will take her somewhere, they will always go to a restaurant and she will end up eating a lot and at this rate, she will definitely get fat.

"Hmm... depends on what is your definition of eating."

Amy’s eyes widened. She knows what he means, she was asking about food like a normal person having a normal conversation, but Henry’s mind already flew somewhere.

"Henry! I am talking about eating food, at the table, in a restaurant. Not the kind of eating that you are thinking," Amy protested after seeing the naughty smile on his face.

Henry chuckled at her, "What am I thinking then?"

"I am not sure. You tell me."

’Oops, wrong choice of words,’ Amy thought when Henry smirked at what she said.

Henry turned around and took something from his drawer. A remote control. When he pressed it, the clear glass wall and door dividing their offices became opaque.

Amy’s jaw dropped. She thought that the previous opaque glass was replaced so Henry can keep an eye on her.

"So you have been keeping the glass privacy off, instead of keeping it on? I thought it was completely replaced." It’s only now that she realized that it is a smart glass.

But Henry didn’t reply, instead, he pressed the remote again, and she heard a clicking sound.

"What’s that?" She asked.

"That is the sound of privacy, my love," Henry said as he put back the remote control in his drawer.

"What?" Amy was confused about what is he talking about.

"The doors are now locked it’s the automation that Rei did. So..." Henry walked slowly back to her.

"So? What?" She asked as she steps back until she hit the bookshelf behind her.

Henry pulled her by the waist and whispered, "Everything is secured and locked. Can I eat you now?"

Amy: "...!"
