Chapter 437 William and Hayden （38）
Holding her breath in the stall, Hayden could only listen in silence.
Confused by William's response, the colleague finished his business after washing his hands and walked out without further conversation.
The moment the colleague left, William knocked on the stall door.
Upon hearing her colleague's steps recede, Hayden relaxed and opened the door, intending to slip out and leave. But before she could, William quickly slipped inside and locked the door behind him with a soft bang.
"William, what are you..." "Mmm!"
It seemed like enough was never enough for him. Before Hayden could finish her astonished remark, William's hand was back cradling the nape of her neck, bending down to kiss her passionately.
Fearing that another colleague might walk in, especially since the restroom door remained unlocked this time, Hayden had little choice but to submit to his advances, not daring to resist or make a sound.
William held Hayden close in his embrace until she completely collapsed against him, gasping for air, and only then did he loosen his hold.
"You... How many women have you been with before?" As she was released, Hayden slumped into his arms breathlessly and asked.
With one arm wrapped around her to keep her from falling, William tenderly cradled her blush-stained face in his other hand and pressed his forehead against hers, his voice husky, "Would you believe me if I said you were my first?"
Hayden glared at him, feeling the heat from his body seep through the thin fabric between them. She struggled to put some distance between them.
"Don't move, or I might not be able to resist doing something right here..."
"You wouldn't dare!"
Before William could finish, Hayden had raised her hand to cover his mouth.
William laughed, holding her hand and kissing it gently, "Then don't move. Just let me hold you for a little while longer."
Feeling totally embarrassed but indeed calming down, Hayden stopped fidgeting.
She needed a moment to collect herself; not only was her breathing and heartbeat erratic, but her face also felt incredibly hot.
Pulling away from William now would mean she wouldn't be able to stand on her own.
Looking at the woman who had quieted down in his arms, William felt immense satisfaction and happiness. He smiled, hugged her tighter, and rested his chin on her forehead. Then he closed his eyes and took deep breaths, savoring her scent and allowing his body to settle gradually.
Throughout this time, several people came and went, sometimes conversing. Still, within their little enclosure, it felt like a separate realm, undisturbed by the outside world, immersed only in each other's breaths and heartbeats.
Eventually, when it was quiet outside, Hayden gently pushed William and whispered, "You go out first."
"Okay." He let go of her, kissed her forehead lightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's okay if someone knows."
With a tender nod from Hayden, William smiled again, then fully released her and opened the door to leave.
...
Upon reaching the entrance, he checked to make sure no one was coming before he signaled for Hayden to come out.
Hayden hurried out of the men's room, and before William could catch up, she quickly entered the women's restroom to change her clothes and makeup.
William watched until she disappeared into the doorway of the women's restroom, then he turned and made his way back to the office.
Inside the women's restroom, in front of the washbasin, Hayden looked at her reflection in the mirror, still somewhat in disbelief at everything that had just transpired.
Had she completely given herself to William?
No matter William's promises to her, she felt they would last a lifetime.
Since falling in love, she resolved to love fiercely and blissfully, just for herself and no one else.
...
Hayden had finished her feasibility report, and after leaving the restroom completely composed, she handed the report over to William.
Ever since leaving the restroom, William had not looked at any other female colleague, much less shared intimate moments with Catherine.
The moment he received Hayden's report and looked at her, his eyes were filled with pleasure and a warm intensity that made her heart skip a beat with just one glance.
After handing over the report, Hayden hurried back to her desk.
William watched her return to her desk and then started to go through her feasibility analysis. For an intern who was an absolute newcomer, Hayden's report was truly impressive.
However, compared to a seasoned employee, there were still issues to be found.
Addressing her report, William typed swiftly on the computer, meticulously noting down every issue and suggestion for improvement, and then emailed his feedback to her.
Hayden opened the email with surprise. The problems and suggestions, listed in different colors, were clear and straight to the point. His analysis was so precise that it commanded instant respect.
His work ethic was so serious, meticulous, and high-standard. No wonder Catherine praised him without reservation.
Following William's suggested revisions, Hayden meticulously made changes to her report and sent it back to him.
William read it over and smiled with great satisfaction.
Hayden's aptitude and talent were undeniable, and she would surely thrive if given the chance.
Nonetheless, considering her current family situation, William couldn't help but worry for her.
