Cadence Under Contract
Cadence Granbury is the highly skilled and experienced personal assistant to CEO James Oliver. Their relationship has been nothing but professional since Cadence started working for him two years ago. That is, until James receives an ultimatum from his ailing grandfather: get married or get very little! Unwilling to lose out on the bulk of his inheritance, James does everything in his power to expedite the process of finding a wife. Cadence unwittingly reveals herself to be the perfect marital candidate and James won't take no for an answer. Their marriage contract proves to be quite mutually beneficial.
Chapter 77 - Feeling a Bit Better
Despite resting all day, Cadence still felt quite tired when it was time to go to sleep that night. James made sure she had plenty of pillows to prop herself into the best position. He also brought her more medicine, water, and tea. He even personally applied a fresh coat of Vicks vapor rub to her chest. It might have been quite sensual, what with all the rubbing, warmth, and exposed décolletage. Yes, very sensual if it weren't for the fact of her continuously dripping nose and hoarse coughing fits. Besides her own mother, Cadence couldn't remember anyone taking such good care of her before. James's bedside manner had been distinctly impressive actually. He had even bought her the fancy tissues with lotion in them so that she wouldn't irritate the delicate skin of her nose. With his strong hand softly grasping hers, she fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.
