CHAPTER 12 She doesn’t Mind
A knocked on the door made Anders awake and whimpered while he was lying down on the bed. He opened his eyes and smiled as he remembered what happened this morning and a smile was drawn on his face. He moved his arms beside him but felt no one was beside him.
“Emily?” he was confused about the disappearance of the woman that he had shared with. He called her name but no one answered him then, he sat down with a heavy feeling and wiped his face with his one hand. He saw a note on the table beside the sofa and out of his curiosity, he read it.
I’m sorry Mr. Winston for the trouble that we had. I was just drunk. I wish to never see you again. –Emily
His brows furrowed and crumpled the piece of paper on his hand. His jaws were clenching while his palms were trembling with madness.
“This is bullshit, Emily!” he exclaimed. “Leaving me was the worst thing you did.” He said and stood up with a serious face. It was the first time for him to be left alone by a woman without his consent. He put on his shirt as David kept on knocking at the door then he opened it, and he saw his assistant.
“What!?” he asked and showed annoyance to him.
“Sir, Miss Emily left early this morning.” He said worriedly. He looked at Ander’s face and saw darkness on it.
“I know, just a normal routine.” He said to David and was acting up like it was a normal thing for him.
“So, what’s the schedule today?” he continued.
“Yes, today at six in the evening we’ll have dinner with the Smith to discuss their proposal.”
Anders was surprised when he heard the name, Smith. He faced David and curiously asked,
“Smith? You mean..” he did not continue his words and thoughts were now in his mind.
“Yes, Mr. Anders Emily’s parents were here. There was an emergency at their company, the reason why they came back earlier than expected.” David explained to him.
Anders smiled like a devil as he got a chance to get closer to her. “I want my coffee and the documents needed for the meeting later,” Anders said and went out of the room together with David.
“Right away, Sir. Is there anything else?”
“That’s all for now, David.” He said calmly and walked towards the hallway to get inside his room and to change his clothes.
As Anders shut the door of his room a devilish smile was plastered on his face. He did not expect that this would be that easy for him. He did not need a private investigator to find her, but her parents were her gateway to Emily.
He went into his walked in closet and checked every clothes he had but none of it would fit his mood for tonight. So, he called David and asked him to get a new pair of clothes for tonight’s dinner meeting.
“See you soon, Emily Smith,” he whispered while looking at himself in front of the mirror.

“What the heck Emily Smith!” Jane exclaimed while her eyes widened as she heard the story of Emily.
“Are you out of your mind! You had …” Jane wasn’t able to continue her words as Emily hurriedly cover her mouth.
“Hush! Lower your voice, Jane. There are too many people in here.” Emily said and looked around at the coffee shop. She expected the reaction of her best friend, that’s why she was attentive to cover her mouth. Now, that she was exposed to the media and other people as well. Emily was now being careful with her actions as she did not want any more trouble related to Mr, Winston.
Jane tapped her hand and moved closer to Emily. Her curiosity was feeding the cells on her brain. “So, should I say congratulations? Or happy hell day?” Jane said while nodding her head in front of Emily with a wide smile on her face.
“Just shut up. Okay? I will never show up myself to him, AGAIN.” Emily said while stirring the coffee on the table.
“And what about your class with him?” Jane said and crossed her arms.
“I’ll drop out and will tell my parents that I can’t do it. Done.” She said while raising both hands in the air.
“I’m pretty sure he’ll do something to get near to you.” And she shook her head then forcedly smiled at her friend.
“He won’t. I’m telling you, Jane, I was just a woman… I mean one of his women that he slept with and that’s it.” then Emily sipped her coffee to make herself awake and have energy.
Emily felt tired after she had a steamy night with Mr. Winston. Her legs were shaking as she woke up first than Mr. Winston and hurriedly went out of the room to go home. Until now she felt sore in between her thighs. She felt ashamed about what happened this morning and couldn’t even imagine what she did this morning.
Jane snapped her finger in front of Emily’s face. Her lips form an upward line when she saw her friend being out of herself.
“Stop daydreaming, Emily! I know that you like what happened this morning but can we please let’s go home. I need to see my mom and dad tonight.” Jane said and raised her brows.
“Yeah, right I’ve got a dinner meeting tonight at six in the evening,” Emily said.
“Are you sick?” Jane asked confusingly
“No.” Emily shook her head.
“Aw..” Jane said and hugged her friend. “My gosh! You are responsible now! I’m just proud of you, Emily.” She continued and they both walked outside the coffee shop.
Emily booked a taxi for herself to be able to go home, while Jane would be fetched by her boyfriend, Sam.
They wave goodbye to each other and Emily was left alone in front of the cafeteria. The taxi didn’t take long to arrive so Emily gets in and closed her eyes.
“I need to sleep first,” she whispered to herself.
The taxi stopped in front of their house in an exclusive subdivision in the city. Emily opened her eyes and saw their house. She got off the taxi and walked inside the house.
She went inside her room and was about to take a shower when her phone rang. Emily answered it without looking at the screen of her phone.
“Hello?”
“Baby, don’t forget the meeting tonight. They will be going to discuss with you everything about our new venture.”
“Mom, Don’t treat me like a kid, I know what to do, so calm down,” Emily shook her head and pouted her lips.
“Alright. So your Dad’s secretary will be there before half-past five. He’ll discuss to you all the details about the meeting.”
Emily looked at the clock hanging on the wall and saw she had only three hours to prepare herself. She put her palm on her forehead and was quite stressed because of the time.
“Yes, mom. Bye. I love you.”
Emily slept on her bed and set her alarm so after an hour and a half her alarm. She shouldn’t make a bad impression on their clients as she knew how important it was for her parents.
After half an hour, a bussing sound of her alarm woke her up and quickly went to her walk-in closet, she chose an elegant but sexy type of clothes.
“Mom said it will be a dinner meeting. Hmm.” She whispered while checking her closet and having second thoughts on what she would wear for a meeting.
A semi-fit black dress caught her attention, she tried it and to her surprise, it was perfectly fit on her waistline too. The length was above the knee and the sleeveless of the dress made her skin reveal itself.
Then, some accessories to add on her outfit for tonight and some curls to her long blond hair.
“Perfect!” she whispered.
After a while, she decided to go downstairs as Mike was waiting for him.
While she was stepping down the stairs Mike stood up and looked at Emily as if it was his first time to see her.
“Hey, Mike!” Emily greeted him.
Mike shook his head and didn’t notice that Emily was already in front of her.
“Evening, Miss Emily… Y… You look stunning.” he stuttered
“Thanks, Mike.” Emily smiled and accepted his hand to put it on his arm and they both get into the car.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
After spending an hour in the traffic, Emily was worried about the meeting.
“Mike, please inform them that we’re almost there and the traffic jam was quite serious on the road,” Emily said.
“Yes, I already leave them a message about our situation now. Calm down, Miss Emily. We’ll get there soon.” Mike smiled at Emily, trying to calm down her nerves.
Emily nodded and looked at the window. She saw a lot of people waiting for any kind of public transportation so that they could get home to their families.
“Mike, have you been in a poor area in the city?”
“Yes, Emily. I leave in poor areas, there with my grandparents.”
“Oh sorry to hear that. I mean I have no intention to offend you but I was wondering about their life.” Emily sincerely looked at Mike and both smiled at each other.
