She held Brian's hands and they both walked into the showroom. "Hey Brian" a man said as he walked up to Brian and gave him a soft hug. "Hey Wilton" Brian replied. Emily couldn't believe that she was standing with Mr Wilton, and did Brian just call him by his name, wow. "Thanks for coming under short notice" Mr Wilton said "Oh and who's this beauty to behold?"

" How dare you lie to my face Elise?, he took advantage of you, but you were the only naked person in the room, I knew you were up to no good, If Nina had not sent me that video on time, who knows what you would have done" Emily said, her voice filled with rage. "What video" Elise said filled with curiosity. "A video of you lacing Brian's drink" Emily said as she brought out her phone, and played the video on loud speaker.

Brian was a bit disappointed, he always looked forward to seeing Emily everyday at the dining table, he had his breakfast and headed upstairs, back to his room.
