100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 41: FAMILY TIES
"Is there anything else you will need Ma'am? " Will asked Emma’s mother who sat on the couch sipping the tea he just made for her. She wrapped herself in a shawl and declined Will’s offer. The man had done more than enough for her and her husband since Emma’s departure. "Thanks for everything. God bless you my boy. " Pearl told William as he stood in the parlor, looking around to see if there was still anything left to be done. “Don't mention Ma'am. " he replied. "I'll check whether the guys I asked to clear the shrubs behind are done. " Will told Emma's mother before dashing out of the living room. "Such a good young man. " she acknowledged. Ever since Emma left, he had stepped in acting like the son or rather son in law they never had. Pearl missed Emma terribly but she knew her leaving town was the best and fastest way for her to heal yet it didn’t stop her from feeling the way she did. Her husband Emma's father had tried to console her explaining how important it was for their

Judy examined the well sealed tomatoes in their transparent pack. They looked perfect and their freshness was evident. Every ingredient must be perfect. She thought. She placed some vegetables in her shopping basket alongside a salmon and some spices. She ensured she left the grocery store after getting everything she will be needing. She carefully selected the ingredients paying attention to their freshness and she checked the expiry date of the packaged items she bought. She had never been so cautious while shopping until now. "Good morning. " She greeted Frankie after he had opened the door for her. His attention quickly drifted to the plastic bags she held. "If you won't let me in them help me at least. " she told him with a smile and Frankie quickly collected the bags from her. They got to the kitchen and Frankie was soon placing the things in order. "I'll take it from here Frankie. " Judy said. Frankie stood staring in confusion without uttering a word to her. "You can go

Will woke up earlier than usual. He was already up before his alarm clock could sound the signal. It was the day he will be reporting for duty at the Dan Delivery Services. He freshened up and was soon dressed in his work uniform with the inscription DDS boldly written in the back. He placed his wallet in his pocket and a DDS identity card with his name on it was around his neck. He made noodles and ate it before mounting the delivery bike given to him a day earlier. As Will drove to the Dan Delivery Services main office, he wondered how his first day at work will turn out. He recalled his first day at work in Emma’s house. He wasn't bothered because all he had to do was drive his friend around whom he was well accustomed with. Sometimes, he drove the few domestic staff on errands in Gideon's mansion. Today, he will be driving supplies instead. He prayed in his heart that his first day turns out easy as he intends to please whichever receiver he was delivering to. He pulled his bike
100 Days With Mr Romero Chapter 44 : DEAREST MOTHER VISITS
Gideon flipped through the files on his table, trying so hard not to think about Emma and his little son he had lost because of his negligence. He was more than devastated after Emma’s departure and Ryan’s death. He’d been staring at this particular page of his document yet he couldn’t understand the words written there, his mind was far far away from work. Suddenly the door to his office was open and in came a woman, she had her grey long hair tied in a bun, glasses covering her almond eyes and a hand bag was slung over her left shoulder. “Mom?” Gideon asked surprised to see his mother at the entrance of his office. “Mom!” He yelled again as he got up from his seat and rushed to embrace his mother. Catherine hugged her son briefly and detached herself from him, stylishly removing imaginary dust from her Christian Dior customized gown. If Gideon noticed this, he didn’t show it. He was used to the lack of affection from his mother. This incident was nothing new. But each time his mo
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 45: HOT GUY
CHICAGO:Emma adjusted the rope that held the apron around her neck. "I don’t have to choke to get the work done." She muttered as she reduced the tightness of the rope a little bit. She looked gorgeous and had packed her blonde hair in a dough form. In her bar attendant uniform, she gazed around the busy atmosphere and her mind travelled to days spent at Gideon's bar in New York. It was always filled up and the noisy environment was as exciting as the club she was now working at. Just like Gideon's club, this place was lit and the warm expressions spread on the faces of the customers proved how much they loved the place. She smiled at Ellie her co-worker and now friend who was passing by with some tray of shots. She cleaned her forehead with her hand towel and resolved to clearing the empty glasses spread around the table before her. She was glad she had taken this job. Not only will the income help her fend for herself, she will also save to further her studies which she stopped
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 46: A NIGHT AT THE CLUB IN CHICAGO
Emma looked at the mirror and kept marveling at the image projected by the glass. Her recently acquired flat belly and tender skin coupled with the thin figure she had, made her marvel over the wonders that could be achieved in a month at the gym. Since last month, she had taken her work outs seriously and went to the gym daily. The diet also helped. She knew it. She wondered why she hadn't visited the gym or placed herself on such diet after having Ryan. "In few months to come, I'll be the Emma I used to be”. She assured herself and smiled in the mirror feeling her tender skin and rubbing her flat belly. She was practically looking hot and sexy and of course, she won't she promised herself not to relent in her exercises. She slipped into her skimpy brown sleeveless dress and thought of releasing her hair. ‘Always in a dough’ she muttered as she loosened her beautiful blonde hair which fell unto her shoulders. She oiled it and combed it and her hair was soon glowing. She reddened h

Emma walked into the clothing store downtown. She felt she needed new dresses especially now that her body was altering exactly the way she wanted it. She wandered inside the store and suddenly her attention was drawn to a sleeveless red top which hung on one of the clothing hangers by the corner. She quickly grabbed the top and went to the large dressing mirror in the store. She imagined how beautiful it would look on her and suddenly someone whispered into her ears saying "It will look perfect on you. " She was immediately frightened and turned around to see who it was that made her feel this jumpy. It was Mr. Arrogant as she had been referring to him lately. “You scared me to death. " she revealed panting heavily. "Did I?" He asked still standing so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She quickly took few steps back. “What are you doing here? " she inquired. "Are you following me? " she further asked then resolved to check him out. He wore a classy blue jean

"You don't like the salad." Emma told Mr. Arrogant. He smiled halfway and nodded in affirmation. Emma was right. He despises salad. "You should have ordered something else. Why must you eat what I ordered in the first place? " asked Emma after sipping her glass of wine."I was just trying to be a gentleman. " he said. "So you'll deny yourself pleasure to satisfy a woman? " she asked him starring into his eyes. He relaxed his back on the chair and said "It depends on the woman. " "Or maybe women. " retorted Emma which he laughed lightly. "What gave you the conviction that I will show up tonight Emma asked him. "I don't really know. My hopes were kinda high and I believed you will show up. " he said wiping his mouth with a napkin. "And you turned up. You didn't disappoint. " he added. "And if I didn't turn up? " she asked again. "I'll reschedule and might turn up at your gym class tomorrow with a new invitation. " he said. "Jesus! " marveled Emma. "You've been tailing me for

Emma woke up and began coughing out loudly. The handkerchief tied around her mouth was loosened and she could feel how sore her throat was. She carefully opened her eyes. She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar. Then the man gradually stood up and approached her. Emma immdeately recognized him and she gasped in surprise. "Will? " she called out to him. He walked closer to her, smiled at her then bent down to where she was on the floor and caressed her face. "What are you doing here? " she asked him looking around the whole place. She was in a place that seemed like an underground. Will immediately broke out laughing and Emma stared at him in confussion. "My beautiful Emma. "
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 122: THE KIDNAP
Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps. She thought of how Gideon held her waist while they danced and she blushed. She remembered resting her head on his shoulder
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 121: FURY
After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded. She missed it too. "You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? " began Emma. "I do. " agreed Gideon with a nod. "I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. " recollected Gideon. "You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly. " Emma reminded him and bursted out laughing."The whole Gideon Romero couldn't fix his tie. " she joked.
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 119 :JEALOUSY
After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir. " she promised her caller and drove home. Emma stood in front of her standing mirror trying different outfits on her. "Finally. " she said examining the long fitted red dress she held in front of th
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 118 : A FAIR DEAL
"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 117: A BOLD STEP
Frankie knocked on the door to Gideon's room with a careful sense of uncertainty. "Come in Frankie. " responded Gideon from the outside as if he was expecting him. "Good morning Sir. " Frankie greeted the moment he walked in. "Your breakfast is ready. " he said. Frankie wasn't sure whether Gideon will have the meal yet he tried his luck. Throughout last month, Gidoen had been skipping meals and when Frankie places it for him on his table, he barely touches it. This is as a result of the crises he was having with his business. Since after the accident in the bat tub, Frankie noticed a sense of cheerfulness radiating around Gideon so he decided to try his luck with the breakfast that morning. Gideon was seating on his bed reading a book when Frankie walked in to invite him for the breakfast. "I'll be there shortly. " replied Gideon and Frankie smiled and nodded. Few minutes later, Gidoen had joined Frankie in the living room. "Why don't we have the breakfast together? " suggest
