The sound reverberated around the whole room, and all the elites couldn’t help but gaze back, their eyes glimmering for fresh gossip, instant murmuring were heard next.

"Who is she?"

"Don’t you know, she’s the CEO of the restaurant? She’s the owner as of now."

Emma inhaled, then exhaled, grasping her hand bag firmly, she casted one last look at her mother. "Mother, I will call you."

She turned around and left, numerous gazes following her every movement.

Jeremy laughed, before clinking with the hemline of his suit, a figure appeared immediately, and he bowed slightly.

"Young Master, shall I go after her?" His voice was unfathomable, he was huge, his jaw line too hard.

Jeremy waved his hands indifferently, "I don’t think so."

Sadie glanced at Jeremy with a bitter smile. "Please pardon my daughter; she’s a little childish these days." She smiled nervously.

He nodded his head. "Yes Mother, certainly, I find your daughter really amusing." His eyes glimmered with desire. "I want her already."

He laughed hardly.

__

It has been three days since the whole ‘incident’, everything went out normally, and surprisingly it was quiet, except the gossip of Jeremy and Emma being together that flooded the internet.

Presently, Emma and her friends were in an espresso bar, catching some bit of gossip drinking coffee and eating some scones.

Those were the only times that made her feel safe, secure, get away from the phase of life. She knew she could count on them,

Emma dropped the cup of coffee on the table and stared at her friends, "Arya, I hope Devon is treating you well. You seem really happy these days,"

Arya flushed, and stared elsewhere, "We are in love, don’t you understand? The feeling of love, it takes you to a whole new level.” Her eyes glimmered gracefully. Arya Morris Brookes. The same woman who succeeded in getting married to Devon Brookes.

Nicole who was quiet, all of a sudden voiced out." I hardly believe that."

They both busted out into laughter, well except Nicole. The trio had been friends for as much as they were little, "I hope the news about Jeremy and you aren’t true?" Nicole suddenly asked, her voice quivering, she took the cup of coffee and took a little sip.

Emma paused, but only for a fraction of second, she lifted the cup of coffee. "I just put him in his place." She shrugged indifferently.

"You literally slapped him," Nicole said, waving her hands ironically.

"You would have done worse." Emma smiled, with danger lurking in her voice.

And that was of course no doubt, Nicole was the dangerous fang tiger, her personality differ in a lot of ways, she was quiet, yet dangerous.

Nicole was silent; she gazed down at her coffee, and twitched up her lips a little bit, though no emotions flashing between her eye lobes.

Arya stood up, and reached for her channel bag, "I have to go now; turns out I have a date with Devon." She casted an apologetic look at her friends.

Nicole squeezed her face softly. "Sure." She also stood up. "I have a business meeting too," She stood up and the duo walked away.

Emma sighed, drumming her fingers against the table, she grabbed the cup of coffee.

"I hadn’t expect the CEO of GameInc seated in a local coffee shop, while she owns the world best imperial restaurant," A thick masculine voice called out, hints of mockery laced in his voice.

Emma turned to look at him, her blood burning, why was he here? This man only made her heart explode with anger.

Jeremy walked towards her and took his seat, he wasn’t dressed in any suit, he was dressed in a baggy T-shirt and sweat pants, his whole face was covered with sweat, and it was evident that he just finished working out.

"What do you need?" She breathed in and out, trying to calm herself down.

"Ah, nothing," He taunted her, signaling to the nearest waitress. "Can I have a cup of Joe and maybe some scones?" He flashed a smile at her, and Emma could swore he was flirting. The audacity!

The waitress giggled, before she hopped away with her notebook etched gracefully in her arms.

"I have to go now," Emma reached for her bag, and stand up, but he pulled her back, causing her to slump back in the chair.

Her eyes held series of anger, "What’s your problem?" Her yell was thundered in his ears. Cold, hard, and terrifying.

Jeremy smiled, somewhat hard, he grinned a lot, his jaw clenched.

"Miss. Emma, I have been thinking of something." He leaned on the table, his hands supporting his jaw on the table.

"What?" She was trying her possible best not to lose her sanity, but it was damn hard, this man. He annoyed the hell out of her.

Her brain rumbled and she managed to breath.

The waitress walked in, dropping the tray on the table, and after flashing a seductive smile at him, she walked away.

Jeremy chuckled, he could never get old with the compliments he always received, he was the god of the Hart family, the face, even his mother loved him dearly, out of his two elder brothers, being the last out of his family, he received all the attention.

He picked up the scone and soon began chewing gently, his eyes gazing at Emma with delight.

Emma felt her veins almost pop up, it was hard to keep up with this man, she already certainly did not like him.

"What were you thinking?" she asked, gnashing her teeth.

He stared at her.

Chewing his scones.

Emma picked up the cup of coffee, and took a sip, feeling nourished.

"Where was I?" Jeremy dropped the scone back to the plate, before leaning in, his eyes twinkling, what was it… desire to own something?

"I have a proposal to make."

She almost spit out her scones.

"Which is?" She managed to ask, in nearly a whisper.

"Let’s play a game, Miss. Emma."

    “Asshole.” Emma stabbed the needle into the hole, then another, and another and now her throat hurt.Her younger sister walked into the living room with only a night robe on, she flicked on the globe and let out a yell when she saw Emma.“Goodness!” She flinched back in surprise, her heart still beating from the shock. “Why are you here?”She stared up at her younger sister, her eyes dried with tears, goodness, she had rushed here last night, and thank goodness that her parents weren’t here, she had jostled the keys into the hole and crawled into the lonely sheets, the only thing she could do was cry herself to sleep.“Do you really stay here all by yourself?” Emma stared at her sister with narrowed eyes. She didn’t know why, but it didn’t feel safe for a fifteen year old in a huge mansion all by herself without any adult supervision.“The housekeeper and the butler are here to keep me company.” Her sister appeared from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, handing her one, her sister

The restaurant was almost closing for the day, the place was empty except for some people who stayed behind to catch the latest gossip.Where was Avery?

    Was she obsessed with him? Goodness, she was obsessed with him, she checked her phone, blank."Damn!" She slumped against her car seat, and sighed, rubbing her temples together. The cold December air flushed against her face, she checked the time in her phone. It was still early in the afternoon.Which reminded her, Peter was supposed to be here an hour ago, she checked her time frowning, they had agreed on 12:30pm, so where in the hell was he?Should she go out and look for him? Or should she call his number?Just when she was attempting to push the door open, her phone pinged, Peter's name filling the screen.Oh.

    Jeremy stretched his hand forward, inhaling the sweet and damp smell of the wind in his nostrils. The night wind always fascinates him, he didn't even know what he liked seeing there: Was it the stars that twinkled? Or the moon that lit his face when he thought about his life, but nevertheless, the night was the only thing he looked forward to all the days of his life.His hands trimmed towards the cup of coffee, he didn't know why, but caffeine made his heart jumble away, especially in the dead of the night.It's funny how you could think of someone, wish they were there, and in reality, they were there, right in front of you."Jeremy!" Her voice caught him out of his reality, her lips were pursed in anger, those pretty shoulders almost jabbing towards him, "You haven't said a thing!"Was he supposed to? Because he had nearly forgotten how it was to breathe, because with this woman by his side, he seems to have lost his source of oxygen.Her perfect figure stood high in the night sky

    Emma dreamed about last night, it was so good she wanted to relive it again and again and again, when he was asleep, she stared at him, at his lush brows that seemed to stretch out when he was asleep, to his lips that seemed swollen.This morning, she still wanted to relive it, but her brother- who often was very annoying just had to knock on their door this morning and demand breakfast.The moment she opened her door, she almost controlled herself from plucking her hand into his face and giving him a punch; he was going to destroy her morning with Jeremy."Hey. Sis." The moment he said that while grinning, she let the anger subside and pulled him into a hug, he smelled safe, just like when they were kids, whenever they got into a huge fight or were arguing about something, he would just stop and hug her.He always smelt safe."Come on in." She nearly controlled an eye roll, as she led him into the room, his hair wasn't scattered around today, thank goodness, his dark green eyes seeme

Her laugh, her body, her smell, he couldn't take it anymore, it was tempting.And definitely, he wasn't ready to go into that room and lie down on the same bed with her and not dream about this.He placed the cup of coffee back on the table, his body feeling feverish."Jeremy?" He heard the tiniest voice ever, he could even make out the shape of her figure under the light, so fucking beautiful, "Are you there?"Oh gosh, he wanted to hide right now, but then he said. "I am in the kitchen."Shuffling of feet, then the flick of the globe, the light shone
