2024-10-29 19:42:56The room was lit, with golden chandeliers and sparkling light twinkling in the room, exotic chairs was placed between a table, with glass of different wine, a center stage, a microphone, and if there was one thing, it reeked of money, it was a day where popular CEOs meet up to discuss the current progress of their company.
Seated in a corner was the CEO of the second most leading game company, Emma Roberts, her eyes were sharp gazing through the room, and her hand fiddled with the glass, taking a gentle sip one at a time."Ma’am, are you going to introduce your new sketched game?" Her assistant said quietly,Emma’s eyes was fixated on the stage, as she gazed at who was talking, she glanced back at her assistant, nearly giving a nod. "I don’t think I will, I only sketched the game idea yesterday, wouldn’t it be bad to rush into conclusions and announce the concept of the game." She said rather calm.Her assistant heave a rather heavy sigh, "But the game concept is so good, they will support the idea, and even fund it."Emma casted a heavy look, the assistant gulped down her saliva, waving her hands. "Never mind,""That’s what I thought." She took another sip of the water, letting the liquid substance flush down her throat. She let out a satisfied smile and gazed at the stage."Now, let’s applause for CEO of GameTec, Mr. Jeremy Hart,"Applauses were heard from every seat.Emma perked her brows upward, Jeremy? The CEO of GameTec, her rival company, still, she didn’t get why her company was leading second, and his, first. She had never saw him before, or maybe she had, still, she didn’t care, all she knew was that if she saw him, she would certainly creep his throat apart.To her surprise, a young man with a well tailored blue suit etched nicely on his body walked up to the stage, his hair flowing accordingly, he was unusually tall, and handsome, quite good looking, Emma bulged her eyes, she had expected a man in his thirties, or even still, in his forties, but this man on the stage, holding the microphone graciously was not old, he was good looking, even more than her twin brother.She stared, quiet bewildered, and all the women present gawked at the young man on stage.He smiled, a rather friendly yet attracting, his hands held the microphone gently. "Thank you again for this almighty opportunity." He winked to everyone present.They all stared, why was he different? He wasn’t cold like any normal CEO, but, he was fine."Theirs is this game idea that I am working on." And, then, he narrated.Emma’s eyes was focused on his lips as they moved upward, she stared at his narration, something fluttering in her chest, the game he was narrating, it sounded really familiar, like a game she knew."Ma’am," Her assistant edged her. "Isn’t that the idea of your game?"It dawned on her.Jeremy Hart was narrating her own game, the same idea that she had sketched out was the same thing he was narrating.As soon as he was done, a round of applause was heard from all direction, he casted a look at them all, particular in where she sat and winked, taking a curt bow, he descended the stage.Her blood grew in anger, how dare he, why in the heck would he steal her own game? It didn’t look possible from a mindset, she had only sketch the game yesterday and only informed her assistant, and he had been working on the same game for months?Was it possible that they had both figured out the same idea? It didn’t seem real, heck, it couldn’t be real. Could it?She blinked, trying to suppress her anger, she couldn’t take it anymore, she just didn’t wanted to be here, standing up, she garbed her purse, "Meet me outside." she stumped away, everyone tilted their head to gaze at her, but heck she didn’t care, she angrily walked out of the room.Her assistant casted an apologetic look at everyone, grasping her own bag frantically, she ran out of the hall."Miss. CEO. Please wait up."Emma turned to look at her as soon as they were outside. "Did you share that concept with anyone?"The assistant nodded her head. "I really didn’t, please trust me Ma’am, I know that I am just a beginner and this is my first time being a assistant, I would never do such a thing." She gave a curt bow.Emma heaved a sigh, there was no use blaming her assistant anyways, soon enough, Jeremy Hart was going to publish the same game that she had just sketched. What an irony of life.She got into the car, gesturing the young assistant to do the same also.She held the wheels of the staring wheel, driving slowly out of the place, she muttered some words in her breath, promising herself that if she ever came across him, she was going to split his throat, or even, do worse!

Compared to other female CEO around her age.Her eyes stared at the huge restaurant and her lips twitched upward, the restaurant that her mother owned, correction, and the bistro that she now owned.

"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.

Emma dreaded inwardly, but she managed to keep her posture straight. "Why would I want to play a game with you?"His eye lids flicked rather dangerously, "It’s a marriage game, we get married, and act like a couple, first person to fall in love loses, in this game, we advance by getting power points, and different levels."Emma sneered. Marriage game? Who was this guy to endlessly joke about love, like it was some piece of cake?; "Thank you, but, I am not interested in your pathetic games, I have a life to live."He leaned on the chair, his eyes growling lazily, all his elder brothers were married, and if he didn’t get married anytime soon, his mother would push a lady to him, what was more fun than getting married to someone who shared the same interest as you?"Think this through." Damn. He only needed a way to convince her that was all he needed."I won’t," Emma grabbed her hand, but he hauled her back to the chair.“Don’t go,” he sounded rather in need, than in an excitement to pla

"Meeting ended." Jeremy’s dark voice loomed in, as he pushed the chair aside.The gathering stood up, giving a curt bow, arranging their folders, before the door dinged, as a sign of their dismissal.Jeremy sighed wearily, massaging his temples, he left the meeting room, walking to the receptionist. “Any appointment?”The receptionist nodded her head. “Actually, the CEO of GameInc has booked a meeting with you, then after her, is a woman called Miss. Clare.”He quirked his brows slightly, CEO Emma. Right, he hadn’t seen her for weeks, and now she was already creeping to his side, he chuckled slightly, who ever could resist the charms of Jeremy Hart.“When?” He asked, his voice tensed.Through her glasses, the receptionist peered into the screen, before she looked back at him. “In the next five minutes sir,” She gazed around, noticing his dim reaction. "If you want, I can cancel the appointment." Her hands made to the delete button.He raised his arms. "Don’t you dare do that!"The r

"What do you imagine?" Her voice was rough.How badly he wanted to pull her closer, her face was nearly close to his, and her eyes twinkled dangerously, he breathed heavily.Her hands rubbed his chin, her touch, as warm as silk, he closed his eye lids melting in her gentle gaze. She was gentle, her breath rowdy in his face. Her lashes making contact with his cheek.Slowly, she retreated, her hand no longer making chemistry with his jaw, she positioned her self and walked back to her seat.He bobbed his eyes open immediately, "What happened?" What happened to the pleasure he was receiving? Damn, what in the heck happened?"I won a point. Mr. Hart." Her gaze was sinister, and only then, did it dawned on him that he had lost.Emma: 1Jeremy: 0"I can't believe that you just did that." He said through gnashed teeth. She had tortured him with her touch, she had made him feel like he was in heaven and the next minute he was transported to hell. She grabbed her bag. "I have a favour to ask,

The figure stepped in, performing a curt bow mostly to Sadie. "Mother. It's so nice seeing you again. You look more pretty than the last time I saw you." He pulled the chair and took a seat, a commending smile on his face.Emma adjusted in her seat to catch the reaction of her mother, and like she had expected, it was plain real, her mother had dropped the bread back to the bowl, the sound thinner than before. "Jeremy?"He gave her a cheeky smile. "At your service."Sabrina gazed at the handsome god in front of her, her cheek blaring red, and when he looked at her and smiled, her collarbones turned a lighter shade of red."Thank you once again for honouring me here," His hands sneakily made a grip around her waist, of course, no one noticing.She casted him a dark look for his unnoticed movement, and he smiled rather dotingly. 'You started it.'Sadie picked the bread lowering it to her lips. "It's really a surprise seeing you here; honestly, I hadn't expect it." She smiled warmly. "Bu

The next day, as soon as Emma descended the stairs of her office, she walked towards her car, dark shades etched around the corner of her face, her lips parted apart as she twisted the knob of her car.Just when she was about getting in the car, the phone in her Louis Vuitton bag chimed loudly, before she opened the bag, and brought out the phone, swiping through the message that popped in.Her face squeezed together in dissatisfaction when she realized it was her grandmother, Old Mistress Martha, her lips formed into a sly sigh, when she read the message.Old Mistress Martha- I have organized a family meet together. Be there.She sighed, she hated going to a family meet together because all they ever said were ways to get more money, ways to improve their net worth, and ways to convince her to shut down her game company.She got into the car, placing the key into its appropriate place, before the engine sounded and soon, she twisted the wheels with her hands, and slowly, the car mad

"What do you mean?"Pure anger seem to swell up in Martha's face, as her hand made to hit Emma, "I said, what's your damn relationship with a Hart? are you out of your mind?"Emma shivered as she took a step back, her heart pumping with anger. She didn't get it, why would Old Mistress Martha try so bad to control her life? it was sickening to the ears, it made her whole body shake violently."You can't control my life, grandmother." Her voice laced with anger.Old Mistress Martha breathed heavily, her face squishing in rage, she pointed her hand at her, "Don't you disrespect me, I am your grandmother." She yelled furiously."I don't care!" Emma fought back her anger, suppressing her self. "What I do with a Hart is none of your business."Old Mistress Martha stood up from the chair walking towards her, Emma took a step back.She flaunted the cane in her direction. "You

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? His eyes glanced around nervously, and when he saw a figure seated on the chair, one hand swiping through her phone, the other clutching a cup of coffee.Sharp jawline, petite cheekbones, pursed lips, it didn’t take two and two to know that it was Avery.“Avery.” He scooped himself towards the seat.She glanced up at him, at first, shock flashed in her iris. “Jeremy?” Her voice felt tightened and stiff. “What are you doing here?”I am here to warn you, he

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?

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."

It's hard how you can balance being a female CEO without people having to look at you weirdly amongst themselves and whisper.

He hated this part of the job, well, he hated being stuck as a billionaire with no future except with the one of making money.He ruffled his hands on his laptop harder, the keys almost bobbing away, at least that was a great way to make sure he was okay.A head peeked from his door, he recognized the face."What do you want, Mary?" Mary was the name of his assistant he just hired a month ago, fresh out of college, she was efficient in her work, but still. She was always messing his appointments up."You have a meeting with the Denver enterprise today sir. Like right now."

When Emma was in the car with Jeremy on their ride home. She received a text from Avery.At first, she thought it was a normal text from her mother reminding her to wear make-up, or brush her hair or it was just one of those useless advertising ads piling up in her email, but it was Avery.The text was short, yet carried with so much importance.Avery: Hey. Can you come to burger dine if you aren't busy, Jayci would love to meet you.She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat, before gazing out of the window, the building stood in front of her elegantly, 'burgers and dine,' written well in a cold blue font.Something in her heart cracked. Burgers and dine was just near them, how in the hell had Aubrey known she was here?Avery was inside there, she couldn't possibly have seen her car outside, or could she be tracking her?She swallowed involuntarily.
