Chapter 3

You must do the things you think you can't do"

Emma's POV

" Sir,do I have to go?"I asked, my heart palpitating as I awaited his answer anxiously.

Turns out,this time he'd drag me across the world to get Mr Yakama's signature on the damn papers.Not even once did he go with me to any of his business ventures out of town,so why now?

Mr Yakama had put up a fight on not selling his ranch in Austin to us.So the, eligible most feared bachelor and businessman,my boss,Cain Powers, thought it wise to stalk him inorder to get his hands on that ranch.

Sneering insolently he asked,"I'm the one who calls the shots, right?So when I say you're going, you're going,no questions asked!"

He said, walking his way in the boardroom,his face shining brilliantly.

I understood everything crystal clear,I was only a mere employee.

God,I don't get it,why give him that perfectly chiseled face if he's rotten to the core?Fine arm muscles bulging from his clay suit,jet black hair that always matched his black eyes,lips that resembled those of James Reid,he even had that cute little dimple on his left cheek that most men yearned for!!

Too bad his ego was bigger than his ass.At times,I felt like pouncing on him and ripping him into shreds,this was one of those days.

"When I say you're going, you're going no question asked" I mimicked his deep gruffy voice and laughed.

Going back to my little desk,I looked at the wooden frame near my favourite coffee mug,a picture of my family,and that was enough to brush off everything my boss had said to me earlier.

Australia here I come!

Next day

"Marlon,sorry for all the trouble,i would have taken a cab to the airport,"I said as Marlon, my boss' personal bodyguard ushered me in a Rolls Royce,parked outside our house, carefully placing my two suitcases in the boot.

"It's always my pleasure,Emma.Beside s the grouch doesn't want you delaying him,"he said smilingly,let's just say we were close friends that had the same opinion on our boss.

Our code name for him was 'grouch'cause that matched his obstinate personality.

"Let's go,my good man,we wouldn't want to keep him waiting, would we now?"I tapped his shoulder,as we both laughed.

We arrived at the airport after a 30-minute ride.The handsome tall smiling man elegantly walked towards me firmly clasping an executive briefcase,and whispered,"Took you long enough!"

Yap,this was the Cain Powers I knew.The propeller swished back and forth,as the wind whirled sardonically.I clutched my primrose yellow sundress as my curly hair fell on my face.

As for Cain Powers he strutted elegantly as rays of light bounced off his black shades that inexplicably matched his russet-brown suit.

I settled myself across his seat,with Marlon seated beside me.I couldn't help but get curious seeing as to how my boss looked at his watch now and then.Who was he waiting for?

Minutes later,a gorgeously attired girl appeared,before the plane could take off.She elegantly walked towards him,as they both exchanged hugs.Then surprisingly my boss handed her the crimson red bouquet of roses.

"Aww,Cain.You shouldn't have," she said as her lips quavered slightly mesmerized by the kind gesture.Minites later an old man probably in his early sixties came in with four leather suitcases for the gorgeous lady I presume.

"You know who she is?",Marlon suddenly asked as he noticed my sudden curiosity.

" Not a clue,who is she?",I asked as i eyed her once again,she had dressed to impress for sure.Her straight blonde air fell off her back ,her knee-length ruby-red dress matched her million dollar stilettos and finally the heavy shade of makeup she had put on,damn she was classy compared to simple old me.

"Her name is Kendalla Velazquez,a famous model in Rio, Brazil."no wonder,my boss went for her.This was just another fling of the month,he dated a couple of models after getting what he wanted he'd throw them away like trash.I pitied this one,she was gorgeous yet so clueless of the monster seated next to her pretending to be prince charming of the year. Yuuuck!

"She's hot and fake they deserve each other, don't you think, Marlon?"I said focusing my attention back to my bag as I removed my laptop.

"Yeah,you are right,Em!" he sneered tauntingly,and we both laughed quietly.

This was my first time on a plane much less my boss' private plane,so when it took off,I was a bit scared but Marlon was there to ease all my worries.

I slept for some hours then woke up to find the two 'lovebirds' drinking some champagne,then shared some jokes with Marlon,played some weird games , until finally we reached Sydney, Australia.

Cain's POV

I was getting bored just listening to the yarping songbird seated next to me.Damn you,Maria Nicole Powers!

Nicky had convinced me to atleast manipulate a stubborn Brazilian model to endorse with her clothing line.Due to her persistent,I gave in,I mean she had promised that we would click in an instant.

Kendalla Velazquez wasn't my type of woman,first if all I hate tarty people.I have to congratulate my secretary today she arrived earlier than her.Who the heck was she,no one keeps Cain Powers waiting,no one! Much less a damn woman!

And now back to my situation,Kendalla just wouldn't shut up for a minute.Talking about her fashion shows all over the world,her various appearance in famous magazines and finally how she'd been to Australia tons of time.

I bet Marlon's conversation with Millers was much interesting than ours. They'd laugh once in a while, play games on her laptop and finally Marlon would make funny facial expressions to make her have a good laugh.

I had to order champagne to shut this woman up.We finally arrived in Sydney,and I even tracked down where Mr Yakama was staying at,so that I'd book the same hotel.

We booked in Marriott's hotel,each getting separate rooms,I watched Millers as she gasped at everything she saw,even her key card,it was like handing a 10yr old, a new toy.

Emma's POV

Once in my room, I could finally get some alone time and call mom to assure her I was fine.

The shower was refreshing,I was ready to get a good night's rest.My neck was sore,so changing into my blue night gown,I sat beside my bed, searching for Kendalla Velazquez.

Damn,she was rich,famous in Brazil!!A hottie that every man in Brazil wanted to get hands on,my boss,Cain Powers was a crafty son of a gun.All that beauty to himself, but you know what I studied her cheekbones her vibrant smiles that filled the internet,she had no clue of what she was in for,Cain Powers was the worst person to hook up with.

Don't get me wrong,I wasn't interested in the her but my gender.Trust me,I had made a mistake once that changed my life,I didn't want her to go through the same thing I went through.

I was in the middle of my thoughts,when someone knocked my door and I shuddered with fear, it was in the wee hours of the night?!

Opening the door slightly,I was shocked to see a man standing there half naked!!

"Umm..Sir?!"
