Chapter 9

Emma woke up feeling sore, she shrugged off the lazy feeling, she went into her bathroom, with her robe on, after her routines, she went downstairs and brushed her dark thick hair.

She tied it into an office braid, before she went downstairs, the maids were tidying up the mansion, the butler was instructing them on what to do and what not to do

"Good Morning Madam" The bulter bowed in submission, she simply nodded her head in agreement.

"How are you, Mr. Hank?" She asked with a smile.

"Better than yesterday" The two both laughed it out.

She went into her wardrobe, she scanned her clothes, looking for something off-key, she simply hated show-off so she decided to go with a normal office gown.

She was feeling bored so she decided to spend breakfast with Ava's family, at least just to brush off her loneliness.

She drove her car and arrived at Elle's house, she went in with her head bowed low, Elle's, Charlie, was sitting all comoposed on the chair, his hands flipping the newspaper, he seemed to be busy while flipping the newspaper, not thinking about another thing.

 

As if he was really interested in it.

"Good Morning, Uncle" She had a smile plastered on her oval face.

He dropped the news paper and gazed up at her, "Emma? When did you arrive?" He had a smile on his face.

"Just right now" Her smile spread through her beautiful lips.

"Where is aunty?" She asked him with a smile.

"She is preparing breakfast" Charlie said to her.

"Who are you talking to dear?" Elle came out of the kitchen with a smile, oven gloves were etched to her hand, she smiled when she saw Emma standing there with her arms crossed.

"Emma dear" She hugged her with a smile.

Elle smiled as she grabbed Emma to her side, "Come, Come, I have made breakfast, sit"

Emma smiled before she took her seat on the chair, she waved her hair to a side.

Elle quickly rushed over to the kitchen to dish the meal, she smiled as she placed the meal on the large wooden table.

The room was filled with different aroma, ranging from delicious to yummy, Emma could almost lick her lips, she could feel herself already digging in the meal.

A sigh left her lips as she thought of her mother's delicious meals, she always looked forward to her mother's meal.

Sometimes, something were just meant to be, Destiny can never be changed.

Emma picked up her spoon and duged into the neatly cooked food.

"Ava, Erika" She called her children that were upstairs.

Ava and Erika came running down, Ava's face turned brighter when she saw Emma, she immediately went and leaped on her.

Her face shoned, she had been expecting her favourite aunty all day long.

A huge smile crept on Emma's face when she saw how the little girl's shined.

"Aunty Emma" It could be seen clearly that the little girl was more than happy to see her.

"I told you that I would come back" Emma, with a smile ruffled the little girl's hair.

Erika, who was about eighteen years old just nodded her head at Emma, "Aunty Emma"

Emma enjoyed her breakfast with them, they all talked, laughed, chatted, it was a memorial day for her.

After chatting with them, she left the house for her own, she had almost forgot about the ball of the Harts.

She went into her dressing room and picked a yellow floral gown, since she was not a fan if fashion, she applied little makeup since she didn't wanted to be the talk of the town.

She then drove over to the Roberts family household, getting there, they were all assembled wearing beautiful gowns.

Even Old Mistress Martha wasn't looking bad herself, dressed in floral gown with golden beads embroidered on them, she looked young.

The rest of them was glimmering in wealth, their dress could have cost a fortune, their hair clips and everything made them all look like young maiden.

Charlotte was the best looking in all of them, the dress hinged gracefully on her body, making sure to capture all her body posture well.

Old Mistress Martha walked up to her in a way it made her wanted to puke.

"Emma, you are here at las, I thought you wouldn't make it, well now that you are here, let us go" Martha smiled.

Emma didn't bother to reply the smile, she just kept a straight poker face as if she didn't simply cared.

"GrandMa, can we go?" Mika who was looking cute, dressed in a quite simple dress that stopped right above her knees.

"Of course, I am just waiting to get a ping from the Hart's family" She said.

"Oh, haven't they pinged us yet" Charlotte asked, fluttering her eye lashes in a way she seemed annoyed.

"Yes, Maybe we should wait just a bit, I am sure something will happen soon" Martha took a seat, signalling the others.

They all took a seat, why? cause they feared her greatly, since she was the only empress of the Roberts household.

Martha stood up, "Now, I would like to make it all clear to you"

They all listened with rapt attention, focusing their eyes to her, except for only one person, Emma.

Why was she here? she herself had no answer to that, she didn't have time for whatever they wanted, marriage and love was not even in her accord.

"The Harts family is a broad family, they are quite expanded and they all fight for their wealth and power" Martha waited to see their reaction then she continued.

"Their young master are only Jeremy Hart, CEO of GameInc, Barton Hart, CEO of construction site and lastly Jason Hart, CEO of Gallary" Martha continued.

"And all of them has set up the ball to choose their prominent brides, so I pray one of you get the title" Martha continued suggesting.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Did I just hear Jason Hart, like Jason of Jason?" Cheyanne started feeling uneasy as she let it out.
