Emerald sensed that he had fallen in love with Maya. But Emerald could not understand why he would not pursue her daughter.
Spencer lifted his eyes in shock.
Did Maya know how he felt for her?
He kept his feelings for her underwraps. To avoid arousing suspicion, he treated her as a superior would treat a subordinate. He always wore a serious face whenever he was with her and only talked about work with her.
The only time he called her first name was yesterday. Is that enough to hint Maya about his feelings?
Wait, did Maya hear him call her 'love'?
“Are you in lov
Emerald hung up the phone after answering and looked back at Clayton. “You wanted to say something when my phone rang. What is it?” Emerald said, smiling brightly at Clayton as she caressed his broad shoulders. Clayton was mesmerized by her beauty and forgot what he was supposed to tell her. His face inched forward and his lips covered her lips. The kiss was gentle and tender but after a minute or two it turned passionate. And they both immersed in their passion. Sighs and groans of pleasure and delight filled the room. “Clayton,” Emerald sobbed his name, her eyes filled with love for the man. “I love you, Emerald,” Clayton whispered in her ears. Clayton whispered sweet love words to her while they both satisfied each other's needs. Soft knocks came as the couple came out of the walk-in closet. “Madam, Mr. Goulding is here to see you,” the maid informed Emerald. “We’ll be there in a minute,” Emerald answered and the maid left. Spencer was standing in the middle of the drawing
Maya wanted to run out of the room as Clayton and Emerald left her with Spencer. Her heartbeat was racing like it was doing a marathon.Skydiving did not make her nervous like the way Spencer made her nervous. She felt like she’s going to faint at any minute.“Ahem,” Spencer cleared his throat as Maya had not said a word nor looked at him.She peeled away her transfixed eyes from the door where her parents went out.Seeing Spencer’s fascinating smile, Maya’s breathing became erratic.Maya had crushes before but they didn’t have this effect on her.
Theo was exuding a cold aura as he stood by the door.“What are you doing?” Theo’s brows were knitted together.Maya stood up before Spencer like a lioness protecting her cub.Theo chuckled and said, “I will not hurt you man, okay. Dad and mom are asking the both of you. Lunch is ready.”Theo stepped out of the drawing room, leaving the two.“Let’s go,” Maya held Spencer’s arm as they strolled to the dining hall.“Tracy!” Maya was elated to see her best friend and sister - in - law.
Emerald was breathless when Clayton finally let go of her lips. Emerald was confused as people applauded and cheered. She didn’t know who the people were cheering to but she caught Maya cheering while her eyes were on them. Emerald, too embarrassed by Clayton’s audacity to kiss her in public during their son’s wedding ceremony, could not lift her eyes to look at the guests. On the other hand, Clayton did not feel embarrassed at all. *** “Finally, you are officially my wife,” Theo said while he hugged Tracy from behind. After what happened on the cruise ship, Theo an
The wait was making her jittery, Maya strode towards the study to look for Spencer. She can’t let her dad say things to scare Spencer.Lifting her hand to knock on the door, it opened suddenly.Maya’s heart that was lodged on her throat descended to its proper position as her eyes landed to Spencer’s smiling face.“Are you okay?” Maya asked.“Yes, I’m fine,” Spencer gave her an assuring smile.Maya looked behind Spencer and saw Clayton looking at them. She examined her father’s expression but she couldn’t figure out what he told Spencer because of his placid countenanc
“So they actually agreed for you to be in a relationship with my son?” Gloria almost squeaked at what she had learned.“My parents like Spencer,” Maya responded, beaming with joy. “Even my brothers like him as well.”“Oh, really?” Gloria’s eyes grew wide.Maya nodded her head to confirm that they had heard her right.Gloria was able to breathe and her tensed body relaxed.“You looked like your mother, except the eye color, which you took from your dad,” Gloria remarked as she stared at Maya's beautiful face.
“Madam, please calm down,” the doctor said as Gloria wailed in anguish.At that time, another operating room opened. “Are you the family of the young man?’“Yes, doctor,” Frank answered with a croak and prepared his heart for anything the doctor would say.“Your son received most of the impact of the collision, we are going to transfer him to the ICU,” the doctor said.Frank hugged Gloria as she fainted as soon as she heard the doctor.Emerald's body trembled and asked, “How about my daughter, doctor?”"
Not a slightest reaction came from the man lying unconscious. Devastation like waves went crashing over her. “Goodbye Spencer, this will be my last day visiting you as it seems you don’t care about me anymore,” she left not after placing a kiss on his lips. As soon as Maya left, Spencer’s eyelashes fluttered and tears slipped from his eyes. He heard her ultimatum. She was going to date Geo. She’s not coming back to see him. No he can’t let her go. Nurses came in after Maya left to check Spencer’s vital signs and they couldn’t help but talk about Maya. “She came out so soon. She usually stays here until afternoon but now she only spent less than a quarter of an hour.” “It’s odd, everyday she comes here to see Mr Goulding, wearing jeans and a t - shirt but today she came here in a dress and had light make-up.” “She seemed to have given up. She’s still young and beautiful, perhaps she has already found someone else.” “If I were in her situation, why would I wait for someo
