While Emerald turned her head to look at the woman, Clayton did not spare the woman a single glance but had his eyes transfixed at Emerald. Other women held no importance to him. Color fled Emerald's face to see Charlotte. She was even more beautiful up close than the time she saw her in Clayton’s office. Everything in her was beautiful. Sophistication surrounded her. She's alluringly beautiful. Surely, she's a woman a man would die for. 'No wonder why, Clayton couldn't say no to her.' her lips twitched in a bitter smile. Emerald's heart was shu
It was just an inch away before Red could capture Emerald for a kiss when Emerald was yanked away from him and a knuckle collided on his face. Red was sent to the ground. The corner of his lips dripped blood from his erupted lips. "Stay away from my woman," Clayton growled like a feral beast in a jungle. The moment he saw Red intended to kiss Emerald, a burst of energy coming forth from his anger enabled him to reach them in no time, managing to take away Emerald before Red could lock lips with her. Fearing that he would attack Red again, Emerald grabbed his arms and angrily said, "Why did you hurt him, he is your cousin?"
Outside, the summer night was drawing to a close, and the gray of pre-dawn surrendered to the pale yellow of early morning.Red woke up with a severe headache. He tried to sit up but a weight on his right arm was hindering him. He looked at what was pressing his right arm.His blood backflowed as he was greeted by Freya's sleeping face. He looked down under the sheet and both of them were devoid of clothings."Wake up!" Red yelled at Freya as he forcefully pulled his arm from under her neck.With the force he used, Freya's neck felt sore and turned Red."What have you done to me?" Red snarled at her while he put on his clothes.
"Brilliant!" Clayton said, clapping his hands as he drew close to Emerald. The male chauvinist shareholders and executives all turned their heads simultaneously to Clayton. "Mr Strong!" They stood up to welcome him. Clayton is now a household name in the business arena. At his young age he was able to make his company take a foothold and expand in Westfield in just a short span of time. Westfield has the fiercest business rivalry, making it hard for young businessmen to have remarkable feats in just a short period of time. "Gentleman, you should give your new president a chance to prove herself. I believe in her ability to take Kingston Ltd to greater heights." Hearing Clayton's view, though they were still holding prejudice against Emerald, stopped attacking her. The meeting went smoothly and no one opposed Emerald while she spoke as Clayton sat beside her the whole time. "Don't listen to their nonsense. You are brilliant," Clayton said as he followed Emerald into her o
"Red! What a coincidence," Emerald said while she chuckled and looked at Freya. "It's fate that I met you here," Red answered, he wasn't aware that the woman whose back was facing him was Freya. "Join us!" Emerald said in a jovial tone. "Sure!" Red took his seat and his face turned grim coming face to face with Freya. "You, why are you here?" Freya's lovesick puppy expression when around Red wasn't there, in place was a stone cold face. Her hazel eyes had no sparkle in them as they used to when looking at Red "Mr Stanford," Freya nodded curtly and then looked back at the menu. Oddly, Red felt uneasy that Freya treated him coldly. The Freya he knew was clingy and sunny but this Freya in front of him was detached and bleak. "Did she come to seek trouble with you?" Red asked Emerald, worried that Freya came to trouble Emerald again. "She came to apologize, so we came here to eat." Emerald smiled. Red looked at Freya dubiously. 'What possessed her?’ After a while t
Wallace grimly stared at Charlotte. She was the one who left Clayton when Leonardo's company was at the brink of collapsing.Now that Clayton is a household name in the corporate world, she pesters him and hinders him from being together with Emerald."I'm glad that my grandson isn't fated to be with a gold digger like you," Wallace spoke in anger."So you'd rather have your grandson choose a lowly orphan like her who had nothing to offer? Isn't It obvious that she's a gold digger?" Charlotte spat her acrid remark while her finger was pointed at Emerald.Giovanni clenched his fist upon listening to Charlotte degrade his granddaughter.
Clayton called again when Emerald hung up the phone. But his call wasn't answered.Going to Ytania while having a misunderstanding with Emerald unsettled him. He was beginning to reconsider his decision to go to Ytania.But going to Ytania is crucial to ensure Emerald's safety.Thinking about Emerald's safety Clayton decided to talk to Emerald when the dust settled down.***"Mr Strong, I am not interested," Henry Jackson, the eldest son of Frederick Jackson said. "My father banished me from his presence to please his wife. Not content that I was still breathing, he ordered someone to murder me."
Red glared coldly at Freya. "You disgust me, Ms. West."Unexpectedly, Freya laughed out loud instead of responding to him in anger. "Yes, you're right," Freya agreed, nodding her head. But Red's anger flared on her next remark. "So disgusting that it repulsed you to touch me." "Freya?" That voice hindered Red from making a comeback. Freya's dark countenance instantly lit up as she heard the voice, fueling Red's anger. Red felt that Freya had toyed him. She used to follow him like a lost puppy. Now, he was nothing to her after what happened between them. "Justin!" Freya threw herself at his open arms. Justin caught her, then twirled her round and round that made Red's mood become more sour. "I'm happy you came!" Freya giggled as Justin settled her feet on the floor. "Of course, I should support my girl." Freya and Justin talked as if Red wasn't there and it made him feel worse. "Freya, you're something else," Red said in anger. He hadn't experienced it from Freya before. Re
