CHP 7

"Hi James Brandon, just call me James, I'm the one who will be taking you to the hospital," James extended his hand to Emily who immediately greeted him warmly.

"Hi James! I'm Emily, okay I will be ready soon! Emily shouted, she turned around nodded at Dorothy, Eve and Lucy then hurried out of the kitchen without a word. She doesn't like pretending to people who does not respect her.

"Umm okay Emily I will be waiting at the main door," James said a little nervous. He couldn't stop his admiration for Emily. "Okay," Emily said then rushed into her room to change and get her handbag.

As she was walking hurriedly to the main door, she accidentally bumped into Gabriel who seemed to have just returned from outside.

"Where are you going?" Gabriel asked her as his eyes met Emily's.

"To hospital, sir," Emily replied politely, taking a few steps back so that she wouldn't be too close to Gabriel.

Gabriel frowned, " For what?" he asked again, he has never been too concerned about other people's business before.

"My mom is have her surgery today," Emily tried to avoid Gabriel's intense gaze.

"Oh, Gabriel muttered curtly. Emily nodded politely then continue on her way. But suddenly, "Emily" Gabriel's voice stopped her, Emily turned around in surprise, yes sir?

"Good luck with the surgery......." Gabriel said, sincerity was in his eyes as he said does words. Smiled a little " thank you".

Before leaving the house Emily looked up at the CCTV in the hallway that leads to the main door, right now Olivia was probably watching he. Ever since she signed the contract with Olivia her life will never be the same again.......

James honked the car horn twice, "Emily! Here!"shouted James from the open car window.

"You can sit at the back sit if you want" James said as Emily opened the front door, Emily shook her head, " you are not my driver and I'm not your boss, I'm more comfortable here. Is that okay? asked Emily.

"Yeah, that's fine," James said clearing his throat softly and starting the car with a little nervousness "Are you alright James?" Emily asked seeing James hands trembling, "Yeah, I'm fine, James said without daring to look at Emily, he stomp on the gas pedal slowly and after that, the car speed away from the massive Specter's mansion.

Emily looked the road they are strolling, for some reason, her chest very felt tight all of a sudden. She closed her eyes, then inhaled and exhale d slowly. James glanced at Emily worriedly, "you couldn't breathe?" he said curtly.

Emily shook her head, "Nope, I'm fine, I just......" Emily was silent, should she tell him to ease the burden a little?

"Forget it," she whispered finally to James probably didn't want to hear the story either.

James frowned, " you can say anything to me, just think of me as a statue or a stone, " James said in a more realistic tone "Really?" you're not going to tell anyone else? Emily asked looking at James with a narrowed eyes auspiciously. James chuckled, you don't have to tell me if you don't believe me James said slightly.

"Okay, everyone knows my story anyways, I don't have to bther hiding it front he world," Emily muttered shrug.

"You and everyone in the Specter's mansion must have known who am I...... "Emily said, staring sadly out of the window at the row of trees they passed.

"Yeah of course! you're Emily Clark, the girl with a beautiful eyes and charming smiles," replied James cheerfully, Emily snorted, " I sell my womb and I make love to my master, What's the difference between me and a white?" chuckled laughing at herself.

James' face froze, he didn't laugh, " you're different," James said quietly. Emily turned her head, " What makes me different?".

James shrugged, "you're just different just focus on your mother's recovery, don't think about anything else, " James replied without turning to look at Emily.

" How did you know about my mother?" asked Emily in surprise. "Even walls can talk in the Specter's mansion," James said casually. Emily chuckled " well you're right...... " she looked at James from the side, "So what exactly do you do? are you a driver? Bodyguard?or what? Emily asked curiously.

"I do whatever I'm told," James replied flatly, Emily raised an eyebrow, not believing James' word, but chose not to ask any further questions.

"So how long have you worked with the Specters?" James tilted his head, thinking, Hmmm about five years," James replied.

" That means you have been working with Mr Specter since he wasn't married?" Emily became interested in their conversation. James nodded, " yeah, you could say that," he replied, keeping his eyes in the road in front of him.

"So are the Specters always stiff like that? I mean they are really weird couple....." Emily said with a frown. James chuckled, " you think so?" mumbled James, he didn't want to talk about his boss.

Emily sneered, " you will never speak bad things about your boss, won't you? well then, don't mind my question, " Emily let out waving hand. James laughed, showing a row of white teeth. " Okay, I will try to answer as best as I can. Just ask! James said he didn't know why he was so happy to talk to Emily.

Emily smiled widely,

" I don't want to ask, I want you to tell me about the Specters, Emily said blinking a few times. James laughed " hmmm I don't know where to start.......

"Did they marry because they live each other?" Emily asked curiously. "Hmmm, no," James answered simply. Emily's eyes widened, I thought so! so their marriage was planed by their parents?" Emily squealed, staring at James face, which look very symmetrical.

" Hmmm no," I don't understand...... she muttered desperately James smiled, " Why are you curious? could be you like Gabriel?" James asked without looking up.

Emily snorted, then laughed " seriously! Never!" she said, turning her face away so that James couldn't see the pink blush on her cheeks

"Long story short, Gabriel was urged by his parents to get married immediately met Olivia at the right time, as Olivia had been after him for a long time," said James while focusing on his steering wheels. Emily felt silent, digesting James words.

"Hmmm, that's make sense......" mumbled Emily at last as she stare at the dashboard in front of her as if it's about to pop out something. James glanced at Emily's expression, "Make sense? What makes sense?" asked curiously.

"Their relationship is rigid and strange, it turns out that the reason was that," Emily said still with a thoughtful look. "Oh....." replied James who was still watching Emily's face while occasionally lookout at the street.

" Don't even think about taking Gabriel from Olivia.

James's words made Emily to turn around in surprise she covered her mouth and laughed out loud, " Me? oh my goodness! that kind of though never even crossed my mind!" exclaimed her honestly. Well, Emily did feel a strange feelings every time she sees Gabriel but that doesn't mean that Emily intends to take Gabriel from Olivia.

"That's good then I don't want you to experience the kind of trouble that Laura had....."
