Emma’s pov“Orphan Project,” Kyle said the moment I walked in, and I frowned at his nickname.“Jerkass,” I retorted with my own and he smiled at this.“So, you still remember me, I am flattered,” he gestured that I should sit on the opposite chair.I sat down and his eyes scanned my entire body and he then smiled.“Back then when I first met you. You were hot but now you are on a whole new level. How did you get hotter with age?” he asked me, and I smiled.“The same way you seemed to have gotten dumper with age,” I said, and he chuckled.“You called me here for a meeting with me, just to insult me?” he asked raising his brow.I looked at him long hair that was now tied in a neat bun.He has changed a lot as well, behind that playful glint is a man.He isn’t that boy I remember from back then who couldn’t watch his words.He is a man and judging from that look in his eyes a cunning one at that.“No, in fact I called you here to ask for your help,” I said, and he looked at me.“What? Do

Emma’s povI could feel Conan’s furious gaze on me.“Project Manager, she is an art teacher. What does she know about business?” Matte asked looking at me.Well, I am glad that me being here riled him up a bit.But I am not happy that I am doing this to Conan.He grew up feeling like Kyle always took everything away from him and now I did the same.I am sure to him; it looks like I used his worst fear to try and spite him.I sighed and then looked at Matt before rolling my eyes.“It isn’t your place to question my credentials Mr Knowles. That is my employer’s job and also our client,” I said and then smirked.“Your question me is the same as question Mr Shaw. I personally met with him myself and talked about the project. Are you questioning the intelligence of our client?” I asked Matt.I watched how his eyes widened as he looked at Mr Shaw trying to explain himself.“No, I didn’t mean it like that at all. I was just asking and since Mr Shaw approved you then I have no objections,” he

Emma’s pov“It’s late, do you want to have a late night dinner?” Kyle asked me.I looked at the time and it was already late just like he said.I am starving so I wouldn’t mind having dinner.“Don’t overthink it, it’s just dinner between colleagues,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.“Of course, I know that, but tell that to the tabloids that keep writing about our newfound relationship and calling me a gold digger,” I said, and he looked at me.“You never really strike me as someone who would care what others think,” he said, and I just shrugged.“I guess you don’t know me as much as you think you do,” I said, and he nodded.“Shall we go with my car?” he asked me, and I shook my head. “I want to drive home after that, so we can each use our cars. I will follow behind you,” I said, and he smiled.He didn’t say anything and then we both went to our respective cars and drove to the restaurant.We sat down and ordered some food and as I took the first bite I froze.“What is wrong?” Kyle ask

Emma’s povI watched as he froze completely, and his face went pale.“I am not saying that you did it. I know you; you wouldn’t betray me after all I did for you,” I said, and he nodded.“I would never do such a thing to you. You trusted me and gave me the best opportunity of my life. If it wasn’t for you then I would still be washing dishes,” he said, and I nodded.“I know that I was hoping maybe you would tell me if you saw anyone suspicious?” I asked him.He shook his head so much that I thought his head will come off.“No, not that I can think of,” he answered, and I nodded.“Excuse me, I know you said that you were hungry, but I just remembered that I had something important to do. Can I cook for you another day?” he asked me.I looked at the Pasta that was in the boiling water and then back at him.“You have your huge opening night tomorrow. Of course, I wouldn’t mind at all, see you tomorrow night,” I said and then smiled.“I am really proud of you Taylor. You got here all on y

Conan’s povI couldn’t get Emma out of my mind.That call when she was talking to her child, I saw a side of her I had never seen before.I have never seen her so vulnerable and so sad and in pain.She always had this look on her that you could never tell what she was feeling.But now, her emotions were as clear as day and I wanted to be there for her.I wanted to hold her, not only that but I wanted to see her daughter.Emma has a daughter, that child could have been ours.I could have joined in on that phone call with them and exchanged the many I loves you they told each other.That phone call, it made me wish for a life I knew I could never have.A life I had one dreamt of having with Emma.“Hi, I am here so we can get started on the project,” Jenna said walking into my office.“We are working on a project together, but we are not best friend. You stay in your lane,” I told her, and she frowned.“But when will you stop being rude to me?” she threw a tantrum, and I just rolled my e
