100 Days With Mr Romero

While the guests at the new bar Emma just launched were having fun, She made her way upstairs to her new office.

She carefully opened the door and smiled after seeing the office. Her assistant had designed the place and arranged the room exactly the way she demanded.

She walked gracefully to the table and moved to the right. She fell on the large comfortable chair and shut her eyes. She is now a boss she told herself.

Even though Sam gave his bar to her back in Los Angeles, Emma never really felt that was hers but now, she was feeling on top of the world.

She placed her phone on the table then got up to examine the curtains. She ran her hands through it and checked inside the refrigerator which was stocked with different kinds of expensive wine.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring and Emma hurried to the table and picked it.

“Hello! ” she responded after answering the phone and placing it on her left ear.

“Hello. ” repeated Emma but there was no response.

She waited for the caller to speak but nothing was said. She ended the call and just when she wanted to place the phone on the table, it began ringing again. She answered and yet there was no reply.

She held the phone and continued surveying her office. Then her phone rang again for the third time. The anonymous caller thought Emma.

She smiled after recognizing the caller. It wasn’t the anonymous caller.

“Hello William. ” she called out excitedly.

“Hi. ” he replied from his end.

“I’ve missed you. ” he told her.

“I’ve missed you too. ” she replied.

“Of course we can meet up. ” she agreed then ended the call and smiled.

Emma went back to her chair and sank in it. She shut her eyes and for the first time in a long while, she was thinking about Gideon.

If there was one thing that fueled Emma’s desire to get established in the business world, it is her revenge towards Gideon.

Even though she wanted to work and earn, she never imagined for once in her life that she will come this far.

Gideon had pushed her into becoming the woman she now is and he will pay for the results she thought.

Ever since she stepped into New York, she had been targeting Gideon’s clients. She went after his investors and sponsors. She convinced his investors by offering them more than what Gideon could offer and took away his sponsors from him.

She smiled inwardly imagining how frustrated Gideon must now be seeing that he was loosing clients and investors. She had just began she told herself.

Emma had targeted all the partners of Romero bars and won them over. So far, she had pulled five out of the seven business partners Gideon has in new York.

“Two more partners to win over. ” she declared to herself.

Her agents were doing well with their research and reliable information.

Emma immediately remembered she was to meet with William her friend that night so she got up from her chair, lock the door and headed out to meet him.

Will was already seated in the cafe he was to meet with Emma that night. Their eyes met the moment he turned around and he quickly ran to meet her.

“I’ve missed you Emma. ” he said hugging her tightly.

“I’ve missed you too Will. ” she said.

“Sorry We couldn’t keep in touch since you moved into the city. I’ve been quite busy. “Apologized Will after they broke out from their embrace.

“No it’s fine. ” replied Emma.

“You look hot and dashing. ” complemented Will while Emma giggled.

“Thank you. ” she said and they went to the table Will earlier sat.

“I must confess that I love this transformation of yours. ” he told her after they sat.

“Thank you Will. ” Emma responded with a smile.

“I must say you are looking very handsome. ” commented Emma.

Will chuckled. He was dressed in a fine wine color suit and black leather shoes. His neatly well carved hair was glowing and his sparkling wristwatch was just perfect.

“Thanks for the complement. ” replied Will.

“I must say Chicago has treated you well. ” hinted Mike while Emma was pointing at the dishes she had selected from the menu card to the waitress slightly bending beside her.

“You look like a model. ” he added.

Will wanted to remind Emma that she had gone back to the figure she was before having Ryan but he knew talking about such events could raise calm seas so he chose his words carefully.

“What have you been doing in Chicago? ” he asked her.

“Lot’s and lot’s of stuffs. ” she replied then proceeded to help the waitress in setting the dinner she was to have with Will.

“I’m so proud of you Emma. ” Will commended her.

” You look way better than when you left and I’m certain you will do lot’s of unimaginable things in the city. ” he added.

“Yes. Lots of unimaginable things. ” affirmed Emma with a nod.

“Thank You so much for everything Will. ” Emma said folding her palms before him.

“What for? ” he asked looking surprised.

“My mom told me everything. ” she replied.

“Oh come on Emma. What are friends for? We are like family right? ” Will told her.

“Yes. ” agreed Emma with a nod.

“Nevertheless, thank you. ” she added.

After Emma fled to Chicago, Will had been dropping by at her parent’s house to check on them. While Peter was away for college and knowing fully well how Pearl hated eating outside, Will showed up once in a while to cook for Emma’s parents. He also helped them fix some things around the house, ran errands and conversed with Pearl for long house to ease her worry.

“Tell me about your job at the delivery company. ” Emma requested.

“Why don’t we have dinner first. I’ll tell you all about it. ” replied Will.
