"Joel Manchester." She pronounced the first name on the list.
Of course, that was the CEO of Empire World Corporation.
She scoffed and shook her head. Emily couldn't possibly be living with Mr. CEO, there was no doubt about that.
"Elder Choi," she called out the second name on the list.
"Hmmmm," She hummed nasally.
Emily couldn't be living with the Chois. Rachel knew the Chois' Miss-Nancy- was a spoilt brat who wouldn't let any lady go near her.
"Hmm, Mr. Kang..." She stroked her chin as she read out the third name on the list.
Joel hastily withdrew his head and looked away. He sucked in his lips and looked out through the window.After a few seconds, he looked back at Emily and cleared his throat awkwardly."Yah,why did you wear an exposing dress in this cold. It's winter, you know?" He frowned.He took off his coat and drapped it on Emily's shoulders.He took Emily's hands in his and breathed on them, rubbing his hands on her's. Emily's lips curled up in a cute smile as she watched her boyfriend do what he did. Oh! How she loved the man. Joel looked up at Emily and planted kisses on her hands. "Saranghae." He muttered silently. "Nado saranghae." Emily replied.(A/N: nado saranghae means I love you too.) Joel smiled.He stared at Emily's lips for a few seconds and without saying anything else, he took Emily's lips in his mouth.Slowly, he dropped her hands in her laps and cupped her jawlines with his hands as he deepened the kiss, nibbling and sucking on Emily's lower lip.With her eyes clos
"Good boy." Emily chuckled and rushed upstairs to take her bath."So,do you want this one or this one?" Emily asked Little Pumpkin, touching two tuxedos at a time.After she had her bath,she had driven out of the villa with Little Pumpkin to shop for him.Immediately they arrived at EWSM, with the help of an assistant, they had walked straight to the tuxedos' line."Hmm..." Little Pumpkin placed his index finger on his lips as he stared at the two tuxedos. One was blue and the other was white. He loved both colors, and now, he was being indecisive.Noticing the expression on Little Pumpkin's face, Emily chuckled.After a short while, she smiled. "You know what,let's just buy the two of ‘em.”Little Pumpkin jumped up delightedly. "Yay!"Emily wrapped the two tuxedos and together with Little Pumpkin, they headed towards the cashier.With the debit card, Emily paid for the tuxedos."Erm, my darling, do you know that you own this place?" Emily whispered into Little Pumpkin's ear as they w
“Mr. Michael is your wife still not back from where she travelled to?!”“Mr Michael?!”Michael did well to avoid the reporters. He picked two masks in the tray for himself and his son and headed to their table with Little Pumpkin.Even though they passed through different directions in order to avoid suspicions, Joel and Emily's cars still ended up at the venue the same time.Immediately The CEO stepped out of his car,please and reporters trooped out towards his direction.“Mr CEO you are looking breathtaking as usual.”“CEO Joel how do you feel tonight?”“Where is your date?”“Where is Danielle?”“CEO Joel you look like the good you truly are.”“CEO Joel, isn't Miss Danielle coming?”“You didn't come with her?”“Who is your date then?”“Who are you going to be dancing with?”Joel ignored the reporters' questions and walked towards the entrance with his guards.Emily had stepped out of her car and was also walking towards the entrance when she was unknowingly pushed by one of the repo
He looked up at Noah, as if asking for help from him. Noah looked up at his boss and gave him the 'I don't know too boss' kind of look.Joel sneered and looked back at the tray."Which one?" He muttered softly as he pressed his index finger on the tiny bud in his ear."The brown paper boss." Came the reply.He nodded his head and wasted no time in picking the scrunched brown paper. He handed it over to his assistant and looked back at the crowd.Danielle's body systems were now malfunctioning due to the paper she was staring at in Noah's hands.Out of all the ladies in the hall, she was nervous the most.She knew who Joel was going to dance with but she still had a tiny bit of hope it would be her.But what if it wasn't her he picked? The shame. How was she to face people with the shame? What about the reporters?She was still deep in thought when she heard Noah announce the name she dreaded the most in her life. EMILY CHEN."Ahem." Noah had cleared his throat as he unwrapped the pie
What the CEO had meant by they should move it, he didn't know. Maybe he knew where the future lady of Empire World Corporation was… Stone sighed.Danielle snapped her head to the left, trying to figure out where Emily was seated at. But she didn't see anyone that looked like the wench. She looked beside her and saw that Michael had also disappeared.'Where are they?' She asked herself rhetorically in her mind.'Or ...' She looked around again but still didn't find Emily.Exactly! Anderson had began moves. Danielle smirked.A message popped up on her phone and she hastily read it. It was from Anderson, and it was a message that confirmed her suspicions.Danielle's smirk turned into a wide grin. It was time to move.She stood up on her feet and took a secret exit out of the hall.Almost immediately, Joel stood up on his feet and trailed after her, leaving some distance between them. Danielle got out of the hall, walked towards her car, looked around to make sure she wasn't being wat
He stood up on his feet. He had decided to go hear out his brother."Wae?” Emily had furrowed her brows as soon as she had seen him stand up."Hmmm... I need to work." Joel replied.Emily stared at him for a while and nodded her head. "Arasso."Joel then smooched her cheeks and walked out of her room."Joel, there's a problem." Michael rushed out immediately he saw Joel walk into the garden."Hyung...." Joel's voice had trailed off.It was obvious his brother was bothered about something."Hyungnim... what is it?" Joel had asked."First, I got a message..."Michael’d taken his time and had explained everything to his younger brother, leaving no iota of information out.After listening to everything, Joel heaved out a sigh. He was also been confused.But he then decided to go on with the captor's plans. He knew that even if they gave him Emily, he wouldn't release Evelyn, and besides, he, Joel, wasn't willing to give Emily to anyone. He wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.A
Before one could say jack, Minister Lee was already in midair with the CEO's right hand wrapped around his neck. Without a warning, the CEO threw the minister away.Minister Lee flew across the room and his head hit the wall as he landed on the floor.Seething with anger, Joel walked over to where Lee had landed and without a word, he grabbed him roughly by his collars and pulled him up to face him.Groaning in pain, Minister Lee stared at the man before him and he almost peed on his body at the sight he saw."You! You had the guts to abduct my wife! You are done for!" Joel forced out between clenched teeth.Minister Lee broke into cold sweats after her heard the CEO's words, he couldn't help but pee on his body. He knew he was truly done for.Furiously, the CEO sent eighteen rapid punches to Minister Lee's face and then finished him off with double kicks, one on his stomach and the other on his face.Blood gushed out of Minister Lee's mouth as he fell to the ground.Without giving h
He locked Emily's hands in his and walked out of the ward.As they walked through the passage, Emily took a peek through the glass windows of the ward opposite Joel's.She looked down at the frail body of the lady lying on the hospital bed. Taking her gaze away from the lady, she shifted it over to the man on the chair who had obvious eye bags below his lids. He looked weary and tired but in between those looks was a look of determination. Determination to stay wide awake until the lady on the bad gets better.That man, Emily knew. Michael Manchester.She furrowed her eyes as Joel led her down the passage towards the back exit.'Who is the lady...' she thought.She shrugged off the thought as she stepped in the car, Joel holding the door open.She was going back to the villa.*****As soon as the couple arrived at the villa, everyone was happy that they were back. They all felt their absence. The maids, guards, gatekeepers, and the chef waited anxiously for their arrival.None of them
