The blaring of my alarm broke my peaceful slumber. Punching it off, I stretched my limbs before standing groggily on my legs.“Good morning, Jasper,” I said with a soft smile and kissed my locket. It’s the only memory I have of my true love. Wearing my slippers, I headed straight to the restroom to perform my daily routine.So, let’s start with the introduction. I am Emmaline Richard Dawson aka Emma. I am seventeen years old, an average teen blessed with a golden mind. Though I hail from a small town in Texas, I relocated to New York to pursue my career as a software engineer.Being a prodigy, I cleared the entrance exam of Wellington Institute of Technology which is the top university in New York in one attempt. As I am on my own so I didn’t have a problem with shifting. I grabbed all my belongings which were just a few pairs of clothes, my laptop, and a bunch of books, and shifted to New York without any hassle. I live in a small apartment which constituted of a single bedroom with
Reaching the college, Emma headed straight to her locker. Opening it, she started arranging her books oblivious to the fact that a pair of hawk eyes were watching her every move.It was none other than David Spade.Emma’s reticent and cold personality though kept her alienated from the world, she had a fair share of enemies. Her classmates were jealous of her grades and her ice-cold behavior only fuelled their resentment towards her. Some initially tried to befriend her but Emma didn’t give them any response. Not because she wasn’t interested but she knew that they wanted to earn some perks. Dejected and incensed, they all form a notorious cliquish club that always keeps plotting against her.The head of that club was David Spade, the captain of the college’s football team. David had a huge crush on Emma. Her dressing style was simple but her model-like figure, beautiful and cold blue eyes, and savage attitude enticed him. David tried hitting on her several times but Emma being Emma i
A black Mercedes Benz that was followed by a fleet of Range Rovers was pulled in front of the Knight Corporation. A group of men dressed in black suits and wearing Bluetooth earpieces and black shades immediately stepped out of their cars and covered the Mercedes Benz. One of the men opened the door and a shining black shoe came into view. The clicking of cameras and flashes increased rapidly as a man of 6’3” donning a dapper Armani Suit climbed out of the car in all his glory.The people gasped in shock as they were awestruck by the Greek God. His jet-black hair was coiffed perfectly. Their hearts twitched as they couldn’t see his beautiful eyes that were hidden behind the ray-ban but the billionaire was successful in stealing hearts with his mesmerizing features. His straight nose, perfect jawline, knife-shaped pink lips, high cheekbones, and his five o’clock shadow had all the girls drooling. Buttoning up his suit, the handsome hunk acknowledged the paparazzi with a stiff nod that
Humans.Fucking, I hate these bootlicking species. I was already pissed and those continuous flashes turned me blind. Taking the bouquets and greeting these jerks with fake smiles made me go nuts.I told Dad, I fucking told him I don't want to come here but no, he had to delegate all responsibilities to me.I am 25 and am still mateless. But unlike my buddy Scar who cries every night for his mate, I am happy that I am still free from this unwanted responsibility. I don't do commitments nor do I believe in love shits. The life of a bachelor was good. Engaging in carousal, hanging with friends, looking after my pack, and running in the woods without any care seemed more enticing to me rather than babysitting a girl.Girls are like a nightmare and I hope Moon Goddess keeps me mateless till eternity. Or until I meet a girl who matches my taste. Who would be headstrong, bold, mature, and fierce. It will be fine with me if she isn’t beautiful, all I need is a girl who can handle my pack and
EmmaI was in a quandary from the moment I returned home. Claire canceled my night shifts for today as the employees had thrown a small welcome party for the CEO. I couldn’t be more grateful to her as I was in desperate need to sort out my mind. My remedy was my books so I engrossed myself in them and started working on my assignments but my mind kept shifting back to Him.‘The girl who always avoided men couldn't help but think about her CEO again and again.’ Such an irony. "How can he read my mind?"I was still trying to figure it out ‘cause that was something shocking yet terrifying. No one knows my secret and I had no intention of revealing it shortly. For the first time in my life, I was intimidated that too by a human. Resting my back on the chair, I leaned my head back and stared at the ceiling, still drowned in thoughts."To think of it, maybe he was just flirting with me. It’s a natural thing among rich buffoons," I tried to convince myself but then again, how come he was
Knight CorporationDamien entered the premises wearing his usual domineering aura. The faces of his staff lit up as their smoking hot CEO graced everyone with his breathtaking features. Taking off his ray bans, he tucked them in his pocket and sashayed to his private elevator with his bodyguards following him.But something seemed off to him today.That euphoric redolence wasn’t there.His brows puckered in confusion. The atmosphere today was deprived of that sweet vanilla scent. Damien again inhaled only to wheeze as strong perfumes hit his olfactory bulbs. He looked behind only to see a group of women making eyes at him. Damien mentally rolled his eyes at them and slowly looked around, scanning the building.He saw her on the second floor yesterday. Damien wasted no time and scanned the second floor but couldn’t spot her. His doll was nowhere to be seen which leads him to two conclusions that either she hasn't arrived or was absent.But why?Was she sick? Or did she resign 'cause he
"Yeah sure. I would do that."Ending the call, Claire put the receiver back when suddenly the door burst open revealing a raging Emma. Claire was startled as Emma had always been respectful and courteous but today, she just barged into her office without knocking. What shocked her more was the unadulterated rage shining in her blue hues which looked like an ominous innuendo. She was giving her dangerous vibes.But somehow, Claire maintained her composure and shot Emma a stern look."What's this Emmaline?"She opened her mouth to berate her for her misbehavior but Emma beat her to it. She slammed the door shut and approached her with predatory steps.“I should be the one asking this, Ms. Williams", she retorted making Claire gulp.“Secretary for the CEO? Are you kidding me? I signed the contract to work as a tech expert not as someone’s assistant. You know I am a college student and I can’t work in the morning. On top of that, I know nothing about business. I never disrespected you and
"Please""No""Oh, come on, just this one""I said no."Emma rebuffed Stacy and swatted her hand that was holding the eyeliner. Stacy looked at her with a pout but Emma just rolled her eyes and kept arranging her stuff.As decided Emma had to skip college today and came to Knight Corporation for her interview. Though she put up a fight with Claire yesterday, after thinking about the whole thing all night, she concluded that Claire was innocent. She was only doing her job and Emma unnecessarily vented her anger on her. She was too guilty and ashamed of her behavior so she mentally made a note to apologize to Claire the next day. Talking about the interview, Emma was least excited cause at the end of the day, she would be simply backing off. Claire though advised her to explain her troubles to the CEO but Emma had made up her mind. She would straightway decline, that’s it.For her interview, Emma donned a plain pink shirt with black pants and nude stilettos. She tied her silver hair i
