CEO Emma

In a company, tall and mighty, In the last floor, an office was suited.

The wallpapers screamed richness, the tiles made of gold, pure white.

On the CEO chair sat a lady who was busy screeching her hands on the laptop.

Her face was sharp that it gave out a vibe, but still the concentration she possessed made her look like a workaholic.

The clock on the other end ticked 5:00pm, the lady seemed not to joke with her time, as time was very precious.

Standing up, she took her bag and left her office. She took the elevator and walked out of the company.

Many gushed at her, she seemed so mighty, so strong, they all admired their female CEO, they admired her.

She walked with great esteem, her high heels clanking on the floor as she surpassed the by walkers.

As was she halfway through her car, she swiped up her car keys to get in, she got in and started the car.

As she was about to start the engine, when her phone beeped through her bag.

With flickered eyelashes, the lady swiped up the caller ID, her mouth formed an 'O'.

"Emma" A thick yet surpassing voice was heard.

"Grandma" She simply acknowledged her, there was no warmth in her voice, it was just void as if her Grandma was of no use to her.

"You are to come for a date, we are waiting for you at the imperial restaurant" The old woman hanged up.

Emma scoffed, Date? Imperial city? yeah, right.

She had lost her parents at a very young age, she begged her grandma to let her leave in their family mansion, but her grandma simply because she hated her mother for no reason at all, forbade her to leave in the mansion.

She slept in the streets, begging for money, she was also an heiress rightful to her father's property, but her partner family drove that all away.

And now she was someone, she rose to be someone powerful, someone no one could stand, and it seemed to be working just fine. She was a ruthless dare devil, no one cared for her, except her best friends, Arya and Niccy.

Now her grandma acknowledges her, what a life.

Feeling skeptical, she started the engine and drove off to the restaurant, she didn't have more to waste, nor she didn't have more to lose.

After a ten minutes drive, she arrived at the popular restaurant,  imperial restaurant was popular for their fresh sea food and their baked goodies.

Even with her office suit, she came out the car, and walked into the restaurant, she held a demeanour that anybody who glance at her would not help but glance back to looked at the sharp gaze.

Her green eyes scrutinised the whole restaurant, she seemed to be searching for something and when she saw it, she stroded towards her grandmother.

"Grandma" The gaze on the old woman was sharp, as if telling her not to waste her time, because the vulnerable young woman loved her precious time more than anything in the world.

As they say, time is precious.

"Emma" The old woman stood up to get hold of her granddaughter but it seemed like her grand daughter detested her touch so much.

The old woman was wearing a slight agbada ( flowing gown) her grey hair flowed, even though she was old, the lotions, creams and treatments she used made her look still young.

"Grandma, who is this?" Emma focused her eyes on the young dazzling man in front of her.

He was wearing his business suit, his hair was combed back gently, and he gave out a friendly vibe.

"Emma, this is Bose" Grandmother Martha smiled, it was as if she had practised that smile for years, that it became part and parcel for her. 

"Nice to meet you" Emma said to the man, no smile or what so ever came out from her lips. Just her straight face.

The man known as Bose also stood up, "Nice to meet you" He smiled at her, when she came through that door, she was beautiful in his sight, he had loved her just by seeing her.

The old woman laughed, "Let me leave you love birds to chat, I will be in another corner"

Emma: who said we are love birds?

"Please sit" Bose smiled as he pointed at the seat.

This wasn't the first, it was the second, it was the third, it was the twenty sixth time she was going on a so called blind date.

Emma sat down.

After two minutes, no words came out from her mouth, it was just pure silence, Bose didn't get it, why was she not blabbing like any lady he went on a blind date with. 

He was the CEO of Tech.Inc a very flourishing company in all of the country.

"Are you hungry?" He asked putting more food on her plate.

However what she did surprised him to the very core, she took his hands and was almost in the verge of snapping it into two, "Last time I remembered, I was never handicapped to put food on my table, do not pass my boundary" Her tone was sharp.

Her sharp hand pinned him down, he could almost yell in pain, but he restrained himself, he was a man, and man do not get intimated by woman.

With a void expression, she let go of his hand.

In shock, he steadied himself, he didn't actually got himself.

He was scared and that was for sure.

Emma smirked in her mind. When she noticed her grandma sharp gaze over her, she decided to play along.

She rested her head over her elbows, as she stared at the man.

"Tell me, will you be honoured to marry me?" She looked sinister, her face was straight, demanding an answer from the man.

Bose was taken aback by her sudden question, "Yes"

"Huh?" She asked.

"I would be really honoured to get married to you" Bose smiled.

"Then I am sorry, because that would never happen in a million years" She smirked.

The man was embarrassed, no girl had ever turned him down, so why this proud CEO?

Seeing his look, she had attempted to intimidate another date of hers.

She took a bag, "I will leave now, nice meeting you" She attempted to leave but was held in the arm by Bose.

"Who do you think you are, huh? playing and toying with me. Are you out of your mind?" He said with anger.

Everyone shifted all their attention to them, even Grandma martha had rushed to them, she had a panicked expression.

What if he cut all our ties?

With a panicked expression, she wriggled 

Emma's hand. "Hurry up and apologise to him, else he gets angry"

Bose felt proud, he tightened his grip on her. "Kneel before me and I will let you go" 

Kneel?

Was this man insane?

"Hurry up and Kneel" As always, she cared for her money and nothing else.

She must be joking.

His grip brought no pain to her, as she had already learned how to tackle her opponents.

She could stay here for hours even if she care, but this young lady cared about time, it was already 5:30 and she had to leave fast.

She had no time for silly pranks right now.

Raising her hand up in the hair, she gave the man a hot slap which made him realise his grip on her immeiedatly.

Everyone gasped at the woman's braveness. Some like it while some detested it.
