Nothing so far

Emily's point of view:

It might seem a bit stupid to follow a stranger... Believe me, after what happened here this morning. It's way safer for me to follow Daniel than to keep up with Lucia.

.............

I followed the so-called Daniel to his BMW black mat car, not that I did have any other choice. Then I noticed that he sent off the guy that was supposed to be the driver I guess, which was a bit of an abnormal act. 

I stood still, not wanting to move any further. Meanwhile, Daniel was heading toward the driver's seat. As he settled himself, he came to notice that I wasn't following anymore.

" Waiting for an invitation? Or do you want me to open the door for you?" It wasn't a question more than it was an irony in itself.

I rolled my eyes at that sort of behavior. This man has a real sort of issue, once he's a gentleman and in another, he has nothing to do with the word 'gentleman'.

" All I want is to know where do you want me to go with you? Otherwise, I can't go with someone I don't know to somewhere which I also don't know." I said while crossing hands as I was about to show him that I wasn't afraid of him.

He then steps out of his car, then looks at me deep in the eyes without getting any close to me as he says.

" A while ago, you told me that life isn't fair! How about if I told you that I might make it more than just fair toward you?"

His worlds were promising me a sort of pink life, it's indeed what I want - still I know that nothing comes for free.

" Why are you asking for an exchange?" I asked him directly, not wanting to waste more time.

" You'll know when it's the right time for you to do..." He says, yet I was still having something up inside of my hair that annoys me. The reason why I asked him again.

" You know I'm not that type of girl?" He then chuckled before he said.

" You know! I'm very fond of the confidence you have, but you're far away from ly type cupcakes."

Though I felt hurt due to what he said, I faked a perfect smile as I answered his comment.

" Only God knows how comfortable I am to know that." He chuckled before he got inside his car. I joined him not waiting for him to say anything else. I sat 

The drive didn't last for too long before we reached the 'Westfield World Trade Center'. 

" Why are we here?" I asked him, and he ignored me. He got out of the car, then helped me out of the car. 

The moment we got out of the car, the two bodyguards from before joined us. 

"Can I at least know what's wrong?" I asked him while following him to where he was taking me. He then and finally decided on answering me, not missing the chance of making fun of me.

" Are we in a shopping center? What do normal people do in such a place?"

"Do I get that you want to shop and need my opinion about your shopping clothes picks?" I asked him not to be able to think about anything else, rather.

He then busted into a laugh before saying, "I would rather die before asking for your opening. I mean, girl - have you ever decided on looking at yourself in the mirror."

For a while, I started feeling dumbfounded, and I also was speechless not knowing what I had to say, but then I ended up cursing and mumbling beneath my breath. This man is a total jerk, and if it wasn't for the bodyguards behind him - I would've shown him his face.

Lost in my thoughts I was until he broke the silence with his annoying voice.

" Here we are!" Just by then, I came to notice that we were in the female clothes era, exactly inside of one of the boutiques. Besides that, it was a female, not a male boutique. It came to my view that most of the people around were eyeing it in a weird way.

Of course, since I have nothing to do - I decided to ignore the way they were looking at me, though the demons inside of my head were asking me to do so.

I kept following Daniel until he faced me with an old lady. That doesn't seem to be one of the selling girls. She was looking more like a female boss. She greeted Daniel the same way Lucia does, but he greeted her back in a different way.

"Daniel! It's my first time seeing you in public with a girl? Who is she?" She asked while pointing at me.

"She's nothing, no one - so far, and that's why we're here." He told her while looking at me.

Again, though, I was feeling my blood boiling. I mean, the man has just called me nothing. Still, I had nothing to do.

" What do you mean?" She asked, and his answer was.

" I want her to look classy, I know it's going to be hard - but I do trust you for that."

Her hand passed through her hair as if she was giving a hard task before she finally states.

" Did you just bring me a waitress, and you're expecting me to make her look like a lady?" Her question irritated me that I found myself speaking without thinking.

" What the hell do you think..." And without previous warning, Daniel snapped at me.

" Shut it! No one wants to hear from you."

Just by then, they went on finishing their speech as if I wasn't even existing.

" She even has no manners. Working on her would require time. A lot of time means a lot of money." The lady started to explain while pouring them both what seems to be wine. Again she didn't pour for me as if I wasn't existing. That was the least I cared about - I mean, it was still morning. Who would drink at such a time?

" You'll have all the time you need, just make sure you get her ready in no more than one month."

Now, I only wished to know if he was really able to change my luck as he promised or not. I'm so desperate to change my life that I kind of followed a man I know nothing about but the fact that he's rich and people fear him. Also, he promised me that he would change my life. In my point of view, I already have nothing to lose. It is quite the opposite, I would regret it more than not following him.

Lost in my thoughts I was till I felt someone shaking my arms. I raised my head to find that it was Daniel.

"I'll toss a coin to only know what's wrong in your mind!"

His face was so close to mine that I felt as if I was able to see his soul throw his eyes...
