EMILY POV

"You're flirting with him? I thought you said you were only going to use him to make Daniel jealous, to make Daniel realise that he made a huge mistake cheating on you," Olivia said, her eyebrow rising in suprise as she folded her arms across her chest. Her tone wasn't harsh instead surprised and a little bit worried.

I dropped my eyes to the floor,my fingers fiddling with each other in a speechless way. Her gaze on me tells she's trying to read every emotions written on my face.

"Liv, that was the plan at first," I mumbled. "But now....things are different. I didn't mean for it to happen but I'm starting to really like him. I'm beginning to enjoying his company more. It's becoming more than a crush, I think I'm falling for him in a hard way,"

Olivia gazed at me for a long moment, and suddenly widened her arms, pulling me into a tight, warm and comforting hug. I blinked twice, my arms hanging in the air.

    EMILY POVOlivia entered the kitchen and I stood at the doorway, folding my arms. "I forgot to tell you that Camille said she came over with the aim to apologize," I said, heading towards the counter, resting on it as I folded my arms across my chest. The memories of the meeting still lingered in my head like a bittersweet taste.Olivia scoffed. "The Camille bitch I know doesn't look like someone that knows how to admit to her stupidity not to talk of apologizing," She replied, rolling her eyes. "But why did Victoria tag along? Have you meet her personally before?""I haven't meet her personally before. I don't even know her, I only got to know all thanks to the introduction you did at the gala. I think they are getting suspicious about me and Ethan relationship. Camille caught us talking in a terrace at his family's gala event so she's probably piecing it together but Victoria..... she's hard to read," I expressed, spearing Olivia a glance as she began eating the breakfast I had prep

    EMILY'S POV"Olivia, what are you trying to say?" I asked, looking at her as my eyes narrowed. I could tell she was building up something but I just can't place my hand around it.She leaned forward, her fingers tapping on the table. "What I'm saying is that, don't you think it's time for you to start making use of your hands, those magical hands.""My hands?, Olivia, please be direct. What do you mean?" I asked, my eyes darting at my innocent hands.She gave me a small smile. "It's fashion. Emily, aren't you getting it. Your hands, your designs, your talent, the nous in your head. That should be your job now. Forget about Liu fashion store, it's their lost and yours," She asserted, giving me a big smile.It took me a minute for her words to click and almost immediately my eyes opened in excitement. "Olivia, how are you so fucking smart. You want me to start designing again right?" I inquired, and she nodded, in affirmation."Exactly. I want you to start designing, and not just desig

    EMILY'S POVThe morning light filtered in softly through the curtains, casting reflection across the room. My eyes flickered open, blinking multiple times as I stretched my soul and body. I could feel Ethan's arm around my chest, his chest rising and falling in rhythm. The faint scent of his cologne still lingered in the air as his arms made me feel safe, comfortable.....secured, almost like we are the only one on earth.I shifted and turned to face him. His dark hair tousled from sleep. I smiled softly, taking in the sight of him. He looks so at peace, vulnerable in a way that he didn't let anyone see. My fingers trace the contours of his face.Ethan stirred, blinking his eyes as it met mine. There was that look in his eyes, something deep and unspoken, like there was so much he wanted to say but for some reason he didn't."Good morning," I whispered, my voice thick with sleep."Morning," He replied, his voice low and rough. He reached out, pulling me closer as his lips find it way o

My soul has frozen, my heart slamming against my ribs when I heard Chloe's voice from outside.I was resting on the door, unsure of my next line of action,my thoughts racing faster than a cheetahMy entire body tensed at the idea of her walking in and discovering me here, in Ethan’s suite. The last thing I wanted was for her to put two and two together.I held my breath for a few more moments, counting the seconds in my head as I waited for her footsteps to fade down the hallway. When the silence was absolute, I dared to open the door slightly, just enough to peek out. My heart still raced, but thankfully, the hallway was empty.That was too close.I closed the door quietly behind me, taking a deep, steadying breath. I needed to leave. I needed to get out of here before anything else happened, before Chloe came back or someone else discovered me. Ethan had given me access to his suite, but that didn’t mean I was supp

I stared at Victoria, who was watching me closely with a smug expression on her face."I'll take my leave now," I said, turning my back at her as I clutched onto my bag and phone tighter. I got outside and reduced my pace."Emily," Ethan called again, his voice raspy.I walked out of the building, stepping on a pavement to wait for a cab."Yes," I finally answered, my voice low and steady.There was a brief silence on the other end before Ethan talked again. "You're ignoring me calls and kept my text messages on read. I guess that was deliberate," He said, frustration hinting in his voice mI swallowed hard, gripping my tote bag tighter against my side.
