Sam realized a little too late he let his true feeling out. Emma Jean knew he had reservations of his relationship but not to this extent. She couldn’t say anything to him, knowing he didn’t want sympathy she changed the subject. “So, I asked Kenji to come to the Gala.”
He was grateful for the change in subject. “You asked him to be your date?”
“Not really. I asked him to meet me there.”
He sighed. “What if he doesn’t show up?”
“If he doesn’t show up, he doesn’t show up.”
“I may have only worked with you for a little while, but even I can tell that you would be brokenhearted if he don’t show up.”
“Hush. Let me pretend to be strong when I want to be.”
Sam pulled her in for a sideways hug. At that time Kieran came out of the store with his suit in his hand. He narrowed his eyes seeing the two of them in that position.

Kenji had decided against going to the gala but Mrs. Jackson got him to change his mind. “I know that Emma girl asked you to go to her charity event. You should go.”“Nah, Mrs. Jackson. It’s fine. She made her amends and it’s alright if I don’t show up.”She grabbed onto his ear pulling him down to her eye level. “Go put on a nice suit and go. She waiting on you. That young lady likes you.”“Ow, Mrs. Jackson. She already has someone that likes her.”She let’s go of him. “You young folks don’t know how to listen. I swear you can’t listen with your eyes? She invited you specifically. She wants you there cause she likes you.”“How you listen with your eyes?”“Don’t you sass me. Go get ready. I better see you there. I’m not about to put on my good hair and you don’t event bother to show up.” She walked away, miffed at his

Johnny was unaware of the pair of eyes on him. He entered the venue, in awe of the way Emma Jean could pull together something so elegant. He was wandering around seeing the different kinds of people she had begun to associate herself with. Young and old alike they all were from different backgrounds. When he had seen the video of her voicing her opinion, he had hoped she would be the cause of ruin for the company. He knew of several corporations that would have liked to take over the company.Emma Jean knew he was employed by her because he was now there, forgetting that she had opened the event to any and everyone that wanted to attend. Her heart started to race as the anxiety she was feeling started to take over. She clutched at her chest and lowered her head. She tried to take deep calming breaths to no avail. Kenji could tell that she wasn’t herself. He looked around to see if there was someone that could help him. Everyone seemed to be busy enjoying themselves. He

Emma Jean stood behind the podium, looking out at the audience. She locked eyes with several different people. Giving them all a smile she launched into her speech. “On behalf of the park and my family. I want to thank you for coming out to assist in helping those less fortunate. I know in light of my recent transgression I want to apologize once again for my thoughtless and stupid opinions. I meant every word of what I said. I will do all I can to assure everyone of the stance I will take for and with those in need. So, eat and drink merrily. Make sure you open your wallets and hearts later at the silent auction. Thank you, once again for joining us on this occasion.”She stepped away from the podium. Kieran walked up to make an announcement. “The silent auction will start in a roughly half an hour. Make sure you genuinely bid on some of the items available. There’s something for everyone.”Emma Jean immediately walked back to Kenji with an o

Kieran narrowed his eyes at Johnny. “Dallas may have thought you were unworthy because you treated her like crap. If you really loved her, you wouldn’t have taken the money nor would you have treated her the way you did. You should probably leave before I have security escort you out.”Johnny just chuckled. “I’ll be going but if I was you id keep an eye out on that guy. He isn’t good news. You think I’m bad just know that he is so much worse.”“You need not worry about him; I’ll take care of him.” Kieran took that chance to walk away. He didn’t have anything more to say to Johnny. Johnny watched him walk off with a smirk tugging at his lips. There was something only he knew.Kenji led her to the open dance floor. Emma jean allowed him to bring their bodies close together. Others around them could sense a burgeoning love between them. Kieran pushed his way through the crowd to get to Emma jea

The police refused to listen to Kenji, they continued to shout orders at Kieran. Begrudgingly, he complied with their orders. He rolled slowly over onto his stomach and raised his hands up in the air. The Officer closest to him hurried to place his knee on Kieran’s back while he handcuffed him. He began to quote the Miranda rights. “You have the right to remain silent anything you say can an will be used against you in a court of law.”Kieran was confused as to why he was being arrested. He didn’t resist. Kenji wanted to know why they would arrest Kieran but wanted to be with Emma Jean. He was torn by what to do. The paramedic had finished loading her in the ambulance and was about to leave. He had to make a decision quick. He looked at the paramedic, “Can you give me two minutes? This man is her assistant and I need to at least tell her what’s going on when we get to the hospital.”The paramedic looked at his watch and agreed.

Emma Jean woke up in the hospital, her head was bandaged. She blinked several times before her eyes focused on the bright lights of the room. There was a warmth radiating from her arm. She looked to see what was causing it. Kenji was holding her arm; his head was resting on the bed. Emma jean groaned trying to move her hand. That caused Kenji to stir. He turned his head in a different direction. Emma jean smiled softly at him. Her heart was thumping loudly in her chest. “Kenji? Wake up. My arm is numb.”Kenji stirred some more. He mumbled in his sleep. “Five more minutes mom. Mmm.”She giggled. He looked innocent with his eyes closed. His long lashes seemed to dance against his cheeks. His hair was cut short, shorter than she remembered. Emma Jean wiggled her fingers to get free of his grasp. Once she could feel her hand was freed, she brushed them over his unblocked cheek. “Kenji, how can you be so defenseless?”“Becaus

Emma Jean looked at him. She didn’t get why he made that face. It wasn’t that strange to make an assumption like that when two people get along well, forgives each other, and why wouldn’t she want to give him a chance when he stayed with her while she was in the hospital. It’s quite normal. “You should close your mouth. I know it’s a hospital and all but it’s open so wide something can fly inside.”Kenji listened to what she had said and closed his mouth. He ended the call and handed her back her phone. He moved as if he was running on autopilot. He wanted to say something but his brain stopped loading when he recalled the prospect of a relationship with her.Emma Jean just watched him, his movements were robotic. Once she had her phone back in her hand she snickered. She covered her mouth with her four fingers. Her nurse had left the room. “Kenji? How long have we been in here?” She had hoped that would bri

Kieran was booked for conspiracy charges. He sat in the jail cell trying to figure out how he ended up here. If he hadn’t made a deal with the devil. He wouldn’t be here. He wished to go back in time to warn Emma Jean about the woman that was after her. It was all too late. He had to wait until he was arraigned and his lawyer contacted.The cell next to him was opened then closed. He looked over to see who would be his neighbor. The very woman that caused this mess was there. He narrowed his eyes. “Shannon you have a lot of nerve saying I told you to do this.”She gave him a wicked smile and shrugged her shoulders. “Meh, so what. I may have pushed you into helping me but if I’m going to take her down. I plan to take everyone close to her down.” Turning her back to him she cackled.Kieran sighed he wished an officer heard this farce of a conversation. He wasn't thinking about the fact they didn’t have much com
