Make sure you confirm the numbers before making any presentation before the board, Emily," I said and rounded off the meeting.Emily bowed and stepped out in anger. She headed for her office but a few executives stopped to talk to her."You don't have to be discouraged. You did great there," one of the directors said."We look forward to your next presentations," another said and smiled.They shook hands with her and left while one of the directors, who was a young man, waited behind. I stood at the hallway as if speaking to Jude while I listened in on their conversation. "Great job, Emily. I loved your presentation and I'm impressed you got all that done in a few days. The hardest part was the market and client research which you've done successfully," Mr. Jeff said."Thank you so much, Jeff.

I was infuriated because he kept playing the good guy, making me the bad guy in front of Emily.I suppressed my firm grip on her arm and stared at Kay, "I'm talking to my wife right now so I'll appreciate the privacy," I said and glared back at Emily who looked at me with contempt. She obviously thought I was the rudest man ever but I cared less."When would you stop being so overly dramatic? And why do you feel so insecure when Emily's with me?" he asked and shrugged."Let's have a man-to-man talk. Emily should leave us for now," he said.I had always respected Kay until the moment he roped me in a serious drug case in high school.I felt betrayed ever since and we couldn't see eye to eye most times.

I couldn't stand his questions so I made to exit the office.However, he grabbed me and pulled me into a corner. His body was huge, masculine and tall over mine and I couldn't fathom why he had me in that position.He looked down at my face then on my lips.

LEO POVI had just got off the phone with my father who requested to meet me and Emily the next day. I could not put my finger around the reason he suddenly grew fond of Emily.At the start of the contract, we had agreed that we would use Emily to clear up any scandal that could stop me from getting the chairmanship position and expanding R & B Group into new waters.It was surprising that he was starting to like the girl he couldn't have chosen for me as a bride. An ordinary stripper who quickly denied her profession just to be in a fake marriage contract with me.I sighed and went back to the golfing area where I'd left Emily and Kay. I felt it was unsafe to leave my wife with my brother but it occurred to me that I might simply be insecure and there might be nothing to it.As far as I'm concerned, Kay wasn't interested in women.
