Emma Jean knew she was right. Taking a deep breath she got in her social media account. There were tons of mean and spiteful comments. Many calling for the park to be shut down, others telling her to kill herself. It’s the first time in her life she ever felt hated by something she said. She was about to close out of her account when Kenji took her phone away from her.“You can do this.” He started a live feed pointing the camera at himself. He gave her a chance to calm down and get her bearings. “Listen up you trolls. Calling for someone to kill themselves for making an unconscious statement is just as bad if not worse than what Emma said. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Just as she didn’t know what other people went through doesn’t mean you know what she went through either.”People that started watching the feed were sending hateful remarks. Emma Jean didn’t want him to get gated on too. She took her phone away fr

Shannon watched as Emma Jean headed out of the house, finally away from them and Kenji. She didn’t want to reveal herself to be his classmate just yet. It’s not like she was embarrassed of her current state, more so she would rather he not look upon her with pity. Kenji stayed at the shelter a little longer helping out with the kids.Kieran had waited for her out in the car with Sam. The two men sat in silence until Emma Jean emerged from the inside. Kieran watched as she walked towards them with her head held high. He had been going over their social media account since she did the apology video. The comments were favorable for the company. More people commented on how the two of them looked wonderful together. He hated those comments. Same exited the car to open the door for her. Kieran stayed rooted to his spot when she slides inside.“Kieran, did you finish getting everything prepared for the gala? Is there something else that needs to be done?&rd

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.

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

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
