It had been three days since the arrival of the new CEO. Thankfully Rafael was so busy that Emerald did not see him in the office after the first encounter. She heard somebody saying that he was not in San Francisco.Which was good for her.After tucking Sofia in bed she kissed her head fondly and looked at her innocent face. She was thoroughly enjoying these last few days with Levisay's kids.Emerald needed to think of her future too.Daycare was the first option because the little chipmunk liked getting acquainted with her age fellows.Giving a final kiss on her chubby cheek, she left the room to join others for dinner.This was a special dinner. Hunter arranged it for her to bid her proper farewell before leaving the house. According to Hunter and Abigail, only closest friends were invited. Emerald knew those close friends including Ethan along with his latest date, Molly with her husband, and her friend Selina.Though she wanted Maya to attend the dinner but Maya was not available

Everything about her was a truth except this name and her low financial condition. She would explain to him that she took the name because she was scared that some stranger might want to stalk her in this unfamiliar country.After twenty minutes drive Alvin dropped her at the venue. She was escorted to a private lawn which was heavily lit with fairy lights. There were freshly lit scented candles on the table which was set for two. The handsome man was waiting for her with the cutest smile ever. Sometimes she wanted to shave away his heavy mustache and see what his facial contours were like.She knew he would look more handsome without it. But nothing mattered to her. Not his looks. Not the fact that he lived in a small apartment. Nothing.The only thing that mattered was his sincerity. Alvin had spoiled the surprise for her but she did not want to do this with Jacob.“You look beautiful, Guzel.” He kissed her hand and hugged her. Tonight for some odd reason she felt like he was not r

“What did he mean by that? I smelled of Vanilla!” “You must have lost your mind.” Her eyes dipped to his sexy lips. She could feel hotness in the room. The shirtless man’s face was quite close to hers and his icy blue eyes were looking into her green ones trying to reach her soul. “The lock is faulty! Does Abi know about it?” She asked the question more to his pink lips. A throaty chuckle escaped his mouth and he straightened. “No. I came here because I did not feel much sleepy. The lock felt a little loose so I just stuck the pebble there.” He walked away to the fridge and took out the beer cans, “And look what you did. Made me strand here along with you.” His hand came forward to offer her the can. When she shook her head, his hand did not budge. “Take it, Emerald. We might need to stay here overnight.” She kept looking at his face and then at last accepted it. She did not know how come he was here. The best way was to maintain a distance from him. “Do you need something to ea

Hunter offered him again to spend the night at the house but this time he declined. Staying close to this woman was dangerous. His guard would be down in her presence. She used to make him feel vulnerable.Today when he stepped into the office, he felt cheerful and extra chirpiness wrapped around his heart. Today he even managed to smile in the presence of one or two employees giving them almost a heart attack.They had always witnessed his serious side.Upon entering his office, his eyes went to the other side of the glass wall. She still had not arrived.“Where are you, Guzel? I am waiting for you.” His fingers were itching to call her and ask her where was she. As a boss, he did have their contact numbers.“Patience, Rafael.” He told himself, “Patience, mate!”***Emerald got ready for the office and carried sleeping Sophie to Selina’s bedroom to make her lie beside her.“Mommy,” She heard Sophie’s muffled voice against her chest, “Why we don’t have a daddy to tell us stories like

In Usual circumstances, she never liked the certain smell of hospitals.The sharp odor of disinfectants, the noise of emergencies. That particular sound of ambulance sirens.Patients going out happily once discharged.People coming in a panic state worried for their loved ones.A long time back, when Sophie's fever was not coming down she had to take her to the hospital. Hunter had stayed with her throughout.Tonight she panicked because she felt lonely. No one was there until Rafael showed up. Without asking any questions he took the little girl from her arms and climbed into the car.In the private hospital, they got the child admitted immediately. Once Sophia’s stretcher was wheeled inside the room, she was left alone with Rafael.Rafael seemed to have connections there. Emerald could see questions in his eyes but he didn't demand any explanations.Instead, he just put his arm around her to pull her tightly to him.Emerald didn't like the fact that she found his presence quite comf
