"Is there anything else you will need Ma'am? " Will asked Emma’s mother who sat on the couch sipping the tea he just made for her. She wrapped herself in a shawl and declined Will’s offer. The man had done more than enough for her and her husband since Emma’s departure. "Thanks for everything. God bless you my boy. " Pearl told William as he stood in the parlor, looking around to see if there was still anything left to be done. “Don't mention Ma'am. " he replied. "I'll check whether the guys I asked to clear the shrubs behind are done. " Will told Emma's mother before dashing out of the living room. "Such a good young man. " she acknowledged. Ever since Emma left, he had stepped in acting like the son or rather son in law they never had. Pearl missed Emma terribly but she knew her leaving town was the best and fastest way for her to heal yet it didn’t stop her from feeling the way she did. Her husband Emma's father had tried to console her explaining how important it was for their

Will woke up earlier than usual. He was already up before his alarm clock could sound the signal. It was the day he will be reporting for duty at the Dan Delivery Services. He freshened up and was soon dressed in his work uniform with the inscription DDS boldly written in the back. He placed his wallet in his pocket and a DDS identity card with his name on it was around his neck. He made noodles and ate it before mounting the delivery bike given to him a day earlier. As Will drove to the Dan Delivery Services main office, he wondered how his first day at work will turn out. He recalled his first day at work in Emma’s house. He wasn't bothered because all he had to do was drive his friend around whom he was well accustomed with. Sometimes, he drove the few domestic staff on errands in Gideon's mansion. Today, he will be driving supplies instead. He prayed in his heart that his first day turns out easy as he intends to please whichever receiver he was delivering to. He pulled his bike

CHICAGO:Emma adjusted the rope that held the apron around her neck. "I don’t have to choke to get the work done." She muttered as she reduced the tightness of the rope a little bit. She looked gorgeous and had packed her blonde hair in a dough form. In her bar attendant uniform, she gazed around the busy atmosphere and her mind travelled to days spent at Gideon's bar in New York. It was always filled up and the noisy environment was as exciting as the club she was now working at. Just like Gideon's club, this place was lit and the warm expressions spread on the faces of the customers proved how much they loved the place. She smiled at Ellie her co-worker and now friend who was passing by with some tray of shots. She cleaned her forehead with her hand towel and resolved to clearing the empty glasses spread around the table before her. She was glad she had taken this job. Not only will the income help her fend for herself, she will also save to further her studies which she stopped

Emma walked into the clothing store downtown. She felt she needed new dresses especially now that her body was altering exactly the way she wanted it. She wandered inside the store and suddenly her attention was drawn to a sleeveless red top which hung on one of the clothing hangers by the corner. She quickly grabbed the top and went to the large dressing mirror in the store. She imagined how beautiful it would look on her and suddenly someone whispered into her ears saying "It will look perfect on you. " She was immediately frightened and turned around to see who it was that made her feel this jumpy. It was Mr. Arrogant as she had been referring to him lately. “You scared me to death. " she revealed panting heavily. "Did I?" He asked still standing so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She quickly took few steps back. “What are you doing here? " she inquired. "Are you following me? " she further asked then resolved to check him out. He wore a classy blue jean

NEW YORK CITY:Meanwhile in New York Gideon and Judy were at the cafe behind the office having lunch. They walked in after Gideon offered to pay for Judy's lunch that day because they've been having series of business meetings all through. Judy placed her phone opposite Gideon and was checking the menu card the waiter handed over to her. "I'll have the usual. " Gideon told the waiter who nodded with a smile. Lately, Gideon had been having his lunch daily at the cafe making Frankie his chef feeling unwanted most of the time. As far as Frankie was concerned, his pay kept coming. Soon, Judy and Gideon were having lunch and conversing. Gideon was having orange juice and burger while Judy was having potato chips and egg sauce. "Will that be all you'll have as lunch? " Judy questioned Gideon pointing at his meal. He smiled and nodded. "Come on, That's a mere snack. " Judy said. "I am okay Judy. " he told her. "If you say so. " she replied and continued eating. "So tomorrow, I'll t
