Emily Nelson A Simple Favor Novels & Stories

“Seriously, none.” Emily gave a short laugh. That was her move. It was even part of the reason that martinis were her drink. She saw Nathan Dormer coming from a mile away. He wanted to get laid, nothing more, nothing less. Looking the way he looked: killer smile; light, playful, green eyes; smug, handsome, carefree face; silky, blonde hair tempting you to drag your fingers through it; this guy probably didn’t hear the word no often, if ever. Hell, even she was having trouble despite knowing who and what he was, but damn it she was Emily Maine, not some cheap floozy.

Mia asked. “Name any price, and I’ll give it to you—if only you’ll do me a favor,” Emily said, her voice low and serious. “What kind of favor?” Mia asked, curious. “I want you to kill Lillian’s kids. I want those children dead,” Emily said coldly. “What?!” Mia gasped, almost screaming. She quickly covered her mouth, realizing people might be listening. “How could you ask me something like that? No, I can’t do that,” Mia said, shaken.

She showed a sharp, unfriendly look at Emmy and looked at Nina as if asking for an explanation. "Oh, this is Emily, my assistant," Nina replied, explaining, "Do you know her, Madam?" "Of course," Sonya replied quickly, "she's Nathan's haughty assistant, just like her boss." Sonya spoke with great emotion. "Oh, I don't know about that, Madam; all I know is that Emily applied to Nithany because I needed an assistant, so I hired her as my assistant, and I found her very professional." Nina gave an excuse.

"Emily, why don't you call Mr. Smith now? I can help you in dialing his number!" "You need not put your hope so high onto me. The only thing that I can do is to ask Mr. Smith about this matter." Emily looked at her coldly while taking the phone away and proceeding to dial Rammos' number. "Mr. Smith, I have a favor to ask from you. I have a relative with the name of Madelyn Barrack and is currently unemployed. I heard that the Floyd family is recruiting a servant and she is interested in it. Are you able to help me out?"

Emily was a little hesitant, but she still followed his words and shouted to Amelia on the bed. "Amelia, you should rest first. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help Uncle Cole!". After being half-hugged and pushed out of the door by Nelson, Emily looked at Nelson with some anger, "I haven't finished my words, and the time to visit is not up. What do you mean?". Nelson sighed. He looked at Emily seriously, and his smiling eyes became serious. "The matter between Alex and Amelia is not as simple as we think. You should stop interfering and let them solve it themselves."

BENEATH THE FACADE Behind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secret awaits. CHAPTER 2 Emily's POV My phone rang. I checked the caller ID. It was my best friend, Nyla Moreno “Hey bestie,” I said, yawning on the phone. I was just waking up. “My Emily,” Nyla replied as she fondly called me. “I'm sorry I was busy the whole week. We couldn't talk.” she added. “It's no problem dear. I totally understand.” I replied, reaching for the remote control. I was a fan of Telemundo movies and one of my favorite series was showing.

Another text came through from Keiko, another dancer: "I hear it is some oil executive's birthday. Big spender alert. Cammie says it is a politician’s son’s birthday tho." Perfect. Maybe I could finally cover rent and get those econ textbooks. The campus bookstore wanted three hundred dollars for books I'd use for one semester. Highway robbery. I started walking toward my apartment, already mentally preparing for the night shift. Five hours of sleep if I was lucky. Then it was off to showering, heavy makeup, and costumes that came with rib breaking corsets. It was quite easy to transform Jane Puckett, scholarship student and chronic coffee drinker, into Jailbird, the mysterious masked dancer

he said. "How kind of you! Am I now in debt for such trivial favors?" she said, frustrated. Noah let out a laugh. "You don't have to be so sarcastic. A simple thank you would be enough," he said, still standing in the same spot. Both of their breaths were quickening; Emily's chest rose and fell due to Noah's proximity, attracting her in a way she couldn't deny, but it was clear that she couldn't think she would have anything with someone like him. Someone who was just using her and had resorted to the lowest means to achieve it.

"Shameless. It was me who helped you." "Alright, let's call it a mutual favor," Ronald Richardson said, standing up and tossing his coat to one of his henchmen. He asked Emily, "Where are you headed? I can give you a lift." Emily replied coldly, "No need."

Nicole asked then and of course Rose took a deep breath. "You'll see. Liam is so busy and so am I. Why not just ask Emily for a favor?" Rose asked then and of course Emily turned to Rose instantly. Ah, she didn't even want to meet any strangers this time. It must be very complicated it seems. "Interesting idea, Emily even said that she already had her own idol and you are very sure of the man Emily meant," Nicole said later and of course this time she was looking at Emily with a meaningful smile. Emily was silent for a moment. Hm, if she thought about it she knew who was in Nicole's mind at the moment.
