Chapter 3

• “Hey, the toy is mine, I saw it first” Emerald finally said
• “But too short to get it?” Williams replied
• “That’s not very nice, I’m not short, I’m petite” Emerald retarded
• Emerald finally gets to talk to him face to face and this is the first thing he says? How rude
• Williams chuckled quietly
• “Are you laughing? What’s funny?”
• “Who takes it, owns it. I’m taking the toy” Williams said
• “You’re grown man, what are you doing with a plushy” Emerald scorned at him
• “You’re a grown woman, what are you doing with such toys” Williams replied unfazed
• Then he stood still and looked at her.
• The look gave Emerald shivers, his eyes looked fiery
• “Can we go out sometime?” He asked
• ‘What, is he asking me out on a date ?’
• Emerald couldn’t comprehend
• “Uhh… I dunno” Emerald replied trying her best to look unbothered
• “On Friday, anywhere you want to go” Williams replied, then walked away like some emotionless robot.
• “What just happened” Maddie jumped out
• “Gosh Maddie you scared me”
• “Did he just ask you out on a date?”
• “I don’t know, am I supposed to care?” Emerald scoffed
• This is the second time they’ve met and Emerald has failed to confront him. Standing in front of him immediately makes her feel intimidated
• “Hm, he might not be as inconsiderate as we thought after all” Maddie nudged Emerald as they walked to the counter.
• ---------------------
• Williams returned to his house and went straight to his study
• “We have a lot on our hands, milky ways corp. is trying their best to get our hands dirty”
• He looked at Zach who Just stood there staring at him.
• “ send someone to deliver this toy to the family villa. Stacy would love it.”
• Stacy is Williams’s stepsister. The only person Williams loves dearly.
• “Yes sir” Zach responded
• Williams sat in front of his laptop and suddenly thought of something
• ‘That girl…, why am I so attracted to her?. I get it, she’s pretty and she looked even more pretty today in that yellow dress
• “Yellow dress?, why do I care about some girl's dress” Williams shrugged off the thought.
• “I’m only marrying her to teach Pedro a listen, I thought he would back out if I said I would marry his daughter in return for a finalized deal. But instead, he agreed wholeheartedly. It’s obvious he doesn’t care about family”
• “Sir, Pedro is a selfish man” Zach added
• “Why are you still here ?” Williams didn’t realize Zach had been standing next to him all this while
• “ sorry sir” Zach apologized and went out hurriedly. He did not want the wrath of his cold boss to befall him.
• Williams continued his work. Sorting out papers and clicking on computers
• ———————————————
• “Is the document ready?”
• “Yes sir”
• “Good. The almighty Williams huh? M&U foods. You won’t be able to escape this one.
• I’ll bring you so low, you’d beg to get back on your feet ha ha ha”
• (Scene fades with hysterical laughter in the background)
• ————————————————
• “Aunty!, why can’t you convince him? I knew him before my sister and he chose my sister over me??. He doesn’t even know that sly witch. How I wish she wasn’t born”
• “Hush now Capri!, she’s still your sister”
• “But she’s always taking what’s mine”
• “I’m going to convince Williams don’t worry, I’ll set a date for the both of you to meet each and talk. He’ll come around trust me” Williams’s stepmom smiled
• Capri chuckled…
• ———————————————
• The cool night breeze brushes Emerald’s face as she lies on her bed reminiscing about that day’s encounter. Williams… he looked soft and hard at the same time, he had this aura of command and….something that Emerald couldn’t quite point out.
• Emerald wondered why someone in his class would want to marry someone like her. Everyone in the business world knows that M&U is one of the largest companies and those large companies usually set up their Children with each other, she‘s nothing like those spoilt heiresses.
• “I think I should just go to sleep, he’s probably going to call off the wedding soon. Maybe that’s why he wanted us to go on a date. Because he doesn’t look like someone who would marry ME!!. People of his caliber always end up marrying some spoilt heiress”
• ‘Nice!!’
• Emerald slept, smiling and swimming in her delulu thoughts.
• —————————————————
• (The next morning)
• “Good morning boss”
• “Good morning sir”
• Williams walked straight to his office.
• He found someone sitting and waiting for him.
• “What are you doing here?” He asked, looking at her with deadly eyes.
• She stared back at him like she wasn’t fazed.
• Hyeri, the daughter of a big cosmetics company. Korea’s princess, as people would call her. She’s Williams's childhood friend and childhood sweetheart as their parents used to call them.
• “Oppa..” she called out
• “Don’t call me that, I’m not Korean” Williams replied cutting her short.
• “That doesn’t matter,” she said smiling. “ so I heard you’re planning to marry someone”
• “What do you want” Williams asked but didn’t raise his head to look at her.
• “Wow, so it’s true, and you didn’t bother to tell me??. What are we friends for dumb head?” She walked over to his table and sat on it.
• "So you're really interested in someone this time around? How long have you been dating? Or you didn't date?" She said playfully
• "I know you're not one to jump into an arranged marriage. So you like this girl huh ?" She asked a little bit concerned
• “Can you leave me alone? I’m busy as you can see” Williams looked at her.
• “Whatever a**hole, you’re so mean” She took her bag and proceeded to leave. She stopped halfway and turned back
• “ by the way, my birthday party is coming up next week. I'll send you the invitation later, you must attend, you have no choice actually. See you there, muahh” She blew him a kiss and walked out of the office
