DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 19
Emma’s POV.
It’s been an hour since we were in this mall. We had gone to almost 10 shops and I had tried almost 8 dresses. I walked out of the trial room wearing a knee-length navy blue dress having spaghetti straps. It’s a little too tight. I walked out of the trial room to see Edan sitting on the coach, busy on his phone. I cleared my throat to gain attention from him. He looked at me eyeing me up and down and then a smirk appeared on his lips.
“You look hot Emma,” he commented with a wide grin.
“Oh… Just shut up. You know I don’t do this s–t… You had forced me to do so…” I rolled my eyes at him.
“And I’m glad I did…” he winked at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
I walked back in and changed into my previous dress. As we had entered into the mall I asked him the reason for bringing me here. All he had to say was that I should at least have 5 signature outfits of the most famous designers of whole America.
I protested but to no use… I asked the reason and he just smiled not answering. On pursuing he just replied saying as his PA I should look presentable and in order to not make a fool out of him. So, I was stuck with my dumbass boss now.
Jerk! Guess what! You already are a fool and you don’t need me to make you one. I smiled proudly at me. I came out and went to the cashier as he paid for my 2nd dress.
“Edan… Stop it. I can buy it. I don’t want you to pay for it. You had already bought me one.” Although the dress was expensive. Of course, it would be… Duh..! It’s a signature outfit after all. But still, I don’t want others to pay for me. I’m a kind of independent girl and I clearly don’t like the idea of other people paying for my things.
“Emma… We are not going over this again. I’m paying.” He stated firmly and took out his debit card.
“But-”
“Now, are you shushing or I should kiss those lips to silent you down.” He smirked cutting my protest as the cashier smiled.
These lines were enough to shut my mouth down but I did give him my rolling eyes. Why he have to say that all the time to shut me down??
We went to another high-class shop and there too I tried four dresses and Edan picked the purple one which was quite tight, hugging my body and showing my curves. I love it though it felt a little too revealing but Edan bought it despite my all protest.
“Come on, you look hot in it,” Edan said smiling at me.
We went to a small cafe in the mall and I ordered a cup of coffee to ease me up. Edan went to the washroom and I was seated alone at the table, sipping my coffee enjoying its flavor and aroma.
“Hey, Beautiful… Are you alone?” I turned my attention to a young man who had seated in front of me. He had blonde hairs and hazel eyes, a smirk plastered on his face.
Not with this crap…!
“I don’t have time for your shits…so buzz off,” I said ignoring his stare and sipping my coffee.
“So, Feisty? I like it… So what’s your name beautiful.” he said with a chuckle and getting a little closer.
Grabbing the shopping bags, I stood up and walked towards the exit to avoid any scene. I turned around to see the same stranger following me.
Seriously… What’s his problem?
“Hey, beautiful… At least give me your number,” he said with a chuckle and there I had enough. I spun around and death glared in his eyes.
“Can’t you understand a simple word, you a**whole. I said to buzz off or you will be sorry!” I yelled at him.
“Huh… I will be sorry?” He chuckled coming closer. He took me by my waist, holding me closer looking into my eyes. Now I had enough… I kicked him where the sun doesn’t shine and he groaned in pain releasing me.
“Suits you right,” I smirked at him.
“You f**cking w—e…” He groaned in pain.
I smirked and turned around. I walked towards a small gift shop that was just beside the cafe.
I looked through it and found a beautiful necklace. It was a heart-shaped necklace with a small diamond in the center. I looked at the price and it was way too expensive. I still have to save money for my university.
As I left the shop, someone pinned me in the wall. I looked up to see the same stranger whom I have kicked.
“LET ME GO!!” I yelled at him trying my best to free myself from his grip.
“You’re going to pay for what you did,” he smirked getting closer.
I aimed for the same spot where I had kicked before.
“Aah… Not this time beautiful.”
“Let me go… You son of a b**ch.” I spat on his face which made him more furious.
“Shut the f**ck up. You’re coming with me.”
Where is the heck Edan?
“Let her go.” I turned my head to see Edan. His fist clenched and jaw tightened.
“Mind your own business Man… I can handle my little girlfriend.”
“Edan-”
I was mid-sentence when Edan punched him in the face causing him to fall on the floor. Edan took my hand and we went towards the exit of the mall. As we entered his car, he started the engine. His hands gripping the stirring wheel tightly.
“Aah… Edan?” I whispered seeing him this way. It’s the second time I had seen him this furious.
“Aah… By the way. Thank You.” I whispered.
He nodded and the rest of the drive went silently. I was getting annoyed by this silence.
As we stopped in front of my apartment. I decided to break the silence.
“Edan? Are you okay?” I whispered looking in his direction. He nodded, still not saying a single word.
What is his problem?
“Aah… Do you want to come in, maybe grab a cup of coffee or juice?” I said getting out of the car.
“Edan… Come on. Ease up a little.” I decided to cheer him up.
“I’m fine… I’m just tired.” With that, he drove away leaving me in complete confusion .
======
It’s been four days since Edan took me for shopping. I don’t know what just happened to him but he was acting a little weird that day. During these four days, we haven’t talked a lot beside our professional talk. I tried to talk to him but he was always too busy in his work. I was feeling a little worried about his behavior.
Is he mad at me? Or angry? But why? I hadn’t done anything. I need to know what’s bothering him.
I heard the door open and looked up to see Edan. My heart skipped a beat by looking at him.
Why does my heart do that every time I see him? Stupid heart!
“The charity event will start at 4 pm. Be ready by that.” He said in a calm but ordering tune and left my office.
Charity Event? Oh…! I totally forgot.
A charity event was to be held at 16th of November. That means it’s today. I looked at my watch to see the time. I had three hours before the event starts. I hurriedly finish my work and went to my apartment after informing Edan.
Kate was still at work. Her relationship with Jim was getting better and I was happy for her. At least, someone had found her happiness.
I looked at my wardrobe to see what to wear for the event. It should be decent, not too revealing and comfortable.
I took out three dresses. One was black with a neckline, the other was red which was strapless and the last one was purple which Edan bought me, it had a deep V shape from above and was sleeveless. After looking at them for like half an hour I decided to go for the purple dress. It was simple and I liked it.
I took a shower and shaved my legs and arms. I put on my bathrobe and wrapped my hair in a towel.
I looked at the clock.
“Only half an hour left before the event starts,” I whispered and went into the kitchen to eat something. I drank a glass of juice and ate an apple. I hurriedly changed into my attire and looked myself in the mirror. It showed a little of my cleavage but not too much and it was comfortable. I decided to let my hair fall straight and put on some liner and mascara. I put on my silver and purple 5? inch heels, put on a thin layer of my strawberry lip gloss and there I was ready.
I dropped my Samsung phone and lip gloss along with some tissue papers
in case of some emergency in my silver clutch. I heard a horn and took a glance at my watch to see exactly 4 pm.
Edan and his punctuality…
To say that I was not nervous would be an understatement. Because I was way too nervous, first because of the event, I had never been to such events. And second, because of Edan. He always makes me nervous, whenever I’m around him, and whenever I’m alone with him.
But you won’t be alone with him in Charity event… There will be hundreds of people.
I heard another horn and went out of my apartment after locking the door. I was excited to see Edan. But to my dismay… It was not Edan, it was his driver.
Uuh… Why? Poor me!
“Madam, Sir had sent me to pick you up.” He replied and I nodded, getting in.
We stopped in front of Edan’s building. After sometime Edan came out and my silly heart again flipped at the sight of him.
Seriously! Stupid heart! Stop it! I order you to stop it!
He was looking way too handsome in a black suit. His one hand in his pocket and in another hand he was holding his phone. He was wearing black shades.
He sat beside me and the car started. Hundreds of butterflies started dancing in my stomach and I couldn’t bear to look at him because it seems like he was in a bad mood. I could tell there was something disturbing him.
We stopped in front of a five-star restaurant and the driver opened the door for me. I came out followed by Edan. As soon as we came out of the car, hundreds and thousands of flashes and clicking of cameras started.
It was difficult for me to open my eyes in this much brightness. Hundreds and thousands of questions were thrown at Edan.
“Mr. Wilton. Who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?” One of the reporters asked and I instantly looked towards Edan.
However, he didn’t reply and just smirked looking towards me. I could not see his blue eyes because of that black shades he was wearing.
Everyone shouting. “Mr. Wilton. Is she your fiancé.?”
“Mr. Wilton. What is your relationship status now?” And Blah… Blah…
Seriously! What’s their problem? Why are they involving themself in his private matters? And moreover why they are suspecting me as his girlfriend or fiancé?
I was being pushed by the crowds when suddenly a warm hand caught mine and made me escape from that crowd. I looked up to see Edan. We entered into the hall, Edan still holding my hand. The hall was fully decorated and it looked beautiful. He let go of my hand and I felt a little disappointed.
Emma… Why are you acting this way?
Are you falling in love with him?
Why are you not staying away from him?
Why does your heart want to be with him?
Why are you behaving this strange? Why?
“This is my PA. Miss James.” I came out of my trance and looked up to see a man who was around 30 looking towards me with a creepy smile.
“Hello. Miss James. I’m Mr. Turner but you can call me Daniel.” He said with that creepy smile and shook hand with me.
When I felt that he was not having any intention to let go of my hand I pulled it away.
“Maybe we can hang out sometime. Miss. James.”
“I-”
“No. Miss. James is not free. We had a really tight schedule.” He said in a rude tune and I looked at him to see his jaw tightened.
“Well. Too bad, but still here’s my card.” He handed me his card and after winking towards me. He went away.
Edan snatched the car from my hand and tore it into two pieces.
“You are no going out with him.” He said in an orderly manner and went towards the table.
