DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 4
Edan’s POV
“Miss Seville?” She was standing in front of me as my cold intense stare was looking directly into her eyes.
“Yes, sir?”
“Call Miss James and tell her that she’s hired,” She looked at me wide eyes as her lips parted.
“B-B-But, sir, there a-aren’t any vacant s-seats,” She stuttered.
“There is actually,” I said coldly as she became pale.
“S-Sir please don’t fire me,” She started pleading making me confuse.
What? Fire her? Of course not. She is talented, graduated although a little under confident but she’s also sexy.
“I am not firing anyone. Call E- I mean Miss James and tell her she had been hired as my personal assistant,” I ordered her as she slightly nodded.
Although she just passed high school and isn’t eligible for the job.
But… I want her. I smirked.
“Now leave,” I dismissed her and she left my office without a word.
I continued my work, trying my best to forget her, to forget her red face fuming with anger, the expression on her face. The burning rage in her silver eyes.
D–n it! I need to forget her … Not to remember her even more.
D–n it!

Emma’s POV
I was so busy right now. Today, the cafe was extra crowded and I haven’t rested a bit since 8:00 am. I was constantly working, taking orders, serving and was now tired of all the work. My shift was going to end after just another half an hour and then I’ll be able to catch my breath.
At 3:00 pm my shift was finally over. I dressed in my casual dress and as I was leaving the cafe, my phone started ringing. I took out my phone. Unknown caller identity.
I decided to leave it not knowing who it was. The phone rang again and I ignored it. It rang for the third time and then finally, I decided to pick it up.
Maybe it’s something important.
“Hello?” I said politely.
“Miss Emma James?” The voice inquired and I can tell she was a young woman.
“Yes, that’s me,” I said.
“Congratulations. You are now hired as a personal assistant of Mr. Edan Wilton,” She informed me and for a moment my mind was shut down.
“What?? I-I….” I don’t know what to say. I was speechless. After almost two months, I finally got it.
Strange! But who cares!
“Oh… Thank you… Thank you… ” I started rambling as she cut me off.
“You should be here at exactly 9:00 am. I will give you the rest of the instructions tomorrow. See you tomorrow at work,” She said ending the talk.
“Bye… Thanks again.” I was going crazy with joy.
Eeeeeehhhhh!!!!!
I was so overjoyed!
Eeeehh!!!
Emma! You need to control yourself…
I was getting crazy with madness, giggling and jumping up and down. By that time, two or three people gathered around me and the others while walking, stared at me. They were surprised by my sudden behavior and were looking like they had seen a joker.
Who would not? When you suddenly start jumping up and down after just receiving a call in the middle of the path, everyone will surely look at you like you have gone mad.
“Sorry, guys. Just got a good news. Sorry…” I said while joining my hands bowing in front of them like an idiot.
Idiot!
I went to my apartment, all the way grinning like a kid who had just gotten a candy.
“Kate..! Guess what happened?” I said grinning showing my set of 32 white teeth.
“You got a boyfriend?” She said with sparkling eyes making my eyes going wide.
“What?? NO! You’re terrible at guessing,” I said scrunching my nose up at what she just said.
What the heck!
“You told me to guess,” She shrugged playing innocent as I rolled my eyes.
Wow! What a guess…
“So? Tell me what’s the news. You’re killing me right here,” She pointed to her self-acting like a drama queen.
“I got a job!” I squeal as I jumped up and down, screaming.
“B-But you already had a job,” She said with confusion, seeing me getting out of my control.
“Not that job. I am going to work as the personal assistant of CEO of Wilton Co.” I screamed as her eyes widen and then she enveloped me in a hug.
“Wow! That’s great,” She said excitedly letting me out of the hug.
I was indeed happy right now. To me, it meant more than just winning the lottery of the life. I would finally be able to stand up on my own feet. I just hope it pays well.
“Let’s celebrate. We should go to a club and have a party and-” She started going extra hyper as I chuckled at her.
“Woah…! Calm down,” I said, stopping her from her rambling.
“Hold your horses!”
“Let’s go to a club…” She said while moving towards her room to get ready. I immediately stopped her.
“Oh no. I am not going anywhere. I have to prepare myself for tomorrow,” I told her and started to move towards my room.
“Then at least we could have a little teeny tiny celebration…” She said like a 3-year-old girl and with pleading eyes.
“Fine… A teeny tiny celebration is all right,” I said copying her actions and laughing.
“Yeah…” She cheered and rushed to get her phone and I went to my room.
Finally, I had the job I had dreamt about. I don’t know why they didn’t call me earlier, maybe I wasn’t selected then and maybe they had got someone more qualified.
Yup! Of course, they would have.
But I guess my luck isn’t that bad after all and I am just so glad right now. I didn’t spend four years of hard work for nothing. Although I do admit I am just an undergraduate, but what could go wrong in trying. And now I really got

*The next day*
The lift door opened on the 24th floor. I stepped outside of it and saw a double wooden door in the front. It was painted black with white borders.
I felt a bit nervous as I walked towards the door. Just before knocking I took a glance at my attire and It was looking great. I was looking a professional.
Good! I am ready!
I knocked at the door.
“Come in” I heard a voice.
That voice kinda sounds familiar.
Nah! Must be my imagination.
I opened the door slowly and my eyes widen as I looked at the office.
“WOW!” I gasped lightly.
It was simple black and white theme but yet so beautiful. There was a white couch in the corner with a black table in the front, a mini fridge was by its side. A bookshelf with office files was placed in the other corner.
I took a look at the main table. It was black with a white design made on it. A huge window was showing the beautiful scene of the busy city as some sun rays had made there way in.
I saw a figure standing in front of the window. His back was towards me. His stature strong, his shoulders broad and his all presence screams of power.
I shuddered a bit thinking about the person holding this firm, strong posture.
“Take a seat.” His voice came.
That voice again sounds a little familiar… I think I have heard it before. Or not. I am not quite sure.
I took a seat in front of his desk. I was biting my bottom lip and playing with my fingers. A habit of mine when I am nervous. I am not a nervous kind of girl. I am usually so confident. But there is something in this room making me nervous. But what is it.?
“So Miss Emma James. Nice to meet you again.”
What? Again? Did I hear him right? Oh no, he must be mistaking.
“Sorry, Sir. We haven’t met before. You must be mistaken.” I told him the truth.
“Are you Sure?” I could see a playful smile from the side of his face as my brows furrow in confusion.
“Yes. Sir. I am absolutely su-” I was cut off when he turned, looking straight into my eyes.
Those blue eyes.
How could I forget them? I was shocked and I had no idea about what should I do. I was frozen on my seat. My tongue-tied up and I open my mouth but no words came out.
D–n it!
After a moment I found the courage to speak.”You-You…You JERK….!” I said standing from my seat.
