As the doorway closed behind and Amelia heard Zach's footsteps behind her, she ran hurriedly inside the reception area and rolling a hand vaguely at Sofia, Jacob's receptionist, she entered into the ladies room to pile up some breath into her scheme.

The entire elevator scene was going over her head like a panorama, especially the way Zach looked at her and how it made her feel. She felt ashamed and chagrined about it, but there were more things left to be mortified about. Now that she knows the stranger, she met on the elevator knew Jacob and is on the same floor and they might probably meet again if what she suspects befalls to be true.

How on earth she would face meeting him again?, She thought not sure what she should be worrying about the most. The way he made her feel with his probing gaze or the fact that he knew Jacob. Time is really being cruel to her, her heart saddened at the thoughts.

Talk about horrible timing. Just at the same moment, her phone rang.

It was Jacob.

She almost panicked. She cannot find words to utter to him right away but she dare miss his call when she knew what it is all astir. She breathed in and out twice and picked the call.

"I expected you to be here by now," Jacob barked without greeting her.

"I am here. Just on the way to your office," she said in a rush as she hurriedly left the ladies room.

"Meet me in the boardroom. And, soon. I cannot keep my client waiting forever." Jacob said angrily and clicked shut his phone.

"Another storm?," Sofia asked as she read Amelia's expression.

Amelia gave a sad smile. Her face all pale now. "I'll be fine, Thanks." Amelia said as she ushered towards the boardroom.

She paused then and turning back at Sofia asked,"Is Jacob's client already here?" She needed to be sure if she was right and also if she is to meet him at the boardroom. She has to prepare herself on the way to face him.

"I guess so, if you are talking about the most gorgeous man I ever set eyes upon," Sofia said in a pleased tone.

Amelia narrowed her eyes at Sofia which made her blush. They both laughed at that.

"Is he in the boardroom?" Amelia inquired.

"No, Jacob ordered me to direct him towards his office."

Amelia thanked her and made a rush towards the board room, to bear witness to the awaiting torment meant for her.

It had been one hell of a tormenting ten minutes of her life. Jacob had been fiercely angry at her being late and for making his client wait, but then he got down into what he had to talk to her about and his tone changed from an angry one to a dominating and persuasive one, which was just as dangerous because she was trying to talk him out of his plan of selling her part of shares. A futile and fruitless attempt, though, which only led to Jacob grabbing hold of her neck.

"Jacob, you are hurting me." Amelia cried in pain. It was hard to breathe.

"It serves you right for trying to teach me what I am suppose to do and not with my money," Jacob said furiously as he let go of her.

Tears formed in her eyes, but she refuses to let them fall. She shut her eyes and turned away, grabbing hold of her bag, searching for a tissue to wipe them away.
