CHAPTER 39

AMETHYST'S P.O.V

Bila dad tanya kalau saya mau return to Paris to pursue fashion design, I was ecstatic but only for a few seconds though.

Bukan saja gara-gara si Jeremiah penjahat. Apa maksud dia 'NO'? Saya yang kena offer balik Paris, dia pula yang membantah. ish.

Well, another thing is that I'm keeping to my promise.

Saya sudah janji Sapphire dan saya pun sudah janji dad to be involved in our family business. Tambahan lagi Sapphire is pregnant and she's taking a break.

I couldn't just leave my family and my sister that has helped me in my times of need.

Pantas saya menoleh ke arah Jeremiah si penjahat. Si Crazy Red Ferrari!

Tidak sempat dad punya soalan terjawab.

Argh! Kalau bukan kerana...

"If it's not because of your stupid red Ferrari I would ha-" Oh, sh*t.

"Red Ferrari?" Jeremy looked at me from across the dining table.

"Uhuuuk!" This time Jeremiah yang tersedak on his wine.

Then Jeremy menoleh memandang Jeremiah.
"Macam mana Amie tau you have a red Ferrari?"

Oh God, Amie! Kenapa bah kau tidak pernah belajar dari kesilapan? Must you always talk before you think?

But I can see Jeremiah's gaze is on fire. He looked at me with an expression I can't define.

Slowly he sipped his wine. Saya pun tidak tau siapa-siapa in the dining hall yang sedang menyaksikan drama kami. Ya, dramatic bah my life since I got to know si orang gila penjahat ni.

Sipping his wine, his gaze still on me.
"Wanna kiss and tell, sweetheart?" Dubs jantung saya. "Hmmm, Emily... Rose?"

Okay, ini tidak boleh jadi.

One more thing yang saya sedar sejak saya kenal Jeremiah Ashburn... I have a temper.

"Well, someone's so hard up on his Ferrari." Uuuuu, bila lagi kau jadi penggaduh ni, Amie?

"And someone's a liar." Uuuuu! Dia panggil saya penipu!

"Someone's worse than a leech!" Saya balas.

"Someone actually lied she's Emily Rose, tapi takut hantu!" Dia kasi malu saya?!

"Someone got me arrested!" Ooppss.

Ada bunyi tersedak, ada bunyi terkejut, ada bunyi minuman tersembur, ada bunyi cutlery terjatuh.

A moment of silence.

"Uh." Mom looked confused.

Jeremiah's parents looked shocked.

Dad. No expression.

"Ummm, uh." Jeremy lagi. "Do you guys actually know each other?"

"No!" Sama-sama kami jawab.

Seseorang berdehem.
"Who got arrested?" DAD.

"You're Emily Rose?" Jeremy masih lagi tidak puas hati.

"No!" Pantas saya berdiri.

Dinner became chaotic. Entah apa lagi yang akan jadi huru-hara setiap kali ada Jeremiah si penjahat berdekatan.

"I'm done." I placed the napkin roughly on the dinner table. Saya mau nangis sudah. Tidak, bukan mau nangis, sebaliknya saya sudah terasa mata saya memanas. berair sudah mata saya.
