"How did the paparazzi enter."

It was the picture of the two of them having their last dance.

Ms Emma and Owner of Ellison having a good time.

Are they having a relationship behind Ms. Bella?!

Ellison as Houston's business partner?

A kiss on the hand.

Ms Emma and Austin Ellison danced a few times together.

She was not able to continue anymore before turning to glare at Austin.

"You know about this and you didn't do anything about it."

"Well it's fun looking at your reaction." Emma's hand slammed on the table.

"You are the one who will have a problem with these kinds of issues and  I will be blamed by your girlfriend for trying to steal you."

Austin watched her who had this mad face on her face.

He then dialed something on the phone.

"Clear everything except the news of me collaborating with Houston."

He ended the call.

Austin didn't really care about the news spreading, he would've just ignore it except news about him with other girl.

Emma sat back but her face was still glaring at Austin.

Then it was silent.

Emma does what she needs to do while Austin seems to be doing something too.

"I believe you have your own office." Emma breaks the silence. She was still mad at Austin.

Someone successful like Austin are supposed to care about his profile but he let the news spread for a long hours only to be deleted after he show it to her.

But Austin just ignored her as he was busy with something on his tablet.

A few minutes past, Emma falls asleep while laying back on her chair.

She only realized that she fell asleep when there was a knock on the door and the first thing greeted was Austin face watching her.

"Didn't get enough sleep?" Emma glanced at him before closing her eyes again.

"Yeah, because of you." She blurted without she realize it.

Someone knocked on the door again.

Emma straightens up her position with a sleepy face. She was still sleepy.

Austin ended up opening the door and was greeted by Claire.

"Yes?"

"I need to talk with Emma." Claire glanced inside the office and there she was sleeping on the table.

"Great because she is slacking off." Claire smiled shyly at him before excusing herself to enter the office.

She patted Emma's back a little harshly which makes Emma cry because someone disturbed her sleep.

"Emma, wake up. You're in the office."

"Claire, I didn't get enough sleep last night. The dance is tiring. Austin had me dancing so many times." She complained.

"Mr. Austin is still here and he said you're slacking off." That got Emma raised immediately from her sleep.

She turned to look at Austin.

"Didn't you see me just now? Complaining already?" Austin asked.

She had this shocked face on. Emma thought she was dreaming when she saw Austin's face.

While Claire, she had a hidden smile knowing what happened between Emma and Austin.

"What's wrong Claire?" She turned to look at Claire to find an excused leaving the office.

"There is nothing wrong, I just want you to check on your dress and the other dress."

Emma raised from her chair immediately and walked together with Claire.

"Emma, what about Austin?" Claire whispered.

"Let's go, Mr. Perfect."

The two women didn't wait for Austin. They walked ahead of Austin a little too fast as they were busy whispering to each other.

Austin was the last one to enter the lift where the two women had to wait for a minute till he finally caught up with them.

When the three of them were inside the lift, it was silent but when they went out the lift, the two women went back to whispering something to each other.

Austin was totally left out. He didn't say anything about it.

They entered a room which was really wide but full of mannequin tailors, machines and clothing. There were at least 20 people in the room doing their job on the mannequin.

Emma checked every dress and told them what to fix and taught how to do parts that they're not sure how to do.

Austin listened from behind her.

Every staffs was hypnotized by Austin's perfect body and face, they stared in silent at Austin.

They finally checked the last dress.

"You didn't say it was going to be this revealing." Emma said while holding on to the dress material.

"I didn't?" Claire laughed.

"Yes, Claire. My tattoos will be on full show if I'm to wear this." Emma said in a low voice the word tattoos.

"Why have tattoos if you're not confident of showing it to everyone." Austin suddenly said.

"I was lost that time, I need something that is more painful than what I'm going through but then I finally realized I was a Miss universe a few years ago. People are gonna talk about it."

"It's your choice, embrace it. People will eventually stop talking about it." Austin said he skimmed the dress.

Emma glared at him but didn't say anything back.

"Give it a try Emma, we need to check if everything is in the right place."

"Now?" She glanced at Austin who was not looking at them.

"Go on, the event will not wait for you." Claire said but had a playful smile on her face.

She knows that Emma was not comfortable with Austin being around especially when she heard her best friend had a long night dance with him instead of his girlfriend.

And the news of them spending the night together at the event with lots of pictures.

Something is definitely going on between them.

Especially this morning, the two of them never came out of the office.

Everyone in the office was talking about the two of them.

"Fine." Emma with the tailors walking into a room with the dress.
