Three

A/N:
Majority of this book will be a third person's perspective. So please bare with me.  Thank you!

Perfect!

Emerald thought as everything was set.

She was beyond happy because this is what she worked hard for. To get this partnership that everyone wants.

And now she couldn't wait to start this meeting because she's hundred percent sure that they will get this.

A smile creeped on her beautiful face.

Mr. Kenton entered the conference room and greeted Emerald with a nod. Emerald smiled and greet her boss.

"Is everything ready?" He asked.

"Yes, sir."

He nodded. "The client will be here soon."

A sighed of relief came out to her mouth.

Finally!

It was really her passion to get something what is best ever since she was still a child. She's a hard working woman with great passion in her job that's why Mr. Kenton can't remove her in her job because in the passion she had. Ever since she started working on his company, his company had good investors and the company ratings is always good, it never touched 50% and below.

Mr. Kenton was really thankful that a woman like her was working on his company.

The door opened and a woman with glasses and a man in his late twenties entered the room.

He have a handsome face. A jet black hair. A nose that was perfectly pointed and angled. A jaw that was sharp. His business suit that is expensive and behind that was a toned and muscular body. And a blue eyes that can make you into jelly.

This was all familiar to Emerald. Those eyes that keep hunting her all these years. That face that she called a nightmare.  That very beautiful face that was so sweet. That very beautiful face that she always wanted to see.

She didn't notice that Mr. Kenton and Blake greeted each other and shake their hands.

She stared for him for too long. Nothing changed at all.

"Emmy!"

"Emmy!" Mr. Kenton whispered .

Emerald snapped her attention to her boss.

She's so stupid to realize that both men were staring at her. She didn't even realize that Blake was staring back at her.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." She smiled at him and extend her right hand.

"Nice to meet you too." His grip was firm that bring chills to her spine. In her disappointment, she let go of the grip.

His face was emotionless and his eyes held nothing but a cold stare.

They sitted on their seats but her eyes is still focused on Blake. Except for her boss because he'll be the one to present her work.

She can't believe that he is actually here. But seeing him made her heart broke into pieces. Again.

But why?

She looked down.

The presentation go on. It shouldn't be like this. She should be happy but deep down she wasn't.

She wanted to shout, to cry but the place wasn't a good place for doing those.

His eyes. His very beautiful eyes was so sweet, so heart melting but that was before. And now, it's so cold and that's it. Just cold.

She fixed herself to listen what is being discussed. There's no need for her to think some things that were done.

"We are planning to build a new hotel in Germany. A five star hotel. With our trusted board members, we are sure that it will be a good spot because Germany is a rich and beautiful country  and definitely there will be many tourists." Mr. Kenton explained.

"Which area do you want to build?" Blake asks.

"According to Ms. Bellrose, beach is a nice place to build a five star hotel which is true. So we chose to build the hotel near the beach.  It's a good spot and we will be making more money."

Blake nodded. "But don't you think that there are so many hotels in a beach? I think city is a good place to build the hotel. It's a good spot and it will make ten times money than the beach." Blake stated which is a fact.

On the other hand, Emerald felt insulted. The board members agreed to her plan and she don't want one person to ruin it.

Emerald forced a smile. "The beach is a good place, Mr. Knight. The people can go relax on the beach. It is less polluted than the city and peaceful."

Mr. Kenton feel the tension between the two. That's why he opened his mouth to say something but Blake interrupted.

"That's why the hotel have pools and spa, to relax. You're right the beach was less polluted but in the city they can go to malls and buy what they wanted and they can go whatever they wanted to. And the noisy waves in the beach, the people who are selling stuffs, and the people who are playing sports, do you call that peaceful, Miss Bellrose?" He arched one eyebrow.

Damn! The way he pronounced her surname make her into jelly.

Focus , Emmy!

She raised one eyebrow. "That's why it have a noisy waves because it's a beach. That's why some people are selling stuffs because they needed money, and that's why people are playing sports because beach is a place to do whatever you want."

"But the city will make ten times money than the beach."

That's it! She had enough.

"I really hate people when they push things that must not be pushed." That's what anger makes her. She can't stop her mouth when she is angry or pissed.

He arched his back. "Are you telling me that I'm a pushy person?"

His eyes were piercing. If that were daggers she was supposed to be dead now.

"Glad you understand the message." She forced a smile.

He was furious. Just that one sentence made him angry.

He stood up. "You know what I don't want wasting my time to people who lack some manners to the people who are higher than them."

Her smile faded. She stood up also.

Did he said that she's in a low class? Yep, he said. She heard it. His voice has venom when he said it.

"Just because you're rich you can say that to the people who are not higher than you? Why? Are you a God to be respected?"

That's it! He can't stand it anymore. He had enough to this woman in front of him.

"You know what, I just waisted my time just because a woman with so much pride tried to lose this opportunity and glad she won."

She just realized what she've had done. They lose this opportunity Because of her. Her pride.

"Wait, Mr. Knight, we can figure this out." Mr. Kenton said, pleadingly.

She can't say anything. This was what she want and now she lose it. It's all because of her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kenton, but I can't work with," He glanced at Emerald, his eyes sent daggers to her, " a person who has so much pride."

"But, please-" Mr. Kenton was interrupted by Blake.

"It's nice meeting you, Mr. Kenton." By that he left the room with his secretary.

Well, there's one thing changed in him. The sweet and loving Blake turned into an arrogant and cold man.
