EMMA'S POV
Now going in the elevator all the way up to the 50th floor I can't stop thinking about my recent conversation with the receptionist. Maybe this is a mistake...
Five minutes earlier.
"Hi, good afternoon, I'm here to see Mr. McRoberts please." I spoke to the lady at he reception, she looked at me head to toe judging my appearance and automatically concluding that Adam McRoberts will never even speak to someone like me.
"Mmm ..... do you have an appointment?"
"No, I don't but if you could please call him and let him know that Emma Ross is here to see him."
"I'm sorry Ms......"
"Ross, Emma Ross"
"Oh yes, right, Ms. Ross, like I was saying Mr. McRoberts is a very busy man, I can't interrupt him. Do you know how many times his one night stands show up here and I have to turn them away? I'm sorry to tell you this but don't bother calling him or showing up at his office, he won't see or call you ever again, I see this pattern of behavior every day."
"What?!! No I'm not one of his one night stands." I have to admit it bothered me jut a little (well maybe not just a little, maybe a little bit more than that) to realize that he constantly had one night stands with random girls and they follow him like a god. Why I'm I feeling this, I'm not in a relationship with him, even if I marry him, there will never be anything romantic between us. " Look I spoke to him yesterday and I was supposed to get back to him today with an answer, that's why I'm here, if you don't believe me you can call him and ask."
Present time
"Excuse me, you're not allowed to be here. Who let you in?"
"I came to see Mr. McRoberts."
"Mr. McRoberts doesn't have any appointments now, you need to make an appointment to see him, leave before I call security."
Why is it so hard to speak to this man? Is he a god or something?
"Can you let him know I'm here? He's expecting me."
"You know what? I'm not calling security, I'll take you out myself."
She grabbed me by my right shoulder, I felt her nails digging into my skin and the sharp pain making me whimper. She pulled me closer to the elevator door, not letting me talk as I was trying to explain. She immediately stopped as a masculine voice came form behind.
"Leave her alone Priscilla."
"But Mr. McRoberts, she's a stranger and came without an appointment."
"I was expecting her, let her go."
I felt relieved as she released my arm, I looked at it and could still see the marks of her fingernails and the redness left by her tight hold. I looked at Adam and his gaze fixed in me, clenching his yaw. He started walking away, his back to me now I heard him shout.
"Follow me."
I obligated, not before taking a glance at Priscilla who was digging daggers at me with her eyes. Fear ran through my veins as I followed Adam, something about this man terrifies me, and I'm really hoping to be wrong, at this point and after all I've been thru I just need peace in my life.
He opened a double door walking me into an office, but not just an office, this was the most beautiful office I've ever seen, it was the living copy of a magazine picture. It had floor to selling windows instead of walls facing the city, in the middle a huge brown wooden desk looked as powerful as Adam. To the left I saw a book shelf full of books and to the right a sitting area with a brown leather couch, a love seat and a coffee table with some magazines on top.
The sound of the door being slammed by Adam behind me made me jump in startle. He stood behind me for a few seconds and even though my back was facing him I felt his eyes on me, making me fell even more intimidated. I felt at ease when he walked beside me and stud right in front of me.
"Have a seat please." He said indicating to the seating area. I sat feeling very uncomfortable, how much I wish my circumstances where different so I wouldn't have to be here and do this, my dad in the hospital in need for money for proper care, my brother threatening to kill me any day brought me here today and right in this moment I realized how unfortunate I was, I had to make and effort to prevent my tears from falling making a foul of myself.
"Ok so, let's go to the point, what's your answer?"
I swallowed hard. "M...my answer i...is .....y....yes."
"Pardon me."
"My answer is yes, Mr. McRoberts."
"Smart girl". I don't know why I felt his reply a little sarcastic. "Perfect, I will arrange everything and by the end of this week we will be married and you will be moving into my house. "
"I was actually thinking if is not too much to ask if we can get is done today?"
"Ohh .... I thought you wanted some time to say goodbye to your old life." Little does he knows there is nothing so good in my life for me to want to say goodbye. "I think is amazing, give me 10 minutes and we will be married."
Adam took his phone from his desk and after speaking in it for about two minutes some knocked in the door.
"Come in." He ordered.
A guy in a suit walked in with some files in his hands. Adam presented us and explained to me that his person was a Notary who was part of his staff and will now marry us right this minute in his office. Everything was happening so fast that I saw it all in a blur, I didn't speak because couldn't find my voice, it was gone just like my ability to think properly.
