Once Upon A Dare

Chapter 33

Emma hasn't still gotten over the fact that she is reunited with Olivia she felt stupid for not recognizing her in the pictures when they searched for Isabelle Klaus and she can't wait to share that news to her sister.

After their unexpected reunion at the lobby,Emma escorted Isabelle to the boardroom with their hands interlaced together.

"You're so mean,you had us thinking that you were dead"Emma couldn't stop the sniffles.Isabelle wipes the younger womans tears with her handkerchief as they continued walking.

"But...Livy how did you became Isab...?"Emma ask innocently but the she was silence by a finger om her mouth.

"You're so eager to know munchkin"Emma grins hearing her old nickname.Emma was so engrossed talking that she didn't notice they are outside the conference room"I'll tell you over dinner but right now I want you to impress me with that proposal of yours"Isabelle said winking at Emma as Julian guided her to her seat.

***
Regina has been trying to get Emma's attention but she's continuously being ignored by her.Swan is busy swooning over Isabelle Klaus.

"Hi,I'm Isabelle Klaus pleasure to finally meet the famous Regina Mills"she extended her hand to Regina and there's already that instant animosity boiling inside the brunette as she accepted her hand.

"What are we waiting for let's go and get things over with"Regina's words came out quite bitter."Ms. Swan can you..."but her Swan had already fled before she got hold of her.Her lips puckered before releasing a long exasperated sigh before she followed them to the elevator.Regina tried to stand in between Emma and Isabelle to break them apart but Emma is sticking to the other woman like a leech and it annoys Regina even more.Emma's never like that towards her.Katherine who watches from the corner is so amused.She's seen a different side of Regina she's never seen before.

When everyone was settle down Emma distributed the copies to each one of them including Regina which said to her through gritted teeth"stop flirting with her".Emma for the first time made eye contact with Regina but that look is laced with bewilderment.

During the entire meeting Regina's attention wasn't on the presentation,she was watching Emma like a hawk to it's prey through the light coming from the projector.She only averted her gaze when the lights were turned back on.

"Ben fatto, è molto buono"Isabelle said clapping her hands.

"Grazie mille bella"Emma replied,the two shared a laugh as if it is an inside joke between them..

"Ahem"Regina once again interrupting their moment."So Ms. Klaus how do you find the proposal?"

"Hmm well let's see..."Isabelle narrowing her eyes.Then she stood up from her seat."Let me borrow Emmy for a day and you'll have the deal"she beamed.

"That's it?,you won't have any other condition?"Katherine ask feeling skeptical about the whole set up.

"Yes,that's what I came here for anyways"the womans smile didn't falter.Katherine's eyes slowly traveled to Regina her entertained self has long gone as she was now worried about how her bestfriend would feel.

Regina on the other hand can't understand how she felt it's like after she heard what Isabelle said her whole body heated with jealousy and envy.Last night and until this morning she thought she has a lot to lose if their relationship continues but now on the brink of losing Emma,Regina realize that Emma is the only thing she needs no matter how cliche it's sounds.She hung her head low for the first time admitting defeat.

Regaining her posture and composure she stood up like a real queen.Everyone in the room was waiting for her answer.Emma too was waiting for her answer.
