EMILY'S   POV:

"Emily, are you there? What are you thinking so deeply? Emilyyy!" Someone shouted loudly and interrupted me in my deep thoughts. I was brought back to reality. It was Julia, who was shouting at the top of her voice.

"Emily, what were you thinking? Where the hell were you lost?" Julia told me.

"Ummm, I, ummm!" I was so lost in my thoughts that I could not even find the right words to speak!

Then suddenly Zach interrupted in between.

"Excuse me guys, I need to talk to Emily. We will be back in a few minutes," Zach said and held my wrist tightly. He began to pull me somewhere. But I was not in the state to argue, so I just quietly allowed him to lead me. He took me inside a very huge room and closed the door behind us. Now that devilish smirk came back on his face.

"What happened sweetcheeks, why are you so quiet today?" He said laughing loudly.

That's it! I came back to my senses!

"What the hell was all that? Tell me, Ryan was joking, right?" I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"No. He was not at all joking," Zach said innocently, like he knew nothing.

"Tell me the truth or else I will bang your head right now!" I snapped at him.

"Aww, so cute! You look beautiful when you are angry. Do you know that, sweetcheeks?" He said in a teasing tone.

"Just shut up! And stop calling me sweetcheeks! Listen carefully now! I am not at all walking the ramp for your damn show! Got it!" I said and turned around towards the door. I did not even wait for his reply. I was about to open the door when suddenly Zach started speaking again.

"Miss Emily, do you remember the agreement, which you have signed? Yeah I am pretty sure that you very well remember it! So you are left with no other option, sweetcheeks. You are the show stopper for my show," I turned around to look at him. He still had that idiotic smirk on his face.

"But why me? I suppose, you have Riley as your show stopper, right?" I pretended like I knew nothing.

"Stop playing innocent, sweetcheeks! Yesterday, when you all left, Riley barged in my office like a mad woman. She told me everything, that my sweet PA had proudly told her. Now she thinks that I told my PA to say those things to her. So now she is not interested in my offer and has refused to become show stopper," Zach told me.

"Your PA? Means me? Oh, no no. She is lying, I told her nothing. She is making a fool of you, Mr. Zach. I even don't know her. Then, why would I do this?" I replied.

"I said stop playing innocent, Miss Emily! What did you think, that I will become mad at you and will immediately fire you and then you will finally be out of my trap, etc, etc. No, sweetcheeks. I will not let you win this game, that easily! You created this mess, and so now you will only solve it. You are only going to be show stopper for my show. Got it, sweetcheeks," Zach said sternly and left the room without even waiting for me to reply.

Oh God! What is all this? I thought that today I will be free from this hell! And see now, I have invited one more trouble for me. How the hell am I going to be the show's topper? Is Mr. Idiot out of his mind? I will really look like a joker in those dresses and heels and makeup! Ewwww! I have always been like a tomboy in my life. I really don't like those dresses. They just make me uncomfortable! Oh my God! Please help me!

"Hey Miss Beautiful, here you are! Come on, let's go to the dressing room. Your dress is waiting for you!" Ryan told me and immediately pulled me to the dressing room. He placed a red dress in my hand.

"Now go, change it! I just have to see that it fits you perfectly," Ryan said.

"Hey Ryan, you are Mr. Zach's best friend, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah dear, but why do you ask?"

"Umm, actually I really don't want to do this! Please save me! Your idiotic friend is forcing me to do this. Can you please help me?" I said politely.

"Sorry, Miss Beautiful! I understand what you mean. Zach really behaves strange sometimes. But when he decides something, noone has the right to question it, not even me! So, sorry honey but I can't help you!" Ryan said.

"Yeah, its fine. I understand," I said, putting a fake smile on my face. I headed into the changing room. I had no other option with me. You stupid Emily! You are the only one, who is responsible for all this! I cursed myself.

I finally slipped into the dress, which Ryan had given me. It was a long bright red gown with a deep v-neck and it had one strap around the neck. The back was almost non-existent, it was an open back half way down my back. The fabric hugged every square inch of my body, beyond my thighs the dress opened up allowing for free flow.

I stepped out of the changing room. Zach and Ryan were busy, discussing on some topic. Suddenly Ryan's eyes landed on me and he froze. Zach followed Ryan's gaze and then his eyes fixed on me!
