The lady also went down with Sam to gather her fallen provisions and other stuff. She would have yelled if not for the three men that were coming behind Sam. Sam guards wanted to help with the lady’s stuff but he waved them off, as he focused on the lady’s driver’s license for a while, while picking the other things involuntarily into her bag. The license was the last thing he took, and they both stood upright simultaneously. “I’m so sorry, didn’t see you coming,” Sam handed over the driving license to the lady. He couldn’t be hallucinating, he saw it clearly and she was looking a lot like Elena, the woman who had just made him angry today. “It’s fine, I wasn't really looking where I was going either,” Ariana lied, smiling sheepishly at Sam. He was hot, she had never seen such a young hot man with guards and a woman who was probably his secretary or something, she thought. “It’s my first time in the mall, so I was just taking in the beauty of the place,” Sam faked a small smile
Emily pretended to be looking at one of the shoes, she didn’t want Sam to see her face or his eyes meeting with hers. As she thought about his question, she had nothing to do that evening, but going on a date with Sam could trigger what she was trying to avoid now that she was his secretary. However, rejecting him would also seem awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn’t as if she didn’t like Sam, if he wasn’t her boss; she wouldn’t even think twice on the question. Emily knew Sam would have thought about it too, that having an affair with his secretary was unprofessional; maybe he had let his emotions take over, and Emily wasn’t really ready to give in.Not so soon. “I… I think I do, yeah,” Emily took one of the shoes and faced Sam, but she wasn’t staring at him, she was pretending to admire the shoe. “You think?” Sam was starting to feel impatient. He wanted Emily, and he wanted her fast. Although he wasn’t going to rush into the relationship, he just wanted to let her know his int
She didn’t read his mind, it wasn’t Ariana she was talking about but Emily, but why? Sam thought. “And you think I haven’t thought of that?” Sam scoffed, staring back at Charity from the rear view mirror also. He would have gotten upset if not that it was Charity, somehow; the main reason he brought her was starting to become irrelevant, now that everything about Emily has crowded his mind. Charity’s heart skipped a beat, she shifted her gaze to the road, she shouldn’t have said anything, but she just couldn’t sit and watch all these things happen, why she suffers in silence. “I’m sure you would have, but you might not be seeing the real consequence because your emotions would have clouded your judgment,” Charity managed to say these words with her eyes glued on the road. She had lit a fire, now she must stand around it till it burns out. “You’re my personal assistant, Charity; not my therapist,” Sam laughed lightly, he was trying to take it as a joke. Why does Charity care exa
The silence had been longer than a minute, before Sam finally broke it. He was totally lost for words, but he had to say something; “It’s too late, Charity. Why didn’t you tell me this the first day I hired you?” Sam questioned, his hand covering his face. If he wanted to behave like the wealthy unconcerned billionaire that he was, he would have just discarded Charity’s feelings, but he respected the fact that she had loved him long before he became rich. “I was scared….I was scared to lose both you and the job,” Charity stuttered, sounding like she was about to cry. “You should have told me,” Sam persisted, his face still covered with his hands; he didn’t want to tell Charity that he was infatuated with her the very first day he saw her at the fair. Emily had taken all his ability to love someone else, even though she hadn’t agreed yet. But he had fallen in love with her faster than he did with Amelia. “I know, but I didn’t; and I keep feeling so awful anytime you talk to women
Amelia couldn’t believe who she was looking at, it was two surprises in one scene. First of all, she was staring at the new handsome and wealthy Sam, and again; her best friend, well not necessarily anymore; but Charity was standing right next to him. And they just alighted from a Rolls Royce Cullinan? What was actually going on, all the things Sam displayed at the fair suddenly flashed through Amelia’s mind. He wasn’t telling lies? His roommates were now his bodyguards as they stood behind him. She was totally dumbfounded, and starstruck at the same time, she had even suddenly forgotten that it was them who made impact with Derek’s car. Derek on the other hand, although speechless; his surprise wasn’t obvious on his face. He somehow knew that Sam wasn’t really telling lies at the fair, and he had sworn to deal with him the next time he saw him. But the man he wanted to deal with now had bodyguards, they were the same roommates that had refused to rain curses on Sam when Amelia
“Are you seriously asking that question, Amelia?” Derek glanced at her with a shocking expression and then looked back at the road. “I mean, I’m just thinking, what if he’s telling the truth?” Amelia persisted, she knew she shouldn’t be doubting; but the confidence that those last words carried was so intimidating. Someone who seems to be telling a lie would not have so much confidence. “Tell me, Amelia, how can someone become so wealthy within the twinkle of an eye. How?” Derek questioned, his eye brows squinted forming an angry expression. Amelia hesitated, she just didn’t know how all this was happening. Derek’s question was valid, getting rich between the twinkle of an eye is nearly impossible; especially when you know that person in and out. To her, Sam was an orphan that was being taken care of by his grandfather; Jonathan. He had no relatives or siblings, and the grandfather had nothing. The only way Sam would have gotten so much money in the blink of an eye is if he went
Cooper gazed at Sam surprisingly, there were no bodyguards in the lobby, just Sam, Charity and him. “What do you mean, Mr. Adams; isn’t it a business you wish to discuss?” Cooper's words were shaky, and reflected his elderly state. He managed to make himself comfortable on one of the cushions in the lobby, when he was seated; Charity and Sam also sat on the one opposite him. “I’m here to discuss something deeper than just business, Mr. Cooper,” Sam smiled, taking his reveal slowly. Sam had told Charity most of the secrets that even his bodyguards didn’t know. Charity knew why they were here, and how Sam got to become rich in such a small time. It was one of the miraculous things she had seen happen on this earth. Cooper was beginning to feel uncomfortable and Sam had noticed it, so he had to keep him under control before he called for the guards. “Look closely at me, Mr. Cooper, who do you see?” Sam leaned forward, but didn’t stand from the cushion. Cooper stressed his eyes, b
Katerina Cooper walked in slowly, as everybody stared at her. She was very old, even though she was ten years younger than Cooper himself, she looked older. Total gray hair, that seemed like it would have been blonde, and her mouth curled up evidently showing that she had lost some teeth. Katerina was Helen’s and Selena’s mother, unlike Ethan whose mother and father were dead. Helen still had her parents, although they won’t live very long now. “Mother, he’s alive,” Selena went to her mum, to help her towards the cushion, Katerina vision wasn’t very clear like normal. Sam just stood there, with Charity beside him, there was no anger inside of him anymore, the rage he had brought with him had died completely. Seeing how these people reacted meant that they had hoped that he would come and they were actually waiting for him to visit. Such a kind of faith, he had never seen. Katerina suddenly became uneasy when she heard what Selena said, she understood who the “he” stood for. T
