CHAPTER 10 His Gazed
Emily bravely met his eyes and walked towards Anders. She even heaved out a sigh and said “Please if you’re here to insult me, not now. I am not in the mood to make an argument with you, please just let me, go back home.” She pleaded,
But Anders was deaf about what she explained, so he turned his back and walked away without any words but his brows were furrowed and was like trying to control his temper
Emily put both of her hands on each side of her waist and smirked at him; irritated from Anders, she tried to walk toward the hallway and met David; his assistant.
“David, Where’s Mr. Winston?” she asked.
“He’s at the library now and no one should disturb him.” David smiled at her.
She smiled back but sadness can be seen on her face. Being in other homes was not her cup of tea, it was not normal for her especially she was single and Anders as well.
“I think you need to rest first, Miss Emily.” He said and winked at her.
“Thanks but I really need to go now.” She told him in a serious facial expression.
David shook his head and said. “Don’t worry the doctor will come here soon to see your ankle.”
“But..” Emily was about to complain but David stopped her.
“You’ll be home soon, Miss Emily.” said David and walked on the other side of the hallway.
“Wait!” she exclaimed and walked faster to ask something, but she fell on the floor.
David looked at his back and saw Emily was on the floor. He quickly stepped closer to her and helped her.
“Ouch! Shit, What now? Argh.” she whispered and saw David was now in front of her. She closed her eyes tightly as she felt embarrassment.
David smiled at her and help her to stand up. He noticed how embarrass she was so, he smiled at her and asked, “Can you walk?”
Emily nodded and tried to move her feet, but it was painful and felt the swollen on her ankle. She knew David was staring at her so she smiled at him to show that she was fine.
David didn’t say any word, instead, he carried her at her back.
Emily has no choice as she felt the sting pain of her ankle.
“I’m sorry, I’m a stubborn woman, I promise after this, I won’t show myself to you, this house, and Mr. Winston as well.” she confidently said to David and smiled.
“I don’t think so, Miss Emily,” he whispered.
David felt something different as he was carrying Emily at her back. A feeling that someone was watching them from behind
“Here we are, Emily,” David said but he felt Emily was now sleeping at his back.
David smiled and just opened the door. He went to the bed and slowly put her down and when he successfully did it. He bent and looked closely to see Emily’s angelic face.
Then after a while, he stood up and was about to leave when Emily held his hand.
“Don’t leave, please.” She whispered,
David looked at her and was surprised as she was dreaming. He stepped closer to her and put away those strands of hair on her face.
Then, his phone vibrated so he immediately took it and saw Mr. Winston was calling. He answered it and immediately left the room.
After a while, David walked toward the library where Mr. Winston was waiting for him. He knocked on the door and opened it.
“How is she?” Mr. Winston asked while looking at the window.
“She’s fine, at first she refused to stay here, but I explained to her about it so she stayed and now peacefully sleeping.” David explained it to Mr. Winston
Anders smirked at him. “In a short period of time, you betrayed me, David,” he sighed and threw a sharp look on him. “Is there a reason for you to touch her?” then, he walked toward David and hit him on the face.
“Sir..” David was about to explain his side but Mr. Winston gave no chance on him instead he beaten him once again.
“Cut it! You will not be going to touch her ever again. Understand?” he shouted on him.
“Yes Sir,” David said and bowed his head before leaving the room.
Anders closed his eyes as he heard the door closed then took a deep breath to calm himself.
Emily…

Emily…
“Fuck! Why am I saying her name?” he whispered
He shook his head to bring back his sanity and didn’t notice that he fell asleep on the swivel chair.
Anders looked at the window and saw the sunlight was bright outside.
“Shit! Ten in the morning?” he exclaimed
He couldn’t believe his eyes and immediately massaged his temples. When he was about to leave the room, he saw a pair of blue eyes that was an inch closer to his and her breath was warmth like a coffee in the morning. Her lips were shining like strawberry jam, that was tempting to taste it.
“Is she so beautiful up close?” Anders thought as he was still staring at Emily.
Emily felt the heat ran on her cheeks and she was certain that her face was like a tomato. The scent that she could smell was the same as yesterday but this time it’s quite stronger, Emily bit her lower lip then smiled at him and saw his brows furrowed as she stepped backward. “I’m sorry, Mr. Winston,” Then she cleared her throat and spoke again.
“I was just going to ask you if I can go now, the doctor arrived earlier so I wanted to thank you for being so kind to me.” she told him but his stare was like a glue that wouldn’t just go away.
Emily felt unease as Anders has no words to say to her. His gaze wasn’t sure if that was a compliment or degrading her as a human so Emily stepped forward and waved her hand in front of his face.
“Mr. Winston? Are you listening to me? I said.” But she wasn’t able to continue it as Anders Winston stepped forward to Emily and that made her reach the wall. Then, he put one hand on the other side of her face and that made Emily widened her eyes.
“Have you eaten something?” he asked.
Emily swallowed a couple of times as she couldn’t resist his stares at her.
She was staring at him, every single detail on his face. His deep eyes with long lashes, a pointed nose, his red sexy lips, and his jaws that was a perfect shape for his masculinity built.
She was like under a spell of this man in front of him, without any thoughts she closed her eyes and kissed him.
