100 Days With Mr Romero

“Surprise! ” professed Emma.

“You guys weren’t expecting to see me. Were you? ” she asked them.

Gideon was still transfixed to the spot and so was Judy. They were speechless. Emma smiled and gradually stood up.

Gideon couldn’t believe the sight before him. Was he really seeing Emma or is his mind playing games with him?

Emma smiled the moment she stood up and Gideon knew she was real. His whole body felt as if it was soaked in ice and he filled chills down his spine. He couldn’t bring himself to speak neither could he move a brow. He was shocked to the bone marrow.

Judy on the other side of Gideon was as shocked as he was. Unlike Gideon who stood firm like a rock, Judy’s eyes rolled all over Emma and she felt like running out of the room but her feet were stuck.

Emma who was already standing up was enjoying the spectacle before her and she was gloating in her mind over thier shocking reaction. She smirked inwardly and decided to walk up to them.

Emma started walking towards them and her hips swayed rhythmically. Her lilac expensive dress was hugging her tightly and she was looking gorgeous.

The more steps she took further towards them, the more Gideon marveled in disbelief. She was taking his breath away while Judy couldn’t stop rolling her eyes over Emma’s glamorous figure.

Could this really be Emma? ” Gideon thought again as her fragrance took charge of his nostrils. Both Judy and Gideon wondered over Emma’s magnificent transformation.

She went to Judy’s side, bent over to the floor, picked up the file and placed it back in Judy’s hands. She then proceeded to Gideon and tilted his dropped jaw closing his mouth.

Turning around, she went back to her seat swaying her hips and flaunting her lengthy hair. She sat and clapped her hands together creating a loud applause.

Gideon and Judy finally moved quivering a little bit and she smiled.

“Don’t just stand there gazing aimlessly. ” Emma told them.

“Have a seat please. ” she stated further.

“We have a meeting right? ” she reminded them.

As Gideon made his way to the vacant seat opposite Emma, his gaze was still fixed on her. Judy followed him and always landed on the floor. She slipped while pulling a chair out. Thanks to Gideon’s timely intervention, Judy didn’t fall. He caught her arm right on time and they sat.

Emma glared at them and inwardly smirked. Gideon still couldn’t believe the spectacle before him. He had never imagined that the owner of LIA’s will be Emma. How on earth did Emma get hold of such a brand? he thought looking at her in amazement. Judy was also staring at Emma wondering over her transformation.

Emma was enjoying the attention their eyes were giving her. When did Emma return? Judy thought. How did she manage to get this far? She thought again before Emma spoke again.

“Seems like I’m the only one doing the speaking here. ” Emma said crossing her legs.

“I thought you requested a meeting with LIA’S? ” she requested and Gideon managed to nod.

“Then start talking. ” she told them.

“Em.. Emma. ” stuttered Gideon and she smirked at him.

“I can’t understand this.. You? ” he asked with his voice quaking.

“Yes I am Emmalia. The owner of LIA’S brand Mr. Romero. ” she replied then flipped her hair.

“Now let’s talk business.” she stated.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Judy was silent or rather still in total shock.

Gideon kept staring at Emma without looking at another direction as if Emma had grown a second head.

She looks different and breath taking. Gideon commented Emma in his head. His eyes narrowed down to her lips which were now looking plump and soft.

Emma noticed how they kept staring at her and were barely speaking. She glanced at her Rolex watch and said.

“You guys actually look so great together, but we didn’t come here to talk about that, we came to talk about business, but first let’s eat, shall we?”

There was no word from Gideon nor Judy.

Emma lifted the little bell on her side of the round table and shook it making it to ring. Shortly afterwards, some stewards entered the auditorium with food trays and placed it on the large round table before them.

Gideon’s eyes were still on Emma and so were Judy’s. They were still looking at Emma who started to think their shock was taking too long to wane off.

“How?”

Gideon managed to say.

He wanted to know how Emma turned out to be the owner of LIA’S.

” It doesn’t make any sense. ” he uttered.

Emma laughed at Gideon’s statement and didn’t say anything. Judy’s head was lowered.

Emma laughed really hard again and if Gideon could interpret that laughter, he knew it had promises attached to it.

“Let’s talk business now. ” she said slightly hitting the round table.

Judy immediately lifted up her head and placed the file in her hand on the table. She began opening the file and Emma noticed how Judy’s hands were shaking.

“So tell me Mr. Romero. ” began Emma while pouring wine into her glass.

“What can LIA’S do for you? ” she asked after sipping the wine.

“You guys might as well eat if you are finding it difficult to speak. ” Emma said pointing at the food arranged before them.

“We are concerned about the pulling away of our partners recently. ” Gideon said.

“Okay and how does that concern my company? ” Emma replied sounding harsh.

“I.. Actually. ” stuttered Gideon and he stopped and for the first time took his eyes off Emma and lowered his head.

“Your partners are pulling away? ” asked Emma.

“Yes. ” replied Gideon his voice sounding unsure. Gideon remained mute.

“Look guys. ” began Emma while glancing at her watch for the second time.

“You guys have wasted your time and mine as well. ” she said with her hands resting on the round table.

“You can leave. ” she said showing them the exit.

They stood up and before they left, Emma declared.

“I will ruin you guys one by one, take all your clients and investors till no one is left and make you as broke as a church rat”

Gideon was shocked at Emma’s proclamation and he quickly went out of the auditorium with Judy behind him.

Emma broke out laughing immediately they left then declared

“It’s revenge time Mr Romero”
