" I... I don't know why I actually acted that way. Honestly I was having period cramps and the pain was just unbearable and I lost control of myself." When she was explaining she felt guilty and didn't want to lie to him. But she had no choice. Hearing what she said Jim sighed in relief inside as he was about to tell her something that will change the way Emily views him. He didn't know wether what she was saying was the truth or she was lying as he knows what she does when she is lying. Jim opened his arms and circled Emily in his arms. As she was in his arms she laid her head against his chest and she could feel his heart beat. Emily secretly smiled and hugged him back. Jim was happy as the misunderstanding was resolved. As they were letting go of each other, Emily's phone rings. When she saw the caller ID, she took a breath in before saying.. " Hello Mom." she was a little nervous as she knew that her mother was probably calling because she wanted to know when will she visit her. " Oh hello dear, how are you? " Her voice was pleasant. " I'm good. Is everything okay, because you sound excited?" " Oh yes, everything is okay here sweetie. It's just that I wanted to know when are you coming your brother is getting married and He asked me to invite you " When Emily heard the question and why she was asking, she felt a little dilemma. She really wanted to go but she doesn't have enough money and she can't just leave her job just like that. " Ah I... I will see what I can do." Emily knew for sure if this was real she was never going to see again. Jim noticed her complicated expression and frowned. When their call ended Emily unaware went in his arms and hid her face on his chest. This made Jim's heart beat faster as it was filled with joy. " Is everything okay? " He looked down to her with a worried expression. Emily raised her head and looked up at him groaning lightly. " My younger brother is getting married soon so she called me asking the same question " oh when are you coming?". I really want to go but I don't have money to buy tickets and who will take care of you when I'm gone?" . Emily walked slowly towards the lilies while Jim following her behind. " Well I can give you some money from my savings." Jim's voice was calm. " Are you hearing yourself? I cannot use the money you worked hard for, and even if I did it still won't be enough. " Emily looked up to the sky and sighed. " Well I won't have a problem with you using the money I earned. You'll just have to think about it as a thank you for everything you've done for me." his voice was tender making Emily sooth down . Emily looked at him and said " thank you, but I won't accept it. And how will you be able to survive without me?" she smiled jokingly. " Well how will I not survive when you're the one that kills me " His tone was playful and packed Emily on the side of her face. Emily's face flushed and rolls her eyes at him..." whatever " " Don't roll your eyes at me. " Jim said half playing and half serious. Emily ignores him and continued to roll her eyes. " Roll them again and I will bite your lips. " his voice sounded like a hungry Wolf. Emily immediately covered her mouth. Jim smiled with success. Two days later it was Monday and Emily wasn't looking forward getting up, but she forced herself out of bed. When she arrives at work she was very tired from last night. Jim and her stayed up late watching movies. They probably slept around 1:30 am. At the restaurant Jim was energetic as usual since he is already used to stay up late since he was always working when he was still the CEO of jMj. Today it was a normal day only few new people came into the restaurant while others were regular customers. When Jim was busy cleaning a table, a young woman probably in her early 20s entered the restaurant. She was wearing glasses on her face making her look even more beautiful. The clothes she wore were a expensive as the people in the restaurant praised. Jim greeted the young lady politely and showed her table. The lady was wore a cold expression and took off her glasses revealing her beautiful blue eyes. She looked at Jim before ordering for a coffee. " One black coffee coming up." Jim writes it down and went to the counter placing the order. Miss Hope was staring at Jim attentively with curiosity. His face looked familiar with someone she couldn't remember his name. She thought for a while until Jim returned with her order. He placed the coffee in front of her respectfully. Miss Hope looked at him and asked... " What is your name? " her voice was softly pitch. Jim didn't think too much about it and said smiling politely..." it's Jen young miss" he bowed showing his respect. Only his the workers in the restaurant call him Jen. Emily is still calling him little Cub and he doesn't mind at all since he got used to it. " Jen or Jim? " she asked deliberately wanting his reaction. Jim was shocked inside but didn't show it as he reads her plan. " Jen " this time his voice was a little bit cold from his previous one. " Oh I see ." She knew that this is actually Jim the person that went missing 2 years ago. " is anything else you need?" Jim didn't know who she was and what she wanted so he didn't want to waste time with her. " No thank you, you can go" Kesha took a sip and beings to think. When Jim went to the back Isabella and Katrina were talking about the beautiful lady that is sitting at the corner. Katrina was so excited when she saw Kesha Hope walking in. She couldn't believe that the most famous model was chilling in their restaurant. Kesha was one of the most loved model by almost everyone. Jim walked up to them and asked what they're talking about.. " OMG have you not seen Kesha Hope?" Katrina asked in an excitement. Jim was lost, who was Kesha? Isabella saw his confusion and explained to him. " You see that girl you were serving right? " Jim nodded. " Well that's Kesha Hope, the most famous model. Everybody loves her. She's rich plus she's beautiful, no wonder everybody likes her man" Isabella wished to have a life like that. She would probably be over the moon right now if that happens. They chatted for a few more minutes before Jim going to the front. As soon as he arrived Kesha Hope called him by making a gesture. Jim started to feel annoyed by her already. He went to her table and was told to sit. When he sat down, Kesha started off like this... " Jim I know it's you. you may have fooled everyone but not me. I know your face, ever since Anna introduced us I never forget your face." Jim didn't know where she was going with this, he didn't want to waste his time with her and asked impatiently..." What do you want?" " Glad you asked. I have an offer for you." she sat back into her chair waiting for his answer.
