MAKE ME YOURS

chapter 3: possessive Ceo

"Emerald Blake, I need you in my office. Now." The telephone blared.

"He's such a jerk," Emerald muttered, picking up her phone and walking dejectedly to his office.

"What's wrong, CEO Jason?" Emerald asked, standing woefully in front of him. She looked so miserable that he almost burst out laughing.

"I will be having a meeting with Xavier Company to talk about the projects that will be handed to them," Jason said, looking directly into her eyes.

"At the company?" she asked.

"Nope. A lunch date," he replied, grabbing his car keys. "And we are late," he added.

"Okay, let me go get prepared," she said.

"No time," Jason said and walked out fast-paced, leaving Emerald's little legs totally behind.

"Can you walk more slowly?" Emerald complained.

Jason stopped to complain about her manners, but Emerald collided into his broad chest as the two of them fell to the company's marble floor, drawing gasps from workers passing by.

"Miss Blake, can you please be less clumsy?" Jason asked, helping her up."Can you not stop suddenly in front of someone? It's childish," Emerald snapped, throwing his hand away and walking toward the company elevator.

Jason turned and glared at the still-watching workers before moving past Emerald. "I don't use that," he blurted.

" What !!"she said confused.

"I have my personal elevator," he said, trying to make her understand, but not succeeding.

"But didn't your sister use one of these normal elevators?" she asked again.

"You have a lot of questions to ask, troublemaker," Jason replied without looking at her.

"Says the one with a sharp tongue," she muttered aside.

Jason ignored her instead and walked toward his car. "Can you drive?" he asked, getting in.

"I don't have a car," she replied.

"I didn't ask that," he said. He revved the car to leave after she’d gotten in and locked the door. There was silence throughout the drive, neither wanting to start an unfinishable argument.

"We are here," Jason said, getting out of the car.

Emerald got out after him and looked up at the small, luxurious restaurant standing elegantly before her. "Oh, who is up for the bill? I'm so broke," Emerald said, bending to tie a loose lace on her shoe.

"That sharp tongue," Jason snorted as she got up, realizing he was already inside the restaurant.

She stood upright and entered the restaurant, sitting beside him. Shortly after, the representatives for Xavier Company also came in and sat down as coffees and veggies were served.

Jason and Xavier exchanged pleasantries as they clinked their cups in introduction.

"You look familiar," Emerald said to Xavier before the introduction.

"On TV opera or something?" Xavier replied.

"No, more than that," Emerald replied, laughing softly with Xavier.

Jason watched them, a storm of jealousy forming in his chest as he added his usual fake-sounding laughter.

"Can't we just introduce ourselves?" Jason asked, laughing in a deliberately awful way that made Emerald wince.

"Yes, yes, you are right, Jason," Xavier replied, standing up first with his cup of coffee in his hand. "I am Xavier Milton, CEO of Xavier International Company," Xavier began.

"By any chance... did you attend Mega College?" Emerald asked, anxiety flickering across her face.

"Yeah. How did you know?" Xavier asked, surprised.

"The multon. you remember max Blake? or perhaps Samantha bronze?" she asked again leaving Jason wondering why she would have to be bringing up Samantha now.

"The 13 years old student that murdered max and Alex miller?, I remember so well.i was 14 then" Xavier replied laughing enguishly.

"well,I'm emerald Blake, max Blake's kid sister" emerald explain.

"wow,I never remembered!!" Xavier said excitement in his face " that studious nerd! you're so grown now!" he added.

"Thanks, you're not bad too!" Emerald replied glad he remembered her.

Xavier pulled her close for a hug as the hug lasted for 3 minutes as Jason stood up and pulled Xavier away laughing extra weirdly making other people in the coffee stop laughing at his actions.

"Samantha,max,Alex,blah blah blah we all remembered now let's get back to business" Jason said pulling them both to their seat.

"Never know we will meet again," Xavier was saying.

"I said ENOUGH," Jason cut in, shoving a large spoonful of vegetables into his mouth as he almost choked on it. "The project is built on the new adjustment of my company, JIEC. As we would have to spread it worldwide, and we have decided to add the project to you, believing you would do a great job."

The meeting began as files were read out. After about forty-seven minutes, the meeting ended as they all exchanged pleasantries again.

Xavier and Emerald shocked hands again for a longer time discomforting Jason. as he forcefully loosen the handshake intentionally hurting Xavier's index finger as he winced out.

"you're okay?" Emerald asked moving to touch him but Jason stopped her, spinning her around " Emerald,go wait for me in the car I have a personal business with Xavier here.

"but....." Emerald hesitated for a while before moving towards the exit with Xavier's secretary.

"Don't try what you pulled out there again, or else—" Jason said, pulling up the side of his suit to show a well-fitted gun. "I will leave you for today," he added, tapping Xavier's shoulder.

"Since we all attended Mega College... it's so bad," Xavier said, making Jason stop halfway without facing him.

"You will just become Samantha. Where is she now? A powerful mafia queen with two kids but nothing like love. She killed her own family and left her best friend to rot around searching for jobs and retiring as a drunkard," Xavier added.

"Well, I'm not Samantha. Even though what she did was right to me, I already found my love. I just need to harvest it," Jason replied coldly and walked away.
