1533 Words
Heading towards the dance floor with Mr Quinn, Emris could the gaze of the guests on them. Placing his hands on her waist, Devin got a hold of her bright hands while the injured left was placed carefully on his shoulder.
Getting a clear view of his face, she could see he was blessed with excellent features, with eyebrows that flew into his temples, long eyelashes like crow feathers, a high and straight nose bridge, pale lips with a hint of coolness. His jet black hair was styled to the side.
Emris couldn't help but feel a little heart-fluttered.
"You look gorgeous." he said snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Thank You, you don't look bad yourself Mr Quinn." Emris replied
Devin chuckled, "So, how's your hands Miss Emris?"
"It's fine,just a scratch Mr Quinn." Emris answered
"Just Devin, call me Devin." he continued
"Ok." She smiled at him.
Looking over she saw Dawson with his girlfriend, Samantha Crawford dancing. He looked over and Emris winked at him getting him to smile. Turning her attention back to the man in front of her, she caught him staring deeply at her.
"Hmm, so you're the cold CEO of Quinn's Enterprise of am not mistaken right Mr Quinn." Emris asked trying to ease the awkwardness.
"Yeah that's me" Devin answered as he twirled her.
Emris raised an eyebrow at his words. "Really, you don't look that cold to me."
Devin chuckled, "You should believe the rumors Miss Tales."
As the music came to an end a round of applause could be heard as they made their way towards Tyler, who came running towards them demanding Emris carried him, which she did but carefully to prevent my injured palm from bleeding Not that she was scared of the pain, she just didn't want her family to get worked up.
"Emmy, you danced beautifully with my daddy." Tyler complimented
"Thank you little guy" she replied.
The three of them continued talking till Bryce came over to take her with him.
"Mr Quinn if you would excuse Emris and I." He said
"It was nice meeting you Mr Quinn and you Tyler." Emris said to the father and son pair giving Tyler to his father as she pecked his cheek
"Let's go Bryce" she said hooking my hands to his hand
"Ok, so am going to introduce you to some of my business partners" he said nodding towards some group of men
"But why?" She asked out if curiosity
"Well they wanted to have a chat with the Yales daughter." he said and sge chuckled at this.
"Oh well let's go then." She replied heading towards them with Bryce
"Hello gentlemen, meet my sister, Emris Yales."
"Hello Miss Emris." they greeted
"Hi" She replied
They continued talking till Emris excused herself.
"If you would excuse me." Emris continued as she faced Bryce who gave her his permission before she left their gathering. Going towards her cousins she got a wink from Cecile.
"Is there something you want to ask me?" Emris asked as she saw her grinning like a child
"What's with you and Mr Quinn?"Cecile asked
"Yeah, I heard that he doesn't like to approach women or even have a conversation with them" Celest chipped in
"Especially his son Tyler Quinn, who is really conservative and doesn't like to mingle with strangers"Cecile continued
"Oh I didn't know that, and I don't know why the son allowed me to touch me or why the father talked to me"She said being shocked by this revelation.
"Oh girl, Mr Quinn might be smithen by your beauty." Eldoris squealed as she said
"And might be interested in you already"Celest added looking at her
"You guys should stop your nonsense. Am sure it's because I kept his son company." Emris replied shrugging
As they continue their talk, they noticed that the party has ended and the guests were leaving but that didn't stop them, because they knew they would be the last to leave.
Let's go Celest." Nathan Sullivan said to his sister as he made his way towards the girls with his parents following.
"Hello uncle,Hello aunt." Emris greeted as she went towards my aunt who caressed her hair looking at her lovingly.
"Ah Emris, how are you doing dear. It's been long I've seen you face to face" she told her.
Well that's true, she has been away from her family because of my studies and career for seven years now and apart from the video calls with them this is the first time they saw her after so long in front of them.
"I'm fine aunt." Emris replied
"You should go home now and get some rest, you know you will have alot of work tomorrow at the office." Her uncle interjected patting her head
"Yes uncle." She said as they left
"It's such a pity that Nathan actually took interest in Chaya Smith." Cecile said as she sighed
"But now he has seen her true nature he wouldn't get close to her." Eldoris replied
"What about Chaya Smith, she might still throw herself at him." Cecile reminded
"I don't think that would happen because she would be busy as from now." Emris said as she smirked
"You really won't let her off after what she did right?" Cecile inquired
"Why not, she just made a mistake no need to rub it in." Emris continued.
if only they knew what she had in mind for Chaya.'
"What are you guys talking about?" Dawson asked as he came over accompanied by Samantha.
"Hey Sam, how are you?" Emris asked as she hugged Samantha
"I'm good." she replied
The both of them talked for a while before Samantha went home.
"Bryce where's Miss Fausto?" Emris said looking around
"She went home with her parents."
"Ok, can you take me home am so tired"Emris said walking over to Bryce as she rest her head on his arm
"Bryce carry, I can't walk"She requested pouting
"Ok Princess" he replied chuckling as he carried here horizontally resting her head on his chest.
"Spoilt brat." Dawson commented as he flicked Emris's head
"Hey that hurts." She grimaced holding her forehead
"Hey what was that for." Dawson asked as he got a slap in the head from Xavier.
"Hey Bruce on a second thought I think Dawson should take me home." Emris said stopping Bryce from taking her out.
"Ok." Bryce agreed dropping her down.
"Come on kettle head let's go home." Emris said to Dawson making her way out of the hall
"You......" Dawson wanted to curse at her when he saw the eyes of his older brothers and parents.
Feeling wronged, Dawson said, "Ok fine let's go."
Stepping out of the hall and towards his Rolls Royce Dawson placed Emris in the front passenger seat before helping her with her seatbelt, then he made his way towards the driver seat.
"You are driving?" Emris asked looking at him
"Yeah,you want to sleep so I have to drive and not delay using a driver." Dawson told her
Dawson continued, "So do you think he's the one, or it's just a coincidence."
"Emris looked ahead of her, "No, he's not the one and there would be no need to investigate."
Dawson got speechless. "How do you know I would investigate?"
"I know you D, and there's really no need he's not the one. And am sure after today I might not even remember him."
"Ok then I think you should take this, if you really want to sleep." Dawson said passing her pills to her.
"Ok. So does this mean that you and Samantha Crawford are dating now?" Emris asked Dawson the moment she swallow her drugs.
"Yeah, she has been the one I wanted for long, so now I got her." Dawson grinned as he said.
"That's good, am getting a sister-in-law soon. You should bring her home more often." She told him
"Hmm" Dawson answered.
"So would you be able to go to the office tommorow?" Dawson asked only to find out Emris was sleeping.
"That's a good thing." Dawson muttered to himself

Getting home, Dawson looked towards his little sister who was still sleeping. He carried her out of the car and towards the house carefully not wanting to wake her up.
Going inside he signalled for a maid to follow him as he went towards the elevator going up the fourth floor. This whole floor was owned by Emris, and the interior here was to her taste looking all modern and bold. Each of David Yales kids got themselves their own floor to respect their privacy.
Helping her young master open the door to the young Miss's room, she tapped her hands lightly making the lights come up.
Walking towards her bed, Dawson dropped Emris carefully on the bed to prevent waking her up before facing the maid.
"Clean the makeup carefully and change her clothes. Make sure she is comfortable while you do that."
"Yes master Dawson." the maid replied as he went out of the room and towards his own floor.
Approaching Emris, the maid did her assignment carefully and quickly before leaving the room turning the light off.
