CHAPTER 89: A KISS
“A surprise?” Emma asked Sam and he nodded.
What could Sam have in store for her? Emma wondered.
“Don’t drift your mind farther than it can reach.” Sam told her with a smile.
“You can’t guess it .” he added and she giggled.
“Why don’t you wait for me around here. ” Sam beckoned Emma.
“I’ll go somewhere. I’ll come pick you here by 5pm so we can leave. ” he told her.
Emma was still in the hotel where the conference meeting took place. She slept and woke up around 5pm. She remembered Sam telling her to get ready by 5pm before he went out so Emma quickly jumped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. After showering, she wore a colorful emerald gown . it was short and classy. The hem of the dress was decorated with flowers which looked as if they were falling off.
‘Meet me downstairs when you are ready.’ Sam texted her.
Emma read the text message with a smile and quickly got ready after putting on her comfortable brown heels and she grabbed her purse. Before coming downstairs to meet Sam, she stood before the mirror admiring herself while smiling from ear to ear.
While glancing at the mirror, Emma noticed how slender she had become. Her tummy was flat and she rubbed her palms around it. She loved the way she look. In the last two years, she had transformed into a model figure and this transformation was all she ever wanted.
“You look beautiful as always.” Sam complemented her as she carefully walked down the stairs to meet him.
“Thank you.” She replied after walking down to meet him.
He smiled and was soon lost in her eyes. Her face was glowing and Sam wondered why Emma rarely had make up on if it always looked good on her. Her outfit was perfect and so did she look thought Sam.
“Are we good to go?” Emma said snapping her fingers at Sam’s face.
He smiled and rubbed his palms down his face. He was lost in her face and Emma sensed it
“Sorry.” he managed to say.
Sam held Emma by the arm and led her to his car. He opened the front door for her and she gracefully sat uttering ‘Thanks.”
She wrapped the seat belt around her and Sam did the same the moment he sat. Emma noticed there was no driver. She knew Sam will be driving them.
“Where to?” She askedContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Sam said nothing and began driving. He was smiling while Emma wondered where he was taking her too.
Sam drove Emma outside the city and Emma almost thought they were leaving Los Angeles. He then parked the car in front of a beautiful pent house.
“Wow” marveled Emma the moment they alighted from the car.
The pent house was built by a seaside. It was colored grey and it’s features could be seen from the outside. The windows and doors were made of glass. The house was comfortably standing on a concrete and below it was a huge collection of water. Emma had never seen a beautiful and uniquely carved house like that before.
“Welcome to my pent house in this city.” announced Sam while Emma kept staring at the unique architectural work before her.
“You own this?” she asked Sam as if she didn’t hear him say his pent house.
“Yes.” he replied smiling at her surprised expression.
“Come with me.” he demanded.
Emma followed Sam and they climbed the way up the house stepping on a strong wooden ladder which was considered the stairs. Emma kept looking around in astonishment.
“This place is beautiful.” she confessed and Sam sniffled.
They then got into the large living room. The living room was so large that at that moment Emma couldn’t help but scream “Wow.”
“I’ll show you around.” Sam offered and she walked closely behind him.
Small took Emma to the beautiful sections of the house. She looked around noticing how the walls were made of glass as well as the doors and windows. She knew the property must have cost a fortune.
Sam took her to the rooms, the spacious art gallery and even the terrace. While Sam took her on the tour, Emma complemented every part of the pent house that drew her attention.
She also noticed Sam’s art collection. She didn’t need to be told they were expensive. The well drawn portraits and portraits caught her attention too.
Sam then took Emma to his Kitchen and she met Bryan his chef.
“I’ll be right back.” Sam said leaving the kitchen. He hurried upstairs excitedly.
“Hello. Welcome Ma. Bryan greeted her with a warm smile which she reciprocated smiling back.
Shortly afterwards, Bryan had prepared a sumptuous dinner and place it on the table. He invited Sam and Emma to the table.
They were done eating dinner and were sharing a glass of wine in the living room.
“Tonight we shall relax and have fun.” Sam said to her.
‘Tomorrow we shall begin business proper.” he added
“I will give you a tour of Los Angeles before we leave the city.” Sam offered and Emma accepted with a nod.
“We can even have a cinema moment right here. ” he suggested
Sam then proceeded to turn on the flat screen television screen which took a huge part of the wall. He told Emma to relax and watch the movie.
While watching the movie, Sam stole glances at Emma which she noticed.
“Business requires patience Emma. ” he told her. The were seating opposite each other on the couch.
“I started with one bar and gradually I expanded it. You need patience and financial discipline Emma. ” he stated with his fists tied.
“You need to set a target and master the act of wine tasting. ” he further said and Emma nodded.
“Tomorrow, I shall take you out and you shall practically see what this business is all out. ” maintained Sam.
“I’ll also show you my wine collection and teach you how wine tasting works. ” he promised.
“Thank you very much for today.” She told him.
Sam had invited her to his business meeting earlier and now to his penthouse. Tomorrow, he promised to take her on a practical endeavor.
“Don’t mention.” he hinted
Sam led Emma into the penthouse and ushered her into one of the guest rooms.
“You need to rest.” he told her after she got into the room.
Sam was standing beside the door and Emma was few meters away from him.
“Good night Emma.” he said slowly.
He quickly moved closer to her and kissed her lips and he began to shiver over the act. Emma pulled him and kissed him back.
