CHAPTER 26- HIS AUTHORITY
Jane could not take it anymore, she stood up and before she could do something that would make her regret it. She let out a heavy sigh and stared at him for the last time.
“Try to ruin my life once again and I will expose to them the truth about you and we’ll see who will be shameful in the end.”
She stood up and threw a sharp look and she did not want to hear some things from him so she turned and walked away.
“That man was obviously pathetic!” she whispered while unlocking the door of her car.
When she finally gets in the car. She sighed and screamed loudly and tapped hard to the steering wheels. She could not believe that Anders was just threatening her but she would not allow him to be bullied by him just like before.
“Where are you Emily?”
Question that was on her head and has not been yet answered, Jane was doing her best just to find her friend, and she would make sure that she would be the first to know where she was.
Jane started the engine and while warming it up she dialed Emily’s number and heard the ringtone of her friend.
“Answer it! Please,” she said a couple of times and left the place.
Meanwhile, Anders was left at the restaurant in his hotel. His fist were clenching and was about to call someone when George went closer to him.
“Mr. Winston, I think you would like to see something at your office,” said George and handed over the ipad to Mr. Winston.
Anders widened his eyes when he saw someone at his office who was sitting on the chair and was looking at the surroundings.
He swiftly stood up and said, “Tell my secretary that I’ll be at the office in a minute.” his face were in annoyance the moment he saw the video. He left the restaurant and walked straight at the parking lot.
When, George and Anders get in the luxurious car, Anders looked at George and said,
“Did you settle everything?”
“Yes, Mr. Winston,”
“Did you make sure that no media knew about the incident last time?”
“Absolutely Mr. Winston,”
“Did you cancel the meeting today?”
“Yes, and others too, You don’t need to worry about anything.”
George smiled at him but he could see his uneasiness with the situation right now. A smile appeared on his face and said, “She’s lucky to have you, Mr. Winston,”
A serious face made Anders furrow more of his brows and said. “What are you talking about?” then, leaned his back and crossed both of his arms.
“I mean you and Miss Emily, and-” but George stopped as Anders suddenly cut him off.
“You know me, I never settle for one woman,” then he shook his head and did not take it seriously at all.
George laughed and said, “Alright, Mr. Winston,”
Not for long they arrived at his office and Anders went out of his car without any words and that made George smile wider as he was staring at him being in a hurry to be in the building.
The employees greeted him but Anders did not mind them and just hopped into his elevator with his brows furrowed. The elevator stopped and opened the door wherein the employees were busy doing their work and some noticed him and greeted him as well. His secretary walked straight to him but he ignored them and just walked straight to his office.
He opened the door and saw someone sitting on the couch and whispered, “Emily?”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman heard it and turned her sight to her back.
“Mr. Winston,” Then she stood up and was worried that he would be mad at her.
He walked straight to her and hugged her tight.
“Are you okay? Did they do something at you?” he continuously asked her while hugging her tight.
Emily could not believe what happened, she lightly shook her head and said, “Calm down, Mr. Winston…”
But her words were shut as Anders sealed her lips with his warm kiss.
“I told you never call me Mr. Winston, just Anders, okay?” he said while cupping her face.
Emily felt uneasy by the way he did to her so she put away his hands and said, “I’m fine and I’m sorry for not reaching you out quickly.”
Then, silence crossed both of them. They both looked at each other and no words came out.
He did not expect it from her so he did not say any words and just stepped back from her. He walked straight to his desk and sat on his reclining chair.
“So, Mr. Wins… I mean Anders. I am here to quit because we agreed last time.” she bravely said and pressed her lips while waiting for his answer.
Anders seriously looked at her and said, “It has been processed and our company has been already invested on your bankruptcy, besides we’re not even started yet, Miss Emily,”
She cleared her throat and said, “You can’t threaten me,” then, she put both of her hands on the desk.
“Of course I can, I am rich and bought you already so technically you’re mine, Emily,” he emphatically said and let his back rested while his eyes were pinned on her.
Emily quickly shook her head and could not believe that this was happening to her, she came here to settle everything with Mr. Winston about the collaboration but not in this way.
“I can pay your company with the damages.” she bravely looked at him without any trace of fear on her eyes.
Anders laughed and crossed both of his arms and said, “You will pay me?!” he emphatically said.
“How will you do that? Your company is rotten already and be thankful enough that I accepted it.”
Anders plastered a devil’s smile on his face and just stared at her while waiting for her words.
“I told you. Your job will be easy as pie,” he said with an assurance on his face,”
Emily could not utter any words as Anders was squeezing her into the situation now. She let out a heavy sigh and was about to speak her words but she saw him stood up and walked straight to her. She stepped back and was not getting near to him right now but Anders kept on moving near to her.
“Please stop right there, Mr.- I mean Anders!” she said with an emphatic tone of voice.
“Are you scared of me, Emily?” he seductively said.
