sweet like cinnamon
EMBERShe could feel every vein in her body experience a blood rush as she felt herself getting more and more heated up. She didn't know if it was anger or frustration but she couldn't bear it anymore. She wouldn't have to think twice before knowing he had done it on purpose.Probably to ruin all her plans because she refused to tag along with Zaire. But how could he even know where she was going or which restaurant the reservation was at? It would only be foolish to ask herself because he was both rich and powerful.He didn't need anything else o makee this happen."When did he reserve the place though?" She asked out of spite to check if the time had lined up properly."Umm, he made the call earlier and reserved the restaurants. He paid us twice the amount for being so last minute. That's all can tell you because everything else is confidential," she said, apologetically. Ember shook her head a little and let out a deep breath."Thank you so much," she said before leaving. She knew s

She knows it all
EMBER"Now you'll pay me the money at once before I sue you or..", a small evil essence took over his body language with the way he shifted a little only to make her even more intimidated and confused. He tilted his head slightly before he dropped the bomb, "...or you will do exactly what I say to repay this debt.""What debt sir? I don't think I understand at all," she said, trying to hold her composure before she could freak out without even knowing what had brought her into this mess in the first place. She would know first. "There's not much to understand, Ms Campbell-""If this is another one of your tactics then I'm really not ready to play this game with you. I don't know why you are so dead set on me but I'm not taking part in this," she said, starting to lose her cool because it was baffling enough as it is, plus just being around him was giving her anxiety. "Just fire me already.""So that you can escape the debt? How can I let you do that?" He raised an eyebrow to spike her

Make him listen
EMBERZaire Langston Hughes was born rich with a massive golden spoon because his family was filled with multi billionaires with successful businesses and careers. He had it all even before he even knew what that meant. He grew up very lavishly and with comfort, money, amenities, he hardly had been told no to anything. All that he wanted was served right before him on a diamond embedded plate. He probably never even saw what being deprived looked like.Maybe that's why he was like that, he wanted it all and he freaked out when he heard no about anything at all. Maybe that's what had led him to torture Ember like that because of everything that she said. He couldn't handle the rejection so he wanted revenge.If anything, Ember knew that this conclusion felt reasonable too. It was the only way she could explain all of his actions. But if there was more to it, she knew she wouldn't find that out from anyone but him."But there was a stretch in his earlier childhood days that no one reall

The incident
EMBERShe almost couldn't believe she was being thrown into the devil's den just like that. And the fact that the people pleasing trait she had in her never failed to falter in situations like that.So, she had agreed.Ember was about to walk into the study room where Zaire was. The room had a built in library that he used for at least an hour everyday. It was his private space and Ember knew she should probably leave him a lone. But she wanted to get over it as soon as she could."Don't go right now, he hates people in there when he's studying," Bill warned, looking after Ember's feeling because no one would know what he's do."It's alright. I'll just go now," she said with a strange determination. She heard the others whisper about how dead she was or how much she would regret not waiting till he was done. Ember was already facing the worst.Jameson and the others had asked her to try and convince Zaire about letting them stay separately. The two companies, Iris and Sarte had decided

Grievances
EMBER"Thank you.. so much. Ah, I'm relieved. This just took off a great deal of pressure from my mind," Charles sighed with a grin planted on his face. They all really had to hate them to react like that."Yes, now we can finally rest without hearing their disruptive existences literally every where. All up in our personal spaces. Can you believe we'd have to share rooms?" Samantha places herself in the chair of the break room. She looked just as relieved."That's true but the real question is.. how did you even manage to do that? You know we sent you because we were scared to even speak about it to him, right? I can't believe he really agreed," Jameson asked, immediately making Ember's lips seal shut. She looked at them with guilty eyes but they didn't see it."I just tried.. to use logical reasoning. It seems like he listens better when he's out of his cabin," Ember said, lying blatantly. They stared at her with doubt for a few seconds and then only did they break eye contact."Make

You'll come with me
EMBERA week later.The list was out for the core team who will be the representatives of Sarte and work with the Iris core team on the project. Florence's 50th year anniversary was supposed to be grand and Sarte, being one of the largest event management company in the country, had no reason to not prove themselves the best.Ember skimmed through the list to see the known names. Jameson, Charles, Samantha, Will Thompson and Bianca from management, Ashley and Becca from logistics, Mary, Gilbert and Candice from analytics. Bill and Prett. She had already seen it coming that she really didn't have any real job to do there because she was a personal assistant. But when she looked further down, she saw Zaire Langston Hughes name and right below her was, Ember Campbell. She realised she just had to tag along because she was bound with Zaire for her position.But as she focused on it, she noticed two things. One, that the last was missing one person to round it up to fifteen. Which was quit

Jealousy
EMBERHe stepped in first and then only did Ember step towards it. She felt too out of place because she had never even gone remotely close to something like that. The private jet had a few comfortable seats facing each other with a table in between in a few. There was a couch and a TV on opposite sides and it was also spacious. Ember spent minutes looking around in absolute awe. She would literally fly in this thing, she almost couldn't believe it. So much that she even forget for a moment who she was flying with.Ember waited for him to say something but he only spoke to the staff as he placed himself on one of the seats, picking up a magazine and burying his nose into it. Awkwardly, she walked to the seat opposite to him and placed herself, adjusting to it. And with that, she picked up her phone to make sure Ruby was alright."Hey, you okay?" Ember asked."Yes, they're all so nice. I don't miss you at all," Ruby said, making a few more people around her giggle. Ember smiled gently

The Mystery of Him
EMBERShe could feel how hard it was to resist him. She could feel her heightened senses around him. But it was also making her realise that that's all she could feel for him.It was different with Will Thompson because when she fell in love with him, she did because of how he was. She knew little details about him, things he enjoyed, his love for his parents and his passion for books and rollerskates. She liked him for the person she knew him as watching from afar.Even though he treated her terribly, Ember could at least justify why she liked him.But when it came to Zaire, she was clueless why she felt that way. She didn't know almost anything about him, only what she heard from people. She couldn't even read him, or predict his next move. And he makes the same mistakes with her as if he was playing a game. A game to get Ember trapped and locked in forever.And that was bad for her. Just because she was that physically attracted to him, didn't mean that she should just let him do wh

Never me
EMBERShe felt herself quieten down and think about what was it that she was missing out on. When she had researched a little or just heard it from Mary, she had got to know that Zelda Langston Hughes was indeed Zaire's mother. There were no mentions of her being a step mother and she was still very much alive. He had grown up in a wealthy household swarming with servants and staff. Then why did Zaire have to be the one to look after his mother's seizures all alone. Something was clearly not adding up but Ember didn't have it in her to ask."You handled it well too," he said, catching her slightly off guard as she looked up to see him watching her. "You were panicking a little but it was handled smoother because you were there. I haven't experienced that for a long time now so I felt a little lost.""I don't know if it's relevant but I had to look after myself almost all my childhood. I felt not as useful today but I tried," Ember muttered, her mind still somewhere else, trying to dec

We are Nothing
EMBERThe text made her rethink all her sorted headspace. She had thought she would just go back to normal without letting anything make her overthink. But just one text, just one hope of her having any form of interaction with him, made her heart beat faster and faster. She was suddenly letting go of her racked up brain only to make it turn into a spiral of thoughts, all about him. And as she walked out of her hotel room and towards his room, she could feel the goosebumps and the pangs of jealousy when she had seen Zaire enter the car with Selene. Even after trying to get deflected from everything, she was still craving for the last bit of her attention. With that, she reached his door.With a deep breath, her hand struck out to ring the bell on his door. No answer. So she rang it again and only then did she hear some shuffling noises and some talking coming from inside. Before she could try listening in on it, the door opened and he peeked out to look directly at her.He was in a r
