"It happened so fast." Emily paused for a few seconds, "I was almost done for the day, and then this man came..""He asked me if he could come in, even after I had asked him in and that was when I recalled what you had said. Lauren, I ran inside as fast as I could and shut the door firmly but when I got into my workspace, he was there. Sitting on my chair so comfortably."The scene she had witnessed kept replaying in her head and wouldn't stop. And there was the guilt she felt that kept tugging at her heart.If she hadn't ordered pizza. Only if she hadn't." …..the next thing I know, Peter is dead, and I was all scrunched up in a corner, waiting for him to snap my head off but I woke up and found myself in Transylvania. How could so much happen in one night?" Emily asked, curiosity laced in her tone. "All I can think of now is what he had thought or had he any thoughts?"Lauren had urged her to use the bathroom immediately when she opened her eyes. She said it would help in calming d

"Such an egoist!" Emily muttered under her breath."I heard you!" Roman smirked." If you didn't, you would be surprised." Emily shrugged, "because it was meant to be heard."Roman scoffed and began walking in the opposite direction towards the exit "So when do we start?" Emily asked, causing him to halt."I'm ready, even now." Roman replied."I don't have my tools." Emily raised her brows, "And we need an empty room.""You can use my office, and about the tools;" Roman told her, "just say the words and they'd be available at your disposal."Emily's brows rose a bit higher questioningly, but she chose to say nothing. "Let me know when you're up to it." Roman told her.The earlier she attended to him, the more advantageous it was for her. First, she would get a cure which excited her, even by barely thinking about it and second, she would get out of here and resume her normal life. She was certain that the whole office was worried about her."What do you say about this afternoon?" Sh

Grabbing a drink from a tray as it passed by him, Roman maneuvered through the crowd of bodies that were either grinding or rocking against each other to get to Rose.It was an uneasy feeling; one of the reasons he hated public gatherings. There was always a mix of Cologne that was too harsh and strong, body odors and the conversations he felt were unnecessary.Not that all the conversations were unnecessary, but some. People always wanted to know how you were doing, if you're a woman, the number of ladies in your harem and if you had any new additions. And there were those that just needed updates about your life.All those weren't conversations that tripped him. He preferred to talk about things that mattered and were important."Sorry." He apologized to the lady he bumped into but she just smiled and winked at him invitingly.Roman grinned back at her. It wasn't an acknowledgement of her enticing offer or anything, it was his way of saying he wasn't interested in her Nicely.Lost i

He had called her office and had them deliver her working equipment to him?It was the audacity for her but that wasn't what caused Emily to lean on the wall with new dumbfoundedness.Firstly, she hadn't been at work for the past five days which was almost a week and the next thing he was calling her office to ask them to send equipment over?Didn't he see how that would make her look? She was nearing promotion this month, reasons why she put in more effort than she'd like and all it took him to sabotage that was just a minute?Regrets of not informing her superior's about the new developments taking place in her life since everything began, took a toil on her.Why hadn't she called?Why hadn't she even thought about calling them? Why?!Why?!Why?!Emily banged her forehead on her palms, grunting.Taking a peek at him, she noticed how his eyes lit up with excitement and his lips tilted at the corners. She could bet everything that he was laughing at her in his head!!Wasn't he going t

"He must be mad at me." Emily said to Lauren the next day. "I swear I didn't mean to. I was in the shower, just like I told him. I must have decided to nap a little, which led to my sleeping off. Lauren, I was that tired.""Surprisingly, he wasn't mad." Lauren said, succumbing on the bed beside Emily, "He objected when I volunteered to wake you. He said to let you sleep.""Hmmn." Emily sighed. "He really did? He wasn't grumpy and all that?""I know what you think, Emily, but Roman isn't like that, especially when you get to know him." Lauren Said."I'm not even thinking, Lauren. I'm only feeling guilty. Imagine the manner in which I talked to him yesterday only to turn around and do the same thing he did to me yesterday and mine is worse!!"Lauren laughed. "Is there something you're not telling me? Why would you feel bad? Don't tell me you spent only two days a few days with him and you're already smitten?"Emily gave her the death stares. "Oh please, I could never get smitten by him.
