CHAPTER 2- YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE

"She really got the guts". He said to himself as a smirk formed on his lips. Emma on the other hand was engrossed with what she was jotting down on a piece of paper. Looking back at the handsome stranger,she smiled faintly then togged the piece into his pants pocket as she had tied down his hands.

"You can untie me now". He said sarcastically. Emma let out a confused look at his words,then smiled cutely at him.

"Dear mister cute stranger, your kind gesture has been denied and won't be accepted. I hope you rest well and enjoy your stay. Goodbye" Emma said blowing kisses to him. With that she assisted herself up and adjusted her dress. Giving him a last glance,she jogged away from sight like one who'd won a lotto, like a child who has just done something silly yet very exciting to her.

"Wait..., what's your name??". The strange said aloud finally finding his voice. But the weird beign had already been long gone.

"You just began a new chapter of your life with me lady. You can run,but you can't hide from me your whole life,i'll surely get back at you".....

TWO YEARS LATER 🌅

"This is the last lady who's here for the interview Boss". Michael (Ivan's PA) said,as he kept the file consisting some details about the lady who's yet to be approved to work with them neatly on his boss's desk.

"She's Emma James by name and has more work experience than requested in the field she seeks for". Michael finalised awaiting his boss's order.

"Send her in". Ivan stated and with that Michael excused himself.

Getting to the long hall way where job seekers were been held and attended to,he approached an interviewer and whispered something into her ear as she nodded in approvement.

"Emma James??", The interviewer called out gaining the full attention of the one whom the name belonged to.

"Right here maam". Emma said as she hurriedly came to the lady's reach in anticipation for any news hopefully a good one.

"Obviously you're the only one left from all the attendants, you didn't really need to have been loud enough to gain the attention of some passer by". The interviewer said with a cheerful smile.

"I'm sorry ma'am, that truthfully didn't cross my mind". Emma explained not wanting to miss the opportunity for a good job as this.

"Not a problem Miss". The lady said with a brighter smile of which Emma returned half heartedly.

"By the way miss, your presence is needed in the boss's office. No need to be nervous Be rest assured, he's a cool one, but could be hot tempered sometimes mostly if messed with or tampered with something that's his". The lady informed with an assuring smile.

"Well, thanks alot ma'am, i'll keep that in mind". Emma smiled with gratitude. This was just the information she wanted to hear,to know the kind of boss she might be working with. Turning to face the opposite direction,she didn't know what else to have in mind than to guess where exactly the office door is.

"Please ma'am,where can I find the door to the office?". Emma questioned with politeness.

"Oh, that, sorry i didn't tell you about that. Well it's the last door by your right just straight ahead of the direction you're facing". The interviewer replied with a smile. Emma returned back the smile and left almost hurriedly to avoid getting the boss angered, the nervousness not fully out. As she traced her steps till she reached the exact door before giving it a silent knock getting the permission to access through the door.

"Good day Sir, I'm Emma James by name, and i'm here for a job". Emma greeted as politely and respectfully as ever.

"Why do i suddenly feel unusual?, this voice,it sounds so real,am i still dreaming again?, after a year of consistent dreams or still, imaginations, and it's just feeling like all those dreams are really true for once. But why all of a sudden??". Ivan thought to himself beign engrossed with the document at hand but his mind was far overboard to the things around he didn't even notice if someone entered.

"Sir,". Emma called out, interrupting him from his blank moment as he shock off all thoughts gaining his present self before answering to the person who just interrupted his sleep. Just then, time seemed to stop as they both stared at themselves questioningly.
