Chapter 14

Emma walked out of the restaurant and she was annoyed. After coming out by this time to this restaurant, he suggested something like that. She went to the side of the road to see if she could find a taxi because she just wanted to get home quickly.

After a while, she managed to stop a taxi that was about to pass by. The taxi stopped next to her and she quickly entered inside.

Julian was still sitting down inside the restaurant. To him, what he suggested was the best plan he could come up with at the moment. And with the way Emma reacted, he was not sure if she would go on with the plan.

He was annoyed and angry, he could not do or think of anything at the moment.

Emma arrived home, she went out of the taxi and paid the taxi driver. The taxi driver drove off and she entered her apartment building. She entered her apartment, closed the door and immediately went to her room.

The evening for her was already ruined, she understood that Julian did not want the engagement or marriage but she did not understand why he had to be insensitive.

She went on to remove the dress she was wearing and wore her night dress. She was tired of the day and she did not want to think too much so she laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.

It is morning now and Emma was already awake. She has already had her bath and now she is in the kitchen. She was hungry because she did not eat last night even at the restaurant she went to.

She just finished making omelet, she put the omelet on a plate and then placed the plate on the table in the kitchen. She grabbed one of her mugs and poured hot water into it, then went to the fridge and opened it. Her fridge did not have many food items which she preferred and the thing she wanted to get now was milk.

She grabbed the milk bottle from the fridge and realized that it was almost finished.

"I guess I will have to get another from the super market." She said to herself.

The thought of the whole drama with the stone family was still in her head and she knew that she would go to meet Gabriel and Rachel today but she tried her best not to think about it.

She poured the remaining milk into the mug and threw the milk bottle into the waste bin. While she ate, the routine felt weird, normally she would be at work by this time.

After a while, she got a notification from her phone which was next to her on the table. She grabbed her phone and saw that it was a text from tommy.

"I see that you have gotten a new phone." The text from tommy said.

"Yeah, Sophie got it for me yesterday." Emma sent a text back. "Did you go to work today?" She sent another text.

"I didn't, after what happen yesterday I felt like I deserve some rest but I'll be at work tomorrow." Tommy replied.

"Yeah I understand too well."

"Since you are asking, that means you also did not go to work today."

"Yeah, the same reason as you and plus I will be going to meet the founders today. I just want to get this over with." Emma texted.

Tommy did not text back immediately and Emma wondered why, she thought that maybe he went to do something but the reason was clear, after he got that text his mood changed and he did not know what else to text.

"Well alright then. I hope things don't get too out of hand for you." Tommy managed to text.

"I really hope so, I am trying my best not to think about the whole thing."

"I will be going now, I need to go work on something, I texted to check up on you." Tommy texted.

"Thanks a lot tommy, I really appreciate it."

"Yeah, talk to you later."

Emma dropped her phone back on the table and took a sip from the mug.

She just finished eating so she dropped the mug and the plate in the sink, then she went to the living room and sat down on one of the couch.

Now she was on her phone, she decided to go to the media to see exactly what they are saying about the engagement.

She focused on the city's news and not to her surprise, the news were all about Julian Stone's engagement. She read and scrolled through the post and she was somewhat relieved, relieved that the news mostly mentioned Julian Stone's engagement and nothing much about her.

"One good thing about being a nobody." Emma said to herself.

She kept on scrolling and then a post caught her attention. It was a post about Julian inheriting Omnicore in two months.

"Well that is soon." Emma said to herself.

After a while Emma dropped her phone and started to think, the fact that she was home, sitting on a couch in the afternoon scrolling through the media got to her. She started to feel lonely which she does not normally feel.

She stood up and went to her room, she decided to get her mind distracted by going to the store to get the milk and any other thing she might need.

She went on to dress into something better for going out and when she finished that she walked up to her front door, left her apartment and locked the door.

Now she was out of her apartment building, her mind was clear and it was what she wanted. She went to the road side and flagged down a taxi.

A taxi stopped and she entered.

"Where to?" the Taxi driver asked.

"The super market please." Emma replied.

"Which one?"

"Yeah, the one closest."

The taxi driver started to drive and Emma relaxed on the seat and took a deep breath.

Now she started to think about last night when she was with Julian. She was disappointed with herself because of the way she reacted. To her Julian was insensitive and how she reacted was valid but she was always good at not reacting to things and just keeping a straight face.

The drive continued and for some reason Emma decided to look back and she noticed something. There was a car behind the Taxi and she saw the same car close to her apartment building.

It was weird but she did not want to put too much thought into it so she face forward and relaxed back on the seat.
