Emma's lips were still parted, staring at him in shock. What was he doing at her office? How did he end up here?Her eyes were also bulging in disbelief; at a certain point, she thought that her mind was playing tricks on her and that she was just being paranoid. “I must be crazy,” Emma whispered to herself. She turned away, trying to convince herself that who she was seeing couldn't possibly be real.But Alex remained where he was with his hand, placed his hand on the top of the mop stick and his legs casually crossed.“You aren't imagining anything, I'm right here, standing behind you. You look like you've seen a ghost.” Alex chuckled.Emma's hand went to her forehead, she was exasperated. She faced Alex and looked at him from head to toe.“I can't believe this. What are you doing here? In a janitor's uniform? “Her questions were laced with confusion and anger.She knew he wasn't here because he truly wanted to work. Her ex-boyfriend had always been lazy, despite completing his edu

CHAPTER 23.Emma stared blankly as she made the decision to leave, but suddenly, she changed her mind. “If I leave, wouldn't that make me a coward?” Emma asked herself and gave the note a second glance. “I won't leave. I came to this country because this company has the best benefits ever. I'm sure that's what Elizabeth and Alex want. They want me to run away like a dog with its tail between its legs.” Emma scoffed. “I won't grant Elizabeth her wish. I'm not leaving and if she tries hurting my children. I'm going to kill her.” She mouthed out those words with spite lacing her tone. “That bitch!” Emma sneered and tore the note apart. She had already studied the address, there was no need of staring at it, any longer. “Let me go for that dinner and see what the idiot has to say but before that, I have to finish this project and give it to Liam,” Emma muttered and used her swivel chair to get to the trash can. She dropped the shredded pieces of paper into it and pushed her chair ba

Emma was so terrified, she dropped her bag on the floor and rushed to her children, who were confused by her reaction. “Open your mouths!” She said frantically, attempting to get the chocolate out of their mouth. She stuck her fingers into their mouths, desperately trying to get them to gag. “Mommy, Stop!.” Aziel cried out, his eyes tearing up. “You're hurting us.” Roland and Jenny were shocked and at a loss for words as they watched Emma's panicked state Roland had to intervene and pull Emma away from her kids. “The chocolate must be poisoned, Let them throw it up.” Emma cried, tears slipping from her eyes. “Emma, what are you talking about?” Roland asked, bewildered by her words and actions. “Why would chocolate be poisoned? Why are you being so agitated.” He questioned her. “We need to take them to the hospital.” Emma pleaded desperation and fear in her voice. The thought of losing her children was more than she could bear. She didn't want to listen to Roland anymore, she

Liam gazed at Emma, his eyes went down to her lips, which were twitching a little. He would have loved to kiss her, but he didn't want her to feel awkward.He didn't want gossip to start spreading, either. The kiss might bring negative comments about her and also cause some problems in the relationship that he thought she had. “Kiss!” Elizabeth was grimacing, where she sat. She didn't want something so intimate to happen between them. It would kill her. She darted her eyes to Mr. Smith, who kept insisting that they kissed. She glared at the man, seething with anger, she desperately wanted to tell him to shut up and sit down, but she maintained her composure.Then, she looked at Liam who was still staring at Emma. She knew that Liam was contemplating kissing Emma, and it made her heart sink.'Don't kiss her! Please don't!' Elizabeth thought to herself. Her breath shuddered, and her body got tense. She saw as he tore his gaze away from Emma and stood up.Her heart stopped beating fo

Emma's hand slowly went to her chest as she wondered what was happening to her. She always chided herself for thinking oddly, but this time she gave herself a full scolding. It wasn't right to think that way about her boss. She thought that he wasn't interested in her, and it was bizarre for her to develop any romantic feelings for him.'This can't happen to me, I have to control my thoughts and how I react towards certain gestures. He's simply being nice to me, I shouldn't overthink it.' Emma said inwardly before sucking in deep breaths. Liam walked into the elevator with her and struggled to press a button. “I'll do it,” Emma said and pressed the button that would lead them to the first floor. “Thanks.” Liam smiled. “You can put me down, don't I have so much weight?” Emma asked, wanting him to drop her. “No, you don't have weight. You are as light as a feather.” Liam chuckled, but when he lowered his gaze, he caught her glaring at him. “It's true, you're perfect. I can carry y
