Emma glanced at her wristwatch for the hundredth time. She was late for work, which isn't going to end well with her boss Mr. Joe.

　　He had told her to come very early that day because she had an important presentation to propose.

　　"If not for this mechanic who disappointed me today again eh, my car would have been ready by now," she said angrily while flipping her long hair backward to prevent it from entering her eyes.

　　She footed on the pavement to get a better view if a taxi was coming while standing there looking angry but cute at the same time which annoys her sometimes because her friend often tells her, her angry face looks too cute to show her angriness.

　　She stood there, waiting for a taxi to arrive when a car spattered rainwater all over her body while trying to save her face from the dirty water, she missed a step, this made one of her heels to break.

　　"What the hell just happened?" Emma screamed in bewilderment. She noticed the car stopped a few meters from where she stood. She couldn't even think of walking towards it because of her broken heel.

　　The car's door was unlocked and a chauffeur dashed to where she was standing.

　　"Ma'am, I'm really sorry, I never knew water was there," He said apologetically looking at her stained dress. She bent her head to see how bad the dress was ruined, "Shit" She murmured.

　　He tried to clean the dirt away with a handkerchief

　　"Just leave it, else it will spread

　　"Okay thank you, and I'm sorry once again, it wasn't intentional"

　　"It's okay I..."

　　Emma was interrupted by the presence of a man who got down from the back door of the car. Her breath was taken away by his arrival and aura of confidence. He looked like a freshly baked cake with his fragrance dominating the air.

　　While she was admiring the strange good looking man, her cell phone rang. This tugged her back to reality. "Jeez, my boss," she knew, she was late and he will be furious.

　　Mr. Joe is all about his money and he makes sure he gets it with hard work, and of course, with the help of Emma, he knew she was a great asset to the company, she had finalized multiple deals and she was about to finalize one too. She picked the call.

　　"Hello, s..."

　　"Get your ass over here now!" Mr. Joe interrupted her greeting with a yell and hung up.

　　"Damn it" She looked at her clothes again in frustration, Just then the good looking man whom she was admiring walked closer to her and his chauffeur.

　　"Get her into the car and take her to a boutique," he said handing his credit card to this chauffeur.

　　Emma was taken aback by his arrogance and supremacy which irritated her.

　　"Excuse me, is that the best thing to do?" She looked at the stranger's face trying to maintain strong eye contact which isn't really working because his eyes were so intense, she felt like she was looking into his soul

　　He wasn't expecting that response at all, he thought she would be excited about it. "That's what most ladies craved for," He said nonchalantly.

　　"Well I'm not most ladies," She said and removed her broken heels, she walked away from the man and his chauffeur, both of them were stunned.

　　"Wow, arrogance at its peak, an apology should've come first, they fucking ruined my dress and my heels got broken for goodness sake" She grumbled

　　She sighted a taxi coming closer to her, she quickly walked towards it, not caring about her ruined dress or broken heels. Her presentation wouldn't let her bother about such things at that moment.

　　"Um, she's fierce" The stranger grinned then, he signaled to his chauffeur to get into the car and they went on with their ride. When he was inside the car, he remembered the lady again, he tried to shake the thoughts away but he couldn't get the fierce lady out of his mind.

　　His inquisitiveness took the best out of him and he asked his chauffeur about the fierce beautiful lady since he was with her before him. " Did she tell you her name? He asked his chauffeur Brand who has dedicated his attention to his driving.

　　"No sir, she didn't mention her name" Brand answered surprisingly.

　　"Too bad" He responded, then opened his phone to check his mail.

　　Brand was surprised his boss asked him about the lady.

　　An hour later, Emma, got to her destination and ran to the restroom to clean up the specks of dirt on her dress. On her way out, she met her colleague Debbie, who was her best friend also, they started their friendship from college, they shared the same goal and both are ambitious, this made them inseparable.

　　"What happened to you? Debbie asked worriedly.

　　"Babe I will gist you later. I'm late for my presentation and my boss called me already.

　　"Oh, he asked me about you some minutes ago, you look like a mess babe", Her friend said.

　　"I know, when I am done with the presentation, I'll do the needful, but for now, there's no time for that. See you later babe".

　　She left her friend and walked towards the presentation room, praying to God to help because the deal meant a lot to her and to her boss too, and she must finalize it else her boss would be furious, and disappointed in her

　　She entered the room and all eyes were on her. She looked up and got the shock of her life when she saw the good looking stranger who she encountered an hour ago, sitting confidently on the reserved seat, that was meant for the lead sponsor of the deal she was about to seal.

　　She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at the name tag which was in front of the handsome stranger and saw his name boldly written on it, 'Kieran Jones'.
