Several days had passed Richard had been acting wierd since the first day . His wired act was shown specifically when Ross and Emma were seen together have a good time or fooling around other than the office time. He was getting attached to Emma as they were working together and were spending a lot of time together. So his behaviour was justified if he would have accepted to himself about his feelings for Emma but his ego never let that happen. It was Ross who finally decided to tell Emma how he had fallen for her and how he always used to adore her. And confess his feelings for her one day, so he was practicing his whole speech in the conference room when Richard and Kathie entered the conference room and caught him.
"Ahhhmmm!! Someone is planning on getting a lady luck in his life, I guess??" Kathie said in an mocking voice. While Richard was shocked and anxious to know what Ross was about to do. But he beamed at Kathie and Ross hiding his true feelings and said.
" Wish you luck, with your aim brother. Hope you get what you deserve. " He added looking at him with a very peculiar look. He suddenly walked out fo the room pretending to get a call.
" I need to stop this man from proposing to Emma. He cannot do that. It's me who is suppose to be doing this. I met her first my feelings are real. Emma cannot get hurt by this moron." Richard was talking to himself as he was upset of knowing about Ross's move for tonight. He thought of telling Emma about what Ross was planning on doing on the dinner tonight. So he went to Emma's cabin and knocked and asked.
" May I come in, if you are not busy with anything?"
Emma looked up at Richard in an alluring way . " Yes please Mr. Williams get in. I am all free and was planning to go back home. I have to go out for dinner with Ross tonight."
"Yes I heard about that from Ross. You both seem to be a lot excited about that. But are you aware about Ross's move for tonight?" Richard said in an suspecious manner.
" No. What is it? Something inappropriate you think? Please tell me." Emma was a bit uncomfortable now. Looking at Emma's reaction he felt that if he would tell her about the proposal plan of Ross then she could even cancel the dinner for tonight or kick him out of the company. So he told her.
"Ross has had a crush on you since the beginning. And now he is planning to propose you tonight while being on dinner."
Hearing to this Emma's face turned red as she was feeling shy thinking about all the things that were about to happen tonight. She wanted to confirm once again so she said.
"Really he's going to do this tonight? What else did he tell you? Please don't tell him that I know about his plans." Richard was shocked to see Emma being excited about the proposal form Ross. " Okay! Don't you worry . I won't let him know about this." Richard said in a low voice and left Emma's cabin.
As Richard left, Emma sat back quietly and started imagining about what exactly would happen, what Ross would say and how she would be reacting to his words. This left a smile on her face. Emma left for home early after informing Kathie to not wait for her tonight as she would be late. Kathie noticed a new level of excitement on Emma's face. She noticed genuine happiness in her smile. She felt good to see her friend happy after such a long time. It was before her parent's death that changed Emma completely. It was like she had forgotten to be happy . She was busy in planning to ruin the life of the murderers of her parents. But finally she was setting up her mind beyond her revenge. She was starting to develop a soft corner in her heart for someone.
Ross came up to Kathie to ask for a leave earlier than the regular time. She asked him to sit as she wanted to talk to him about something related to her bestfriend Emma. Ross came in and sat down in front of her.
" You know I and Emma are best friends and I have seen her in all her phases. It has been a really long time since I have seen her smiling and happy in such a genuine way. So please it's a request to you don't ever hurt her knowingly or unknowingly." Kathie said in a really serious and low voice.
" Don't you worry about anything thing I will never be the reason for Emma's sadness and won't ever let enything wrong happen to her that would hurt her." Ross said in an appealing manner to Kathie.
