[So, all your nonsense was to employ her. Lame.]
'Thank you for the compliment. But can I trust her?' Emma doubt.
[For you to come to her first meant you have a bit of trust in her. It may not be complete trust, but at least to a reasonable extent. Besides, according to her body language. She's not someone that something would easily move. I mean a materialistic person. If she had been. I would have asked you to run.]
'That's good to hear.'
[But you have to watch her 24/7. Nothing is static forever.]
'That I know.'
"Why did you want me to work for you," Amanda asked.
She didn't see any reason why Emma would choose her to work for him in his new startup company. She didn't have any prior experience in company management.
"Because you're someone I could trust."
Amanda squinted her gaze. "Really?"
"Yep" Emma nodded.
"But I don't believe that?" Amanda looked at Emma seriously. "We don't know each other much. So how can you say you trust me?. Unless you're stupid or what?"
"First, you help me when I'm on the verge of death. Second, you're not someone that is moved by materialistic things. Third, you cherish trust a lot because of your past. But you don't trust anybody."
Amanda inhaled. She looked at Emma without blinking. "It seems you've done your research on me quite well." She raised her brow. "Are you stalking me?"
"Why would I do that? You've said yourself. I did a little research on my new manager." Emma said casually, taking another drink. Emma clears his throat. "What's your decision?"
Lost in thought, Amanda was quiet for some time. She weighed the pros and cons of the situation. Shortly, she exhaled. "Is it legitimate?" She squinted her eyes.
"Of course. Everything is legitimate. I'm into tech, not some black whatever…"
"What is my job?"
"C.E.O. You're the face of the company. The public will only know you. But when it is time for the company to know the owner, then I will present myself. So you have nothing to fear. Besides, I know you still want your revenge. With this, you can finally have the chance." Emma brought out his Elementor S1 phone and watched something on it.
'When did the stupid and ignorant fatty turned into this? This scary. How much did he know about me?' She thought in shock. Everything was just like a dream to her. The sudden transformation of Emma's physique to his confidence and his intellect astonished her.
Hmm!
"What?" Amanda puzzled.
Emma looked at her. "What your decision."
"I agree. But I don't have any managerial skill of running a company."
"That won't be a problem. All I need you is your trust. Can I have that from you?"
"Absolutely. I won't ever betray your trust." Amanda answered firmly.
"Good!" Emma nodded. "For your monthly salary. I will pay you $10, 000"
What!
Amanda had her jaw dropped. Her mouth formed 0. Her brain stopped working for a couple of seconds before it picked up again. Shortly, she recovered from the shock and took a deep breath. She looked at Emma astonish. She opened her mouth to talk, but closed it and sighed.
'Let hope everything plays out fine.'
Emma stood up, putting on his hood over his head. He looked at Amanda without saying a word. Shortly, a notification sounded from Amanda's phone. She picked up her phone and looked at the message. After a couple of seconds. She looked at Emma without knowing what to say.
"I believe you understand the message," Emma asked.
Amanda stood up and nodded.
Emma and Amanda were strolling in the middle of the street with a slight smile on his face. While Amanda was still trying to digest everything that just happened in the restaurant. Lost in their reverie, a sudden shout brought them back to the land of the living. Emma looked at the person who shouted, and instantly, his emotion was in turmoil.
Three men dressed in black baggy 3 quarter jeans and sleeveless top. Their body contained various types of tattoos. The notable tattoo on their body was the drawing of a snake. Viper.
The tattoo was lifelike with the viper's menacing fangs outside. This gave the three men an intimidating appearance.
"Who the fuck are you. Why are you walking with my woman?" The man in the middle shouted.
[Your brain is sending various pulses. Why are the three men affecting you this much with just their presence alone?]
'They are the ones that wanted to kill me.' Emma replied in his head. But he knew better. The last Emma was killed and the last bit of consciousness hiding at the dept of his soul sprung out to life when he saw those that kill him. Thus, affecting his emotions. Emma inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm his raging nerve.
"Who is your woman." Amanda retorted. She looked at the three from the viper gang in disdain. "I can never date someone like you. Get out of my way." She shouted.
Furious, the three men's eyes turned bloodshot. Their eyes moved from Amanda to Emma.
"it is because of you." The third man pointed to Emma. "I'm going to teach you a lesson not to covet our leader's woman again." The third man named Booth approached with his pupil dilated.
"Bell, tell your man to go back." Amanda panicked.
Seeing Booth approaching him, Emma didn't flinch a bit. He stood like a frozen pole without uttering a word or make any move to escape from Booth.
[Base on his movement. He's going to attack your face. Sidestep to the back by half a foot punched his jaw.]
Also, in the sky, there was a drone capturing all the events. Zeus had mapped every likely escape route of the three men. Every member of the viper gang had been marked.
Meanwhile, many people were receiving a notification from their Link with a mission kill on sight with three knives cut. The picture of the three men obstructing Emma was displayed. Instantly, over 200 links had accepted the mission, rushing toward the location.
'3 minutes for the enemy to be destroyed.' Zeus's monotone voice came from the earpiece.
Hearing this, Emma's expression did not change. He set his gaze on Booth. Booth sneered and punched Emma in the face. Just like Lily predicted. Emma moved back by half a foot, evading the punch with ease while Emma did not dillydally. He punched the stupefied Booth on the jaw.
Ah!!
Booth cried in pain, blood coming out from his mouth while the turn of events shocked all the people in the surrounding.
[Don't let him rest. Control your strength and punch his nose and finish him with an uppercut.]
Giving him no chance to regain his bearing, Emma closed the short distance between him and Booth instantly. Emma attacks Booth's nose with a punch. Booth looked at the incoming punched in horror. Bam!
Ah!!!
Booth's nose was broken, blood gushing out of his nose. He staggered backward, trying to regain his footing. However, Emma did not let him rest. Before Booth knew what was happening. He's faced with another punch. This time, it was the deadly uppercut.
[Finishing!]
Bam!
Ah!!!
