Emilia Green

                                    

                                          
When me and Olivia entered the place it was totally empty. Only one guy was sitting on a table. His back was facing us.   He was so tall. Even after sitting on a chair he was still taller than us. Black hair. He had a dark green color golf polo shirt and a black pant on. His black coat was resting on the chair beside him. A Rolex on his left hand. Those long fingers of him were holding his iPad's pencil. Olivia quickly walked towards him with a bright smile on her face full of confidence. I just love this girl so much. She knows how to handle situations and make everything comfortable. If she wasn't with me I would've done something weird out of my social anxiety. "Good afternoon Mr. William. Hope we Didn't make you wait for long". "Good afternoon. Oh of course not. I just came a while ago". As they shook hands I took a deep breath, went towards the table put my bag on the chair and greeted him with soft smile. WAIT... those green eyes. That scar on his left cheek. I know him. Benjamin William. 
"Good afternoon Mrs. Green. It's finally good to see you" he said giving his hand for a shake. "Me too Mr. William" my smile widened as I took his hand. "Why there is no customer today?" Olivia barked from my right side. "I booked the whole place so we can have a comfortable lunch". Olivia's jaw dropped. My eyes got widened. "You did what?" I said. He gave me a sweet soft smile and said "I know you don't like crowded places. Me neither". I was seriously out of words. "I didn't see you at the get together last night". "Oh that. I really wanted to come but couldn't make it in time. My plan landed here at 5 in the morning". Oli's side eyes were making me uncomfortable. It's so hard to hold laughter. "You could've given me a call or come to my place. Why pretended to be a client?" "Because I am and I'm here for my work not to hang out with friends". Before we could jump into our business talk the waiter came and took our orders. He still remembered that I had allergies from alcohol so he ordered a Thomas & Scott sparkling wine. "So.. why did you want to see me?" I asked taking a sip of my wine. It was so sweet. "I saw your collection and absolutely loved it. So it would be an honor if you work with us Mrs. Green. Will you?" "You mean work with La Moda De Luna? Your mom's brand?" "Uhh actually yess. But it'll be mine soon. So you are currently talking with the next CEO of La Moda De Luna". Olivia lightly coughed remembering us that she also exist. "Why me? I mean there are other famous great designers in this world. Besides why a luxury brand like La Moda De Luna wants me to be their fashion designer? It doesn't make sense". "Does everything need to make sense Emilia Green?" My name sounds different in his voice. I can't remember when was the last time he called me  by my full name and we had a normal conversation. "It's you because I chose you. Because I want you. I mean I want you to work with us. I showed your works to mom too and she totally agreed with the idea. So it's actually up to you now. Take your time and think about it. No need to hurry. I hope you'll take a great decision cause this offer will bring mutual benefits". Olivia whispered 'oh my god' loud enough to hear. "Alright. I'll give it a thought". The rest of the conversation was about our college days. Though I don't have any good memories nor any good friends from my college still I appreciate the way he was always around.
"There's nothing to think about. Just say yes it's a great offer" Olivia shouted from the kitchen counter. "I just can't say yes cause it's Benjamin. I need to think". "Why? You're afraid cause you'll have feelings for him and end up falling?" How does she always predict exactly the right thing. Ughhh. "No I'm  afraid that he will have feelings for me and I'll break his heart and everything will be messed up". "Get it together girl. You've already wasted so many opportunities in your life just because of your overthinking shit" she sighed loudly. Well she was absolutely right. But one thing I hate about people is when they roll their eyes at me. I badly wanted to smack her in the face. "Let me discuss it with Matilda". "Do whatever you wanna do but if you say no I'll kill you and vanish your body like you never existed". Well that was a dangerous threat. Oli's phone decreased the silence between us showing her boyfriend's id. Her face instantly lightened up. Without any word she grabbed her things saying one last word "don't forget to say yes" and left. My apartment feels so empty when it's only me. I'm trying to reach Matilda from the past 18 hours but she isn't picking up. I'm afraid did something happen? 
I'm trying to reach Mat for the past 18 hours but she isn't picking up my calls nor any reply to the texts. So I headed straight to her apartment. I opened the door as I knew the password. The whole house was so dark. The lights were off. A heavy smell of alcohol, smoke, dirt, warmness and leather was all over her place. Everything was silent. Suddenly I heard some laughing and giggling. Did she bring a guy? But why at this hour? Even if she did she would've at least replied to my texts. I really couldn't understand anything. Should I check her bedroom or leave? Ok fine I'll just peak from the door and if everything is alright I'll leave. Gathering some courage I headed towards her bedroom door. The door was slightly open. My eyes got widened when I looked inside. The door wide opened and I saw his face properly. Both of their clothes were on the floor. Elias sitting on the bed only with his boxer on. And Matilda was sitting on his lap with her panty on. She looked back in shock hearing my loud gasp. Horror took on both of their face. Both of them were freeze on their place looking at me with wide eyes. "How could you..." before I can even finish my sentence Matilda got up from her place running towards me. Shouting my name, trying to stop me as I ran towards the exit door. "Emi pls try to understand. It's not what you think. Look I.. I can explain" she said licking her lips. "I suggest you to put on some fucking clothes first. then take a breath and think what you've done. And then come to my place with a better excuse or whatever the thing you call explanation because I won't let you go without an explanation that easily". And I left with tears in my eyes. I don't know why am I crying. Maybe because I feel betrayed. Or maybe angry because it should've been me instead of her. I can no longer figure out the feelings I am feeling.
I came home and immediately called Ben. "Yess?" "Good evening Ben. How are you?" "I'm  sorry who is it?" Well, he sounded so serious. I thought he had my number. "It's me Emilia. I thought you have my number".  He chuckled. "Well you've been carrying my number for the past five years and now you remembered to call me. Really surprising". I was totally speechless. He was right. How selfish I am! Shame on me. "Actually Mrs. Green I don't think we have the relationship between us to call each other on our personal number. So I will highly suggest you to call me in my business phone if you've got something to discuss. Thank you". And he cut the phone. Am I dreaming? No I must be dreaming cause this is not the Benjamin that I used to know. (Well how much attention did you even pay to him that you're saying you know him you moron) my inner voice spoke to me and she was right. I dialed his number from his business card and pushed the call button. He picked it up immediately. "Benjamin William speaking".  "Good evening Mr. William. This is Emilia Green. I hope I'm not bothering you". "Oh no please Mrs. Green. I'm glad that you called me. How can I help you?" "I actually gave a thought to your proposal and I would love to accept it. It would be a great honor for me to work with a luxury brand like La Moda de Luna". "That's a great decision. I'm glad that you have accepted our proposal. It will obviously bring mutual benefits. I'll give all the details to my assistant and tell him to prepare the paper work. Let's meet at this weekend". "I'm looking forward to it. Later". "Later". And I cut the phone. My whole body is trembling. I let out a sigh feeling relieved. My palms are sweaty. Heart beating fast. My life is a mess. It has always been
