Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Deal Fulfilled

Emy woke up the next day with her mobile phone ringing. Reed, who was sleeping close to Emy, also awoke. He fell asleep while glancing at the girl.

“What happened? What’s that noise?” Reed’s complaint.

Emy fumbled with her mobile phone. Emy moved her foot and accidentally kicked Reed, causing him to fall into the bed. She found it at her foot on the bed.

“Who is calling this? What an early morning nuisance.” Emy said, annoyed.

Annoyed at waking up, she answered it sarcastically. “Hello, who is this?” To her surprise, it was good news. “Are you serious?” Emy asked in shock. She sat on her bed. “Yes. I can go now. Nine in the morning?” Emy looked at the wall clock. It’s only six in the morning. “I will come at nine. Thank you very much, Miss. Yes, please text your address. Thank you!”

Emy could not hide her joy at the good news she had received. She hurriedly folded her bed and picked up the new formal attire she had ironed before going to bed last night. Emy saw her father busy boiling water for their coffee. She immediately hugged him, to his father’s surprise.

Her father noticed she was in a good mood that morning. Emy told her father that she already had a job as her father prepared her breakfast. She went into the bathroom. Her siblings heard her from the kitchen singing inside the bathroom.

.....

Emy’s siblings covered their ears as they sat in the chair. After Emy took a bath, she got dressed and put on make-up. She used light colors only because the weather was hot and she didn’t want her face to be oily. When she came out of the room, she looked at everyone eating at the table with a smile.

“Hey, how do I look? Am I beautiful now?” Emy asked, smiling.

“You’re beautiful, Ate, even if you’re not wearing that and you don’t have make-up.”

“Yes, but Ate is prettier now. She looked like Elsa when we watched it at Bokbok’s house yesterday. ”

“Ah, who is Elsa?” Emy asked.

“She is Anna’s sister. Elsa has the power to make ice with everything she touches. Elsa is beautiful, and she is a Queen.”

“Ah, Elsa is a character in the movie,” Emy said.

Emy sat down next to her father. Her father handed him freshly brewed coffee and bread.

“Maybe Ate will also be Queen-like Elsa because they are the same.”

Emy and their father laughed. “I wish you were an angel, Elijah. When I am the Queen, you are all princes and princesses, and our father is our King. But he can’t rule the kingdom anymore because....” Emy whispered to her siblings. “He’s old.”

Everyone laughed, including their father, who heard what Emy whispered to her siblings. “If my father resigned as King, who is your King, ate?”

Reed chuckled as he stood close behind Emy. “You don’t have to look; I’m right behind you; all you have to do is turn around,” Reed said. But no one hears him.

“Oh, I have to find him,” Emy said, laughing. “But for now, I’m looking for our food daily.”

“Don’t mind your siblings. You can find your King. I am still here for them, which is my obligation.” said Eddie.

“Dad, I don’t have those things in mind yet. Our family is my priority first, okay?” said Emy.

After she ate and prepared everything for her departure, her father took her to the waiting area to board the passenger buses. The caller’s office was nearby, and she would not have to worry about the fare. She could walk it, but because her father did not allow her, he forced her to take the bus.

They hired Emy as a realtor. She was confused about how she got the job without applying, but Emy still went to the office since she needed it badly. As she walked her way, a lady approached her and told her she had beautiful red roses in her bag. Amused, she immediately looked at it and found not only one but three wonderful red roses. One red rose is fine, but now it has become three is scary. She headed to the office as quickly as she could.

Emy listened to the seminar for a few hours so that she could become familiarized with the designs of the house they would sell. Everything she could memorize, she wrote on a piece of paper that she even picked up on top of their Manager’s desk.

Other agents were standing at the information desk when a handsome man entered their office. He is tall and has smooth skin. He wears a formal suit and looks fragrant. Emy’s two colleagues immediately approached the man. Emy looked at him and immediately averted her eyes when she saw him staring at her. She left everyone in the lobby.

Emy practiced what she would say to her first future client. She confidently uttered everything she knew; even though Emy knew no one was listening to her, she was wrong.

“I’m impressed.”

Emy felt a warm breath pressed against her ear. She turned around, and it surprised her that a man was almost close to her without her being aware. Emy grabbed the man’s shoulders in shock. One of his hands was holding her back.

The man grinned. “Hmmm, it’s too early for this position, but I like this.”

Emy looked down, noticing that their lower half was touching. She could field the bulge inside his pants. It seemed huge. Emy quickly let go of her hands on the man and pushed him slightly away.

“S-sir, what are you doing here?” said Emy. She couldn’t hide the blush on her face because of what had happened.

Before the man could answer, their Manager came in and talked to Emy. She pulled her away.

“Why are you giving him to me?” said Emy.

“He doesn’t want the two agents. You’re the one he wants to talk to.” the Manager said.

They barely peeked at the man standing nearby, both hands tucked into his pants pocket and looking at them.

“He isn’t a pervert?” Emy asked.

“Even if he is, it’s okay. He is so handsome; you’re not at a loss.” the Manager said and laughed. “Do your best. He’s a good start for you.” the Manager said.

“I’ll take care of him, Miss. I will do everything to get him to buy our unit,” said Emy.

“That’s the spirit. Fighting!” the Manager said.

Emy nodded and then smiled. They approached the man, and the Manager introduced Emy to the man.

“Mister Reed, this is Emilu Briones. She will be your agent for the tour. Emy, this is Reed Greyson, your first client.” the Manager said.

Emy smiled but was still embarrassed as she looked at Reed. The man smiled at Emy’s reaction. In a few moments, the Manager left them. Emy looked at the man. He has a perfect face you will mistakenly think of as a model. By his look, you can tell he came from a wealthy family.

Emy did her duty as a real estate agent. She showed him the best houses, from the most expensive to the least costly, explained every detail, and told him everything he needed to know or that might interest him, but none of them worked.

“This one is a 2,300 square foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom house. The garden has a marvelous view and enough space for a pool and kids to run outside. The location was perfect because it was near the church and the mall. There are also schools around for your children.” said Emy.

“Do I look like I already have a wife and a child?” Reed asked.

Emy was stunned for a moment. ‘Shit, is this handsome man single?’

“But if you will be my wife and willing to have my child, why not?” Reed said, smiling.

“Sir, I am selling the house, not myself. I have already mentioned all the offers you will like,” said Emy.

This guy might have the most angelic face, but he is the most annoying person Emy has ever met. He had no other reaction to what she said. He just smiled, staring at her as she spoke.

“I don’t need such a big house. I already have a big castle, so why should I buy a house?” Reed asked.

“You have no plans to buy the unit? Are you a scammer or playing a prank on me?” said Emy.

Emy was about to give up and pass him on to another agent to assist him when Reed grabbed her by her wrist and pulled her closer to his body. Reed brought his face close to Emy’s ear, and Emy felt his warm breath, which gave her goosebumps.

“Our deal has been done, and it was my time to get what you offered to our agreement,” Reed whispered.

It was as if someone had poured cold water on Emy.
