CHAPTER 119 :JEALOUSY
After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA’S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him.
“We got the deal Judy. ” he told her with a smile.
Judy gave a false smile.
“Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I’ll be present at the event. ” Gideon hinted.
“Yes sir. ” Judy replied and walked out of his office.
Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn’t wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her.
Immediately Gideon left Emma’s office, she got a phone call from the museum management.
“Of course I’ll be there sir. ” she promised her caller and drove home.
Emma stood in front of her standing mirror trying different outfits on her.
“Finally. ” she said examining the long fitted red dress she held in front of the mirror. The dress had a slit on the left side down to her leg.
“You look gorgeous. ” commented Pearl after she walked downstairs dressed in the long beautiful red grown. Her shoulders were bare and an expensive gold pendant was around her neck. She wore a black velvet heels and a black purse to match. The slit by the left side of her dress was perfect exposing her left thigh.
In his room, Gideon was getting ready. He wore a black suit with a red tie. He had a hair cut that afternoon and Frankie barely recognized him when he stepped downstairs from his room.
“You look clean sir. ” commented Frankie.
“Thank You. ” Gideon replied with a smile and asked him to get the driver.
It was 7pm and guests were already trouping into the New York main museum. The guests comprise of high profile individuals and business moguls. Emma was already seated in the front row.
When Gideon arrived, the event had already begun and his bar tendants in thier neat uniforms were discharging thier duties efficiently. Gideon was pleased and and he sat.
“Ladies and Gentleman. ” began a man who climbed the stage of the museum hall where the event was holding. He was neatly dressed in a blue suit and was about fifty years of age. He was hitting his glass with a fork and the crowds attention was fixed on him.
“I welcome you all to this years Aannual Museum festival. ” he said and there was a round of applause.
“Thank you all for honoring this invitation. Our tour guides are all over the place. ” he said pointing to some people in brown uniforms.
“They will take you through various sections of the museum and will answer your questions. Feel free to explore this place and I bet you guys can’t wait to sew the new artifacts we’ve collected in the last year. ” he said.
“Before I step down. ” he continued.
“I will like to appreciate the main sponsor of today’s event. She had shown her commitment towards the promotion of art and I must say I was impressed when she declared her interest to sponsor this years event. ” he said with a smile.
“Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you Miss Emmalia. The C. E. O of LIA’S bars. ” announced the host.
“What the hell? blurted Gideon from his seat behind.
Emma stood up and made her way to the stage. The man quickly went towards her and offered her his right hand. She took it and climbed the stage as the crowd kept clapping and cheering.
Gidoen couldn’t believe his eyes. Emma was looking like a goddess on the stage. He kept admiring her in his mind.
“That woman is as hot as hell. ” commented the man seated next to Gideon.
“Hey! ” the man continued touching Gideon’s arm.
“I heard she’s single. I’ll try my luck tonight and maybe I’ll get her in my bed tonight. ” the man declared and winked.
“Shut the fuck up.” Gideon screamed at him so much so that the man was frightened.
Emma waved and bowed before the guest. The crowd clapped and she stepped down with a smile.
Few minutes later, the place became busy. The museum tour guides were showing the people around. Gideon’s bar tendants were serving the people courteously and he kept moving around observing them.
Emma was talking with the host and some group of people close to the stage. When Gideon looked around, he didn’t see her. He was pressed so he decided to locate the rest room. When Gideon came out of the male toilet, he collided with Emma walking out of the female toilet.
She smiled at him briefly and he nodded. When she turned to leave, Gidoen noticed that her hair was caught in the zip of her dress.
“Hold on. ” he told her and she stood still.
She slowly turned around.
“Your hair is locked in your zip. ” he told her pointing at her back.
“Oh my God. ” she replied and tried to turned around but it was impossible for her to see the zip behind.
“I can help you if you don’t mind. ” Gideon offered.
“Okay. replied Emma. ” after a brief silence.
She turned around and Gideon walked to her. Her heart began to race faster and when Gideon’s hand touched the zip of her dress, she felt warm and shut her eyes.
He slowly opened the zip leaning behind her. Emma could feel his breath on her neck and Gideon felt the desire to kiss her neck the way he always did.
She was slightly shaking and Gideon slowly detached her hair from the zip. He zipped back her dress and she quickly turned around.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thank you. ” she said and ran out immediately.
Gideon smiled and followed her down to the museum hall. When he got there, he sighted Emma talking and giggling with the man who sat close to him earlier. The man who was lusting after her earlier before him. Gideon kept staring at them, he was jealous he won’t deny it. Emma used to laugh at his jokes. Before he knew it, he began approaching them, when he got to where they stood he placed his hands around Emma’s waist in a possessive manner. Emma tensed at this, somehow she knew it was Gideon’s hands wrapped around her waist and the surprising thing was that she didn’t push him away. The man whom Emma had been speaking to recognized Gideon from earlier on as the man who had shouted at him when he made a sexual comment towards Emma. Without being told, he gave a somewhat frightened smile to Emma’s walked away.
