Emily's Pov.

"We've arrived at the airport master," the driver said and Xavier got out.

Manerless.

Smiling at the driver, I thanked him and followed Xavier.

Looking ahead, we were now standing in front of a jet.....A private jet.

Dang!

"Welcome aboard Mr. And Mrs. Stephano," one of the flight attendants said as we entered the jet.

It was so beautiful inside *picture above*

"Please take a seat and make sure you have on your seat belts. We're about to take off" the captain announced.

I quickly took a seat and wrapped my seat belt around me.

Oh God! I hate planes!

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath as the jet took off.

The jet was now stable in the air and I sigh in relief. Unbuckling my seat belt, I stretch my body and sat there feeling bored.

"Anything you would like to eat Mrs. Stephano?" One of the flight attendants asked and I nodded.

"Can I have a coke and a chicken burger?"

"Sure Mrs. Stephano" she answered showing a polite smile.

"And you can call me Emily"

"Okay, Mrs. Steph---Emily. I'll be back in a few minutes" she said and left.

A few minutes later she came back with my chicken burger and a coke in a tray.

"Thank you," I said politely taking it from her and she smiled at me before going away.

Licking my lips, I picked up my burger and quickly devoured it then gobble down my coke with 4 mouths full.

I was hungry, okay?

Placing my tray away, I lay back in my chair looking at the TV.

Hmm...where's Xavier?

Looking around the jet, I found him sitting on the other side of the jet, typing away on his laptop.

Turning my focus back to the TV, I silently watched and became so bored that I fell asleep.

...

Xavier's Pov.

"Mr. Stephano, can I get you anything?" One of the flight attendants asked.

"Coffee. No sugar, no milk" I answered and she nodded before leaving.

Looking around the jet, I saw Emily taking a big bite of her burger and gobble all her coke down.

Not even close to being ladylike...

Shaking my head, I turned my focus back to my computer.

I put my job in front of everything. I'm a very busy man and don't know what's taking day-offs.

Even though I'm going on our honeymoon, I don't take day-offs.

Well.....it's not actually a honeymoon. I receive a call from one of my employees about something coming up so I decided to fly in after my wedding and hold an urgent meeting and I've decided to take Emily along with me since my dad said we should go on our honeymoon after marrying. I just wanted to get over this honeymoon thing.

"Here's your coffee Mr. Stephano. Just as how you've ordered it. No sugar and no milk" she said and placed it in front of my table.

"You can leave," I said and she nodded before going away.

Taking a sip of my coffee, I went back to work.

_____________________________________________________________

Employee (Josh): Mr. Stephano! I can't find
the files for the meeting that will be held when you're back

Xavier: I don't care, find it. I need it.

Employee(Josh): I kept it in my work file but it was gone
when I opened my file this morning

Xavier: I don't care what you do...
Get my files ready before I'm back
Or....you're fired

Employee(Josh): What? No plea--

Xavier: I've already said What
has to be said, Mr. Charles.....
I'm expecting to see the
file when I'm back

Ugh!

I can't trust anyone with my important stuff!

Sighing in frustration, I looked around the jet and spotted Emily sleeping in her chair.

Is she really sleeping like that?

That's so uncomfortable.

Sighing again, I got up and took her in my arms. Walking towards the bedroom, I lay her down on my bed.

I pulled the duvet over her and took a good look at her face.

She was indeed beautiful and looked so innocent but I don't know if I can trust her yet.

She might be hiding another character underneath her angelic face.

You never know.

Giving her one last glance, I turned around and left.

Looks can be deceiving...
