4 Chapter 4

"Jeremy, come in 10minutes" His boss called out. He was still lying into his bed. His dream was interrupted. He could not recall what it was, but he felt it was such a nice dream.

He didn't have any chance to reply, his boss already hung up.

He jumped out of bed and in seconds he went out of the door.

He checked his watch as he was sitting inside the cab. It was around 4am in the morning and he was going from his apartment to his boss mansion. It was quite a distance but at this time, traffic was not the problem.

He was able to reach the house. he checked the time, it was already 5am. He was screwed but it was not his fault. He was really far away from his house.

He knocked the door and was greeted immediately by the butler.He was really old but his back was straight back. His suit did not have any wrinkles.

"Sir Jeremy, the master is waiting"

Jeremy entered without saying anything.

"Why are you late?!" the first thing he heard.

He lowered his head, "I'm sorry. My house was quite far, I came as soon as I can" he defended himself.

"My sister is coming back, are you two still together?" he asked outright and did not mind his explanation earlier.

"We have not spoken for a year. " Jeremy said.

"We'll she told me, she does not have any partner for grandfather's 70th birthday and grandfather is not aware of both of your circumstance" his boss said,

"I don't want any problems in the party, Jeremy" he said with deadly look.

He bowed down again, "I'm well aware," he replied.

"I hope you do, if not, I will surely make you regret" he said.

"I am quite aware, sir. But can't I just not attend to prevent any unwarranted event. Press might..." he tried to reason out,

"Press will not dare if they wanted to survive.

Remember, Grandfather choose you, Jeremy. If he did find out, you and my sister might end up in some island until you two bound together again and give him satisfaction in giving a grandson" Mr. Sung said

"I will appreciate your outmost help sir" Jeremy said.

He suddenly remembered how he ended up marrying the most beloved granddaughter of chairman Sung. He might look sweet and harmless, but he was not.

He was the most terrifying person. He could remember the day that he had to break someone.

For the meantime, Sam was busy cleaning the apartment. She did not notice that someone kept calling her. She hummed as loud music bang the entire apartment.

Then the doorbell rang.

she stopped and went immediately to the door. There she saw tall fit man in black suit. They were not wearing black glasses like those in novels.

"Miss Silverbourgh" One of the man called,

"Yes?" she was uncertain to what was their purpose.

"We are here to deliver this dress from Mr. Charles, " he pointed the box handed by his other subordinate.

"Wait. what is this for?" she said and stopped them. She grabbed her phone. She saw 5 miss call from her friend. She pressed the return call.

"Charles, there are guys here saying you wanted me to give a fancy dress" she said as she peeked at the brand name at the box, "A very expensive dress.."

She could hear his chuckle, "Yes, I did. The company is having a party and I wanted for you to accompany me please" He said,

"I don't want to be alone at that boring party" He added.

"A make up artist will be also coming over around 6pm. So do prepare" he laughed out, "But..." she tried to say, "No buts" he added and hung up.

She went quiet. Unable to say anything, she gave out a deep breath. She smiled at them, "Thanks" she said and received the dress.
