How it all started, for her.

9:58 a.m. Emily Song was running down the street. Work started in 2 minutes, but work was across the street. 9:59 a.m. At this point she had no reason to not run. She ran as fast as she could. Cross walk, the light turned green, Emily was in the middle of the cross walk. She thought in her head, "This is it, I'm done for!" But thank the Lord alleluia, a man grabbed her tightly and saved her life. Emily looked up at the young man and said, "T-thank you...!" He let go of her hand and walked away. A card dropped from his pocket. Emily picked it up and waved then said, "Excuse me sir you dropped this!" The young man didn't look back and was too far ahead. Young Emily looked at the card. Aaron Brooks? The card looked very...well...business-y. As she read it in her head it said, "Aaron Brooks. Young Master. Aaron Brooks is looking for a wife. If you think you can help call..55-702-41930" "Arranged marriage?!" Young Emily said in her head. She laughed and smiled. But that smile turned upside down. "W-Work, IM LATE!!!!" "IM SO FIRED!!" Emily screamed and opened the door to her work. 10:03 a.m. Young Emily got in without her boss seeing her. As she logged on the her computer the boss walked in to her office room. Young Emily clicked on an email, pretending that she had been here for a while. Her boss said, "Where were you I checked on you at 10:00!" Young Emily thought of an excuse, while sweat came down her cheek. "I was..I was getting coffee!" Young Emily said. The boss looked like she had just been lied to. "I finished it though, and threw it in the cafe trash can!" Young Emily said. Her boss rolled her eyes and smiled. Her boss walked out of her office. Her sweat stopped dripping and she smiled and put her head in the desk. 3:27 p.m. Emily was able to leave work and go home. On the way home she couldn't stop thinking of that young man, or Aaron, who saved her life. She automatically loved him. She wanted him so bad. Her mind clicked. The business card! She grabbed the business card out of her pocket. "55-702-41930", Young Emily said while dialing the number. A man picked up on the phone. After a while it was done, Emily was getting married to him. She hung up. Then she was silent. What had she just done?! She just met him, not even fully and she's getting married in 2 months!? How is he supposed to react to this, how will she do this? How does she know she did the right thing..? She should have stopped..
