The Secret Of The Beauty In Black

After that fateful night, everything changed for Jennifer. Gone was the girl who used to smile and laugh along with others, cry in their pain and help them in their need. What remained was only an emotionless vessel who just had one aim in her life: Revenge. -- "No one can control me anymore!! I will live my life as per my wish." She said with hatred in her voice.  .... "Heh...Love is what? The best thing that happened to you?? Tsk..tsk..such a fool. Remember, love is just another name of destruction. The ones who believe in love are all fools. I was also one of them, but not now. I will never fall in love again. Also, don't come crying to me once you face a betrayal." .... "What will it take for you to accept me?"  Jennifer looked at the man as if he had grown two heads!! "Mister I have told this earlier too, I don't want to get into a relationship, so why not stop chasing after me?" .... "Please tell me what should I do to make you mine?" The man pleaded. Annoyed by his questions about the same thing again and again, Jennifer finally replied, "If you can defeat me in a fight, I will think about it."  She was quite confident that no one could defeat her. ------   "You lost...." "No, this can't be true right," murmured Jennifer. She was totally confused and shocked. Never did she think that 'he' would be able to defeat her.  "So what do you want?" She asked with confusion laced in her voice. "Are you sure you will fulfil my wish?" He smiled much to her displeasure. "Yes, I never back down on my words." She spoke back with gritted teeth, showing her displeasure, even though she knew this decision of hers might lead her into something complex. "Marry Me," He demanded. "Wait what?!! But you are gay right?" This was her immediate response to his demand. Who in their sane mind would want to marry a gay? That too with the man with whom she was previously in a fake relationship. He chuckled and slowly bent down near her ear "You will know when you will marry me" he whispered. "You..." ---- Torn between the battle of her brain and heart, Jennifer doesn't know what she should choose?  Should she listen to her brain which was constantly signalling her of the alert or should she follow her heart, which would pound erratically for some handsome 'devil'? Because of her traumatic past, Jennifer had sworn never to fall in love again. To never let her heart skip a beat again for someone. But she fails, terribly; when a certain dashing devil enters into her dark world. Will this devilishly handsome man break the walls of her heart?  Will he be able to help her past her traumas and her insecurities? .... But wait! Who the hell is this man? Well...for that stay tuned and continue to read the story!! *It's a slow burn book, hope you enjoy it.

'IS HE TRYING TO FOOL ME?'

Emmett silently read through the file. Jennifer couldn't decipher anything from his expression.

She felt nervous.

Unsure of herself.

Did she do it correctly?

Why wasn't the man responding?

After reading through the file, Emmett silently kept in down; on the table.

"Explain." The man gazed at her. His gaze was unwavering.

"Huh??" Jennifer looked puzzled.

What should she explain? Can't this man speak? Doesn't he have a mouth?

Should she explain her plan or should she explain why she planned it like that?

Emmett was long used to his assistant, answering him without him explaining in detail. But Jennifer was different, she wasn't close to him, as for now and hence couldn't answer his question.

"Why do you suggest this?" He folded his arms and questions slowly.

"You know that the company is facing financial problems. There are many reasons behind this. First one is less employment of staff. As there is a tough competition in Versailles for staff and this company is new, thus they have minimal staff."

"Second one is that the present staff is not so into the field. There portfolio though match the requirements, but they are not that experienced."

"How did you conclude that?" Emmett interrupted her.

"I had personally checked their portfolio's. They fit the requirements, but do not have the practical knowledge. The basic thing for any field is your practical knowledge. So we can conclude that this is one of the reason, why as to the company faces financial problems. Here...."

Jennifer showed Emmett a particular page, "These are the stocks of the company. They are lower in case of product selling, whereas higher in case of keeping records. It clearly states that there is no practical knowledge in the recruited employees."

"The third reason is the production. The production is quite low for a company this big. The data's provided, states that the production is decreasing, due to less selling of products. The fourth one is that, not a single advertisement company is sponsoring the company's products. These are all the reasons why they are suffering financial losses."

After Jennifer finished explaining, silence enveloped the room. Neither if them spoke. Only their breathing was heard.

Jennifer was a little unsure. She continued to stare at Emmett, but he kept mum.

When she almost couldn't take the heavy weight of the silence and decided to speak, the man beat her in it and spoke, "Very well. This all is true."

"So, where are your ideas?" Jennifer struck her chin high up and questioned him.

"They are the same as yours." The man replied without much change in his expression.

'Ah, the same?'

'Is he trying to fool me?'

'Or is he trying to copy my ideas.' Jennifer's eyes narrowed at this thought.

Seeing that the girl was suspicious, he took our his file and showed her.

Jennifer carefully went through the file and in the end was dumbfounded.

It was literally same.

She did feel a little dejected as his was same as her's. Why did it match though? She didn't want anything same like the devil. It was a bad luck for her. But she was also overjoyed when she thought that she as a newcomer could easily solve the problem.

"So, what do you propose? Where should we start from?" Jennifer shifted back in a comfortable position and spoke.
