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.

'WHEN DID HE BECOME SO NICE?'

"Here." The man pointed at the the first case on the file.

"So you mean that we should recruit new employees??" Jennifer asked somewhat puzzled. There was already scarcity of eligible people for business in Versailles. How were they going to recruit more and from where?

Emmett shook his head in a 'NO' gesture. But he didn't say anything and let Jennifer think.

After thinking for a while, Jennifer suddenly got an idea.

"Why don't we just ask our colleagues to work more. They have already been given tasks for their respective courses, but we usually take two courses which we can perform best in. So let's ask them to help in the other too. They can work in their respective departments and then for some time, they can help in the other ones. What do you think? Wouldn't it solve our first problem?" Jennifer told him everything excitedly.

"That would do." Even though Emmett didn't smile nor showed any reaction on his face and kept his expressions neutral, his eyes held some praises for Jennifer.

"Let's go down then." Jennifer suggested, but soon a grumbling sound came.

Jennifer was embarrassed. She covered her stomach with her hands and gave Emmett a pitiful glance. She laughed awkwardly.

"Eat and then come out. I will be waiting for you in the lobby outside." Emmett knew that Ava had given Jennifer the lunch, as he was the one who had asked for it from the hotel and Ava had got the credit.

'When did he become so nice?' Jennifer was surprised.

But all her thoughts vanished when the man opened his mouth, "Shouldn't have been hiding during the lunch."

Jennifer gritted her teeth in anger.

It was because of him that she was unwilling to eat her lunch in the hotel.

Jennifer finished her lunch given by Ava in ten minutes and came out to look for Emmett. He was leisurely sitting on a sofa in the lobby. When the man saw her, he got up and went towards the elevator.

Jennifer followed him in.

They both then went down for inspection. They first went to look at Research and Development (R&D) department. Ava was the one of the students assigned to help at this department.

The employees here were pretty humble and greeted Emmett and Jennifer whenever they passed by.

Jennifer didn't miss those glances given by several lady workers towards Emmett. Due to his cold aura, they didn't dare to meet his eyes, but stole few glances at him and smiled shyly. Their eyes would sparkle whenever they saw him passing by them. But when they saw her walking alongside him, they glared at her hatefully.

Jennifer didn't know why, but the women looked like an eyesore to her. Maybe she thought that she hated their bashfulness and at how they stole secretive glances at Emmett.

She even looked worse than those females in her makeup, then why did they give her those stares?

She was deep in thought. After a while she understood, they must be jealous that she was able to walk beside him.

Women were really scary when they are jealous. Jennifer had experienced these things in the past.

Hence she ignored them and continued walking without sparing them a glance.

The men who worked there also stole some glances towards Emmett and tried to copy his aura, but looked very terrible. As their gaze shifted towards Jennifer, they wanted nothing but vomit their guts out.

Was this a fashion show?

Or were some agency collaborating with them?

What a contrast!!

It was like the beauty and the beast. But here the man was the beauty and the girl was the beast.

In some cases, men and women brain works out differently. Here men thought it to be a advertisement collaboration, while female were trying to impress Emmett through their looks.

It was a total confusion!!

Jennifer looked sideways at the man, wondering what could make him catch this much of an attention. Even though he looked very handsome, she harrumphed coldly in her mind,

'What is so great about this man, hmph!!'

As they entered the R&D department, they were greeted with Ava's cheerful face.

She came running towards Jennifer, as soon as she saw her.

Hey friends!!

There is going to be a great show when Jennifer's real face is exposed in front of everyone.

And there is a little action scenes in the upcoming chapters.
