You Can't Escape from Me

" Yay! I can't believe you are going to work with Jason Blake Williams! Congratulations Lilly! I am so happy for you. Everyone will be so jealous! "

" Congratulations Liliana my dear. "

" Congratulations Ms. Green, you have got an amazing opportunity, now your career will be on the rise. "

Mr. Scott congratulated Liliana along with the other two. Liliana sighed hearing all congratulating her, she couldn’t muster up the courage to look directly in their eyes.

" Mr. Jones, Mr. Scott I am very thankful towards you both, that you both considered me for this opportunity, and I know it's a great opportunity for my advancement in my career- "

" Yes, and that's why you should grasp it Ms. Greens, also I am announcing that Mr. Williams has also promised to invest a huge sum in the 'University Program for Poor and Underprivileged Students', that will ensure to provide high quality education and world class infrastructure which is very beneficial for the development of our university. "

" Oh! That's so nice of Mr. Williams. He already invested so much in our university research project's. Now, only thanks to you my dear, he is investing more in our university development projects. "

" What are you saying Mr. Jones? I could not decipher it? "

Liliana questioned while her eyes widened in surprise.

'How is it possible? he really doesn't plan on backing now and I can't seem to have my ways to turn back again.'

" Yes Liliana, do you remember in the project you made regarding the further development of university, other opportunities for the underprivileged students. The presentation you made on this was quite impressive. Mr. Scott was also very impressed by it hence, we later showed it to Mr. Williams, and do you know how he reacted? "

Mr. Jones asked happily to Liliana who was frozen on the spot.

'If I remember correctly, this project was part of the annual assignments that I submitted regarding the scholarships, and I am sure he found out about me back then, which means,

he was monitoring me all along the past 6 months.'

The realization was too frightening for Liliana that she broke out in a cold sweat.

" He didn't look quite pleased with the presentation at first but suddenly he asked if a student made it. When we told him the entire thing he seemed to be pleased and also asked if we had your presentation video. He was very much interested and agreed almost the instant he saw your plans. He really is impressed by your professional etiquettes. When we asked if he could guide our students he agreed and asked you to be his assistant so you can get a better understanding of the business world and make our college proud. "

Mr. Jones looked like he was so proud of her daughter's achievements at such a young age and was dreaming about her bright future only if he knew he was pushing her back in the darkness she escaped from.

It was first time ever that Blake had a good night's sleep without being bothered, not because of the meeting that went successful with his international clients, but because of the little girl who was glaring at him with her red puffed cheeks and wide eyes, when he suggested her to be his assistant.

The way she looked at him he knew for sure that she was fuming with anger inside and was ready to burst if not for the others present in the room. It's not that he didn't like it when she kept glaring at him quietly and was finding excuses to deny his so called ‘GREAT - CAREER - OPPORTUNITY’.

But of course, if she could deny it that easily, was he worth to be called the so - called Business Tycoon!

Will he live up to his Fame?

Nah!

He already had considered all sorts of ways she could or could not think of to escape and now,

'You can't escape me now, not this time princess.'

A small smile crept on his face remembering her puffed up red face and glaring eyes shooting daggers in his back.
