C2 Accidentally met

“ A surrogate?” She covered her mouth. “ So the interview is about finding a surrogate? Maybe I should do it. I heard the pay can last for a fortune if you find the right person” She thought for a while.

“ But would my Dad likes the idea?” She Clicked her tongue. “ Why would my step mum say?” She pondered. “ I won’t even tell them. I’ll take this Job” Emily turned the handle and pushed the door open.

“ Who are you and what do you want?” The man that spoke last asked Emily who had just barged in to the office. “ I’ll take the job” She said without having another thought.

“ What Job?” The man asked her. “ Of being a surrogate” She blurted. All the time she was speaking, her eyes were on the Man that his back was turned on her. She wanted to see his face.

“ Are you kidding me? Where did you…” Emily interrupted him. “ I’m sorry for eavesdropping but I really need the job” She apologized.

“ I’m sorry but…” He was interrupted again but this time, it wasn’t Emily. It was the man she wanted to see his face.

Emily’s eyes fell on him as he turned around. His face was as beautiful as the morning sun. His hair black, his nose pointed. Emily found herself staring at him. If not that she controlled herself, she would have found her self dribbling saliva.

“ You said you would do it?” He asked her and she nodded her head. “ Are you married?” He sat on the task chair.

“ No” Emily answered, her eyes still fixed on him. “ Where are your parents? You are still young” He said again and she Chuckled.

“ I’m not young” She rolled her eyes. “ Your parents?” The P. A asked her. She turned to him and scanned him from head to toe.

“ What does this have to do with my parents?” She raised a brow. “ We want to do it legally” She Sighed and shook her head.

“ Please just take me, I can do what you want if you can pay me” She pleaded. “ What’s your name?” The P.A asked.

“ My name’s Emily Louis and I’m 24” She said to him. “ Boss, what’s your say?” He asked the Boss.

“ What’s your price?” He asked Emily who was desperately waiting for his response. “ I… I’ve never done this before” She hesitated for a moment. Her Dad’s bills was 2k dollars and that’s the only Money she wants.

“ 2k Dollars” She said and the P. A exchanged glances with his Boss. “ 2k Dollars?” He asked Surprisingly. “ Yes” Emily Answered nervously.

“ Are you sure you can do this? Do you even know what you are going to do?” He asked her.

“ Yes I know. It’s only to carry a baby for nine months” She shrugged her Shoulder. “ 2k Dollars is nothing. I want a healthy baby” He shook his head.

“ I don’t think She can do it” The Boss said and Emily fell on her knees. That was her only chance. If she wants her Dad to get well, she has to do whatever it would take to raise the money.

Her Dad was the best Dad every child could wish to have. He loved her so much and always tried to make her happy. If not for him, Emily wouldn’t have gone to the college.

“ I swear I can do whatever it takes. Is the money too much?” She rubbed her palms together. “ The Money is too small” Said the Boss.

“ Then what are you going to pay? Please help me” She pleaded. He took pity on her and gestured to her to stand on her feet.

“ I’ll pay a million dollars” Emily nearly fell on the floor. She was shocked, never in her life has she seen a Thousand dollars talk more of million dollars.

“ Million do…dollars?” She Stammered. “ Yes, A million Dollars. If you are ready, you can sign the contract now”

“ I’m ready , please bring the Document” She dropped her file on the table Excitedly. “ Here” He brought out a document from the Table drawer and dropped it on the table.

“ Go through the contract first before signing” He requested but Emily didn’t want to waste time on that. “ No need” She picked up a pen from the table and signed it.

“ Done. Now the Money” She said recapping the pen. “ My P. A will go with you and give you the money” He took the Document from the table and put it back inside the drawer.

“ Ron, Take her with you” He said and The P.A bowed his head a little. “ Let’s go, Miss Emily” He said and she picked up her file.

“ Thank you so much Mr., I won’t fail you” She hurried out of the office excitedly. Just as they exited the office, Emily saw the man that directed her to that office.

“ What took you there?” He asked her after bowing to the P. A. “ You told me to go to the left” She was surprised. “ Oh My God, I’m so sorry. I meant to say the right”

“ But…” Ron interrupted her. “ She Came to see the Boss” He waved the Guy away and turned to Emily who was looking so confused.

“ Let’s go” He said and she followed him down the stairs. They went to the underground parking lot, That was Emily’s first time of seeing that in real life. Even the cars there were different. She wondered the kind of Money that man possessed to own all that.

“ Please enter” He opened the front door for her. Emily sat on the seat and he closed the door. “ Wow!” She exclaimed. “ Wait till Dad hears of this…” She paused when he entered the car.
