Emma POV
On the night of the party Mr. Johan Smith hosted, I didn't want to come. I was worried after getting what I thought was an inappropriate message from Nathan two days ago. Nathan said that I was so hot. What did he mean? Does he want to flirt with me, or is he just trying to get dirty?
Unfortunately, although I planned not to come, Barak and Luna picked me up to attend the event. As a result, I couldn't refuse.
"Show me your smile, Emma!" Luna warned me as we were about to enter the grounds of Johan Smith's mansion.
I grimaced, trying to smile. I'm not the kind of person who likes to fake my expressions. And I thought I knew enough about how to behave properly.
When I entered Johan Smith's luxurious residence, I was no stranger to this kind of luxury. My ex-husband was also a wealthy man. I saw guests wearing branded clothes that I knew by heart.
While heading to the garden area, I accidentally saw Nathan wearing a black suit. He was talking to some girls. He was popular because the girls looked like they were flirting with Nathan.
Nathan's gaze was fixed on me. I felt so embarrassed for some reason that I turned my face the other way. I didn't realize someone else was in front of me, so I bumped into him.
"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to..." It was a shame because I was looking at a figure I never wanted to see again. I couldn't keep my lips shut because I was so surprised. "Ro-Robert?"
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Robert. It was more like a deep pain to see the man who had betrayed our marriage.
"We meet again, Emma," Robert smirked. He didn't seem to feel sorry for me at all.
I looked around. I didn't want anyone to know that we were an ex-couple.
"What are you here for, Robert? Aren't we separated?" I tried to keep my distance from Robert. I was angry with him.
"Easy, Baby. I can go wherever I want. I don't need your permission," Robert said.
I thought I was wrong for coming to this event. I had only intended to participate in the activities in this area, but this had become my grave.
"Emma." A woman's voice rang clearly in my ears.
I closed my eyes. My heart ached even more when I heard that voice. I didn't want to turn my head, but the situation forced me to.
"Apparently, you're here. I'd better go," I said. The woman who came was Wilma, my best friend and someone who had betrayed me.
"Why do you have that expression when you see me?" asked Wilma. She was wearing the most expensive dress I'd ever owned. I hadn't brought any of the things Robert had given me, and apparently, Robert had given Wilma my costly dresses. How pathetic.
I didn't want to respond to Wilma. To me, she didn't exist.
"Hello, everybody." A middle-aged man in very elegant clothes. His style was elegant and showed great charisma. Just one look, and I knew who he was because his face looked so much like Nathan Smith.
"Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Smith," Robert said to Mr. Johan Smith.
"Of course, I had to invite you, Robert. You are one of my favorite business partners," Mr. Johan Smith greeted.
I was at a loss for words when I saw Robert's familiarity with Mr. Johan Smith. Robert even introduced Wilma as his future wife in front of me without guilt.
"I really don't understand how Robert can behave like that!" Luna whispered in a low voice near me. I grasped Luna's hand as a code for her not to say anything. I didn't want people to know I was Robert's ex-wife.
After welcoming Robert and Wilma, Mr. Johan Smith noticed my presence. He looked at me as if he was staring at a stranger. So, I immediately introduced myself.
"Hello, Mr. Johan Smith. I am Emma Wilson. I just moved in next door a few days ago." I tried to look confident in front of Mr. Johan Smith.
Mr. Johan Smith smiled at me. I thought he wouldn't care about me being at this party.
"You are so beautiful, Miss Wilson. I am so pleased to meet you," greeted Mr. Johan Smith.
"Nice to meet you too, Sir. I hope I'm welcome at the party and in the neighborhood," I was really nervous now.
"Of course. You are certainly welcome here, Beautiful," Mr. Johan Smith said as he looked at me intently.
For some reason, I found that gaze strange. Mr. Johan Smith didn't even let go of his hand shaking mine. I felt awkward because people were looking at us.
"She is my lecturer, Dad." Suddenly, Nathan arrived. He grabbed Mr. Johan Smith's hand and subtly made his hand stop holding mine.
Nathan glanced at me, and for a moment, he helped me.
"She's your lecturer?" Mr. Jonas was surprised. "You're too beautiful as a lecturer. I'm sure your students will love you."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Smith. I've only been teaching for a few days. I still need to do many things to the best of my ability."
It was a great party. But I felt lonely. Especially when I saw Robert and Wilma, who were so happy together. I've been trying to accept all this for a year.
People were enjoying the party in the garden, while I secluded myself by the swimming pool, which was quiet. I sat clutching my wine glass.
"Why don't you mingle with the others?" Suddenly, Nathan walked up to me. He sat next to me with no sense of sophistication at all.
"I don't really like parties like this. I just came because I wanted to socialize," I replied.
"So, you're the introverted type, my beautiful lecturer," Nathan said, words that made me blush.
"Why are you always teasing me, Nathan. I'm your lecturer. Please respect me." I tried to ask Nathan for understanding in a gentle way.
To my surprise, Nathan wrapped his arms around my waist. It's so inappropriate. What if someone saw us.
"I told you that you're so hot. Don't you realize I'm attracted to you, Miss Wilson?" Nathan whispered in my ear.
I felt something coursing through my veins. Nathan's voice was like a breeze that made me feel comfortable. I'd never been like this before, not even to my ex-husband.
Nathan and I looked at each other. The moonlight shone on his face so I could look at him freely. He was so charming and attractive. I had to admit it; he was giving me vibes.
"What do you want?" I asked Nathan. I want to know.
"I want you, Miss Wilson. Be mine."
And Nathan kissed me intensely on my lips.
