Chapter 30. What if I Change?

Shimma’s POV

“Shimma,” I heard Mr. Mattias call to me. “You’re the only one my heart beats for. I know it’s weird that I fell in love with my best friend’s daughter, but…” He paused, turning to the door as it swung open. The lady with ginger hair walked in, her eyes landing on me.

With her arms folded, she advanced toward me and Mr. Mattias. “Who is she?” she asked, her eyes running from my head to my toes.

“What are you doing here? I thought I asked you to leave?” Mr. Mattias said.

“I’m not going anywhere, Mattias. I believe we have a lot to talk about,” she replied, turning to eye me again. I said nothing, even if I wanted to.

“Emily, leave this office before I call security on you,” Mr. Mattias said, his tone firm. Yet, the so-called Emily didn’t even flinch. It was as though she knew he wouldn’t do anything.

Just when I was about to feel relieved by Mr. Mattias’s assuring words, here she was again, standing so confidently. Shit!
