They ate their breakfast in silence. No one talked.
After twenty minutes, both had finished their breakfast.
Jennifer looked at Emmett whose movements were fluid as he arranged their dishes after they were done eating.
She had to agree that he looked so hot doing that.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her ringing phone.
She took a look and found that it was her mom calling.
"Sushh!" Jennifer asked Emmett to keep mum by keeping a finger on her lips.
Emmett looked at her pouty lips as she was telling him to keep quiet. His suddenly felt an urge to kiss her, but he controlled his desire.
Through his peripheral view, Emmett looked at her phone screen which displayed three letters 'MOM'.
He smiled looking at it.
It would be good in greeting his future mother-in-law.
Jennifer after asking him to keep mum, picked up her phone and went into the balcony.
"Hello mom?"
"My beautiful princess, when are you coming back home? Your dad's waiting for you. He has to go back tomorrow. Weren't you going to come yesterday, then why aren't you here yet?"
Jennifer sighed. How was she going to explain her mom what had happened yesterday? And also how she had signed a contract and now she was someone's girlfriend.
She was no longer single.
And she was quite sure that if she would tell her mother about her relationship, then she wouldn't even hesitate and would directly take the earliest bus to Versailles.
"Mom something came up so I am late. But don't worry, I will definitely be there till afternoon. I..."
'Thud.'
Jennifer looked behind her and saw that the man had dropped a dish on the floor, which had now broken into pieces.
She furrowed her brows and glanced at him clearly displeased with his carelessness.
But what she didn't know was that the man had deliberately thrown the dish on the floor. He hadn't even pushed it down, but had literally thrown it so that he could gain his future mother-in-law's attention.
And his plan succeeded as he heard Jennifer making excuses about the noise he had created.
"Mom, nothing happened. I was so absorbed in talking with you that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings and ended up breaking a dish.... Don't worry mom I am not hurt. I will just ask the room service to clean it up later. Yes yo....."
"Darling, whom are you speaking with. Why are you taking so long? See because you weren't beside me so I ended up breaking a dish."
With a jerk, Jennifer turned to look at the man with wide eyes only to see a innocent look on his face.
She gritted her teeth in fury, panicking slightly she tried to cover the speakers on her phone so that her mother would not hear anything. But she was late as her mother had heard Emmett's voice clearly.
Jennifer cursed Emmett in her mind.
Now how was she going to explain her mother?
"Ahhhh!! You are with a man!!" Jennifer had to move her phone few inches away because of the loud exclamation from her mother.
"Mom it's not as..."
Mary interrupted her, "He is your boyfriend right? Why didn't you introduce him to me? Hurry up and tell me. What's his name? What work does he do? Is he handsome. Nevermind I myself will come there now."
Jennifer truly panicked when she heard that her mother had a plan to come there in Versailles.
"Mom no wait....let me explain. It's not as you think. I mean how did you assume him to be my boyfriend? He isn't."
Mary impatiently interrupted her, "How can he not be your boyfriend?! Didn't he call you darling?"
"Mom, this is twenty first century for God's sake!! Can't friends call you sweety, darling, honey?"
Mary snorted, "You dare lie to me!! Do you think I don't know that you never allow any of your friends to call you with intimate names? Didn't you beat Jason into a pulp when he had called you baby once when you were just ten years old? That time who was the one who had said that only your future boyfriend or husband can call you that? Now, now don't make excuses dear. Don't you dare hide that man from me, do you understand?"
Hearing her mother threaten her, Jennifer let out an exasperated sigh. How was she going to explain it to her mother now?
She can't even tell her that he was a gay!!
"Mom, listen I will explain it to you when I come back home. And I am on the way home, I was just packing up my things now. So please don't come here, okay?" Jennifer asked her, her voice contained uncertainty.
Mary giggled cunningly, "Then why are you in a hurry dear? Go spend some time with your boyfriend. I also don't mind if give me little buns as soon as possible. And your father would also not mind if you come home late. If you are already on your way back then just book a hotel on the way and enjoy your time. No need to come early. Remember to work hard and produce some good results. Aiyaaa! I am already expecting the arrival of my grandchild." With that Mary hung up the phone, not giving Jennifer a chance to speak.
Jennifer:"....." Great, truly great!! Why do I have such a shameless mother?!
The pair of shameless boyfriend and mother were already giving her a headache.
Correction, he was just her fake boyfriend.
She turned back, only to hit her nose on a hard thing.
Her nose turned red and eyes little watery with the contact. Rubbing her nose she looked up to see a handsome face staring at her amusedly.
Jennifer glared at the man who was enjoying seeing her in plight.
She looked back at the sturdy chest which had caused her to tear up. She wished she could just hit him hard on it. But she knew that it was not possible.
Looking down at her, Emmett patted her head. He was clearly treating her as a child.
"Are you alright?" Emmett whispered in her ear when he saw her red nose.
Controlling her rage, Jennifer looked up and said, "Why did you speak when I had clearly asked you to keep quiet?"
Emmett straightned up, giving her an innocent look, "When did I agreed to your request?"
Jennifer didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this?!
"You.." Her words died in her mouth when she saw him bending close to her, their faces barely few millimetres apart.
"Me what, huh?"
Jennifer's breath hitched, when she felt his warm breath caressing her face.
She gulped and tried to move back, only to see the dead end.
Her back was resting on the railings of the balcony as her body bended into an beautiful arc as she moved back.
Emmett taking the opportunity of this moment, entrapped her in his arms.
This resulted in them being in an ambiguous position.
