100 Days With Mr Romero

CHAPTER 77: BONDING



To help Emma overcome her grief completely, Sam had been doing all he could to ensure Emma was in the right mood. He would cheer her up consistently even though at times Emma felt he needed more cheering than her.

Ever since she revealed to him about her past, Sam kept wishing he knew earlier so he would have helped her. He took it upon himself to ensure Emma was okay and Emma was always careful not to take his kindness for granted or misuse the liberty he will always want to give her at work.

Sam considered Emma a brave woman who left a life of bliss and transcended into the life she was now leading. He commended Emma for being so strong and vowed to give her his full support when she narrated to him the circumstances surrounding Ryan’s death and what lead to the termination of her marriage.

At his parents house when he went to visit them for the weekend one day, Sam’s mother kept reiterating the fact that he had been calmer than before and she could swear his temperament was in check. She joked about how he must hurry and marry the woman responsible for his happiness lately.

Meanwhile, Emma had fully resumed her work as one of Sam’s bar tender and she was being as efficient as ever. She will visit the library during the day and focus on her shift at night and when she was on duty during the day, she sometimes went to the movies with Sam or spent time reading and writing.

Emma was also aware that gossips of her and the boss seeing each other was beginning to fly around in the club and since she has a clear conscience, she didn’t bother to hear more to the issue. She wasn’t sure whether Sam heard about it and she didn’t confirm from him because she felt it wasn’t necessary.

One Sunday morning, Sam pulled his range rover in front of her apartment and called her to join him. Emma had already outlined how her Sunday will turn out. She will sleep to get enough rest, read a book and take a walk by evening in the park. When Sam requested that she joins him in the car, she obliged because she knew he had been doing a lot lately to take her out of her shell.

She changed into a fitting blue gown and wore comfortable heels. While coming down to join Sam in the car, she adjusted her hair holding unto her purse and Sam kept admiring her. She entered the car and they drove of.

First, Sam took them to a music festival that morning which Emma hadn’t attended in a long while. She marveled at the little kids playing the piano and loved the way the jazz was presented. After that, Sam took her to one of the best restaurants in the area for lunch.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

At the restaurant, Sam treated her to a delicious and luxurious cuisine. She remembered how such dishes formed her menu while she was Mrs. Gideon Romero. Before they left the restaurant, Sam gifted her a bottle of champagne. Emma was so pleased and grateful but Sam wasn’t done yet. He then drove Emma to the spa and while she was relaxing in the women’s lounge, he was getting his own special treatment in the men’s lounge.

After that, he drove them to the shopping mall even though Emma complained that it was enough, he had done much already and they could go home. Sam refused to yield At the shopping mall, Sam picked out dresses for Emma and when she displayed a lack of interest in a certain dress he had picked, he will hang it back and immediately pull out another one.

Sam crowned the special Sunday outing with a movie night at the VIP cinema in town which houses a few elites. But before their movie session they had dinner.

While they were having dinner, Emma kept appreciating Sam for giving her a wonderful treat. She told him it was her best day ever since she moved to Chicago.

On their way back to her home, Emma shared with Sam her plan to complete her studies and establish her own business. She told him how ambitious she was and how her marriage to Gideon Romero had tied her down which later led to a detrimental end. Sam was glad when he noticed the wave of re_invigoration that was surrounding her and he was willing to give her all the support she could ever need. Before he drove her to her place he made her a proposition which he asked her to think about.

When he drove her to her place and left, Emma showered and laid on her bed. She was right when she told Sam that he just gave her the best day of her life in Chicago ever since she moved in a year ago.

Sam had been supportive and she hasn’t noticed any display of violence and hasn’t caught a glimpse of him acting moody or feeling too high. She prays he was getting better as she assumes and hopes he isn’t covering his scars to help erase hers.
