Emerson looked away trying to supress an amused smile.

"Wh-what? " Adrien splutters.

"Are you serious I am your own flesh. I just didn't call because you don't give me good responses! " He almost yelled in disbelief.

"That's what I mean. He is an idiot. Just because I don't give good response? What does that mean? You want me say I love you before every call? " Henry asks sarcastically.

Adrien huffs.

"Yeah, yeah, only that is left now." He grumbled to himself.

"Ok Grandpa, sorry to disturb your sleep. I will call you later. Bye." Emerson spoke.

"Bye sweets." With that Henry hu g up.

Adrien was frowning in disbelief.

His grandpa being in playful mood and acting like this was very wierd to him.

Emerson turned to Adrien.

"I think you should leave now. It's getting late." Emerson said politely.

Adrien mentally rolled his eyes. She always kicked him out of her cabin.

But he nodded nonetheless. Taking his bag and kissing her forehead, taking her by surprise, he left.

Emerson touched the place where his lips touched. She sighed in irritation. It was no news she felt tingles and sparks, but his behavior irritated her that he was good one minute and angry the next second. And she didn't forget Heather's words. If Michael could act like je was in love with her for an year, couldn't Adrien act like he cared for her, and she didn't want to go another heartbreak.

She sighed again and took sleeping pills, not wanting to stay awake in thoughts which will eat her mind.

~~~~~~~~

Emerson paid by her card and signed some papers. She officially owned a car.

A big smile broke on her face. She video called Rose and showed her the car.

After ending the call, Emerson gripped the car keys tightly in her hand and sat in the car, the fresh smell of the leather giving her a sense of peace.

She started the car and left for her cabin. Her excitement was visible on her face.

When she reached there, Adrien called her the same moment.

She picked it up.

"Hello? "

"Hey Emerson, are you ready, I will come and then we can leave for the sites." Adrien spoke, and she heard shuffling from the other end.

"You can send me the location, I will be there in time." She suggested.

"Oh, ok." Adrien sounded disappointed but Em shrugged it off.

"Bye then." And without waiting for his reply she hung up.

When she got the location, she placed it in her satnav and started driving, feeling proud of herself.

She reached the site of hotel .

What she saw surprised her but not surprised. She expected a beautiful building, but it's beauty still surprised her.

She tightened the strap of her backpack and entred the building. She let her gaze roam on the interior. It looked old but not too much, it was still good, only needed a bit of final touch of paint. She wondered if Adrien was going to break it completely and then build or just give a touch up. But he would be a fool if he does the previous one. It didn't need much change. The designes and carvings were good enough.

The restaurant side of it buzzed with customers, who looked elites.

She was observing it in her thoughts when a clearing of throat brought her out of her trail.

A man in shirt pants and tie was standing behind her with an annoyed expression.

"How may I help you miss? " He asked, but his tone was no where near polite or formal. Instead, he was rude.

Em persued her lips.

" I apologize, I don't need any help, just waiting for someone." She said politely.

He scowled at her .

"Look, if you are someone's booty call here, wait outside, we don't entertain sluts. " He spat .

Emerson froze but then composed herself and smiled politely at him.

"Well, then I guess I will have to leave my job to someone else." She said .

His scowl deepend at her reaction.

"What the hell are you speaking! Let me call the security, you will be thrown out! " He hissed and was about to say something more when a voice boomed.

"What is going on here? "

The man before her froze.

Emerson turned around.

"Good morning sir." Emerson spoke in a polite tone.

Adrien narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I won't repeat myself manager, what was going on here? " He asked harshly.

The man stuttered in fear.

"No-nothing sir, I was just asking the woman here to go out if she wasn't doing anything." He spoke in a rush.

Adrien looked at Emerson.

"Is it true Ms Leone? " He asked her stoic.

Emerson gave him a blank look. She wasn't going to let people walk over her, even if confrontations were not her forte.

She shrugged.

"Disrespecting someone without knowing them is wrong, if you are in service sector, customers can turn their back on you if you don't treat them with respect. It's the first thing you should know in this business. And calling people names, more like curses, is least expected from the staff." She said instead.

Adrien stiffened.

He glared at the manager who was shaking in fear.

"She is lying sir, I didn't say anything. I don't even curse ." He rushed out.

Adrien nodded.

"She is MD of our hotels for a while. Ms Emerson Leone, treat her with respect." He said and shooed the manager away.

Emerson was crumbling underneath. He definitely didn't believe her , it showed from his action. He left the manager without even warning him. She was hurt but masked it with a blank expression.

Adrien turned towards her.

"Let me give you a tour and details about what is going to be renovated." He said.

Emerson nodded.

"Sure."

She took a notepad and pen from her bag and started following him.

He first introduced her to the main staff of the hotel . Then he started the tour of the hotel.

She started taking notes.

Ground floor was restaurant, kitchen, pantry and reception.

The 1st floor had security room and all work related place.

The 2nd floor had bar, game room and club.

From the 3rd floor started the hotel suits.

It had equal amount of one bedroom suits, two bedroom suites, 3 bedroom suites, honeymoon suites and studio rooms. The upper 4 floors had same arrangement. In 7th floor were presidential suites. And the luxury increased at they went on the 8th , 9th and 10th floor. Then upper 6 floors were penthouses with 2 floors each. The terrace, had two swimming pools and an open bar.

Adrien was babbling about the whole hotel and Em was patiently taking notes in her notepad.

When they came back to the ground floor, Adrien expected Em to be pretty exhausted, because walking around the big hotel was tiresome, but she wasn't looking like she was tired. Not a single bead of sweat was present. Even he was tired considering he was healthy and mascular.

Em looked deep in thought as she scribbled something on her notepad.

"Aren't you tired? " Adrien asked her.

Emerson frowned. She was weaker since Grandpa Peter died but his training her like a dog made sure she wasn't tired easily. So walking through the hotel didn't tire her much. She had done worse, as it wasn't a big rough mountain with path of rocks.

She shrugged.

Adrien raised his eyebrows in surprise. She was really supernatural.

He nodded.

"It's almost lunch time now, let's go the next hotel we will be seeing them wat there." He told her she nodded but suddenly remembered about her car.

"I want to show you something." She spoke.

Adrien frowned but told her to lead the way .

She went to the parking lot and stopped near a brand new Elantra.

"Meet my first official car, Elantra." She said proudly. Her excitement could be seen through her eyes.

Adrien chuckled.

"Hello, 'Emerson's first new car, Elantra. '" He mimicked her.

Emerson rolled her eyes mentally.

Why did she think he will be proud or happy of her achievement. But still have him a polite smile.

"I will be at the hotel then. " She said politely, but the excitement long died.

Adrien noticed the change and he frowned but ignored it.

"Ok, let's meet there then, bye."

Adrien left and Emerson sat in the car, taking deep breaths. She started the car and left for the next hotel.
