M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 72: A new appointment

He sighed when he saw her. What does she want? Shouldn't she be with her brother and going home already? But whatever, he wants to know what she's up to. Mirabel came and stood in front of him. " Hello Jared" she said, having that kind of beautiful smile, capable of melting the hardest of hearts.

"Hello," Jared replied simply. He wants to leave already. Why did she come? She should just say and leave at once.

"Congratulations on your new appointment" she said again and paused. For once since he had set his eyes on Mirabel that evening, he smiled and it's a sincere one. "Thank Miss Mira" Jared responded and looked at his wristwatch. She should understand what he meant when he looked at his wrist watch.

"Can you drive home or you need help? I don't mind helping you home.." Mirabel was offering to help when Jared gave her that I don't need your help kind of smile.

"I appreciate your generosity Miss Mira, but I think I will be able to drive," Jared replied and slided into the car. Like an aftermath thoughts, he popped his head out and said "Thanks" Mira smiled and waved at him as he drove off. She felt happy, he smiled at her. She will get closer, she's already paving a way for herself in his heart.

Just then her phone rang. It was Rodrigo. She hurriedly along and came to join him as the car zoomed off.

Rodrigo turned and glanced at her but didn't say anything. Whatever he wants to say now can wait till another day.

Jared hardly arrived home when Mirabel called him. She said she was checking on him if hexwas able to drive home?

The latter said yes and hung up immediately. He doesn't know why she called him now. If he couldn't drive home, what can she do about it?

Mirabel didn't mind how he hung up on her. What is important is that she has been able to initiate phone calls between them. When she next calls him, it wasn't going to be a surprise to him. Many days passed and Jared was doing well in the company. Many were impressed with his work and it was blooming more than he expected.

Since the company has its footing from City B, Eduardo ensured many foreign investors bought into the company and it was going great and good.

But no single day passes that Mirabel doesn't call Jared. Initially she might call three times before Jared will answer his phone and his voice will be cold towards her.

But gradually, it became frequent and he asked her why she's fine with calling him even when she knew he doesn't appreciate her call. Did Rodrigo tell her to call him often?

He doesn't know if there was something underlying the reason for her frequent call. Three times every day she would call him. He was getting uncomfortable with her call hence he asked her. Mirabel said no. Rodrigo didn't know she was communicating with him. She just wants them to be friends. She likes talking to him and if he doesn't mind, they can be friends.

Few weeks Later, it's Emma's wedding day. The whole city was bobbling and the bride was happy. This time, she was going to be married.

Her husband to be isn't the type to leave her waiting at the altar and go in search of a woman that was already dead. She wiped the tears that threatened to replace their way down her cheeks. As she got into the car and her parents were following behind like a convoy, Martin suddenly received a phone call from the company.

As he talked with the fellow, his complexion became ashen. His hands suddenly began to shiver and he opened his mouth to talk but ended up stammering.

Emma didn't know what was happening, as she was in the car ahead, lost in her fantasies of a happy union. She closed her eyes and imagined that she was indeed getting married to Rodrigo. She doesn't have any feeling of love towards the man she was going to be married to. He is still growing, he hasn't found his foot among men of Calibre like Rodrigo.

But he agreed to marry her because her father had promised to help him grow and establish his company. With such saucy promises, he agreed to tie the knot with her. They both have no love for each other. She knew her parents just wanted to get them bonded to make Rodrigo feel that he is not the only man on the planet Earth. If he refused to marry Emma, she would get another man who would love to be married to her. They were reducing Rodrigo to nothing and she liked it that way. While Emma was still lost in her thoughts, Ella held Martin's hands, shaking it and asking him to look at her. She was alarmed at her husband's sudden look.

Martin just remained calm, looking Confused and worried to the ends of the Earth. What will he do now? Emma's wedding was important but the company's business needs his immediate attention. Well, he would quickly give Emma's hand in marriage to the priest and he would leave afterwards. Having decided he relaxed and the chauffeur drove him and his wife Ella to the chapel.

It was the same chapel that Rodrigo was to be married to Emma back then. But now, Emma was to be married to Kushner Will.

They arrived at the chapel and the groom hadn't arrived yet. They decided to wait. The bride stepped out of the car and walked on the red carpet to the chapel auditorium.

The guests were present, not so much like the guests during the time she ought to have been married to Rodrigo.

But at least, a lot of people were present and a few dignitaries and men of class and aristocratic family were there too.

But Martin kept looking at his wristwatch. The groom should be there already. Instead of the groom arriving, journalists arrived in great numbers.

The entire chapel surrounding became crowded, hardly will someone replace a place to place a foot. Cameras were flashing snapshots and video was being recorded.

Martin felt this was absurd. He cannot remember sponsoring the press to be there. But they came in their crowd, different companies and they seem to be very busy and active with their work.

Something isn't right. They were there for thirty minutes and the groom hadn't arrived. Instead of the groom, some uninvited guests and press men were there.

His company was collapsing already and he needed to be there to salvage whatever was happening. And in such critical time, the groom also has decided to be this late.

He ordered his assistant to call the groom and that one soon returned and said the groom's cell phone number was switched off.

Confusion has a head on collision with Fury in Martin's heart. He was tapping his foot on the floor and was gnashing his teeth. He would destroy this Kushner Will if he stayed another ten minutes before he arrived.

His eyes had gone red and he didn't pay attention to the camera's pointed at him nor the video recording. He was too Confused to note things like that.

Initially when they arrived, Emma was beaming with a smile. But after staying a little long, and the groom was not showing up, her smile gradually dissipated.

But now, she was sweating. It's over thirty minutes, and Kushner Will hasn't shown up. Is history going to repeat itself?

The live streaming of Emma was showing all over the city. While they were waiting for the groom and appearing frustrated, they did not know everything was going live and people were watching.

Unable to wait any longer, Emma started sobbing. She's ruined again. How can the past repeat itself on her at the same occasion and the same venue.

Only one explanation that this can be, the groom is never going to show up. He had jilted her at the altar, left alone in her wedding dress and maids.

She turned to glance at her mother and saw her sniffling and wiping tears off her eyes. That unimaginable thing has happened.

Just then, Martin received another call, his company was no more, it had just ceased from existing...
