This is just a job nothing more Emma thought as she
opened her car door. Emma walks to the pathway to the house. This
is going to her first reporting job. She moved to a small town
about two years, at the time she was working in New York as a
reporter,
So when her boss gives her the opportunity to
interview the famous businessman Andre Winnsterham her jump at the
chance, the rumors that he was mysterious and very handsome. She
heard that he are gave reporters any interviews.
As Emma walks up the steps to the door and use one
old-knocker, within the door open. A tall slender man saying, “May
I help you, Miss?
“I am Emma Wilson from Blackwood Times. I am here for
my interview with Andre Winnsterham.”
“Yes, Miss Emma, come this way.”
Emma walks into the house, she couldn’t help being in
awe. In the lavish way house was decorated. The outside of the
house it looked dark and gloomy. Inside it was a different story.
It was bright and lighted by candles and lanterns. Emma almost felt
she was stepping back in time. The man stopped at the double doors
and opened it was the living room with a big fireplace. The room
was dividing into a library with every collection books on any
subjects.
“Master Andre will join you shortly, Miss Emma”
“Thank you”
Emma sat down on the red cushion sofa. After awhile
she stood up and walked up to books to look at them.
All suddenly she heard a sexy man’s voice saying,
“I see you were looking at my collection of
books”.
“Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to be nosy.”
“It is alright. You can look at any of my books that
catches your fancy. ” Come I show in the living area and we can
start the interview.
Emma taking his head and looked up at him. He had
handsome European face. The color of his skin was slight paler than
she was. His eyes were bright blue with green his hair was pulled
back and flowed down past his back.
“I want to thank you for letting have this interview
with you.”
“It been awhile since I talked to a reporter and plus
I wanted to lay the rumors aside.”
I have read some of your work. I have a good feeling
that you will be fair and see how normal I am. ” He said smiling
widely showing white teeth.
“Yes I see that you are quite normal, a less you are
hiding something.” Smiling back at him.
“No I don’t have any reasons to had any secrets”
Andre looked up to the doorway and say,
“I see that my servant brought us some tea.” Would
you like to have some, Emma?”
“Yes, I would.
Andre fixed her cup of tea and gives it to her.
“Are you having any tea?”
“Not this time I will have some later this
evening”
“What made you come back to town?”
“I had finished my business abroad and decided that
it was time to go home.
“I see. Your family is from this town, then?”
No, they are from Europe. I am afraid that I am last
of my line.
“Oh, I am sorry to hear that.”
“It happened long ago.” Tell me something about
you?”
“I moved to this town two years ago.” I was a
reporter in New York for awhile. I felt I need a change.”
“What about your family?”
“I have one older brother who is in the military and
has a family in Ohio.”
“I see. That is good.”
“I was hoping that I could get a picture of you if
that is alright.”
“I have to get back to you on that.”
Emma started looking at her papers when suddenly she
cried.
“Ouch! I got a paper cut.”
She saw a spackle of light in Andre eyes.
“Come with me. We must take care of it.”
Andre led Emma to a spacious bathroom and took her
hand gently wiped away the blood and put some ointment on it. He
puts a band-aid around her finger.
“Thank you.”
“Your welcome, let’s go back and I pour us something
to drink.”
Andre and Emma went back to the living room. He
disappeared for a minute Emma turn around he was back with a tray
handing her a drink.
“How did you do that? I didn’t hear you come in.”
“I am light on
