CHAPTER SEVEN


It was after dinner; Will and Emmi were playing monopoly in the living room. Emmi has enjoyed the dinner Will cooked for her.

“So everyone was happy seeing you this morning…?” Emmi asked.

“I was too focused on the task ahead.”

“How about Hammy… I heard you argued with her.”

“Well business is business. I am not offending her and I think she will understand.”

“Later, she doesn’t have a good impression of you, how?”

“I don’t really care too much.. any more.”

“But I thought you like her…”

“Lately, I am not sure about it anymore… perhaps my focus is someone else.”

“Then… tell me, who is it? I am your buddy, you can trust me.”

Before Will wanted to continue… the door bell rang.

He rushed to the door and opened it. May May and Hammy were standing at the door.

“Come in…” he invited them.

Both the girls followed him to the living room. Emmi was waving her hands to the girls.

“How are you?” May May asked.

“Still having difficult to walk. So late you come to visit.” Emmi said.

“Worried about you mah… I scared that naughty guy didn’t take care of you.”

“Make yourselves at home. I will make some coffee,” Will interrupted.

Heading towards the kitchen, Will saw the girls were getting along well. He opened a cabinet and took out a packet of starbucks grounded coffee. He put a few scope of coffee into the maker and brewed it.

The smell of coffee soon filled the kitchen. He then took out a carton of milk from the fridge to froth the milk.

“Need any help..?”

He turned his head and Hammy was there standing behind him.

“It is ok.”

“Will, I am sorry about this morning…”

“It is okay. We just have different perspective in looking at the issue. And I just got lucky.”

“I don’t think luck is what you did. You are good at finance.”

“Thanks… I am better with cooking actually.”

“Well, can you cook for me someday? I would like to try… kind of a date.”

“Uh.. I can’t for these days since I need to take care of Emmi. She injured her leg.”

Hammy nodded.

“Hammy can you help me to bring the coffee to the living room?”

“Sure why not, you are so cute. I started to like you,” Hammy said before she left the kitchen with a tray on her hands.

Will stood there... thinking the pretty girl who he talked with no longer hold any interest in him.
