Poor Girl sits wrong table on Blind Date, Never thought he's millionaire and falls love with her…

the soft hum of conversation and clinking silverware filled the air of the elegant New York City restaurant the lighting was warm and subdued the kind of place where every plate was a work of art and every guest seemed to exude confidence Emma Brooks however didn't feel confident at all her reflection in the glossy window outside had reminded her of her reality her dress was secondhand her shoes scuffed and her nerves shot still she had promised Jenny her best friend that she'd go through with the blind date clutching her phone Emma stepped inside scanning the tables

table s table s she murmured under her breath her heart pounding her eyes landed on a sharply dressed man sitting alone at a table near the back his dark hair was neatly styled and he seemed engrossed in his phone that has to be him she thought taking a deep breath she walked over forcing a bright smile hi you must be Kevin I'm Emma nice to meet you Liam Parker looked up startled he blinked at her momentarily at a loss for words uh hi Emma misread his confusion as shyness and slid into the seat across from

him her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap oh I know this is awkward blind dates are weird right Jenny told me you might be a little quiet so don't worry I can talk enough for both of us Liam opened his mouth to correct her but hesitated his business associate had just texted to cancel their meeting and something about Emma's Earnest smile made him pause she was nothing like the polished socialites and calculated networkers he usually dealt with instead she seemed genuine he decided to play along a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips

right blind dates are something else Emma laughed nervously taking a sip of water tell me about it Jenny's been trying to set me up for months but I've been too busy work you know work Liam asked curious despite himself I'm a waitress Emma admitted fiddling with the edge of her napkin not exactly glamorous but it pays the bills well most of them anyway enough about me what do you do Liam hesitated I uh work in tech tech that's cool Emma said brightly like coding and apps and stuff I'm terrible with computers something like that Liam

said his smile widening he leaned back in his chair studying her her straightforwardness was refreshing even if it was rooted in a mistaken identity the conversation flowed surprisingly easily after that Emma shared anecdotes about her shifts at the diner her struggles with paying rent and her dream of one day opening her own art studio Liam found himself laughing more than he had in months her enthusiasm contagious you're not what I expected Emma said suddenly her tone thoughtful Liam raised an eyebrow what do you mean well Jenny said you were reserved Emma said her cheeks flushing

but you're easy to talk to Liam chuckled softly you're easy to talk to too Emma beamed at the compliment her nerves easing further she was about to ask him more about his Tech work when her phone buzzed hey Emma where are you I'm at table 7 looking forward to meeting you Kevin her heart sank as she reread the message slowly she looked up at Liam her cheeks burning with embarrassment you're not Kevin are you she asked her voice barely above a whisper Liam's smile faltered guilt flickering in his eyes no I'm not Emma's stomach churned

as the reality sank in oh my God she muttered standing abruptly I I'm so sorry I sat at the wrong table this is so embarrassing wait Liam said standing too Emma it's okay I but she was already grabbing her coat and bolting for the door her face of flame Liam watched her go a strange mix of regret and curiosity swirling in his chest he had intended to correct her from the start but now he found himself wondering if he'd ever see her again and why the thought of not seeing her bothered him so much Liam

Parker sat in his penthouse suite staring out at the glittering New York City skyline the faint hum of traffic below and the muted glow of City Lights usually brought him Comfort but tonight his thoughts were elsewhere he couldn't stop replaying his conversation with Emma at the restaurant there was something about her a sincerity and warmth that felt out of place in his world of polished for size and calculated conversations she had been honest even vulnerable sharing stories about her life without a hint of pretension it was a stark contrast to the people he usually interacted

with business partners who measured their words like currency women who saw his wealth before they saw him Emma had thought he was someone else someone ordinary and it had made her openness all the more intriguing for the first time in a long while Liam felt curious across town Emma flopped onto the couch in her small apartment groaning into a throw pillow her roommate Jenny peaked over the edge of her laptop with an amused expression that bad huh Jenny asked setting her laptop aside Emma sat up her cheeks still flushed from the memory worse I sat

at the wrong table Jenny I had an entire conversation with some random guy thinking he was Kevin Jenny stifled a laugh what happened Emma recounted the evening her words tumbling out in a rush he was nice really nice actually funny too but then I got the text from the real Kevin and I just ran out of there like an idiot sounds like a romcom setup Jenny teased Emma groaned again grabbing a pillow to hide her face I just hope I never see him again Jenny raised an eyebrow you sure about that you said he was

nice he was Emma admitted lowering the pillow slightly but it doesn't matter I made a fool of myself maybe it's not the end of the world Jenny said shrugging people make mistakes and hey hey if he was as nice as you say maybe he didn't mind the next morning Liam sat in his office absentmindedly scrolling through emails while his assistant Claire reviewed his schedule for the day cancel the lunch with Rothman Liam said suddenly interrupting her Clare paused glancing at him you've been distracted since last night did something happen Liam hesitated debating whether to explain

I met someone he said finally accidentally CLA raised an eyebrow accidentally Liam leaned back in his chair his expression thoughtful she thought I was someone else we talked she doesn't know who I am and for the first time in years it felt normal and now Clare asked setting her clipboard down I want to see her again Liam said simply cla's lips twitched into a faint smile and how do you plan to make that happen I have an idea Liam said standing later that day Emma was finishing her shift at the diner when her phone buzzed

she pulled it out out frowning at the unfamiliar number hi Emma this is Liam I was the guy at the restaurant the other night I know it was a mixup but I'd like to see you again coffee maybe maybe Emma stared at the message her heart skipping a beat Liam wasn't Kevin's friend was he she showed the text to Jenny that evening her brow furrowed what do I do Jenny grinned you say yes obviously what's the worst that could happen after a moment of hesitation Emma replied okay coffee sounds nice the coffee shop Liam chose

was modest tucked away from the usual crowds when em arrived she found him already seated dressed casually in jeans and a button-down shirt hi she said sliding into the chair across from him hi Liam replied smiling thanks for agreeing to this Emma Shrugged I figured I owed you an apology for running out the other night no apology necessary Liam said honestly I'm glad you did otherwise I might not have had a reason to text you they ordered their drinks and as the conversation flowed Emma found herself relaxing Liam was easy to talk to his humor

dry but endearing he asked her questions about her art her family her dreams so what do you do Emma asked after a while I work in Tech Liam said keeping his answer deliberately vague startups mostly Emma nodded that sounds complicated it can be Liam admitted but I like it as the afternoon wore on Liam found himself drawn deeper into Emma's World she talked about her mother whose medical bills kept her working two jobs and her sketches which she dreamed of turning into a full-time career you're incredibly resilient Liam said his admiration genuine Emma laughed softly

resilient or stubborn take your pick back at his office that evening Liam's assistant cornered him you've been out all day Clare said pointedly what's going on with this woman Liam sighed rubbing the back of his neck she's different Clare folded her arms and you're still not telling her who you really are not yet Liam admitted I want her to know me not my bank account cla's expression softened slightly but her tone remained firm you can't keep this up forever sir she'll find out eventually and if she does it won't end well Liam nodded knowing she

was right but for now he wasn't ready to risk losing the first real connection felt in years the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Emma walked into the Cozy Cafe her nerves a little steadier this time spotting Liam at a corner table she waved tentatively he looked up his smile warm and inviting gone was the sharp business attire she remembered today he wore a simple gray sweater and jeans blending into the laid-back Vibe of the cafe hi Emma said as she slid into the seat across from him hi Liam replied his voice

soft but genuine thanks for meeting me again she Shrugged trying to play off her nerves it's not every day someone you accidentally meet at a restaurant text you I was curious Liam chuckled sipping his coffee well I'm glad curiosity won out the conversation flowed easily their laughter punctuating the hum of background chatter Liam asked questions about Emma's art and she found herself sharing details she rarely discussed how drawing had been her Escape during tough times how her father used to encourage en her and how she hoped to one day open a studio For Young Artists

you're incredibly passionate about it Liam observed it's all I've ever wanted Emma admitted her cheeks coloring slightly and you'll get there Liam said his tone unwavering after they left the cafe Emma LED Liam to her favorite Park a small but beautiful space with winding paths and plenty of benches for sketching this is where I come when I need inspiration Emma explained pulling out a small Sketchbook from her bag she flipped through pages filled with intricate drawings of people trees and CID escapes Liam marveled at her Talent these are incredible you could sell these Emma smiled

shyly maybe one day for now they're just for me as they strolled through the park Emma stopped to sketch a scene of a child feeding ducks by the pond Liam watched her fascinated by the way her Focus sharpened and her hands moved effortlessly across the page you're amazing he said softly Emma glanced up her eyes meeting his is I'm just drawing no Liam replied his gaze steady it's more than that a few days later Liam offered to help Emma with her groceries insisting it wasn't a big deal you're going to regret this Emma teased as

they stood in line at the local discount Market why is that Liam asked holding a carton of milk because these bags are heavy Emma said with a laugh when they reached her apartment building Liam carried most of the bags up the stairs without complaint though he couldn't help but noticed the peeling paint and flickering hallway lights this place has character Liam said diplomatically as they reached her door Emma snorted that's one way to put it inside the apartment was small but cozy with art supplies scattered across the living room and a gallery of Emma's sketches

taped to the walls Liam felt a Pang of admiration and guilt while she lived modestly her space was filled with warmth and creativity as they unpacked the groceries Emma shared stories about her mother who had always encouraged her artistic Pursuits but now struggled with health issues it's tough sometimes Emma admitted stacking cans in the cupboard but I'm lucky to have her she's the strongest person I know Liam nodded his respect for her growing with each passing moment one evening Emma invited Liam to an art gallery opening she'd been excited about as they wandered through the

exhibits Emma's eyes lit up with every piece she admired Liam couldn't help but be captivated by her enthusiasm they stopped in front of a painting depicting a father and daughter fishing by a lake The Strokes Vivid and filled with emotion Emma's breath hitched what is it Liam asked stepping closer Emma's voice was barely a whisper this reminds me of my dad we used to go fishing every summer when I was little tears welled in her eyes and she quickly wiped them away sorry it's silly I know it's not silly Liam said gently without thinking he

placed a comforting hand on her shoulder he'd be proud of you Emma looked up at him her emotions raw for a moment the world around them seemed to fade leaving only the unspoken connection between them as they walked home Emma's thoughts were a jumble of confusion and longing Liam or Kevin as she still believed him to be had become someone she looked forward to seeing someone who made her feel understood but the nagging voice in her head reminded her that their lives were Worlds Apart I don't get it Emma said aloud breaking the silence Liam

glanced said her don't get what why you spending time with me she admitted you could be doing anything with anyone why me Liam hesitated his guilt flaring because I like being around you isn't that enough Emma smiled faintly but didn't respond her doubts lingering later that night Liam sat in his Penthouse staring at the city lights he knew he had to tell her the truth eventually but the thought of losing her terrified him for now he decided he'd hold on to this connection even if it was built on borrowed time the hum of City Life

buzzed softly in the background as Emma sat cross-legged on her couch scrolling through her phone while sipping a cup of tea a headline caught her eye Liam Parker The elusive Tech millionaire expands philanthropic efforts curious she tapped the article the photo showed a sharply dressed man with dark hair his confident posture unmistakable Emma's brow furrowed as she squinted at the screen something about him looked familiar hey Jenny Emma called to to her roommate who was assembling a jigsaw puzzle at the kitchen table what's up Jenny replied without looking up Emma turned the phone around pointing

to the photo does this guy look like Kevin Jenny squinted at the screen then laughed oh definely not that guy's a billionaire or something right Kevin's way more down to earth Emma frowned the resemblance nagging at her but she shook it off don't be ridiculous she told herself a few days later Emma and invited Liam to her apartment for dinner she wanted to thank him for his kindness and encouragement which had meant more to her than she could express when Liam arrived carrying a bouquet of wild flowers Emma smiled warmly you didn't have to bring

anything Liam Shrugged handing her the flowers consider it a thank you for inviting me over the meal was simple but heartfelt spaghetti and garlic bread served on mismatched plates as they ate Emma talked about her plans to submit her sketches to a local art competition encouraged by lamk earlier praise you've done so much for me Emma said her eyes soft with gratitude not just with the art stuff but you're so humble it's refreshing Liam's smile faltered for a fraction of a second before he quickly recovered I'm just being myself he said taking a sip of

his water as Emma continued speaking Liam's guilt nod at him she trusted him admired him even but it was all built on a foundation of Lies still he told him himself he wasn't ready to risk losing her the truth however had a way of revealing itself a week later Emma volunteered at a high profile charity event helping coordinate auction items to raise money for underprivileged youth she was busy arranging a table of silent auction pieces when a ripple of excitement swept through the room who's that one of the volunteers asked gesturing toward the entrance Emma

turned her eyes widening as she saw Liam stepping into the Grand Ballroom he was impeccably dressed in a tailored suit his confidence stried commanding attention her heart raised what is he doing here she wondered as she watched the event organizer approached Liam shaking his hand warmly before addressing the crowd ladies and gentlemen we are honored to welcome our esteemed guest of honor Mr Liam Parker whose generosity has made this event possible the applause was deafening but Emma barely heard it her world tilted as the realization hit her like a tidal wave Liam Parker the tech

millionaire the man I thought was Kevin Emma waited until the event slowed down before approaching Liam he was standing near a group of attendees his usual calm demeanor intact but his eyes widened slightly when he saw her Emma he began stepping toward her we need to talk she said her voice steady but cold he nodded leading her to a quiet hallway outside the ballroom Emma crossed her arms her eyes sharp so you're Liam Parker the billionaire the bullona care to explain why you pretended to be someone else Liam exhaled running a hand through his hair

I didn't mean to lie to you when we first met it was an accident you thought I was someone else and I liked how easy it was to talk to you for once someone didn't see me as a dollar sign Emma's jaw tightened so what you decided to keep playing pretend let me fall for someone who doesn't even exist no Liam said quickly everything I said everything we shared it was real I just didn't know how to tell you the truth without losing you you mean without shattering the illusion Emma Shot back her voice Rising

do you have any idea how humiliating this is I trusted you Liam I thought you were different I am different Liam insisted his voice tinged with desperation Emma you're the only person who's ever seen me for who I am not what I own I didn't want to lose that Emma's eyes filled with tears but blinked them back shaking her head you already have Liam's heart sank as she turned and walked away her steps quick and Resolute he reached out as if to stop her but froze realizing there was nothing he could say to fix what

he had broken that night Emma sat in her room staring at her sketches but unable to focus her mind was a storm of emotions anger betrayal sadness Jenny knocked Softly on the door before poking her head in you okay Emma shook her head a tear tears slipping down her cheek no not really Jenny sat beside her pulling her into a hug do you want to talk about it Emma hesitated before Whispering I don't know if I was falling for him or the version of him I thought I Tha knew Jenny hugged her tighter whatever it

was you deserve someone who's honest with you don't settle for anything less as Emma lay awake that night staring at the ceiling she resolved to protect her heart Liam Parker might have been charming and kind but the Betrayal cut too deep for now she needed to focus on herself and leave Liam and his lies behind Liam sat at his desk staring out at the city lights that usually comforted him tonight they felt cold and distant he replayed Emma's words over and over in his mind you already have the weight of his mistake pressed down on

him he hadn't just lied he'd broken the trust of the one person who had seen him as more than his wealth and status and now she was gone I have to fix this he muttered to himself his assistant CLA entered the room holding a steaming cup of coffee long night Liam glanced at her his expression Resolute I need advice Clare raised an eyebrow intrigued that's new what's the situation it's about Emma Liam said he explained what had happened his voice tinged with regret CLA listened carefully then nodded if she's as special as you say you'll

need to show her not tell her how much she means to you actions speak louder than apology iies the next day Liam knocked on the door of Emma's apartment to his surprise Jenny opened it you've got some nerves she said Crossing her arms I need your help Liam said his tone Earnest please Jenny hesitated then sighed fine you've got 5 minutes inside Liam explained his plan he wanted to buy out the small Gallery Emma had always dreamed of owning and fill it with her artwork he'd been secretly collecting her sketches and drawing knowing how much

they meant to her I want her to see that I believe in her Liam said and that I'll do whatever it takes to make things right Jenny studied him for a long moment before nodding she deserves someone who fight for her don't screw this up it took weeks of preparation but Liam poured himself into the project he worked with the gallery owner to arrange the purchase carefully creating Emma's artwork to display each piece was framed and lit beautifully transforming the space into a tribute to her talent and vision on the day of the reveal Liam

left a handwritten note on the front desk ensuring everything was ready before slipping away Emma was walking home from work when Jenny intercepted her you need to come with me Jenny said her tone urgent what why Emma asked confused just trust me Jenny insisted dragging her toward the small Gallery Emma had admired for years when they arrived Emma froze the sign on the door read special exhibit the art of Emma Brooks her heart raced as she stepped stepped inside the space was filled with her drawings Landscapes portraits and Whimsical sketches she' poured her soul into

the gallery was empty except for a single note placed on a pedestal in the center of the room Emma picked it up her hands trembling your art deserves the world just like you deserve honesty love and someone who sees you for who you are let me try again Liam tears wed in her eyes as she looked around she recognized each piece every stroke in detail a reflection of her dream and struggles just then Liam stepped out from behind a partition his expression cautious but hopeful Emma he began his voice steady despite the emotion in his

eyes I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I couldn't let you go without showing you how much you mean to me she turned to face him her tears falling freely you broke my trust Liam I don't know if I can ever forget that Liam nodded his gaze unwavering I know but I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you'll let me you're the only thing in my life that feels real Emma looked away her heart torn you made me feel like I wasn't enough like you didn't think I could

handle the truth that wasn't it Liam said his voice breaking slightly I was scared scared you'd see me differently if you knew the truth scared you'd walk away before I even had a chance to prove myself Emma hesitated her emotions swirling she loved him she couldn't deny that but trusting him again felt like a risk she wasn't sure she could take maybe she said finally her voice soft some things are worth a second chance Liam's eyes brightened but Emma held up a hand I'm not saying it'll be easy she added but I'm willing to try

Liam stepped closer his voice filled with gratitude that's all I could ever ask for as they stood in the gallery surrounded by Emma's artwork the tension between them eased slightly but as Emma left that evening she glanced back once her expression unreadable Liam watched her go his heart heavy but hopeful he had made his move but now the next step was hers Emma Sat by her bedroom window staring out at the quiet street Below in her hands was the note Liam had left at the gallery the words etched into her mind let me try again

she'd spent days replaying everything his deception his apology and the length he'd gone to prove his love the gallery filled with her artwork wasn't just a grand gesture it was a reflection of how much he believed in her even when she doubted herself her heart tugged in two directions part of her wanted to keep protecting herself to walk away before she risked being hurt again but another part a bigger part couldn't ignore the truth she still loved him with a deep breath she grabbed her coat and phone the cafe was quiet its warm Ambience a

stark contrast to the nervous energy Emma felt as she walked in she spotted Liam sitting at the same table they had shared during their first meeting he looked up as she approached approached his expression a mix of Hope and apprehension Emma he said softly standing as she reached the table hi she replied her voice steady despite the fluttering in her chest they sat down silence hanging between them for a moment before Liam spoke I didn't know if you'd come he admitted I almost didn't Emma said honestly she met his eyes her tone firm but not

unkind Liam I've spent the past few weeks trying to figure out if I can trust you again and I've realized something I don't need grand gestures I don't need you to prove anything with money or gifts I just need honesty Liam leaned forward his voice Earnest you have my word Emma no more secrets no more lies just me for as long as you'll have me Emma studied him searching his face for any sign of Doubt all she saw was sincerity slowly she nodded okay letun try again relief washed over Liam's face and for the first

time in weeks a genuine smile broke through his guarded exterior months later Emma stood in the center of her newly opened Art Gallery surrounded by friends family and supporters the space buzzed with excitement as guests admired the pieces on display all created by Emma and a group of up and coming artists she had mentored Liam had helped her every step of the way not with his wealth but with his unwavering encouragement he'd insisted the gallery belonged to her both in name and spirit and Emma had poured her heart into making it a Haven for cre
