She fell on the large comfortable chair and shut her eyes. She is now a boss she told herself. Even though Sam gave his bar to her back in Los Angeles, Emma never really felt that was hers but now, she was feeling on top of the world.

Emma smiled and gradually stood up. Gideon couldn't believe the sight before him. Was he really seeing Emma or is his mind playing games with him? Emma smiled the moment she stood up and Gideon knew she was real. His whole body felt as if it was soaked in ice and he filled chills down his spine. He couldn't bring himself to speak neither could he move a brow. He was shocked to the bone marrow. Judy on the other side of Gideon was as shocked as he was. Unlike Gideon who stood firm like a rock, Judy's eyes rolled all over Emma and she felt like running out of the room but her feet were stuck. Emma who was already standing up was enjoying the spectacle before her and she was gloating in her mind over thier shocking reaction. She smirked inwardly and decided to walk up to them. Emma started walking towards the
