Jane

Emily returned to her hotel and sank into a plush armchair, ready to rest. Just as she was about to close her eyes, Lauretta walked in with a concerned expression. "Emily, we've got a call from headquarters. I scheduled a meeting, and it's in five minutes." "Five minutes?" Emily exclaimed, almost crying out. "I needed some shut-eye." "Just get me a bottle of water," she added, trying to muster some energy. As Lauretta set up the system, Emily grumbled under her breath, "What do they want this time?" She took a deep breath and tried to steady herself as the screen flickered to life. The faces of the board members appeared one by one, including her uncle Michael and aunt Sarah, both looking stern and impatient. "Good afternoon, everyone," Emily began, forcing a professional smile. "Emily," her uncle Michael started, "we've been reviewing your progress in Silverwood, and there are concerns about the pace of your investigation and business development." Her aunt Sarah nodded in ag

Recoil

As Lauretta drove, the tension inside the car was palpable, the air thick with unspoken frustrations and hidden agendas. Each passing mile only seemed to amplify the weight of Emily's exhaustion, the realization sinking in that Jane was merely a pawn in her uncle and aunt's sinister scheme to undermine her efforts in Silverwood. Lost in her thoughts, Emily barely registered Jane's intrusive comments until they pierced through the silence like a dagger. "Why are you so lenient with the Johnsons?" Jane's voice cut through the air, sharp and accusatory. "You're practically handing them a favor with this contract, but you're being far too accommodating. And that Titus guy—what's his deal with this acquisition nonsense? They have no idea of the magnitude of Walton Company." Emily's jaw clenched as a surge of anger coursed through her veins, her frustration boiling over at Jane's audacity to question her methods. Whipping her head around, Emily's eyes blazed with indignation as she faced

Intentions

On Jane's end, she was in her hotel room, a luxurious suite on the top floor with a panoramic view of Silverwood. The room was elegantly furnished with a king-sized bed, a plush armchair by the window, and a sleek desk where her laptop and documents were neatly arranged. A soft glow from the bedside lamps bathed the room in warm light. Jane herself was dressed leisurely, having shed her business attire for something more comfortable. She wore a pair of sleek, black leggings and an oversized cashmere sweater in a soft, blush pink hue. Her feet were cozily tucked into plush slippers, and her hair, usually styled in a sharp bob, was now casually tied back in a loose ponytail. Her makeup was minimal, just a touch of mascara and lip balm, giving her a fresh, relaxed look. As she settled into the armchair by the window, she swirled the glass of white wine in her hand, contemplating the day's events. The room was quiet, the only sound the faint hum of the air conditioning. She took a deep

Sucess

On the third day, Emily woke up with a mix of nerves and anticipation, waiting to hear from the Johnsons. She sat on her couch, her phone positioned on the coffee table in front of her. The tension in the room was palpable as she tried to distract herself with some documents. The door creaked open, and Loretta entered, her face mirroring the anxiety Emily felt. "Any news yet?" Loretta asked softly, hoping for a positive update. Emily sighed and shook her head. "Not yet. I feel like I've been waiting forever." Loretta gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "It’ll come, Emily. Just be patient." Just as Loretta finished her sentence, the phone rang. Emily’s heart leaped into her throat. She snatched it up with trembling hands. "Hello?" "Hello, this is Jacob Johnson," the voice on the other end said. "The family has decided, after thorough consideration, to accept the contract. The contract has been signed by our board representative. Please come pick it up." Emily let out a s

Shadow

After the dinner, Emily leaned closer to Loretta, her voice barely above a whisper. "Take Jane back to the hotel. I'll stay with Alex."Loretta, sensing the underlying tension, nodded. "Jane, let me drop you off at the hotel," she said, her tone firm but friendly.Jane, puzzled and slightly annoyed, glanced at Emily. "Aren't you coming?" she asked, expecting Emily to follow.Emily shook her head, her expression calm. "I'll be right behind you," she assured, watching as Loretta and Jane left the restaurant. Once they were out of sight, she turned to Alex, who had been watching the exchange with curiosity."Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Alex asked, sensing there was more to this than a simple after-dinner chat.Emily took a deep breath, her eyes locking onto his. "I saw the disappointment on your face when you saw everyone at the table tonight. I thought we should have some quiet time alone," she said, her voice soft but earnest.Alex raised an eyebrow, taken aback by

Alliance

The next morning, Emily paced back and forth in her hotel room, her eyes fixed on her phone lying on the table. Her mind raced with questions and doubts. "Will he call? What if he doesn't?" she muttered to herself, her nerves frayed and her heart pounding in her chest. Suddenly, the phone rang. Her heart leaped, and she darted towards it, her anticipation palpable. She grabbed the phone, her hands trembling slightly. "Alex, Alex!" she screamed in excitement, but then quickly tried to calm herself, taking a deep breath before picking up the call. "Hello," she said, her voice a mix of relief and anxiety."Hello, Emily," Alex responded, his tone warm but cautious. There was an awkward silence, each waiting for the other to speak first. Finally, Alex continued, "About yesterday... "Emily quickly cut in, desperate to fill the void. "I am so sorry! I didn’t know you had a phobia for blood. A military man with a blood phobia?" she joked, trying to lighten the mood with a nervous laugh.

Young Emily’s Superhero

Alex returned home, finding Nana and little Emily sitting at the dining table. Nana had already prepared a glass of juice for them, and the atmosphere was calm yet tinged with the lingering tension from the events of the previous night. Emily's eyes held a mix of curiosity and apprehension as Alex joined them."Hello, honey," Alex greeted Emily warmly, though he could sense the unease in her demeanor. Sitting down across from her, he exchanged a knowing glance with Nana, silently acknowledging the need for a delicate conversation."What was that last night?" Emily asked, her voice barely above a whisper, yet echoing with the weight of her uncertainty.Alex took a moment to collect his thoughts, his gaze softening as he met Emily's troubled eyes. "Emily, I'm not a monster," he began, his tone gentle yet resolute. "But what you saw... it's not something I can easily explain."Emily listened intently, her curiosity piqued by Alex's cryptic words. "Do you know about superheroes?" Alex ask

The Second Contract

After 10 minutes, Jane came knocking on the door. "Knock, knock, knock," echoed through the room. Loretta opened the door and greeted Jane, who entered and took a seat on the couch. Emily, stepping out from her room with a folder of documents, approached Jane and settled beside her. "I wrote down some notes from my visit to Oakheart Brewery," Emily began, spreading the papers on the table between them. The room fell silent as the discussion commenced. Emily recounted her entire encounter at the brewery, detailing her inspection and the observations she made. "The brewery's operations are running, but they have significant issues with staff management and outdated machinery," Emily explained. "Henry, the manager, mentioned that they lack manpower, which is affecting their productivity." Jane listened intently, occasionally nodding as she jotted down notes. The meeting continued for about 30 minutes, with Emily providing thorough insights and Jane asking pertinent questions. "Tha

First Mischief

Emily left the hospital, worry etched on her face. She had been trying to reach Alex all day without success. As she walked towards her car, she decided to try calling him one more time. She picked up her phone and dialed his number, her heart pounding with each ring. "Hello?" Alex's voice finally answered. "Alex, thank goodness!" Emily exclaimed, relief flooding her voice. "I've been trying to reach you all day. Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine," Alex replied. "I had some errands to run this morning. I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with you." "It's fine," Emily said, her concern easing slightly. "Where are you now?" "I'm a little busy, Emily," Alex said, his tone hinting at something he wasn't saying. "Oh, okay," she responded, trying to mask her disappointment. "I just wanted to let you know that Jacob is awake and I met with Mr. Thompson and left the contract with him." "That's great news," Alex said. "I hope it all goes well." "Me too," Emily said. "Alright, have a l
