The room was filled with a surge of hushed murmurs and whispers as if someone finally had taken cognizance of Emery; they felt she wouldn't be here if she wasn't sure of what she was saying. They weren't stupid, they knew how much their late boss loved his daughter.It's weird to say he would die without leaving her with a dime in the company's fortune.Emery had to make her point clear. She was here to be acknowledged, and not otherwise. She had to keep stalling time, she had no idea why Jayden wasn't here yet but she knew it must be related to the shares he had mentioned.Nick's face flamed red with anger, his eyes blazed with fury. Emery was ruining things for him, he could tell she was capturing the heart of everyone in the room. He furrowed in brows in a frown, "This is not the time nor the place for this discussion," he growled, and the low tone of his voice was menacing.Was he trying to shut her up? Emery wasn't surprised by his actions, it seems she was the only one oblivious

Emery laughed out loud in disbelief. She was taken aback by Zylar's words, “Reall?, this is interesting, you just met me a few minutes ago and you talk as if you've known me for years? “ She scowled.Emery could tell that the lady before her was so reserved. Emery never gets it wrong when reading a person. She could easily detect someone's look on his or her face.Zylar smiled, nodding her head. “What a joke!” Emery mumbled beneath her breath, it seems everyone thinks she is so pitiful. “How are you going to help me?” Zylar leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Rumors are no longer rumors when they are proven to be true. “Emery smirked, “This company is at the verge of bankruptcy isn't it? From the look of things this doesn't sound like a rumor to me.” Zylar said with a smile, “We both need each other. Whereas, I think you're the only one who can help me uncover the truth I need" she continued.“Oh!” Emery exclaimed, “It seems you bumping into me wasn't a

Darren was there seated in his office with his back faced towards the entrance. He was staring through the large window, feeding his eyes with sights of the surrounding. At intervals, he sipped on a cup of black coffee and then scanned a few documents he had placed on his thigh. He furrowed his brows at the sight of the contents in the document while he maintained focus.Just while he was about to make a note on one of the papers, his door swung open and Alex walked in."Boss!” He called out to Darren, bowing his head in respect, "I have a briefing for you," Alex said, his voice low and serious. Darren instantly spun his seat towards the desk, he looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it?"“Boss as commanded,” He handed a folder to Darren. Darren glanced at the folder, he stretched his hands receiving it, a smile forming across his face. Alex began to brief him, his voice quick and efficient."Emery has been snooping around her father's old office, looking for clues abou

"Myself and Sophia here were just discussing your marriage."Nick's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "My marriage?" he repeated. It was the least he was expecting to hear. It was more of a shock to him. He let out a chuckle “Like seriously? Are you both out of discussions to have or something? This is unbelievable!” He turned towards Sophia, who was still smiling. "Okay then, tell me, what about my marriage?"Sophia nodded. "You heard that right. Let's tell you what's about your marriage now. Nick, don't you think you are forgetting about your personal life? When are you getting married, Nick? You're not getting any younger, you know," she said, teasing him. "So, we want to remind you. We were just discussing how you need to settle down and start a family, we could get you a very beautiful classy woman. Your mother and I have good tastes, we would give you the best and fix the wedding date. What do you think? "Nick chuckled, shaking his head. "I think I can handle my own love life,

Emery nodded, She felt peace wash over And couldn't be any more grateful than she is now. With that, Emery put the car in gear and pulled out of the driveway. The howling sound of the engine graced her heart with joy, “Woo-hoo..” I love this! Emery drove slowly around the block, getting a feeling she hasn't had for so long. Just after a few minutes, she pulled back into the driveway and then turned off the engine. “I can see you are really enjoying yourself,” Darren stated as soon as she got out of the car. He could tell from the big smile on her face that she was having fun."It was amazing!" she exclaimed, turning to Darren. "The car is incredible, more like they sport car of my dreams,"Just as Emery was about to say something more to Darren, a maid appeared at the doorway. "Excuse me, sir," she said,"Lunch is ready."Darren nodded, giving a dismissive wave "We'll be right there."Emery shook her head. "I guess i'm not hungry," Darren raised an eyebrow. "You're not hungry?" he
