A sudden thought struck her.Her father’s old office and of course, the old store room. Emery contemplating, she had been there with Zylar and the last time, she didn't find anything but Margaret showed up out of the blues. It has been a decade since she had set her foot in the old foot, the last time had made it the first.After her first visit, Emery felt that the old office had been cleared out after his death, “Margaret walked in there searching for something, What if something had been left behind? Some hidden file, a safe, a deposit box key?” she mumbled beneath her breath.“Winnie, what are you saying? Why are you whispering?” 2Ted question snapped her out of her thoughts. She had totally forgotten that he was right in her office. Emery smiled, “A few minutes ago I got a disturbing call from my father, he wants me to quit my Job here.” She lied. Her voice was laced with sorrow. Ted locked his gaze with hers, “If I was your father I would ask you to do the same. I'm sure he h

A similar scene flashed before her eyes, this was the scene where she and Zylar came searching her father's old office. The thought made Emery smile. The only difference now was that she was in the storage room. Walking fully into the old deserted place, she let out a sneeze. It felt like her chest was about to be forced Open, this was due to the dusty environment. “So much dust,” she muttered, wondering how she could find what she came for.A thought flashed before her eyes, she pulled out her handkerchief and draped it on her face below her eyes. “She would do,” she grinned, her voice sounding muffled by the littles piece of cloth. The handkerchief would help prevent dust from slipping into her nostrils while she undergoes the search. “It's time to get to work.” She said with a determined tune. She had to be quick before anyone notices her absence. After all, as Winnie , she had taken an hour break but looking at the current situation at hand, she felt it would take a longer time

Now it was her duty to protect what her mother had endowed to her care. The next morning, Emery took permission from Darren. She had missed her apartment and Amelia's company. Since she wasn't going to work, it was best to spend quality time with her best friend.Emery’s apartment buzzed with activity. “What! Really? That's something so big!” Emery laughed, she took three eggs from the crate. Breaking it into the plate she whisked it vigorously, it became very foamy. After this, Emery poured a small amount of oil into the frying pan and fried the egg. The aroma was so pleasant. Amelia was on and on about her working environment, “Trust me, right now I feel very intimidated by her.” Amelia continued. Emery laughed as she turned the other side of the egg. “So what do you plan to do now?” “Girl, I don't know. If she dared mess up, I will shoot her long beautiful legs.” Emery couldn't hold in her laugh, “You are so pissed with her legs not her, why do I smell jealousy?” Emery said sn

A red lastest Maserati pulled over into the mansion. A lady almost six feet tall got out of her car, she stared at the mansion ahead and smiled.She got a grand welcome from the maids and servants as she made her way into the mansion. The aloofness around her couldn't be described.“Auntie, you've been less busy these past few days.” Margaret niece said, she made her way gracefully into the mansion.She wore a prefectly fitted red silk gown with a V-line. Her blonde hair packed in a ponytail outlined her beautiful face and her shoulders.Her full lips painted in red, showwd her delicate and soft they were. “Ofcourse my darling, Auntie is getting her revenge and I'm leaving a deep scar the world would never forget.” She said proudly, she stood to her feet with wide open.She hugged her niece tightly, “What a good scent of perfume, my darling is so classy.” She praised.Margaret's niece chuckled, “I'm here to watch the fun. I won't want to miss a thing.”Both women let out a loud laug

“Because it’s wrong, they did nothing against me,” Emery snapped. “I don’t want to stoop to this level.”Amelia understood the angle her best friend was speaking from. But after thinking about it deeply, she had to admit, this would help her friend. “Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire,” Amelia said softly. “Just think about it, okay?”Emery hung up, her mind no clearer than before. That night, she dreamed of her father, her first true love, the man who’d built their company from the ground up, only to have it stolen from him by the very people he trusted and cared about. Yes, he had betrayed Her mother and her but all her childhood memories of him had been the best. Regardless of his infidelity, he still remained a good father. She saw his disappointment, and felt the weight of his unspoken expectations.When she woke, the decision was made.The next time she met Darren, it was in his private office, a sleek, glass-walled room that overlooked the city skyline.
