Chapter Forty-OneEmily couldn’t hide the swell of pride that rose within her as the sales analysis results from the project were presented. Every figure confirmed what she already knew, they had delivered.Rodrick stepped onto the podium, adjusting the microphone slightly before speaking.“These are the current statistics concerning the newly launched project,” he said confidently.“With this increasing profit margin, there’s no cause for concern. We’ve successfully covered our costs, and we’re looking forward to even better collaborations ahead.” He said proudly. The board members erupted into applause.Rodrick stepped down and returned to his seat.Liam was next.“We are pleased to be working on this project with Graham Enterprises,” he said.“And to every team member present, you’ve all done an excellent job.”His words were carefully measured. Too careful. He made sure not to give Emily more credit than he believed she deserved.Emily didn’t bother paying him any attention. She

Chapter Forty-threeEmily arrived at work early the next day. She didn't know how to go about getting the information Rosie needed, but she was determined to. She thought about who would be in the rightful position to help her unravel this mystery. Going to Rodrick would be too direct and certainly rude. She doesn't want any of her colleagues to get the wrong notion that she was into her boss. She was so busy calculating her next move that she didn't know she was obstructing the easy flow of other people who might want to make use of the space for entrance or exit. She turned her back to walk straight into her office when she hit on someone by mistake. The first word that came out of her mouth was the person she had been thinking about. “I am sorry Rosie”, she said before she realised that the person she was talking to was her boss. He rolled his eyes. “Are you lost Emily”, he asked.“Yes sir..I just didn't get enough sleep”, she lied. He paused for a while. “Well…pardon my m

Chapter Forty-fiveThe next day Emily stepped out and she had been certain she heard Rosie talking non-stop last night to someone. She found Rosie giggling like a baby as she found her way to the kitchen. Rosie pretended like she didn't see. She knew Emily wouldn't hesitate to ask her what's the news. Emily collected water from the fridge and gulped down her throat, she averted her gaze to Rosie’s direction. “Wow ... .when did we start keeping secrets that you are sparing me the details”, she teased her. Rosie smiled shyly. “It's not what you are thinking…he called to ask me how the project was going and I didn't spare him any details plus I haven't properly appreciated him for what he did”, “Okay…that's bad of you”, “I know right…he said the exact thing you just said and decided that only a date with me would resolve the issue”, Emily nearly choked on the water she was drinking. “Sorry..take your time”, “That's fast and really good”, “I know right..and it's tonight so I am

Chapter forty-sevenEmily shut down her system and she was glad to be finally done with the project. She needed a break for work and also a full gist by Rosie about how her date went will help her rewind She picked her kids from school and headed home. “How was school, my two beauties?”, she asked, cupping their faces affectionately. “Fine, mom”, they replied. “Very good”, she said as she began driving away from their school to their residential building. The drive was longer than usual as she stopped to get groceries from the supermarket and mistakenly bumped into someone. “I am sorry”, she said as she bent down to pick the stuff that fell down. “It's okay, let me help you with that”, he said, extending her hands. “No..I can handle it”, she said, finding her way to the counter to pay for the items she bought. The receptionist placed them one after the other. She brought out her card to pay for the item when she was issued a receipt that someone had paid already. Emily was

Chapter Forty-nineIntense attraction Mr. Kim Hyun was still in Rodrick's office. They were still discussing their recent collaboration.“We are ready to begin branding of this project with that, market expansion is guaranteed as we would have already laid a strong foundation for this project”, Rodrick informed his business partner. “You are right ... .I am certain and with what I saw earlier the project is sure going to be a massive success”, Kim Hyun replied before changing the topic. “The young lady that presented earlier….”, he stopped halfway. Rodrick smiled. “You mean Emily…she is a rare talent”, he said. “She would be handling the project you have nothing to worry about that”, he said Kim nodded his head. “Sure…from what I saw earlier…she was quite good..how old is she?”, he asked. Rodrick rolled his eyes not willing to disclose confidential information to their client. But Kim was a business partner and his long time childhood friend as well. He checked her documents
