Narrator's pov

"Hell naw. Naw naw naw naw naw. Oh hell naw" someone's cellphone started ringing to the iconic meme song as they walked past the family
Ember still stood frozen with her brows stitched together, trying to process the information she was being given
"What?"
"We think it's time that you sign over to the board and represent us in the media. Your mother and I barley have enough time as it is to attend conferences and meetings as it is and our assistants are incredibly but-"
"But what?" She scoffed
"But. They're. Not. Family. Ember" the woman's voice came out cold, knowing the girl out of her little trance
"Seriously!?"
"Come on Ember, don't you want to be the head of the board?"
"No. I'm pretty good where I am"
"College? Ember, your skills are far more advanced than any teacher they have to offer in there and you know it" the man mumbled
That may have been the one thing that struck her into silence for a bit. It was true, Ember had been trained from school young age, she's more advanced than most since she was homeschooled and offered the best around the world. They've worked her tiny brain out since she was a child until she became an adult with studying business and science. Every aspect she had covered in her 20 years of living while many spend decades on decades, rotting to complete their studies
"So what? I find it- enjoyable listening to the lectures.. Again" She muttered
"You hate it there and you know it" Her father stated
Okay maybe, just a tiny bit they were right about that. She really did hate it there, the only reason the girl started college was to escape the business her parents wanted to force her into
"We won't force you to do something you're not comfortable with-"
"Like hell we are" The woman hissed, cutting her husband's words
The man furrowed his brow and turned slightly to face his wife, shooting her a strong glare that made her roll her eyes and look away
Damn daddy-
"As I was saying" he continued
"You don't have to make a decision on spot right now. Think about it, people spend their lives looking for their career. We're offering one to you and you know you've worked hard to earn it. It's right there, just take it. You won't have to complain about anything again financially. You'll have drivers, you'll meet executives. Your name will be in the media, who doesn't want that?" he asked
"My name being in the media isn't an advantage. You may think that's flattering to have private drivers and planes but I'm not someone who wants to walk on gold and flaunt money, father" The girl hissed
Frankly, their pitch was starting to fall through and Ember was losing interest
The brunette rolled her eyes and turned on her heels to walk away, regretting wasting her time in the first place
The girl was born to lead the board but pressure got to her at a young age. Work seemed like a task, being forced since she was robbed of her childhood. It was enough to turn anyone against the things they loved
"Wait!" the man's voice called out once again, stopping the girl in her tracks
"What?" she asked
