As soon as the dinner starts, I gave my full attention to my plate because I just want to avoid Caleb's gaze. I don't know why his presence is effecting me so much.

"Emily concentrate on these delicious food". I told myself.

When I was so busy in enjoying my dinner, I heard my name which I gladly ignored as I was taking another spoonful of spaghetti in my mouth.

"Emily. Are you here"? I got startled by Michael's voice beside me.

"Oh! jeez. You scared me Michael". I said while drinking some water.

"People here are trying to talk to you kiddo. While you are busy in your food".  He said to me.

"Oh I am sorry. Who was talking to me"? I asked innocently.

"Seriously Emily you didn't heard who was calling you". Sophie asked me.

"No. You know Soph. Sometimes I get so lost in my food that I don't acknowledge others". I told her.

"Well. Isabelle was calling you". She said while rolling her eyes.

All this time Caleb was watching me with an amused expression on his face.

"I am sorry Isabelle". I apologized to her.

"It's okay Em. I hope I can call you Em and call me belle". She replied sweetly.

"Sure". I told her.

"Sophie is Michael's secretary but what about you"? She asked.

"I am COO in our company". I told her while taking another bite.

"So you are a businesswoman. I am a fashion designer by the way". She said to me.

"Good". I replied her with a nod.

"Dad you said you will tell about the business partnership". Caleb said to his dad. It seems like he rarely smiles. I didn't saw his smile since he came. He is really a  cold person.

"Me and Jamie decided we want to build a five star hotel and a Resort under our partnership. Both in New York". Adam uncle informed us about the partnership.

"So what you guys think about it" ? Dad asked  us .

"It's a good idea considering both companies name  in business wolrd". I gave my opinion.

"She is right". Caleb said looking directly at me.

"Yes Emily is right dad. It will benefit both parties". Michael said.

"Firstly, it's good that you children liked the idea as you guys are going to manage it and  Secondly, we are doing this partnership because we want to merge our names together not because of profit". Dad said.

"But still dad it's a business deal. And every deal has it's profits and losses. And we don't afford loss". I said while eating some cake.

"She is a true businesswoman jamie". Uncle Adam said to dad with a smile on his face.

"Ofcourse she is". Dad replied proudly.

"So it's done then. we can discuss about the deal tomorrow in my office. If that's okay with you Michael". Caleb said.

"I will not be the part of this business partnership. Dad I want Emily to be the head of it from our side". Michael said to dad.

"It's completely fine by me". Dad told him.

"So kiddo. Will you do it" ? Michael asked me.

"Are you sure Michael ? What if I made any mistake?" I asked him.

"You want kiddo". He said confidently.
"And Caleb is also there to help you".

"Ok then. I will do it". I replied to him a smile.

"So I'll meet you tomorrow in your office to discuss about the deal". I told Caleb.

"Ok. You can come at 11am. I'll arrange a meeting". He said while sipping his wine.

"Now close business talks and concentrate on dinner". Aunt Olivia said to us.

"Soph and Em if you guys are free, Can we meet tomorrow"? Isabelle asked us.

"Ofcourse I am free. I don't know about Em". Sophie replied to her.

"I will join you guys after the meeting". I told her.

Isabelle is beautiful as well as sweet girl. She is not arrogant as the other rich girls I have met before. Those girls behave as if whole world revolves around them. She is so pretty with her blonde hairs and hazel eyes. She is just like her mother. While Caleb is more like his father. But Uncle Adam is not cold type of person. Caleb barely spoke since the dinner started.

"I am feeling so bored with this business talks right now. Sophie tell something exciting about your life in London". Ryan said for the first time.

"Well...there is nothing exciting about my life. Getting up. Going for work. And following the same routine. But still I am glad I have my best friend with me for most of the time". She replied shyly.

"That's good". Ryan said to her.

While they were talking with each other. I observed two people are frowning. I know Michael likes Sophie so he might be jealous.  But Isabella. I think she likes Ryan.

When we finished our dinner. We went back to living room and sat for sometime. Men were talking about business and sports. Mom and aunty were busy in gossiping while me and sophie were listening to Isabelle who is describing about her passion towards fashion designing.

Soon we left there house. After saying goodbye I exchanged my number with Isabelle and Ryan.

As we reached our house I went towards my room saying goodnight to everyone. I took a shower and got dressed into my sweatpants and hoodie. I laid on the bed thinking about today's events. As soon as I closed my eyes sleep consumed me.
