Burning flashes came left, right and center. Each bright white flash brought light to the scene in two seconds before disappearing and reappearing again and again. Atleast a hundred cameras all barricaded behind security guards and iron barriers as they desperately tried to get the perfect angle of the brown hair girl who stood at the top of the stairs

It looked like the whole city had turned out for the event tonight, the crowd was packed, people were lined all down the street far from the event itself but they were determined to be there. Ember had invited a few patients from the hospital that she knew were struggling with various things. None of them knew what they were in for

The screaming crowds whistled and clapped to show their appreciation for Ember as she waved over them

Ember smirked to herself, knowing the man made road she walked on was becoming a path set by herself

The girl pushed her hands into her pockets as she rocked back and forth on her heels, feeling her anxiety creep in as time ticked away

She was awaiting the arrival of two persons who's faces she wanted to see, especially after she breaks the new news to them

"Ms Ember! Over here!"

"Ms Atkins! What are your plans for this place!"

"Ms Atkins! Is it true that your parents aren't aware of the project?"

When the opportunity was given to her, she was ready to refuse. She was ready to throw it down the drain and kick sand into her parents eyes. She wanted nothing to do with them or the hospital built on staff's blood, sweat and tears

But then after some thinking, Ember realized it was the perfect opportunity

If money and greed was the one thing her parents wanted, then they'll surely regret placing her at the top

And she was going to make it impossible for them to remove her without it starting a war

"As many of you know, Atkins hospital had recently gone through some changes. My parents has stepped down as boards so they could devote their time, study and energy into our patients care" Ember smiled on the outside but felt sick internally, knowing that was far from the truth

They only placed her up there to avoid their faces being turned in their lawsuit. It was either Ember or them, despite the girl being their daughter, they would rather her be the one in trouble and blame it all on her being rebellious if something ever went wrong

"Our commitment to healthcare and having the best standards remains on top. My parents and I-" Ember said as she glanced away to see the vehicle she was waiting for, approaching
