Emison: From the Beginning

Chapter 26: Smile & Nod!

It's Saturday afternoon and Caroline and Emily are walking towards the front door of their house.

Caroline: We'll see you guys later.

They walk out of the house and towards Caroline's all white Range rover.

Emily: I'll be right back.

Caroline: Okay.

Caroline stands in the driveway. Emily walks over to Alison's house but before she could knock on the door, Alison opens the door with her dirty blonde hair in a high ponytail wearing dark blue skinny jeans with a white short sleeved button up with dark blue flowers on it and a black leather jacket.

Emily: Hey!

Alison: Hi babe!

Alison leans in and gives Emily a kiss on the lips.

Emily: That's my sister over there.

Emily points to Caroline across the street who's wearing all white with black Steve Madden's and her hair straight with a bang. Caroline waves and Alison waves back.

Alison: Come in for a sec.

Emily and Alison walk in the kitchen.

Emily: Where are your shoes?

Alison: Upstairs. I'll be right back.

Alison runs upstairs to find her shoes. Emily sits at the kitchen table as Mrs. D walks in.

Emily: Hi Mrs. D!

Emily gets up and hugs Mrs. D.

Mrs. D: How are you honey?

Emily: I'm great. You?

Mrs. D: I'm okay. A little tired.

Emily: Why?

Mrs. D: Work.

Emily: What do you do?

Mrs. D: I am a stock broker!

Emily: Wow, what's it like?

Mrs. D: Have you seen the movie Wolf of Wall Street?

Emily: Yup.

Mrs. D: It's like that. Except everything I do is legal. And I'm not a drug addict. And I don't have sex with a lot of women.

Emily starts laughing. Mrs. D smiles and walks over to the fridge.

Mrs. D: And watching the stocks not knowing whether or not it's going plummet or sky rocket, it's crazy and very intense most of the time.

Emily: That's super risky.

Mrs. D: Yeah, but if you understand it all, you can sometimes predict a stock. It's like betting on a basketball game. Sometimes you can tell right off the bat if a team will win or not but just because a team loses by sixty points one night doesn't mean they can't win by sixty points the next night.

Jason walks down the steps and into the kitchen.

Emily: Have you ever had a bad investment?

Jason: Hey!

Emily: Hi Jason!

Jason: Is that your sister outside in front of that car?

Emily: Yeah!

Jason grabs a water from the fridge and walks outside.

Mrs. D: All the best stock brokers do. It's makes you smarter in terms of investing.
