Once Upon A Dare

Chapter 10

"Sorry I'm late",Emma said a little out of breath as she opened the door hastily...."Oppss"she smiled sheepishly she thought she's just meeting Rebecca and the new team so she didn't mind a proper entrance but her eyes gaze at two unfamiliar person in the room,one is seating directly in front of her while the other one immediately stood up upon seeing her,scratching her head as she bites her lower lip,her eyes scans for Rebecca.When she saw her she wave her hand awkwardly and mouth "I'm sorry"😅.

"Thank goodness Emma,(sigh of relief) finally you're here!",Rebecca beamed rising from her seat.

"Everyone,I want you to...."before Rebecca could finish Kath beat her.

"...Emma?"Katherine blurted in shock.She tries to rub her eyes incase she's just imagining things but no, the one standing in front of them is none other than Emma Swan.At this point Katherine was more worried than surprise one thing came to her mind was Regina, how would she react to this.

Emma's head turns slightly to the side puzzled,the folds forming in between her eyebrows says it all.

She knows me?

Emma looked at the other lady that was sitting directly opposite to where she is standing,she was a lot more compose but she bears the same look on her face.The only difference is that the way the woman stares at her sends a familiar chills to her.

Does anyone care to explain what exactly is going on?Emma screaming in her mind.

The rising tension in the room was broken when Julian walked into the room

"Ms. Mills you called?....he turns his head and saw Emma he took a step back surprised to see the honey blonde beauty, "Emma you'r....what?what are you doing....wait you came baaaack?!",Julian was caught between his words he felt the awkardness and tension circling the entire room so he decided it is much better for him to leave..

"A.ah...I..I think I'll come back later"he laughed clapping his hands like it was a brilliant idea..

"N-no",Regina release a deep breath then continued speaking."Julian,they are our"she clears her throat "our new marketing team,I want you to give them a tour of the company and make sure they settle well in their new office"

"Yes Ms. Mills",he signals the others to follow him.

After Julian and the new staffs left,the tension resurface ....

"Becs what is this?",Katherine tries to speak calmly

"What is this? what??I don't have any idea why you two are making those faces?..and wait how did you knew Emma?Is there something I don't know??"Rebecca said crossing her arms.

"Why don't you ask your blonde friend over there Rebecca",Regina finally speaks up pointing at Emma.

"Emm?"

Okay this is so not what I'm expecting when I stepfoot of this building...

Emma shrugged."I have no idea what they are talking about,I don't know why they knew me but the truth is it's the first time I've ever been here"she said drawing a mocking laugh from Regina.

Something's strange here Katherine thought to herself,what Emma is saying is definitely not true but she can sense the honesty in her voice"Becs can we talk in private?"Rebecca nodded hesitantly she doesn't want to leave Emma with Regina but Emma gaves her a thumbs up saying she'll be fine.

***
With Rebecca and Katherine gone,Regina and Emma are left alone in the same room.

Okay Emma relax,just act normal normal relax...she tried to convince herself sitting a few chairs away from Regina.It flashed to her the time when she was ask to stay behind for detention.
