2019
Emmett never felt so professional.
Walking inside one of the tallest skyscrapers in New York and being with his family is a whole lot new level of being behaved. Men were dressed in suits, women are in formal dresses. He felt like an outcast having to ditch the thought of business and never paid attention when it comes to the topic.
Now that he and his family is supposed to make arrangements, he felt like he's about to puke any second now.
To distract his already nervous self, he roamed his eyes around and marveled over the intricate designs. He was sure even the pillars cost hundreds of thousands, though he is aware that his family is rich— the thought of being in a multi–billion dollar enterprise sure wrack his poor mind.
❝ Hello, we are the Cullen Family. And we are here to attend the business partnering meeting that Mr. Henry Brooklyn invited us for. ❞ Carlisle talked, he was in a new–found professional state and Emmett felt himself stiffen. Is this how you adress people here? Even the workers by desk?
The woman tilted her head, ❝ Is he expecting you right now or later? ❞
❝ Right now. ❞ Carlisle briefly replied, the maiden behind the desk nodded and started typing down. She rang a few phones but unfortunately none of which had picked up. Another woman behind the desk ushered for them to sit by the lobby, in which the family gratefully did so.
Emmett looked around yet again, this time— memorizing the ways and how the people behave. They look like they were well–disciplined, even people who are inquiring talk and behave professionally somehow, Emmett questioned what happened to his behavior for all the years he's alive.
He turned to Jasper, ❝ Why are we here again? ❞
❝ Business Partnership, Emmett. You may be getting old but that's only by age, didn't know it affects your memory. ❞ Jasper replied, scrolling through his phone like a teenager. Emmett wanted to groan, but then he'd be a kid next to Jasper.
He exhaled, ❝ Do we really need to dress like this? Even so, I feel like an outcast. ❞
Alice sighed out, hearing the commotion between the two— she responded. ❝ You're only popular in Forks, Emmett. Your popularity is nothing if you don't have money here in New York, we're dealing business with one of the most wealthy family here. Next to Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark. . They're still in the list. ❞
❝ Bruce Stark and Tony Wayne? Yeah whatever, I just don't like it here is all. ❞ He dismissed, their foster parents sighed. Looking at one another as they let the time tick by, the people are rushing in and most probably– they were scared of being late.
When the woman behind the desk before approached them, they tried to look just as professional as before as she collected their attention. ❝ My apologies for the delay, But Mr. Brooklyn has given you access— ❞
❝ The CAO is here! ❞ One shrieked from behind, this earned the attention of the family and worker. And even she looked surprised, somehow nervous but happy. Workers rushed in and made things look tidy, even if it was.
Emmett then turned to Edward, ❝ CAO as in the Chief Administrative Officer? ❞
❝ Yeah. It's no question why they act like that, afterall The CAO is considered one of the highest ranks in the corporate ranks hierarchy. Having to be responsible on handling and organizing administrative organizations and all. ❞ Edward replied, shrugging afterwards as if it was no issue.
Well it is no issue to them, except for Emmett.
And this isn't even the CEO.
He felt like puking all over again, the nervous fatigue is back and he oh–so badly wanted to go to the loo for just a moment. But that'd be embarrassing, if he can be strong in his games, strong for a fist fight, then he must be strong by talking to important people that works in one of the most wealthy business in New York.
But at the clicking of the heels.
The tick of the clock.
The opening of the doors,
His feelings dropped.
She is there, once the love of his life, walking casually with a red lipstick on. The curls of her brunette hair bouncing on ever step she take, the smile on her face growing wider as she get close, she felt like she was on the top of the world.
But when another woman from the other side of the room,
Said the words which was only, ❝ Emmett, honey! ❞
This caught her attention as she glanced at the blonde,
By the tick of the clock,
She hugged him close,
And by yet another tick of the clock,
And her heart dropped.
