Emily King, that name can be seen in headlines multiple times without the people getting bored by looking at itIf you were to ask who Emily King is many would say she is a successful business woman or a multimillionaire
To me Emily King is just a name
A name that belongs to none other than me
I am not the person they say I am, Definitely not
I'm just a regular person who happens to run a big company, But it doesnt matter right? I cannot change the labels they put upon me
I was pulled out by my thoughts when there was a sudden knock on the door and I see familiar brown eyes staring at me
"Good Morning Miss King"
"Good Morning to you too Carter what's on the agenda today?"
"You have meeting today that will be held in the conference room in 30 mins discussing the charity ball that will be held a week from now"
"Is the conference room ready?"
"Yes Miss"
"Good, thank you Carter you can head to the conference room now I'll be there in a minute"
"Yes maam"
After hearing the door being shut my office is engulfed with silence once again
Carter has been my PA for 2 years now and he has been doing a marvelous job so far, very quick minded I must say
I stood up from my chair and head out of my office and went towards the elevator to head to the meeting
I was greeted by my fellow employees once I went inside and of course greeted them back aswell
Many of my employees portray me as the strong-willed, cold, strict boss when I'm the opposite a fragile woman who lost her passion a long time
I reach the conference room with 15 minutes to spare, I went to my designated seat at the very end of the table
"Good morning miss King"
"Good morning Richard, now if everyone is here let us start the meeting early then shall we?"
a couple of yes' and okay's were heard and it was all it took for me to start the meeting
The meeting took a bit longer than i thought it would, it was already half past lunch
while I headed out of the conference room I had a mental discussion in my head wether or not I should have lunch or not
deciding not to I walked back to my office, the telephone started riging and I went to pick it up
"Miss King"
"Yes Carter?"
"Your father has requested to meet with you at The Palace there will be a car that will pick you in 5 minutes"
(A/N: The Palace is a restaurant a fictional one, i dont know if the is a restaurant in real life named the palace, hehe)
"Thank you Carter"
Lunch it is then
I reached The Palace in 15 minutes and no it is not a palace it is a restaurant called The Palace , I thanked the driver and stepped out of the car. A guy greeted me when I went inside he looked no older than 22
"Hello mam would you like a table?" No,I want a chair
"No, reservation for Mr.King"
"Yes maam right this way" The man quickly led me to the table in which my father and mother were seated at along with two other men.
"Hello father,Hello mother"
"Hello dear you finally made it take a seat"
My mother had always been a kind person who wanted to spread joy upon others while my father was the opposite he had a cold hard exterior but on the inside was the man who would bend down to his knees for his wife. I took the vacant seat that was across to one of the gentlemen.
"Emily meet Jeffrey Cox and his wife Maria and their son Aaron the owner of Cox Industries" my father said
"Nice to meet you all of you I'm Emily"
"Hello dear I've heard so much about you on the tabloids"
"All good things I hope Mrs.Cox"
"Please,call me Maria and don't worry it was all good things"
Maria had long brown hair that reached her chest and had striking green eyes, while Jeffrey had black hair with some streaks of white hair with brown eyes, their son was just- wow he had sharp features he was a replica of his father minus the brown eyes, the wrinkles and the white streaks of hair
He took after his mother's eyes, I barely say this but this man is eye candy, sadly that's all there is to it, this man was cold and too stern reporters say
Is it true? probably so but-
"Emily?"
My father called out to me
"I asked you if you agree or not?"
"I'm sorry agree to what?"
"The marriage between you and Aaron
" What? "
