81 Tensions and Triumphs.

The day at Emma’s office started with a jolt. As Emma and Jada were deeply engrossed in planning

the day, Inga burst into the room without a courtesy knock, breaking the morning’s calm.

“Knocking isn’t optional, Inga,” Emma chided, her voice laced with annoyance..

Inga slightly taken aback but trying to mask it, retorted, “It slipped my mind. It’s not a big deal, is it?

Anyway, here,” she said, tossing sdocuments onto Emma’s desk in a dismissive gesture. The

papers rebounded, scattering on the floor, adding to the tense silence that followed.

Inga’s departure was met with a sharp critique from Jada, “She thinks she owns the place. Emma, why

do you put up with that:

Emma sighed, a mix of fatigue and resolve in her voice. “Ignoring her is easier than engaging in

endless conflicts. Let’s focus on what’s important.

Their conversation was interrupted by Jackson, who entered to remind Emma of her lunch

appointment. Emma, gathering her belongings, noticed Inga preparing to tag along.

“Inga, is there a reason you’re coming with us?” Emma asked, her tone neutral yet probing.

Inga, misinterpreting Emma’s query as a sign of insecurity, smirked. “I’m just ensuring the company’s

best interests are represented. I wouldn’t want our VP to get carried away by charm over substance.”

At the restaurant, the unexpected presence of Alex added another layer of complexity to the lunch.

Emma, unfazed by his presence, focused on maintaining a professional demeanor.

Tom Gelding, enchanted by Emma’s grace and professionalism, presented her with roses, unaware of

her recent divorce. Emma’s refusal of the bouquet was diplomatic yet firm.

“Thank you, Tom, but these roses might not be for me. Jada, would you like them?” Emma said, deftly

shifting the focus.

Jada accepted the flowers, but not before exchanging a knowing look with Emma. Their silent

communication spoke volumes about their bond and understanding.

Tom Gelding, trying to recover from his faux pas, expressed his desire to get to know Emma better. Her

response was a simple smile, a graceful sidestep of his advance.

Inga, unable to resist the opportunity to undermine Emma, interjected, “Emma’s quite occupied with her

VP duties. I’m sure she wouldn’t want personal distractions.”

Tom Gelding, now realizing the complexity of the situation, nodded understandingly. Alex, who had

been a silent observer, found himself reflecting on Emma’s transformation. He remembered a simpler

Emma, vastly different from the poised woman before him.

After the lunch, as Emma and Jada were leaving, Alex approached Emma hesitantly.

“Emma, about earlier…” he started.

Emma, turning to face him, replied coolly, “Alex, we’re both here for business. Please, let’s keep it that

way.”

Alex,

taken aback by her response, nodded hastily. “Of course. I was just surprised to see you here.”

Emma’s response was a faint smile, her eyes reflecting a depth Alex couldn’t decipher. As she walked

away, Alex was left to ponder the enigma that Emma had become, her effortless grace a stark contrast

to the memories he held.

In the car, Jada couldn’t help but comment, “You handled that well, especially with Inga’s constant. jabs

and Alex’s unexpected presence.”

Emma looked out the window, a thoughtful expression on her face. “It’s all part of the role, Jada. Being

VP isn’t just about making decisions; it’s about navigating these dynamics too.”

Jada nodded in agreement, her admiration for Emma growing. Emma’s ability to maintain her

composure and grace under pressure was not just a testament to her character but also a reflection of

her strength and resilience.
