Inga’s frustration was palpable as the meeting wrapped up, her proposal dismissed in favor of the plan
backed by Emma and Wayne. She couldn’t fathom the group’s readiness to align with Emma’s bold
strategy, disregarding her own ideas.
“It’s decided. We’ll pursue Emma’s project,” Wayne announced firmly, finalizing the decision. While
others appeared content, Inga’s discontent was unmistakable as they dispersed.
Wayne asked Emma to stay behind, expressing his surprise at her assertive stance. “I didn’t expect
you to revisit this project. Are you sure about challenging Alex this way?”
Emma’s resolve was unmistakable. “It’s time to claim what’s rightfully mine. Alex has benefited enough
from me. This project will be a lesson he won’t forget.”
Wayne acknowledged her determination with a nod. “I’ll set things in motion. By the way, your brother NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
announced his comeback tour today. He’s clearly missing you.”
Emma’s mood lightened. “Really? But he called you first? I’ll have to talk to him myself.”
Wayne chuckled. “He might not be too pleased about reserving tickets for you. You should reach out
directly.”
Emma, though hesitant, agreed. Her brother’s temper was well-known, and she braced herself for a
scolding about her past decisions, now seen in a different light.
Wayne’s laughter filled the conference room, drawing curious looks from the staff. Emma’s playful
threats to silence him only fueled his amusement.
“Go on, call him. Better to face it sooner than later,” Wayne encouraged her.
Emma left his office, noticing the project’s official announcement on their website. Wow, so soon? She
smiled to herself as she walked to her office. The subtle wording masked the aggressive move, but the
industry would understand the implications.
Settling into her office, Emma prepared herself for the call to her brother. His delayed response and
initial outburst were as expected, but she found comfort in the familiarity of his fiery temperament.
Emma’s laughter amidst her brother’s tirade was heard in the next office, showcasing her growing
comfort in facing her family’s dynamics and asserting her position in the business world. This marked a
remarkable shift in her character as she willingly embraced challenges with a newfound sense of
confidence and resilience.
