Chapter 6

• But we have maids for that old man!” George, staring intensely at him, said, “Fine, I will leave.” “Emi I must say you kids are very exceptional.
• I’m the proudest and happiest dad on earth right now! You kids are doing well! Your brother exceeded his sales target by 50% in just one month of being a senior sales and marketing executive; he has been able to secure five relevant clients in this same month! These new clients alone will increase the overall revenue of the company by 20%.
• I must say he’s very good at what he does! I even want to retire now and hand the company to him, as I’m at peace that it’s in safe hands.”
• “Why didn’t you tell him all that, but instead you’re telling me! You even scolded him, Daddy! I’m sure he’s feeling bad right now!” “I don’t want it to get to his head! He’s a man now; he has to be tough!”
• Having been eavesdropping on the conversation between Emily and his dad, he heard everything and smiled as he made his way downstairs.
• Ever since he completed college and started working at the company, his dad became a bit tough on him.
• He gets that he’s a man and Emily is a woman, so she has to be treated with care unlike him, who might be the next president after his dad.
• Emily has never had much interest in the family business; she always wanted to study law and have her law firm where she can serve everyone equally, not by social standards.
• She had to work at the company just to make her dad happy, and she was good at the company.
• Ever since they were kids, their parents had loved each other and them equally; no one has ever felt neglected.
• “Alright, love, I have to get going; I have an important meeting with the board.
• I still will give you a gift no matter what! Just do your best. You always wanted to do this, and here you are; you were born for this! Go do your best, ciao!”.
• “Alright, Dad, thank you for believing in me, and also you look dashing as always. Alright, I have to get ready too. Love you, ciao! Hehehe.”
• Because of the trial, she hasn’t had a single sleep. Done bathing, she had her phone chime with a notification. She walked towards the bedside stand to check, only to see a message from an unknown person.
• “Hey, are you good? I heard today it is your first trial at school; as always, you are very competitive and good at what you set your mind on.
• I’m rooting for you, and I know you will win just like in old times. Good luck!”
• “Who is this person? Why did he or she not add a name? This text sounds like someone familiar; who? Hmmm… “
• Thinking so hard, she had concluded it might be someone she knew; she thought of it being Steven but quickly erased that thought, interrupted by her thoughts.
• Felicia FaceTimed her; picking up, she said, Ouu! What do we have here, the youngest female CEO? You look stunning, Fel. “Thank you.” Hahaha, they laughed.
• “You told me yesterday that you won’t be able to call me to wish me luck for I go for trial, so?” She asked.
• “I said that, but I didn’t want to be left out, as I had assumed everyone would wish you well.
• I don’t want to be left out. So to secure my spot as the best friend, I called the meeting an hour before your trial, but I finished earlier than expected.”
• “ Oh wow, look who is sounding mature now… Hahaha, I have an hour left to get ready; let’s talk more after I win, okay?” “Alright, but a quick question: how did you manage to get a trial as an intern? What did you do this time around? And what are the conditions if you don’t win? Come on, spill!” She said that jokingly.
• She knew her friend very well. She could tell she was in trouble.
• It was impressive to have her first trial in the first year of law school, as an intern she knew it came with a price.
• “Alright, fine! I can’t give details —due to the client's confidentiality and all—but I can say the client is a big deal. But she has been charged with attempted murder.
• The case was handed to our team, but the senior attorney is such a jerk. He won’t listen to the client — he’s already decided she’s guilty. The way he keeps pushing it makes her look bad.”
