Emberly took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. The trust and confidence in Edward's eyes were unwavering, and she couldn't bring herself to disappoint him.
"Alright," she said finally, her voice firm despite the turmoil within her.
"I'll take on the project." She agreed and Edward's smile widened, a look of relief washing over his features. "Thank you, Emberly. I knew I could count on you."
As they discussed the details of the project, Emberly couldn't help but think about Alexander.
She wondered how their paths would cross in the coming weeks, and whether she could keep her emotions in check. It was going to be a challenge, but she was determined to prove herself.
When the meeting concluded, Edward stood and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"You'll do great, Emberly. Just remember to stay focused."
She nodded, offering him a faint smile.
"I will, Uncle Edward." She assured.
