Meeting with Edward Melbourne
Just then, Emma interrupted.
"Nicole, your father wants to see you."
Nicole's gut tightened. What did Edward Melbourne, that father of hers want now?
" Set up a meeting with him, Emma. And tell him I'll be there in a minute".
"Okay boss, Emma said while winking.
Who would have thought that Emma was{°°}
Nicole Melbourne stood tall, her eyes flashing with determination, as she faced her father, Edward Melbourne, in his opulent office.
"I've made a decision, Nicole," Edward began, his voice firm. "We'll be accepting the investment with the Winslow's company. And I want you to get close to Tyler Winslow, make him fall for you. Our families merging will make us unstoppable."
Nicole's expression turned icy. "I decline, Mr. Melbourne," she said, her voice firm and resolute.
Edward's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Excuse me, Nicole? You'll do as I say. This is business."
Nicole's eyes blazed with defiance. "I'm not a pawn to be used in your games, Father. I'm the CEO of Melbourne Enterprises, and I won't be dictated to. I make my own decisions, and I won't compromise my values or integrity for anyone."
Edward's face reddened with anger, but Nicole stood her ground.
"Please leave, Father. I have a company to run," Nicole said, her voice calm and authoritative.
Edward's eyes narrowed, but he knew better than to push Nicole further because she was just like him. The more you pushed her, she would do the exact opposite of what you want, he turned and strode out of the office without a glimpse back, leaving Nicole to wonder what other challenges lay ahead.
