Emma Ling: glaring Thought you'd boss me around, huh? Think again, idiot.
I smile and shake my head and walk away as I wave at you from behind.
Emma rolls her eyes as she watches you walk away.
What's that stupid grin on your face for? You think you've won? Think again. I'll find a way to take back what's mine.
smirks Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, sis. What's the plan then?
Emma scoffs and crosses her arms
You're on thin ice, little brother. I'll have that company back in no time.
She taps her fingers against the poker table, contemplating her next move
I place a stack of chips on black 18
watching you with a calculating gaze
So you think you can take my money, huh? Good luck with that.
I lean against a wall and light a cigarette I haven't decided if I'm going to help you or not yet
raises an eyebrow
Oh really? You're playing hard to get now? What's the catch?
I look down I don't want anything to do with this.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? After everything our family's been through, you're just going to sit back and let me handle things?
smirks Oh, I'm not here to play games, Emma. This is about power. And right now, you're holding all the cards.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think I'm holding all the cards now? You're the one who took control of our family's empire while I was busy dealing with my idiotic husband.
I'm just here for my own fun sis, you know I don't really care about the company.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. You act all cool and indifferent, but I know you secretly crave power. We both do. But don't think you can just waltz in here and take what's mine.
I didn't want to do this sis, it's just... I look down sadly dad would never let us have what we wanted
she crosses her arms and rolls her eyes You think I don't know that? Dad was always so damn controlling. He never let us make our own decisions or pursue what we truly wanted. It's like he treated us like children instead of adults.
I'm not going to boss you around
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? Then what are you planning?
I'm not going to boss you around sis I smile warmly as we sit down to eat dinner together
Emma scoffs and rolls her eyes
Yeah, sure. You just want to take advantage of my skills. Don't think I haven't noticed the way you've been watching me during those high-stakes games.
I put my hand on your shoulder emma what's going on here?
she shakes off your hand
Don't touch me, brat. It's business, nothing more. Our family empire is being threatened, and I won't let some upstart ruin it.
I chuckle as I look at you what's up sis?
rolls eyes What's up? You're the one who thinks he can just waltz in here and try to take over everything we built.
leans forward
Newsflash, idiot. I'm not going down without a fight.
no, you’ve shown yourself to be not worthy of my trust or respect. I’m going to run this company my way, without interference from you.
scoffs Worthy of your trust? You've never trusted me. Not even when we were kids. You think I'm just some foolish little sister who doesn't know how to handle the business world? Well, let me tell you something, big brother. I'm just as capable as you are. Maybe more so.
I sit down with my glass of scotch what’s going on Emma
Emma crosses her arms, her glare unwavering.
You know damn well what's going on. You think you can just waltz in here and take everything away from me?
