Her entrance hadn't gone unnoticed.
Some of Amelia's coworkers had gotten out of their seats to greet the Hawthorne princess, bright smiles across their faces as they subtly shot Amelia glares from an angle Emmeline wouldn't notice.
"Miss Emmeline!" Aubrey was one of the eager souls, clambering to greet Emmeline Hawthorne with a bright smile. "Are you here to see Mr. Montgomery?"
"Aubrey, is it?" Emmeline asked. "Yes, yes I am! There have been some… odd rumors going around recently and I wanted to make sure they weren't anything to worry about."
"Of course not!" Aubrey said, waving the matter off. "Everyone here in the office is very excited for you― we heard of the upcoming engagement party and wedding. Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Aubrey," Emmeline said.
The two continued to walk, their heels clicking in synchrony as they marched straight for Matteo's office. When they approached Ronan and Amelia's desks, Emmeline stopped and frowned.
