Landing in His Arms

In the conference room, Emma Hart stood to the side, engaged in her serving duties, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on the occupants, primarily Damian Sterling and Nina Waters. 

At that moment, Nina Waters' assistant was at the forefront, portraying Nina's recent surge in popularity as if she were an unsullied lotus, despite her ascent fueled by tabloid sensationalism. 

Emma understood all too well that without such a whitewashing, Nina could never have climbed the ranks, let alone attempt to align with Damian Sterling's company.

Emma observed the scene with a detached coolness, attempting to appear nonchalant as she forced her eyes to wander elsewhere—perhaps to admire the room's decor or its layout. Yet, regardless of whether she looked from the ceiling down to the walls, her gaze inevitably settled on Nina Waters' restless feet beneath the table.
