Artemis POV

My office door swung open and I was ready to yell at whoever it was until I noticed that it was my older sister, Jade.

"Uncle Oliver wants to see you in his office. Now." she stated.

Before I could ask why she was already out of the room probably almost halfway down the hall. She was also so quiet and sneaky. Almost like a cat.

I sighed as I logged off of my computer and exited my office.

I walked through many hallways before reaching the door with the golden plaque titled 'Publisher'.

I knocked before entering. As soon as I walked in uncle gave me a big smile.

"Artemis! Great to see you" he said happily.

I smiled. "You too Uncle Oliver...why did you want to see me? I kinda had a lot of-"

"Work to do?" he finished whilst he raised an eyebrow.

I nodded, apparently used that phrase a lot.

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about" he started.

I held in a groan as I sat down in front of him.

"Artemis I know that you always give you best. But do you think it's best to have all work and no play? Your 24 years old for crying out loud!" he exclaimed spinning his chair for effect.

I huffed. "And your point is...?" I asked starting to lose my patience.

"My point is that you are going to the city ball tonight and you are going to have a good time and maybe even get yourself a gentleman" he declared.

"Yeah one that you would scare away..." I mumbled.

"That is all. Now you may go" he said as he returned back to his work.

I grumpily walked into the break room to see, as always, almost all of the staff in there.

"What's up with you?" Barbra asked as she sipped on her coffee.

"My dad wants me to go to the city ball tonight" I announced.

Megan sighed. "Why is it that you complain about the fun things that happen in life? It's always work, work, and work with you. And honestly its getting annoying" she admitted.

"What about you and obsessing over a guy that can barely remember your name? You shouldn't be the one talking" I hissed.

My eyes widened after realizing what I had said.

"Megan I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

She said nothing. "I'll be in my office if anyone needs me" she said quietly.

She silently threw away her lunch and stalked out of the break room.

What the hell is wrong with me?
