It's been two weeks from the time when Naomi met Emily in not so good status. It's been a week since Emily moved to Naomi's house. And it's been two hours since Naomi kept on bugging Emily's room because Emily won't wake up.
"Jesus fucking Christ!" Naomi still knocking on Emily's room. "Emily, please wake up. We do have some schedule today."
The door swung open and she straight away saw a sleepy Emily who rubs her eyes in front of her. After opening the door Emily swiftly went back to bed to doze for the second time.
"What the-"Naomi rush inside Emily's room. "Hey. You need to get ready; we will have a lunch meeting with potential investors." Naomi put her hands on her hips whilst giving out some deafening homily to Emily's ears. She still didn't hear anything from the red-head. She pulls down the duvet and grabbed Emily's arm. "You need to wake up or else I'll bring the fucking shower here in your bed."
Emily rose up, still with those sleepy eyes. "Is that your way to say good morning?" Emily pulls the duvet back which made Naomi burst out. Emily doesn't have any plans of getting up from her comfortable bed.
"Bloody hell you're so difficult." Naomi pinches the bridge of her nose. She needs to calm down and she doesn't want to ruin her morning. "I've tried many times Emily to wake you up. So please, be considerate. We both have meetings."
"You fucking gave me tons of papers to read, study and review. What do you expect me to do with those documents? Stare? I read all of them, piece by piece until 4 o'clock in the morning whilst you were bloody dreaming." Emily rose up from her bed and crosses her arms against her chest facing Naomi. "I just got two hours of sleep, how can I survive for the entire stressful day? You didn't even bother to ask me if I can finish all of those shitty craps in just one night."
"It's your problem how you can finish understanding all of those papers. You kept on watching TV all night long before you lay a hand on those important documents I provided you." She does not really like this kind of argument with Emily. She do have a point because she provided Emily those documents early that night and Emily do have enough time to finish reading it, but on the other hand, she felt a bit pang of guilt because she can clearly see Emily's eyes surrounded by dark circles. "You need to prepare. Breakfast in 20 minutes. I'll wait downstairs. " Naomi made her way downstairs to give Emily ample time to prepare herself.
"I fucking hate you!" Emily forcefully slammed the door close when Naomi went downstairs. She cannot believe she's suffering from lack of sleep whilst when she was in their house she can sleep nonstop. "I can't believe this!"
After Emily studied herself in the mirror and noticed that she looks pretty good on her simple white dress, she went downstairs to grab some breakfast. Whilst making her way to the dining area, she saw Naomi playing her necklace with cross pendant encircled by a white gold ring around her neck. She's looking at her for quite some time, she's looking at Naomi, no, she's staring at Naomi who's standing against the door directed to the pool.
Naomi turns around when she felt Emily's presence. She caught the red-head staring at her. "Seeing something you like?" she grins to Emily.
"Shut up." Emily walks to the right side of the table and occupied the chair, grab some bread and coffee in front of her. "Done already?" she asks Naomi without gazing. She continues taking her breakfast.
"Yeah, would you like to have some bacon?" the blonde offers whilst making her way to the vacant seat next to Emily.
"No, it's fine. I'm not used eating breakfast alone." She said bluntly.
Naomi glances at her. She grabs some hotdogs and bread and eats. "I'm still hungry." She lied.
"Liar. Bitch." Emily smirks. She keeps on having small talk with the blonde without glancing Naomi even for a quick second. She knew Naomi's done with her breakfast earlier because she heard sounds of utensils chattering when she was still inside her room preparing. "I'll just finish this cup of coffee then we'll go. Sorry I woke up late and it's your fucking fault." She sips and then flickers many times. She still doesn't like the feeling of her tired sleepy eyes.
"It's not my fault, you were not responsible enough to handle or adjust your time. Time management." Emily just shrugs her shoulders.
They continue having their breakfast together without throwing ironic comments to each other. They can be very calm if they're having meals together. Aside from that, it's war. Always.

"Do I fucking need to denote this?" Emily keeps on ranting inside Naomi's car. She's actually nervous. Naomi instructed her that she needs to up sell those infrastructure to influence their potential clients to invest. "Bloody hell, why you didn't tell me that I am the one who's going to give details about this? You're pressuring me." She keeps turning the pages to scrutinize some significant details.
"They want and need explicit explanation. You need to present it fully." She stirred the wheel to park her car at the basement of the company. "We're here."
Emily feels like she's about to faint. They still have three hours left before the meeting and she's having blurry surroundings because of nervousness.
"Is she taking it seriously now?" Naomi asks herself. She never saw Emily that serious to the point that she will keep on asking some important details from her. She knows she will bring out the best in Emily's being. She can say Emily is clever, Emily just don't want to make it obvious. They walk together inside the elevator. She glances at Emily who's still putting up some good convincing words.
"What the fuck, what about this?" Emily motions a piece of paper in front of Naomi whilst the elevator is making its way up to the tenth floor where their office is located. They're sharing since Jenna wanted to keep track on Emily's whereabouts. "Shit I think I'll pass out." She softly whispers but still Naomi heard it.
"Em." The red-head turns her head in Naomi's direction. She loves the new nickname.
"Yeah?"
"I'm there, okay? You'll be fine. I'm sure." Naomi gave her a soft smile making her heartbeat a little bit faster than the usual. "You can do it. I do believe in you."
"Thanks." She read again the proposal and let out a small cute smile from her lips.
"It's nothing. Come on then." They went straight to their office before making their way to Jenna's room. They put their portfolios in place, grab some other important papers. "We need to consult Mrs. Fitch. Let's go." Emily follows Naomi's track, still feeling so nervous.
Naomi knocks three times before she heard Jenna's voice. They both went inside but Emily still have some hesitations to talk to her mum after she froze Emily's account and making her live with Naomi. She still does have some pain from what happened last week.
"Good morning, Mrs. Fitch." Naomi greeted the President. She gazes at Emily who's not moving a single muscle.
"Good morning, Naomi. Emily?" Jenna is waiting for Emily's response. "How are you doing now? You haven't visited Katie and James at home."
"You threw me out, remember?" She means no disrespect but she still can't believe that her own mum let her live with some random person. She still can't forget that for the sake of making her learn faster, she ought to live with the Company's General Manager which is Naomi Campbell. She still does have some painful feelings towards her mother.
"Love…" Jenna wanted to make her daughter understand that she made that decision for Emily's own good.
"It's fine mum." She cut Jenna off. She doesn't want to have some endless argument with her mum regarding with that matter again. She needs to deal with it since it was already implemented. She cannot do anything about it; she's trying to adjust gradually. She knew that she will be the one who's going to take responsibility one day. Her dad, Rob, is managing their other businesses. Her twin is in Fashion Business which suits Katie's best. Her brother is still in school. "I cannot do anything about, can I?"
Jenna looks at her daughter. She wants to take her words back and let Emily do her own thing. She's studying Emily and trying to find the old Emily who wanted to follow her footsteps as a successful Business Tycoon. She remembers when Emily is still taking up Masters in Business Management. She keeps on asking Jenna how to be a powerful person regarding handling huge Businesses throughout the continent. When Jenna asked Emily if what she knows about Management, she softly chuckles at Emily's answer. "Management is the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources and natural resources. Since organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. This view opens the opportunity to 'manage' oneself, a pre-requisite to attempting to manage others." Emily answered her with matching convincing gestures. Emily was born to be a Leader. How she wish she would have her old Emily back. She was snapped out from her reminiscing when Emily told her something.
"I'm going to mess it up, the meeting I mean." Emily handed the papers to her mother. "That preparation sucks."

"You okay?" Naomi glances at her whilst they're making their way home. She just can't study Emily's expression that long because she needed not to break her attention from the slippery road whilst driving.
"Your proposal sucks. I fucking find it difficult to defend. You're the one who needs to defend that because it was your proposal at the first place." She's hissing inside Naomi's car. "Are you trying to make me look like bloody stupid in front of those shitless heads?"
"Em…" she's trying to calm Emily down.
"You shut up! I feel like you're trying to sabotage the plan. First, you didn't tell me that I will present that crap in front of them and try to pursue those investors. Second, you kept on demanding things from me like finishing all course work in one fucking day."
"Em…" Naomi's still trying to get her attention.
"What?" she exclaimed.
"We got it." She glances at the red-head. "They were pretty amazed the way you deliver those sales, feasibility and market exchange percentage. You were excellent. Kudos!"
"What did you say?" she cannot fathom those words which Naomi releases. "We fucking what?"
"We got the deal. The Project Department is now busy planning the start date." She stares at Emily, smiling. "Why do I need to hear all those curses you're throwing at me every day?"
"Erm." The red-head cannot find her tongue to reason out. She wanted to jump because of happiness, she can't believe it. She got the deal. They got the deal. She was pretty incredible.
"Em?"
"Because you're a cow." She said bluntly. But deep inside she wanted to hug every person she can. She just can't show it. She's fucking happy!
"Yeah, right." Naomi pouted her lips for disapproval. "Fancy eating Italian food?"
"And what fucking restaurant would that be?" it was Emily.
Naomi grins widely. "I know some place."
"Fuck it, come on then. I'm starving." Emily gave Naomi those words as a signal of approving to have early dinner with the blonde. "Be sure I'll like the place, if not you will cook breakfast for the rest of the month."
"And if you will love it?"
Emily looks at her and says "I will cook dinner for you… with poison of course for the rest of the month."
"Bad. Mean." Naomi loudly laughs inside the car. "Deal is close."
"Bitch." Emily utters.
"Yeah right, midget."
"Whatever. Cow." Emily tore away her gaze at the road and let out a small smile. Little did she know, Naomi can see her reflection in the car window.
And there you go again.
