Chapter 233: More Choices
Emily Molson’s guide on how to deal with life after making the monumental mistake of kissing your boss. That would have been the title of her memoir if she were ever to write one. And unlike all of the other imaginary books that Emily had written.
Especially when it came to Derek, she was certain that were this one ever to reach publication. Then it would be flying off the shelves. Selling like candy on Halloween.
But unfortunately for Emily, she was not writing a book about that, let alone releasing it. Instead she was busy living the nightmare of going on with life. After setting her career on fire by kissing her boss and not just any boss. Maybe if she had kissed a manager or a director she would have been able to dust herself off. To find someplace else to work and keep moving.
But Emily, always an overachiever, had gone for the top dog. She had kissed none other than the CEO himself.
The well-connected, extremely powerful CEO.
Who was not just well known in the business world. But also came from a family that had a lot of pull in all aspects of life. Old money going back several generations.
If Derek decided that she had gone too far, and wanted to bury her for this. Then there would be nothing that Emily could do other than stepping into her grave all by herself. And getting comfortable as he made sure that she never worked anywhere else again, let alone manage to have a conversation with anybody who wanted to be anyone in life. That was the type of mess that Emily had created in giving in to instinct, and just kissing Derek without a second thought.
But all was not lost. Emily still had options.
They might not have been great options but they were choices nonetheless. Since she had cut off the whole nun or farmer thing, a few more choices had popped up. Number one, she could pack a bag, grab a passport and head overseas. Then once she got abroad she could change her name into something very different from Emily.
