Secrets Unfold: Mated To My Enemy (Book One)

At a famous law firm the boss's secretary named Emily Emree ran around scrambling papers together for her meeting with the boss. She had to show the profits for the new projects the company was working on. Emily ran to the board room as fast as her feet would carry her. She let out a long breath as she pushed open the door and sat in her seat across from Mr.Davidson aka her boss. The room was full of staff members waiting for the boss to start the meeting. Mr.Davidson cleared his throat and said “ Now that we are all here, let’s start. We are currently working on a project to expand our business, but to do that we need to tare down the forest at the lot we bought six months ago. Emily please tell us about the profits and fees for this project”. Emily stood up from her chair and went to the projector screen to explain her slide show. “As you can see here that profits will go up over 30% by building on the lot. The downside is we don’t know what the land looks like without the trees and how the landscaping would be. Is the ground sturdy enough for buildings or will it be to expensive to fix the land to build. We need someone to scout the land and see what we are getting into before proceeding into this project. If we don’t survey the land, we wont know if its just a marsh under the trees or what kind of problems we will face.” She began. They all listened as Emily talked about the project. Emily jumped as the boss clapped his hands together “then it’s settled , you will need to survey the land and write a new report. I would like the new report for the next meeting at the end of next week” he said. “But but sir , I can’t” Emily started but was rudely interrupted by her boss. “Meeting adjourned” Mr.Davidson said as he walked out of the board meeting room. Emily scrambled her papers together as she raced off after her boss. “Mr.Davidson!!” she yelled. He stopped and looked at her with one eye brow raised. “I can’t do the surveying, I wouldn’t know what to look for “ she protested. “OH don’t be silly, you just mentioned everything to look for in the meeting. If you need to , do some research before you go. Now I must go , I have a video conference in ten minutes.”he responded. Emily stood in the hallway dumb founded. How was she supposed to go looking in the woods to survey the land? She grew up in the country and went camping all the time but this would be on unknown territory . She went to her office and called her best friend Lindsey. It only rang two times before “Hellooooooo , what’s up buttercup”. Emily smiled as she heard her friends cheery voice on the other end. “Hey girl, you know that new project my work is doing. Well my boss is making me survey the land.” Emily began. “He’s making you go on that creepy land. I heard someone went missing there like a week ago”. Emily laughed as she listened to her dramatic friend. “ That was just a rumor . I’m sure the area is fine. Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to go camping with me there this weekend? It will be like a paid vacation!” Emily squealed. “You know I’m not going to let you go camping all by yourself girl”. They said their goodbyes and Emily packed up her things and left her office. Emily got into her red impala and headed to her house on Main street. Driving down the road she passed by many large houses that looked like mansions. She always envied the people living in such luxury places. At the end of the road she pulled into her mile long drive way. At the end of the driveway was a one story , two bedroom house with only one bathroom. It was light blue with white shutters and a white door. Her favorite feature of the house was a huge bay window she often sat at to read books in the sunlight. Walking into her house she walked through the house into the kitchen. She grabbed an apple out of the fridge and grabbed her supplies. She sketched the outline of the property for the project. It was a huge land, over 5 acres of land. She would have to stay over two nights to see the whole property. She packed up camping supplies, clothes, and food. Emily went to bed thinking about what she would find on her adventure into the unknown. Emily jolted out of bed . Someone was slamming on her front door. She placed a hand over her racing heart as she headed to her front door. Emily looked out her bay window to see her best friend Lindsey. “You ready girly” Lindsey screamed through the door. Emily rolled her eyes as she looked at Lindsey's outfit. She was wearing a hoodie and jeans. Her shoe choice today was fashion cowgirl boots. “Come on, let's get this show on the road. I got everything packed in the living room. Let's head out after I get dressed” Emily said laughing as she walked to her room. Emily decided to wear a black tank top, with a pull over hoodie on top with blue jeans and tennis shoes. Emily walked into the living room to see it empty. She looked out the window to see Lindsey was outside putting the last of it into her truck. Emily smiled as she locked up her house and they drove to the location.
