Even though she has appeared so ordinarily to most people, she was still a business tycoon, one of the most feared businesswomen in the whole world. Her mother had trained her well, and she was proud of that.

"I have a couple of questions to ask you and have a job for you."

Emma swallowed hard, nervously, although her face looked serious. "I'm all ears."

"What is your relationship with the Walkers'? I saw you in her arms that day at the hospital, and they made contact with me all because of your daughter. Who are you, Emma?"

Emma swallowed hard. Sheh has seen this question coming and has prepared well for it. I'm Mrs. Elizabeth's personal assistant. That's who I am."

Alexander's cold blue eyes stared into her eyes, trying to read her trying to see if she was telling the truth. He wanted to be
