"I want everyone to feel comfortable with their own body." Regina Mills smiled into the camera. Emma scoffed as she shook her head. She yanked the remote from her desk crushing her finger on the power button. Emma knew every word Regina said was a lie. She only cares about herself. She hopes she will never cross paths with that vile woman.She plopped down on her chair threading her fingers through her dirty blonde locks. She carefully looked over the designs for this week, wondering what theme should be next on The Swan Entertainment magazine.

The love theme was too common, the animal prints did no justice, and the black and white theme made her magazine look like they weren't even trying. Emma growled and slammed her hand against her desk.

Then the phone rang.

She sighed picking the phone up. "Hello this is Emma Swan, CEO of Swan Entertainment, How may I help you?"

"Good evening. I recently called on behalf of AMX. I hope you have looked over the documents for the merger and we hope we'll be working with you soon."

Emma took a deep breath. "I apologize sir but I have no clue what you are referring too."

"Didn't your assistant tell you? I faxed over the documents three days ago. How did you not have any recollection of this?"

Emma scratched her head thinking of something to say. She was in the mood to fire someone. "Yes, I am a little over my head today. I believe I misplaced those documents somewhere. I'll look over them as soon as I can and I'll get back to you soon."

"Alright, Please due look over them carefully. I hope we can meet soon."

"Me too sir. I have a great day."

Emma slammed the phone into the holder over and over. Right on time, her assistant came walking through her doors. She looked up as she took one deep breath.

"Are you okay boss. You're looking a bit pale."

"I'm fine I am so fine that I'm going to fire your ass."

Lexie gulped. Emma saw the fear strike into her eyes. She groaned silently already knowing Lexie is going to start crying. "Fuck me." She whispered.

"Lexie please don't cry. I'm not going to fire you." She yanked a tissue from the box and walked over to the sofa. "A few minutes ago I had a lovely chat with someone from AMX company telling me they wanted to merge Swan Entertainment and AMX. He also said they faxed the documents to sign over the rights three days ago."

Lexie jerked her head up faster than a speeding bullet. "I am so sorry. I must have forgotten to mention it."

"I hired you for a reason and It's too assist me. Now from my understanding, you have been assisting me well, but you suddenly forgot to mention this. That's what I don't get. Please enlighten me." Emma grinned with her shoulder bouncing.

Lexie bit the bottom of her lip.

"Lexie, you didn't forget. I know you too well. I want the truth or I will fire you."

"The girls don't want to merge with AMX so they told me not to mention it to you."

"You do realize my name is literally in the title of this company. They can pull up my records in a heartbeat. Either you guys are incredibly stupid or just incredibly stupid."

"We think It's a bad idea. Once we do the merger than what if they take over. You know start changing things or worse give you a new position."

"I'm the CEO. What can they do?"

Lexie nodded.

Emma got up placing her hands on her hips. "I'm glad you guys are looking out for this company but if you are going to take this seriously I need your full cooperation. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand boss. This won't happen again."

Emma smiled kicking up her boot a few inches. "Good. Get me those documents and call AMX to set up a meeting."

"Right away boss."

"Stop calling me boss Lexie or Ms.Swan. Call me Emma and leave it at that."

"Okay Emma," Lexie blushed.

"Wait, I'll set the meeting up. Go get me the documents and cancel all my appointments. I'm going to get a late lunch. I also need you and the other girls to come up with a theme for this week. These designs you gave me aren't doing it for me."

Lexie inclined with a happy smile on her mouth. Sometimes, Emma thought she had a weird crush on her. She hopes she isn't right. She gave a professional smile waving her off. It might have been a huge mistake in hiring Lexie. Fuck her good ass heart.

Emma picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Emma Swan from Swan Entertainment. I would like to set a meeting to go over these documents as soon as possible. I believe we have a lot to discuss in terms of what your company can offer. I appreciate your trust in my company and I hope this will work out for both of us. Goodbye."

She wasn't sure if merging her company with AMX was a good idea. AMX was a massive billionaire model organization and they chose Swan Entertainment to team with. Emma is below AMX. Something's not right with this but there's only one way to find out. She cannot wait to meet the face of AMX.

Emma grabbed her suitcase tossing her paperwork inside. She swung her red leather jacket over her shoulder making her way towards the door.

"Here are the files." Lexie handed them over.

"Thank you, Lexie," she tossed a set of keys at her. "Lock my office and keep those keys by your side. I don't want anyone in here."

"Whatever you need boss." Giggled Lexie. "Sorry, Emma."

"I'll be back in two hours. By the time I get back, you guys better have a theme ready to put out on the magazines."

"Not to worry Emma. I'll have everything ready for you this week."

Emma smiled. "Perfect I'll see you later."

Sometimes, she felt her lungs were being squeezed together until the popped. Emma was in over her head when she started this business. She's surprised she made it so far and yet hasn't been broken. Even if she signs the rights to AMX, what kind of message would her company be sending? Starve yourself. It'll help your skin glow.

"Here's your grilled cheese ma'am. Anything else I can get you."

Emma nodded her head, though she wasn't focused on her waiter. "Can you turn the T.V up a bit please." Her eyes were glued as she listened carefully.

"I had just heard the great news about your merger with Swan Entertainment. Tell me about that." The reporter asked.

"Yes, we have received a call from Emma Swan telling us the meeting is in order. We hope with both of our organization we can create a better world for all women no matter what clothing they wear or body image they have."

"That Regina Mills sure is something," the waiter ripped off a piece of paper and placed it on Emma's table.

She clenched her hands into blood-curling fists. The blood rushed to her head as her veins popped out. "That bitch is going down."
