Chapter 618: The Background Must Be Publicized
Emily Walker’s eyes widened as she struggled to view the picture printed in the article below. She had to leave her seat and walk over to Eric’s desk.
The picture was clearly her’s!
“December 6th…” was that not coming up this Wednesday?
What in the world was happening…
Seeing her also walk over to check the news, the entire office got buzzing, with everyone crowding around, making comments.
“Hey Emily, are you really the heiress of the Walker Consortium?”
“Isn’t Camila Walker the heiress of the Walker Consortium? What on earth is happening?”
Many people were surprised at the news, but since it was spoken directly by the Chairman of the Walker Group, the truth of the news was beyond doubt!
The whole office was buzzing, giving Emily a bit of a headache.
“I…” She wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that the identity of the heiress was a big responsibility.
“Hey, we all know the Walker family’s lost daughter was found twenty years ago, why is there suddenly another daughter?”
“Do you all really want to know?” Emily looked around at her colleagues, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. She couldn’t bear to ignore them!
All their curious eyes were fixed on her, waiting for her to reveal the answer they were so eager for.
“On December 6th, my father will explain everything to you!” Emily said, squinting her eyes and smiling. Then she stood up and returned to her own seat.
She realized, having the identity of an heiress, was going to solicit a lot of attention wherever she went.
Before this, nobody had ever been this ‘enthusiastic’ about her!
“Emily, please just tell us…”
Someone was incredibly eager, as if they wouldn’t be able to work unless they knew the answer!
“Shush, the Design Director is coming!”
If the Design Department Director hadn’t shown up, the office wouldn’t have calmed down.
“Get ready, there’s a meeting at 10 o’clock.”
Emily opened her computer, lost in thought.
She thought recognition would be enough, but there was going to be a public announcement on December 6th. What would that be like?
Honestly, she was still not used to being the center of attention in the city.
During her lunch break, Emily made a call to Baxter Walker.
Initially, it was a bit unusual for her; she almost called him ‘Mr. Walker’ a few times.
“Um, father…what’s happening on December 6th?”
Thinking of the upcoming announcement, Baxter was ecstatic on the other end of the call.
When they brought Camila home twenty years ago, there was never such hype, only mentioning their daughter’s return when asked about it.
“It’s a ceremony to publicly acknowledge your identity. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to attend. Just come to the banquet in the evening.”
He seemed to understand that Emily might not like to appear in front of the camera or on the big screen. He and his wife, Angela Reid, would attend the announcement, and Emily’s attendance, in fact, wasn’t obligatory.
Emily paused for a moment and hesitantly asked, “Does it have to be announced this way?”
Just them recognizing each other was still not enough? Why make it known to the entire city?
Baxter chuckled and began to explain.
“Emily, for a family like ours, publicly recognizing your heritage is a must.”
