Post–divorce, Emma had reflected on their marriage, realizing the Imbalance: her proactive approach
contrasted with Alex’s passivity. This disparity was the crux of their failed relationship.
64 Unforeseen Complications
Emuna’s company, thriving in various industries including real estate development and entertainment,
rarely had subsidiary issues escalate to the headquarters. However, one morning, Juliet brought
concerns from both entertainment subsidiaries to Emma.
“Why involve me in subsidiary matters? I already have enough on my plate,” Emma protested, knowing
these media companies had competent management and didn’t require her direct
intervention.

But Juliet discovered that their companies were being blacklisted in the industry, a new and serious
problem. “Someone influential is targeting us,” she concluded.
Emma realized the gravity of the situation. “Whoever it is must be a major industry player to blacklist us
so effectively.”
Juliet didn’t understand why they were targeted. Emma suggested involving Johnson, her brother’s
assistant, known for resolving complex issues.
“Would your
brother even agree to send Johnson to help us?” Juliet questioned skeptically.
“Go ask him. He probably wouldn’t if I did,” Emma said.
Juliet was reluctant to approach Emma’s brother for help, fearing the repercussions.
Their discussion was interrupted by a phone call. Afterward, Emma decided to visit the subsidiary
herself, with Juliet reluctantly following.
Arriving at the lobby, they found Johnson waiting with a car. Emma had expected her brother’s
cooperation, confident in her eventual leadership role in the company.
Johnson briefed them en route to the subsidiary. The issue at hand was a magazine cover shoot,
Jeopardized by the last–minute withdrawal of the contracted artist, a situation exacerbated by their
rivals.
The shoot was crucial, intended to feature a renowned photographer, and now they faced a pressing
need for a suitable replacement. Emma and Juliet, with Johnson’s assistance, prepared to tackle this
unexpected complication head–on.
