I walked into my fathers office , as poised as the Duchess of Cambridge. Avoiding eye contact with the man that had the power to weaken my knees , merely by the sight of him. I greeted my father with a kiss on the cheek , and had taken up my seat across from his desk.

My father sat proud , addressing Brandon and I as formally as he would any other business partner. This was not a daughter watching her dad at work , no this was a business meeting , and was treated as such.

A couple minutes later , a blonde woman walked in , perfectly manicured nails, not a hair out of place, and a red stain coated her lips.
"The boardroom has been prepped ,Sir." She uttered , almost seductively to my father.

If looks could kill , we'd have been sympathizing with her family by now.

I cleared my throat , making my presence known. This was not sitting well with me, I know my father wouldn't dare cheat on my mother , this vile woman was testing waters. Waters she dared not tread.

"Thank you, Angela." My father said curtly.

She has a name.

I pursed my lips, and watched as she stepped out of the office. My eyes never diverting. As soon as the door shut , I asked to be excused , standing , I smoothed out the creases in my skirt , smiled at my father and Brandon , assuring them I won't be long.

They knew what was about to happen , but knew better than to voice their opinion.

Exiting my fathers office, the air felt thicker , I could hear the erratic beating of my heart , the anger burned through my veins .

Clenching my eyes shut , I took a deep breath , to gain some form of composure.

"Tyler , where did that woman go?" His eyes darted to mine at the sickly sweet tone of my voice , he too knew what was about to happen.

He pointed in the direction, the woman had disappeared into , with Tyler and Hunter on my heels , I took harsh confident steps, making my presence known.

She had turned down the hall , and made her way back to the receptionist tea room.

Almost throwing the door off the hinges , I barged in.

Well if she wasn't aware of my presence before , she certainly knew now.

"Angela , is it?". I said as I showcased a toothy grin.

She looked at me in shock , clearly she wasn't expecting this.

"Renesmeè Knight, Mr Knight's daughter." I introduced myself as I extended my hand.

"I don't think we've met before." I continued.

"Angela Reaves" she stated curtly, accepting my handshake .

I clasped onto her handshake , and squeezed until I heard a slight crack.

"That little show you put on back there, none of that, ever again. You will walk in there and apologize for your unprofessional behavior." I seethed , at this point I was shaking with anger.

Tyler and Hunter stopping short at the door , unsure of how to react in this situation , neither have seen me this angry, it was scary , and intriguing to them. I know for a fact they've underestimated me , and have always thought of me as "daddy's little princess."

"I will become your worst nightmare, never underestimate the power of a Knight." With my warning still hanging heavy in the air , I let go of her hand , turn around, smile and walk away.

Tyler , struggling to catch up with me , jogs after me , to find out what the hell just happened.

"She crossed a line."
