A question about pointers

I'm working on a C++ program for school that deals with classes and pointers. Could someone tell me what an 'embedded pointer' is? or at least point me in the right direction?

ex. Prepare the Timeoff class to be implemented in a Proxy Class and/or
as an embedded pointer to a TimeOff object in another class.
Don't know much about this myself but came up with this:

I also came across the terminology where it refers to an object storing a pointer to another object. Perhaps they were thinking of this:
