“Take a seat.”
Daniel pointed to the sofa and slowly sat down, pouring tea into a cup.
Emily smiled and did as he said. She glanced around the room. It seems that the layout and interior design of this place have partly reflected the interior, and personality of its owner, warm and friendly.
“Please have tea.” He pushed the teacup closer to her hand and spoke softly.
“Thank you. I really don't think I can be your employee.” She picked up the cup of tea and said.
“Usually, the excellent new graduates who come out of Fashion Future will choose to stay in the world fashion capital. Why don't you choose to be like them? Is it because you still have an inheritance burden?”
Daniel's question made Emily a little sad because she suddenly remembered the day she set foot at the airport.
Originally, she also intended to stay in country A to forever forget the man she loved, but because her father told him to miss her and because he was unwell, she had to fly back.
In the end, she couldn't ignore both her father and the Wine company, so she forced herself to walk this difficult path.
In the past, it took her a long and hard year to successfully win the heart of the poor student Kevin.
Now that he was a rich bachelor and hated her to the point of wanting to kill her, she knew better than anyone that making him fall in love with her all over again was as difficult as climbing the sky.
“Right. More than that. My father has only me and he is old so he needs someone next to him to take care of him.” Emily lowered her head and replied softly.
“You did the right thing. Filial piety should be at the forefront.” Daniel nodded, agreeing with her.
“ But... don't you wonder why I ran here to apply for a job but didn't work at the Wine Company?”
“Normal. Jennifer has been working as a receptionist here for two years now.”
Emily's eyebrows furrowed slightly when she heard Daniel speak. Just now, when she passed the main hall, she saw a girl who looked a lot like Jennifer, but she thought she was dizzy. She didn't expect that person to be Jennifer.
Emily came to Unicons for a bad purpose because her father's company is also famous, if she didn't have her own purpose, she would not apply for the position of deputy sales department of this corporation.
Therefore, she suspected that Jennifer was like her, but she did not know if the person Jennifer was targeting was Kevin or Daniel or some guy with a high status and position in this corporation.
“Miss Emily. Actually, the fashion segment of Unicons Group is still in the stage of preparing everything and shaping the style and brand, so there is currently no job for you. Therefore, for the time being, I will let you work in another position.”
While Emily was worried because she didn't know where Daniel would take her, there were two knocks on the door outside and then Emma appeared with the document signed by Kevin.
Emma was very surprised when she saw that the girl who danced with the general director of Unicons at the birthday party was sitting and talking with her boss.
“Mr. Kevin is still in the office, right?” Daniel took the document from Emma and asked.
“Yes. His assistant had an accident so he had to check all the documents himself. He doesn't trust anyone but Venn.” Emma answered.
“Did you hear that? That's the position I'd recommend to you. Assistant to the general manager of Unicons Group, very majestic.” Daniel turned to look at Emily and smiled brightly.
Not only Emily but also Emma were also surprised by Daniel's decision.
The position he just mentioned is a hot chair that requires the person sitting in it to have real ability, withstand pressure, and be experienced both internally and externally.
Someone like Emily who just got her diploma and returned to her home country is not a wise choice for this position.
“I still don't have any experience. I am afraid that I will make the general manager unhappy.” Emily hastily spoke up.
“Don't be so self-deprecating. You have applied for the position of deputy head of sales, right? You are beautiful, highly educated, good at foreign languages, and most importantly, you were chosen by my brother as a dance partner at the party.”
When Daniel said that, he suddenly coughed a few times. He picked up a glass of water and drank, then continued to explain that his brother's temper was very unpleasant and that she was the first person Kevin noticed among many other girls.
Therefore, Daniel believes that his brother will accept to spend his precious time training her to become a temporary assistant until the day Venn returns.
“A good first impression will help relationships get off to a good start. When I saw my brother working hard, I was also heartbroken. He is extremely picky about who is next to him. When he was young, I didn't worry, but now that he's old, if he takes on too many things, he will get sick. Emily, you are the best choice at this time, please agree.”
Although Emily was still very nervous, she knew this was a good chance. If she agrees, she can be close to Kevin every day and the probability of achieving the intention will be higher.
However, she did not know if he would accept her as a temporary assistant, but she knew that the risk of her being rejected by him was very high.
She didn't expect Daniel to think Kevin had a good impression of her when he saw his brother drag her out to the dance.
If the man sitting in front of her had known how much his brother hated her, he would have grabbed her and thrown her out of the company, and cut off the friendship.
“I won't have any opinion if he accepts me.”
“The person who is recommended by me, my brother will certainly have no opinion. Otherwise… lose my face.”
Originally, Emily thought Daniel was proving to her that he had a certain voice in Unicons, but she didn't expect him to talk like he was a child.
As for Daniel, when he saw Emily smiling, he felt that she was like a lovely doll.
“Come on, I'll take you to his room.” Daniel said while standing up.
Emily bowed to Emma and quickly followed Daniel.
At this point, Emma was able to breathe a sigh of relief because she knew that no man would want to push the girl he liked toward another man, even if that person was his brother.
The moment the door opened, Kevin immediately raised his head to see and when he recognized his brother's familiar face, he immediately bent down and continued to sign the documents.
However, just a few seconds later, he looked up again because he recognized the perfume of the girl who had danced with him at the party that day.
“Are you surprised?” Daniel smiled and asked.
“What happened?” Kevin frowned and looked at the two of them.
“She's your new assistant. I personally went down to the interview room to select. Smart, beautiful, highly educated, rich, good personality, good dignity, very nice voice, fluent in foreign languages.”
Emily didn't feel happy when Daniel praised her. Daniel said everything right, but the good personality part, she is not sure that Kevin will believe it because in his heart she is the bad girl who betrayed his love and abandoned him when he was most miserable.
“Hello, Mr. Kevin. I will try my best to complete the assigned work, please give me a chance.”
She had just finished speaking when Daniel's phone rang. Realizing that the caller was a world-famous designer, he immediately asked permission to go outside.
Kevin quickly took advantage of this time, leaving his desk and approaching Emily.
He glanced at her from head to toe, then stared at her beautiful face again. The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter and when his warm breath blew into her face, she thought he was about to kiss her.
“Your liver is also very big, you dare to apply to be my assistant. You don't know fear, do you?” He whispered into her ear.
“Carbon must be subjected to pressure to become a diamond.” She held her breath and answered.
“Not all graphite under pressure will turn into a diamond. There are lumps of graphite that will crumble and turn into ashes.”
Kevin's tone was full of menace that made Emily's heart almost jump out of her chest. She understood what that statement meant. She knew that if he accepted her as his assistant, she would surely be tormented by him.
However, she had no other choice because the huge debts of the Wine company were gradually coming due and her father could not wait any longer.
Matthew had said that once his son was willing to marry her, she could freely use the number of dowry he gave her and it was a large number, which could solve part of the company's debt.
Moreover, once she becomes his wife, other partners, and the bank will respect him and the Unicons corporation, extend the repayment period as well as support and no longer put pressure on the Wine Company.
“Tell Daniel, tell him you don't want to work in this position. No, you have to say that you have thought about it carefully and don't want to work at Unicons Corporation.” Kevin reached out and grabbed Emily's chin and kept her face to his.
“I want to work at Unicons Corporation, and I want to be by your side.”
“You…”
“What are you two doing? Oh my, you… why did you strangle her?”
Daniel had just asked the previous question when he realized that Kevin was grabbing Emily's neck, so he immediately ran over and freed her.
Daniel's round eyes made Kevin speechless, he didn't know if his brother was nearsighted, but said he was strangling this girl. Apparently, he was just holding her slim chin lightly.
“I just checked to see if she had plastic surgery or not.” Kevin leisurely returned to the desk and said.
“Oh my god, you see with the naked eye but you don't recognize it. Emily is naturally beautiful.” Daniel frowned and affirmed.
“Uh. I have realized.” Kevin grimaced and replied.
Seeing Kevin engrossed in documents and seemingly not paying attention to the presence of himself and the girl next to him, Daniel didn't know whether his brother agreed.“Would you accept her as your assistant?” Daniel asked his brother but his eyes looked at Emily.“He has already agreed. I will start my work from today.” She answered.“As I said, no one would refuse a potential employee. Please try to support him for a few months, then come back to me.”Daniel patted Emily's shoulder and quickly returned to his room to continue handling work.Waiting until the door closed, Kevin raised his head to look at the girl standing in front of him. He didn't expect her to lie with such confidence.“What should I do now?” Emily ventured to ask.She only received silence from Kevin. He just considered her invisible and didn't pay any attention to her. However, every time he suddenly looked up, he saw her staring at him so he felt uncomfortable.The more he thought about it, the angrier he bec
Because Emily was engrossed in getting used to her new job, she didn't pay attention to the time. She opened all the data files on the computer to review the contents.The businesses of Wine Company and Unicons Group are completely different, so she was not surprised that when Kevin first hired her, he let her see his company's data at will.Even if the two companies are in the same industry and she gets the business secrets of the Unicons group, it doesn't mean anything when one side is an elephant and the other side is an ant. As soon as the ant raised its foot, it was already trampled by the elephant. What more could it hope to do?“When you leave the room, lock the door. If you keep the key, go to work early tomorrow. Don't forget that important meeting.”Hearing Kevin's voice, Emily realized it was already late afternoon. Glancing at the right corner of the computer screen and seeing that it was after five o'clock in the afternoon, she quickly turned off the computer and tidied u
The moment the car driven by Brian stopped, autumn raindrops also fell one after another. The rain is not too heavy but enough to make people feel wet and cold.“Take it, Emily, if you get wet, you'll get sick.” Brian gave the light purple umbrella to her.“Thank you.”Emily smiled then pushed the car door open and got out. Her slim legs tapped on the quiet road.No matter how noisy and bustling the city is, just a passing rain makes the atmosphere become quiet, peaceful, and sad.“Kitty.”Her steps stopped when she discovered two white kittens lying in a paper box. Maybe their owner didn't want to keep them so they left them here. If they keep lying here like this, she's afraid they'll get cold and die.After looking around for a while, she bent down, lifted the cat box, and continued walking.That cute action of Emily caught Brian's eyes. The corner of his lips curled up in a smile.This girl is different from his sister. He believed that if he could bring her into the house to be J
At exactly eight o'clock, senior leaders of SM company also arrived. In addition to Kevin, there were also a few more directors and deputy directors accompanying him in the final negotiations to sign the contract.The atmosphere in the large room suddenly became stuffy for Emily. She still has no experience participating in important meetings like this.That year, she went abroad and had to start college all over again, and spent the first year learning a foreign language. So, while her peers in the country have been working for several years, she is a new graduate.After shaking hands and greeting each other, everyone sat down and flipped through the documents prepared on the table.However, what caught their eyes were the words that made them simultaneously stare at Kevin.“General Director, it seems your company's employees prepared the wrong documents.” A man spoke up.Kevin glanced at Emily. She immediately received the document from her partner and panicked when she realized tha
In the following days, occasionally, when Emily accidentally looked up, she immediately saw Kevin's eyes like two bullets. After all, she didn't even dare look at him anymore.She was originally in the position of a hunter, but now she suddenly felt like a rabbit trembling in front of the old wolf named Kevin.If she remembered correctly, his attitude turned a hundred and eighty degrees since Daniel walked out of the room that day.She wondered if it was because he saw her being close to his younger brother that he was upset. Should she be happy? At least, he will keep her by his side because he doesn't want her to be close to Daniel.After a while of staring at the computer screen, she risked looking at the man who was busy with a bunch of thick files on the table.“Kevin, this afternoon you have a dinner appointment with the city's president. Please take me with you…”“No need. You cannot drink alcohol. If you go there, you'll get drunk and I'll have to carry you back.”Emily was co
During the long journey, the two of them didn't talk much, only occasionally, Emily turned to ask Kevin if he felt okay.At noon, both of them stopped at a small roadside restaurant. The weather was cold, so Emily chose a seafood hotpot to warm her body.Although they said they were going together, the young businessmen did not wait for each other because they all knew the way. They only arranged to meet at the slope leading into the village with more than two hundred ethnic minority households.They did not know that Kevin replaced Daniel and he did not contact the delegation leader even though his younger brother gave him his phone number.He had looked up the route on the map so he could find his way there. As for Brian, he contacted and sat in the same car with the group leader.Emily is no longer Kevin's lover, so she doesn't dare ask him to peel shrimp for her. He only eats fish and squid, not shrimp. After eating some shrimp and being allergic to it, he never touched it again.
The water poured in more and more violently and the dark clouds above could no longer stand firm because they were too heavy. The rain suddenly fell.Emily trembled, trying to grip the tips of her toes on the rocks. On the opposite side of her, Kevin was also moving as fast as he could.- Don't go anymore, Emily, stand still and wait for me. – He shouted when he saw her almost slip.Obeying him, she did not move anymore. However, because she tried to cling tightly to the stream bed, she soon had cramps. Even though she tried not to move, the pain transmitted from her muscles made it impossible for her to hold on for long.“Emily, no...” Kevin panicked when he saw her suddenly fall.The stream of water suddenly widened the distance he was trying to close. Emily screamed in pain and floated down into the fast-flowing water.Her hands waved wildly, trying to find something to hold on to but in vain. The slippery, mossy rocks rejected her. Water continuously poured into her mouth and nose
Hearing the alarm bell ringing softly from her phone, Emily immediately groped around to find it to turn it off, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find it. She only felt her hand touching something that looked like a human.The moment she opened her eyes and saw Kevin's handsome face, she remembered that last night he had come over and slept here.Glancing at the phone screen, seeing that it was only four in the morning, she immediately shook him awake.“What's up? It's still dark, please sleep a little longer.” He pressed her down, speaking in a sleepy voice.“Go back to your tent quickly, it won't be good for people to see you coming out of my tent.” She tried to escape from his pincer-like arm and urged him.Emily's words woke Kevin from sleep. What did she just say? If everyone saw that, what would happen? He was also planning to announce to everyone that she had become his girlfriend and would be his future wife.“Are you afraid that everyone will know we're in love?”
By the time the couple arrived at the police station, Reid's statement had already been taken and superiors were also preparing an arrest warrant for Jennifer.From Reid's testimony, they discovered that he and Jennifer did not just do bad things once.The chandelier fell, aphrodisiacs were added to the wine at the year-end party, and the video was sent to Daniel moments before the accident.After giving her testimony and signing the report, Emily staggered out of the police station. Every time Kevin touched her hand to try to support her, she immediately pushed his hand away.Everyone, including her, could guess the reason why someone who was extremely careful in traffic like Daniel suddenly lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into the median.“Emily, don't hate me, neither of us wants that.” Kevin hugged her from behind, speaking in pain.“You also think like me, right? We, you and I, are the cause of Daniel's death.” Emily said in tears and tried her best to escape his a
After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.“Tomorrow, I'll take you home to visit my parents. Don't worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife's cheek and spoke.“Yes.”Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law. Although Jessica doesn't lack anything, she shouldn't go there with empty hands.When Emily went back upstairs, put on makeup, and changed clothes, the phone rang. She saw a strange phone number, but she still picked it up.On the other end of t
At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa's residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn't leave her alone at home, and he didn't feel secure if he took her with him.“Emily, sit down here and I'll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it's all for you.”Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa's suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.“I'm afraid you'll worry. During those days, I was in so much pain that my face was distorted and I didn't have the strength to have
Each day passed quietly, the day after tomorrow was the day of surgery and tomorrow, Emily had to be hospitalized to prepare for surgery with Brian.To be honest, she was very worried. She wasn't worried about herself because the doctor had assured her that she wouldn't be in pain, but she was worried about Brian's probability of success.She knows that even though surgeries are guaranteed, there will still be small mistakes that can happen.Since the night Kevin refused to take Daisy away, Emily saw that Daisy's eyes seemed to be avoiding her, but she didn't care much.“What time will you leave tomorrow?” Kevin asked while patting her back to soothe her to sleep because he saw her tossing and turning.“I'll start leaving at seven o'clock in the morning, I'll have time to kiss you good morning.” She replied lazily.“Yes, if you're gone for a few days, you'll make up for it for me to have sex multiple times in a row in one night, okay?” He blew gently into her ear, teasing her.“Perver
When the party ended, Kevin's face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.“No.” She took a breath and replied.“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.It wasn't until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning's meeting that he laz
By the time Kevin got home, it was nine o'clock. Seeing Emily sitting and swinging on the swing, he immediately walked over, placed the rose bouquet in her lap, and sat down in front of her, looking at her beautiful but expressionless face.“Last night I worked too late and fell asleep. My phone ran out of battery so I didn't know you called. I'm sorry.” He gently stroked her hair, speaking in a low voice.“After this, I won't call you anymore.” She put the bouquet aside and spoke indifferently.“Don't, Emily, if you don't care about me, who will care about me?”Kevin reached out and hugged Emily's waist, resting his head in her lap.She is his stop after a day of traveling outside. If she ignores him, how will he have the energy to work?Today, meeting Emma, the feeling of guilt towards Daniel deep in his heart has eased.He also wanted to tell his wife about it to make her feel more comfortable, but the words that Daniel told Emma stopped him.“In a few days, when I receive notice
After a good night's sleep, Kevin woke up and reflexively reached out to look for his wife to hug, but the space next to him helped him remember what happened last night, and quickly opened his eyes.His wife was not lying next to him, she sat close to the edge of the bed, leaning her head against the wall, her eyes still closed.Kevin slowly approached, his trembling hand raised to touch her face, but then he quickly withdrew his hand and left the bed, preparing to go to the company.Although Emily could hear and know every move of her husband, she still sat still, pretending to be asleep.It wasn't until she was sure that the man had left the room that she opened her eyes, dragged her aching body into the bathroom, and washed away what belonged to him clinging to her body.Next, she went to the pharmacy near her house to buy birth control pills.Right now, she can't let herself get pregnant. She didn't want the baby to become the reason for her and him to be entangled when his love
This incident was quite complicated so the deputy head of the IT department and technicians could not handle it.The person who is the best and can restore the system, the department head, is on his way here.Yesterday, he asked for leave to return to his hometown, but this afternoon he had to drive back to the city.Although the distance between the two places is not too far, it still takes an hour to enter the city. Not to mention the city's traffic jams are terrible at this time.“He said it would take about half an hour to get into the city.” A technician spoke up after ending the call with the head of the IT department.Knowing that standing here and waiting wouldn't bring any results, Kevin took Emily back to his office and had dinner with her.Fortunately, she was here to eat with him, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to swallow it.“Everything will be okay.” Emily picked up a piece of meat, placed it in her husband's rice bowl, and said.“I know, I'm just afraid
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, Emily took a taxi to the city cemetery. White chrysanthemums are always the flowers she chooses to place on the graves of the deceased.After chatting in front of her parents' grave, she sat next to Daniel's grave, leaned her head on it, and closed her eyes.She wanted to tell him that he had entrusted her to the wrong person, but she couldn't.He didn't know and she couldn't blame him. He always wanted to give her the best things.She could no longer lean on that person's shoulder, so she had to come here to find some comfort.Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Emily was still sitting in the cemetery, the wind blew gently and the quiet space made her fall asleep without knowing it.When she felt a hand patting her shoulder and heard a deep voice calling her, she suddenly woke up.“Have you been here long? How dare you sleep in a cemetery like this?” Kevin frowned at her but his voice was very gentle.Emily didn't answer, she held h
