Chapter 6: The first working day

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 became with Daniel. He didn't ask for help, but this younger brother was so diligent that he pushed him into this funny and sad situation.

The fact that he was abandoned by her in the past is a scar that he wants to hide forever, not letting his family know.

“Read these contracts and find disadvantages for Unicons Group and then mark them.” He gave her three thick contracts and said.

Emily quickly took them and went to the sofa to sit. She thought he would ignore her, but in the end, he agreed to talk. He gave her the job, which also meant he had accepted to leave her by his side.

It seems that the deputy general director's influence on his brother is not small.

Her attentive appearance reminded Kevin of the image of a female student sitting in the school library years ago.

He understands her better than anyone else. Once she receives a task, she will focus on completing it best. Even so, he still couldn't understand her heart, madly in love and quickly bored were what he felt from his ex-lover.

He also doesn't know if she would have left him if things hadn't happened in the past. Until now, he still can't believe that he fell in love with the wrong person.

After half an hour, when Kevin finished processing yesterday afternoon's documents, Emily also finished reading the three contracts.

She found that the binding terms between the two companies were reasonable, with no disadvantageous or unreasonable terms at all.

“There are no problems with these contracts. I see that the terms seem to favor Unicons Group more than ERA Company.” She gave them back to him and said.

“Buy me a cup of coffee at the coffee shop opposite the company.” He pulled out the desk drawer to get money and pushed it towards her.

“Yes. Please wait a moment.”

After saying that, Emily immediately ran away like a child being given money by her brother to buy cakes. At this time, Kevin could breathe normally and his heart rate also slowed down.

He hated himself because when he saw her appear, his first emotion was joy. Although his mouth spoke words of dismissal, his heart screamed to keep her, to see her, to be close to her, and even to torture her to satisfy the pain he felt over the years.

“Give me a cup of black coffee with little sugar.” She said and took out her phone to text her father.

“I thought I was mistaken, it turned out to be you.”

A voice suddenly spoke from behind, causing Emily to turn around in surprise.

Before the message was sent, the phone was turned off. She didn't expect Jennifer to run after her all the way here.

“You're not mistaken, I work at Unicons Group.” Emily answered politely.

“Your family has a company but you don't work there but go to Unicons group. Are you trying to seduce Kevin?”

“You are thinking too much. I just want to work to make money and gain experience. But when I heard what you said, I suddenly had a different thought. Should I seduce him again? I'm his assistant, so I probably have a lot of opportunities.”

“What? You... you're Kevin's assistant?”

“So you think I came back from studying abroad to work as a cleaning staff for him?”

While Jennifer was still opening her mouth and unable to speak because she was so shocked, Emily quickly paid the money, took her cup of coffee, and left.

When Jennifer regained her composure, the distance between them was already too far. She did not know that Kevin was recruiting a new assistant. If she had known, she would have applied for the position.

After all, when did Venn quit his job and Emily knew and jumped in to take his place so quickly?

“Didn't he forbid me to mention her name when I mentioned her name before? How could this happen?”

Because Jennifer was so angry that her whole body was hot, she had to drink two glasses of water to make her mood better.

It was not without reason that she applied to work as a receptionist at Unicons Group. Senior assistants like Emma and Venn all started from where she is now. When former assistants resign, the receptionist will be the first choice that bosses think of.

“Here's your coffee.”

After placing the cup of coffee and change on his desk, Emily continued to stand waiting for him to assign her work. Her heart was filled with worry because she didn't know if Jennifer would tell him what she had just said.

She should have restrained her aggressiveness and remained silent because if she could not seduce him, she would no longer be a rich lady.

Wine Company's bankruptcy announcement means that she and her father will become poor workers, even having to rent a house to live in.

“This is my schedule for the next few days. It is your responsibility to remind me as well as to allocate appointments in the following days.”

Because Kevin saw Emily looking absentmindedly out the window, he spoke up to let her soul return. Her appearance was similar to when her father was in the hospital, but as far as he could see, her father was still very healthy and not sick.

Yesterday, he met customers at Sunset restaurant and he was the only one who could walk steadily while the rest had to be carried to the car by secretaries and assistants.

“That's the assistant's desk phone, please answer the phone.” He continued speaking when he heard the landline ring.

She quickly did as he said. On the other end of the line, the man claiming to be the director of Gamuda City company asked her to reschedule the appointment for another day because tomorrow he had to fly abroad to handle a problem at that branch there.

“Who called?” Kevin took a sip of coffee and asked.

“He is the director of Gamuda City company, and he asked me to postpone the appointment to next week.”

“Then you can arrange it yourself. The laptop's password is Venn, you can use it but create your folder, copy the documents over, and continue, don't touch the old files.”

“Yes.”

Usually, assistants of big bosses will have their own office and when they have work, they will go into the boss's room, but no assistant will set up a desk next to the boss.

Therefore, Emily is extremely curious about the relationship between him and Venn.

She's been away from him for five years and it seems like he still hasn't loved anyone else. Could it be that he has changed his taste and liked men?

If his assistant were a girl, she wouldn't think much, but this person is a man and she heard that the man is also extremely handsome and stylish.

If Kevin likes men, then maybe she should withdraw early and accept being homeless because she already knows the outcome. She cannot change his sexual orientation nor is she able to transform herself into a man.

When the main screen appeared, she was captivated because she saw the image of a very handsome and elegant guy. If she guessed correctly, this is Venn. To describe him, she could only say that his appearance was perfect.

“Is he an acquaintance of yours?”

“Ah. No… I don't know him.”

Emily screamed when she heard a voice suddenly ringing in her ear. When she turned around, she almost kissed Kevin on the face because he leaned too close.

She didn't know when he stood behind her. She didn't even hear his footsteps.

“You still remember I drink black coffee with little sugar.” He said while manipulating the computer keyboard.

“I remember.” She replied softly.

“Done, name the folder.”

“Huh? Oh yes.”

The scene in the room at this moment seems to be painting a picture of a couple in the office.

Emily quickly did as he said. Her fingers were shaking constantly and she couldn't stop. This feeling was like the first day he accepted her love.

“You named the folder after me?”

“Huh? Oh my god, no… I… I was wrong.”

Shame almost engulfed Emily, she wished she had an invisibility cloak to put on and disappear from his sight right now. Even when she announced that she would pursue him again, she did not feel as embarrassed as now.

In the end, he had to help her handle it because she kept shaking and couldn't do anything.

Kevin was not used to typing on a computer with one hand, so he wrapped his arm around her for ease of operation, making her whole body fall between his two strong arms.

Every time his shirt sleeve accidentally touched her arm, she almost held her breath. When he returned to his desk, she still couldn't move.

“You have freezing disease, don't you?” He frowned and spoke.

“Oh, no.” She replied embarrassedly and quickly plugged her face into the computer screen.
