In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. Thanks to her efforts to eat and find joy in work, Emily's body has returned to its original balance, no longer like the skeletons as described by Kurt.During the day, she works at a tailor shop, and when night falls, she goes to a pub to work as a waitress.Work at the pub could be said to be going smoothly, and she received a lot of tips from generous customers. However, the job at the tailor shop was not very good, or rather, it was because Loic pursued her too openly, making her extremely tired.“What did you buy again?” She was bored, pushed the newly sewn shirt aside, looked at the paper bag that had just been placed on the sewing machine table, and asked.“The dumplings you like.”“How do you know I like dumplings?”“Yesterday I heard you tell everyone that the dumplings at this shop are the best. If you don't like it, how can you praise it? I ran there because I wanted you to eat what you like.”Emily couldn't laugh an
Loic slowly approached, forcing Emily to step back and when she hit the stairs, she lost her momentum, fell, and looked up with frightened eyes.Wafting in the afternoon breeze was the faint scent of wine and she realized this man had been drinking. She wondered if his sister had told him about her quitting her job.“Why so? What does that look in your eyes mean? Are you that afraid of me? Why quit your job? I'm in the process of pursuing you, have I said anything to force you?”Her hands clutched the railing tightly, her head shaking continuously. Yes, he hadn't said a word to force her to accept his feelings, but those caring actions were enough to make her feel pressured and difficult to breathe.Just as she was trying to stand up, Loic grabbed her hand again, causing the bag in her hand to fall, revealing the remaining dumplings.“Emily, you...”Loic hesitated a bit. He thought she had given the dumplings to someone else, but he didn't expect her to bring them back here.“Mr. Loic
After many days of persuasion and encouragement, Kevin was able to sign the paperwork appointing Venn to the position of deputy general director.However, Venn still automatically acts as Kevin's assistant in his quest to find Emily's whereabouts.Her permanent residence is still in the old place, has not been moved to another place, but people do not know where she is.“Come in.” Kevin spoke up when he heard a knock on the door.Although Kevin didn't raise his head, when he heard the footsteps, he knew it was Venn. Sara, his new assistant always wears high heels and except for her, only this old assistant frequently comes in and out of his office.If other employees, including senior leaders, want to meet him, they must call and inform in advance or go through Sara, and cannot just jump in here arbitrarily.“Some people took these photos on the north side of the city. They said they took them because they saw this girl looked like the late young master's fiancee, but they didn't know
When the clock struck five o'clock in the afternoon, Kevin and Sara quickly turned off the computer and left the office.When they got down to the parking lot, they saw Venn and Lisa were also there.When Lisa saw the young president standing side by side with his beautiful assistant, smiling and talking, she felt slightly disappointed.Lisa always wished to sit next to Kevin and accompany him in everything. But she also knew she was not qualified and experienced enough to be chosen by him.“Hello chairman, hello Miss Sara.” Lisa smiled and bowed very politely.“Hello. Congratulations on your promotion. The assistant deputy general manager sounds impressive.” Sara replied smiling, her hand still clinging tightly to Kevin's arm.Lisa's smile became forced, her clear eyes kept looking at the intimate gestures of the two people opposite her.What she wanted was not only the title of assistant to the president but also the position of the person next to Kevin's pillow.For more than two m
Leaving the living room, Kevin didn't rush back to his room but pushed open the door and entered his brother's room.Sometimes, he still doesn't believe this is true. Sometimes, he thought that once he opened this door, he would still see Daniel, sometimes leisurely watering flowers, sometimes busy folding clothes into suitcases to go to charity in some remote area.His brother's belongings are still in the same place, no one has touched them since the day their owner passed away.His mother said she was afraid that when she picked them up, they would be misplaced when they were put down, no longer the same as her son's arrangement.“Diary? Daniel also writes a diary.” Kevin smiled when he pulled out the desk drawer and saw a lovely notebook inside.As if controlled by some invisible force, he reached out, picked it up, and flipped through the pages.Short sentences summarizing the events and emotions surrounding the love between his brother and Emily every day continuously appeared b
When the street lights turned on, Emily left the sewing machine, went into the bathroom, and prepared to go to the pub.This afternoon, she calculated the amount of money she would save after a year of working. She plans to use that money to open a tailor shop specializing in fashionable clothes for men and women.Of course, that will also be the place to launch her designs, limited in quantity.After closing the door, she picked up her bag and ran quickly to the black car that was waiting.Kurt lowered the windshield and winked, signaling the person outside to come in quickly.“Living here is extremely beneficial, I don't have to spend money on meals and I don't have to spend money on taxis.” She took a deep breath and spoke up, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the car.“So you must quickly get rich. If you're still poor at the end of the year, it's your fault.”Emily smiled at Kurt's joke. Although he was joking, his face was no different from that of a criminal police officer, very
Because the car from the south side of the city takes two hours to get here, everyone had to wait.Jennifer glared at the man who was helping Emily disinfect and bandage the wound caused by the glass fragment.Jennifer didn't understand what it was about that girl that attracted men, so wherever she went, men took care of her, even when she had nothing left in her hands.“Are you in a lot of pain?” Kurt asked after bandaging Emily's wound.“No.” She shook her head.“Don't cry, I'm here, I will get justice for you.” He pulled out a handkerchief, gave it to her, and gently comforted her.He knew she wasn't crying because of pain but because of self-pity. Who wouldn't be sad when they fall into this situation?If no one talks about it, she's okay, but once someone intentionally brings up the past, how can she not be hurt?The clock hands kept turning and less than two hours later, Brian's limited edition car stopped in front of the police station.He was working overtime at the company w
After a good night's sleep, Emily woke up and quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, had breakfast, and sat at the sewing machine.Her sewing speed is very fast, but thread cutting takes her a lot of time. She wished someone would help her cut the threads.Although Kurt invited her to cooperate in making money, that was a matter of the future, and for now, she had to work hard and do this job well.“Good morning, have you had breakfast yet?” Kurt looked at her through the window, held up two portions of food, and asked.“Oh, I already ate.”“You wake up so early, you're such a hard-working bee.”“The door is not locked.”He nodded, pushed open the door, entered the small room, placed a portion of food on the kitchen counter, then sat on the floor and ate the rest.Emily glanced at the man, smiled slightly, and continued working. Kurt always made her feel like he was family, and friendly and made her feel secure when she was with him.Seeing that she stopped sewing and focused on
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
