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
Brian had to admit that Emily was very good at saying things to make others feel less guilty.Who would have thought that in just one day, he would discover that he had two younger sisters? Compared to Jennifer, he felt that Emily was more similar to him.It was funny because he had often told himself that his and her faces were similar because they were destined to be husband and wife.“Emily, don't work here anymore, go back to my company, I guarantee Jennifer won't dare to cause trouble for you.” Brian spoke up.“No, I like doing this job.” She shook her head, continuing to wear another pair of nylon gloves to tear up the dried squid.“The environment here is too complicated. And if you don't like working at GE Corporation, I can help you open a fashion store or a large tailor shop. You like fashion design, right?”“Brian...” She stopped, looking straight at his expectant face.“Yes, you say it, I'm listening.”She exhaled and told him that the working environment here was very goo
When night fell, as usual, exactly at seven o'clock, Emily was at the pub. Today, she took a taxi because Kurt had boarded a plane since morning. After changing into her uniform, she quickly started working. A day out with Brian made her feel very comfortable but her legs were a bit tired. “Hello, deputy manager.” She bowed her head when she saw the deputy manager passing by. “Hello, ah, Emily, VIP room number three has just been booked by a customer. Go in there and turn on the air conditioning first. Check if the table or sofa is skewed and fix it. I heard there are a lot of people in their group, about a dozen people.” “Yes.” Fast as a squirrel, Emily ran to VIP room number three and pressed the remote, turning on the air conditioner. Then she adjusted the sofas neatly, checked whether the bathroom was clean or not, and then turned on the karaoke system but kept it on silent mode. “Alright. There are so many people coming, they will probably order a lot of food and wine.” She
After examining, sewing, and bandaging Emily's wound, the doctor called Kevin in and told him and the nurse to take her to the hospital room for further observation because the wound was quite deep so he was afraid she would have a fever in the middle of the night.Through examination, her current physical condition is not very good.“Luckily, it didn't hit her tendon, otherwise she would have had to lie down for several months.” The doctor said with a serious face.“Thank you, doctor.”Kevin bowed his head to say thank you and then pushed Emily out of the emergency room with the nurse. She lay still, not daring to look up at him.The feeling of lying on her back on the stretcher and being dragged away like this made her scared, feeling empty and unsafe.In her head, she was imagining many of the next situations, his questions, and his attitude when they were alone.“The patient will stay in a one-bed VIP room, right?” The nurse confirmed it again because Kevin had suggested it earlie
After a windy and rainy night, the sun gradually appeared, but the cold and dampness still lingered, and did not want to leave.Emily frowned because of the pain coming from the top of her foot. She had forgotten that she was injured and in the hospital, so she moved a bit too hard.Hearing the noise coming from the bathroom door, she reflexively looked in that direction and saw Kevin. He changed back into long pants and a white shirt, neat and nice.“Do you want to go to the bathroom?” He walked closer to her and asked.“I can walk on my own. If I move slightly, the wound doesn't hurt too much.”“Uh. Luckily you didn't have a fever last night. The doctor has allowed you to leave the hospital. You change your clothes and I'll take you home.”After speaking, he immediately went out, giving her space. Last night, he couldn't sleep peacefully because he had to check now and then to see if she had a fever.He thought that the fact that she tricked him, sold the company, and ran away prove
Kurt's trip took longer than expected, it wasn't until Thursday night that he set foot at the airport.During this business trip, some friends took him to get acquainted with the big bosses of companies specializing in importing handicraft products from rattan and bamboo for distribution in their country and to other countries.Their potential customers are cafes, tourist areas, resorts, restaurants, hotels... even houses.The first thing Kurt did when he almost got home was to knock on Emily's motel room door and give her some dumplings he bought on the south side of the city.He heard the deputy manager report what happened in the pub that day, but because he didn't know what Emily's current mood was and whether she wanted someone else to mention that issue, he still didn't ask her.“It smells so good, thank you.” She took the bag of dumplings, smiling brightly, no different from a child being given candy.“Does your leg still hurt?” Kurt looked down at the wound on her foot and ask
On the other side of the phone, Venn sighed in relief. As the person assigned by Kevin to find her whereabouts, how could he not understand his boss's intentions?Now Kevin went there and got drunk. If he listened to Emily and came to pick Kevin up, it would be like he ruined his boss's chance.So, he had to lie even though he was at home and he knew Sara was probably still busy preparing documents for the upcoming important meetings.Emily started biting her lips and then biting her nails, not knowing what to do with this drunk man. If she took him back to her room, she was sure he would stand there every night, as evidenced by the fact that he went to the pub these past few nights.Thinking about it for a while, she decided to take him to the hotel.“Kevin, wake up, you can't sleep here.” She gently shook his shoulder.After a while, he obeyed and sat up, but unfortunately, his whole body was now weak and he had to lean on her.She had to admit that when he was too drunk, he and Dan
Emily thought it would be a few days before Kevin came back to get his bank card, but no, as soon as she walked to the main lobby, she saw him sitting in front of the counter, intently watching the bartender mix the wine.Today, he is wearing a t-shirt, not a shirt anymore, he looks a few years younger.He seemed to completely shed the image of a noble president to become a young man who went out to drink a few cocktails to relieve stress.- Give back to you. – Emily put the black card down on the counter and said.As soon as she was about to walk away, he grabbed her wrist, held her back, asked her to bring him a grilled squid, and then let go of her hand very quickly.After coming here a few times, he naturally turned into a super VIP customer of the pub.Although the amount of wine he ordered the day before was taken back by the pub and was not charged because he ordered ten but only drank one.However, just now he asked them to take the remaining nine bottles of wine to his car an
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
