Chapter 9: Unprofessional

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 that this document was part of the Unicons group's competency profile. She remembered she examined them carefully before placing them on the table.

Only the set of documents in front of Kevin is correct, the rest are all wrong.

“I'm sorry, I'll go reprint it right away.” Her voice trembled, and her face turned pale.

“Take this document and photocopy it quickly.” Kevin gave her his documents and said.

Fast as a squirrel, Emily ran out of the conference room and sprinted towards the photocopier.

She was sweating profusely even though the weather in late autumn and early winter was very cold. The sound of paper running and the sound of a stapler resounding continuously.

The moment she put down more than ten sets of documents in front of the partners and leaders of Unicons Group, she was stunned and almost fell.

The meeting quickly took place, and the solemn atmosphere returned as if no unacceptable incident had ever happened before.

Emily's hands were still shaking, causing many spelling errors in the typed text.

After three and a half hours, the meeting came to an end. Kevin only agreed to add a few small binding terms from his partner to the contract, but he did not accept other requests.

“Okay, please prepare a contract and email it to me. We will meet again to sign a contract.” The director of SM company stood up and held out his hand.

“And we will see each other a lot in the future, at least until the project ends, right?” Kevin replied humorously, his hand tightly holding the hand of the person opposite him.

Gentle laughter rang out, calming the tense atmosphere in the room.

Emily also stood up and bowed to everyone. Just now, she was worried that her mistake would cause the negotiation to not go smoothly, but fortunately, everything went well.

However, she knows that the man in her heart will not forgive her easily. Perhaps he will take this opportunity to send her back to Daniel's side with a very perfect reason.

“Are you unwell?” Kevin was worried when he looked at his ex-lover's face as green as a leaf.

“Oh no, I...”

Before the words were finished, she staggered and fell onto him. It seemed that worry and fear caused her to be overwhelmed. She felt dizzy and extremely tired.

“I'll take you down to the medical room.”

“No need, I'll just apply some medicated oil.”  She refused and pushed him away.

As a result, Kevin had to carry the stubborn assistant back to the office, personally apply medicated oil, and massage her.

In the past, when exam season was near, she often went to his room to study with him and she also suffered from the same situation. And of course, he did things like this very skillfully.

“Are you feeling better?” He looked intently at her listless face and asked.

“I'm better, thank you.” She replied softly.

“Are you afraid that I will scold you? Scared enough to get hit by the wind?”

Emily had no intention of denying so she nodded. Anyone who falls into the situation just now must be afraid. Luckily he didn't scold her directly at that moment, otherwise, she would probably burst into tears.

“Someone must have swapped the documents.” She spoke up.

His considerate action of caring for her brought the two of them back many years ago when they were still in a relationship. She freely told him the frustrations she encountered and he also freely shared with her his concerns about the future.

“Even an idiot knows this, that's why I don't blame you. But there are no cameras on this floor. So it is very difficult to find the culprit.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up, returned to his desk, and called the receptionist.

About ten minutes later, two portions of lunch and fruit juice were delivered to the place. And the person who brought the food was no stranger, it was Jennifer.

“Mr. Kevin, lunch food...”

“Put them on the table.”

“Yes.”

Although Jennifer smiled and appeared happy, a wave of jealousy was rising in her heart.

Just now, she thought that Kevin asked her to buy two portions of food because he wanted to have lunch with her. But it seems that the lucky person is his ex-girlfriend who has no self-respect.

She wondered if he had been successfully seduced by the goblin named Emily. No one bathes twice in the same river. Or has he been bewitched by amnestics?

“Okay, you go have lunch. Emily and I will eat in here.”

“Yes.”

The moment Jennifer's slender figure disappeared behind the door, Kevin's eyes also changed, flashing a sharp look.

Who is he? He is the general director of the Unicons group, and in the future, he will be the president of the Unicons group, he is not stupid enough to not know who touched those documents.

Emily did something wrong to him, but now she is his assistant. If Jennifer hates Emily, she should only play tricks outside the company.

He believes that Jennifer is smart enough to understand what he meant by his actions just now.

And as he guessed, Jennifer was not stupid enough to not realize it.

There was an error in the file, but not only did he not scold Emily, but he also thoughtfully prepared lunch for her, proving that he knew she was not at fault.

Or perhaps he ignored and didn't care about Emily's lack of professionalism. This little trick of hers doesn't seem to have any effect.

“Eat quickly, why are you looking at me?”

Kevin glanced at the person opposite him, then bent down and continued eating. He feels like a child.

Yesterday, seeing her eating noodles with Brian made his stomach churn and he had the thought of having a meal with her. Only then will he not have the feeling of losing to that handsome deputy general manager.

“Thank you for helping me get justice.”

“What are you talking about?” He looked up and frowned slightly.

“You know Jennifer is the one who did it.”

After saying that, Emily immediately bent down and attentively ate her portion. She is not a stupid person, how could she not understand his meaning through what just happened?

She loved and admired him even more. At least he makes a clear distinction between work and private matters.

After finishing the meal, she took the opportunity to lie on the sofa to take a nap as her boss requested, while he continued to stare at the computer screen.

She couldn't know that now and then, he would raise his head and look at her, even though from that angle, he could only see her black hair, not her face.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Emily woke up. Before she could fully wake up, there was a knock on the door, and a few seconds later, Daniel walked in with a thin stack of documents in his hand.

Emily only had time to bow her head to say hello to the deputy general director.

Seeing her sleepy face, he squinted his eyes in surprise and walked to his brother's desk.

“Please see if these investors can cooperate. They came to see our father, but he told me to push the responsibility to you.” Daniel was talking to his brother but his eyes were glued to the girl's face, who was yawning.

“I've always been a trash can, haven't I?”

“That's right, a wastebasket filled with the power of the Unicons corporation. But... you've started pampering your assistant, haven't you?” Daniel smiled happily and continued speaking.

“Ask her what happened.”

Daniel obeyed his brother and hurried to sit opposite Emily and when he heard her tell that she had mistakenly placed the corporation's capacity profile on the meeting table instead of the file related to the cooperation project, he burst out laughing.

He also teased her that it was also a way to introduce the capabilities of Unicons group.

Next, he invited her to join him on a charity trip to the mountainous area. Although she was a bit hesitant at first, when she learned that it was during the company's holiday, she immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I'll come to your house to pick you up. The schedule is limited to just two days. We leave in the morning, we'll get there in the afternoon, tomorrow morning we'll deliver gifts, organize a few small musical performances for the children, and then at noon we'll depart back to the city. We will probably arrive home around nine or ten o'clock at night.”

“It's okay, after all, the next day is Sunday.” Emily excitedly said.

Both of them were chatting so loudly that they forgot that in the room, right in the hot seat, there was a very bright light bulb.

Kevin tightened his grip on the pen in his hand, scowling at the man and woman who were treating him like an invisible person.

What is happening in his office? Yesterday, that girl said she wanted to be with him, but her current appearance was no different than flirting with his younger brother.

After ten minutes, Daniel also left after Emma came here to look for him. At this moment, Emily realized that her boss's face had turned black.

However, she only thought he was upset because she slept too late and neglected her duties, but she didn't know he was jealous.

As an older brother, being jealous of his younger brother made him feel like he was about to explode.
