It was after nine o'clock at night but Kevin was still sitting in the bar. He was heartbroken, so he wanted to drink to get drunk, to forget life and people.Sitting next to him is Venn. Although Venn has been promoted to deputy general manager, he is currently no different from Kevin's assistant.After returning from the north side of the city, Kevin asked Venn to take him to the bar and sat here until now, refusing to go home.“Boss, let's go home. If you keep drinking, you will die.” Venn miserably advised.“Venn, tell me, I'm hateful, right?” Kevin picked up a full glass of wine, drank it all, and asked.“No. You are the nation's husband. Many people want to be your lover. How can you say you're hateful?”Hearing the person next to him praising him, he laughed bitterly.So Emily is the exception, right? She said he was disgusting and chased him away as if chasing away an evil spirit.Ignoring Venn's advice, Kevin continued to order another bottle of wine. He wondered if he died to
After more than two hours, the quiet countryside appeared. Kurt turned the car onto a small road and continued driving deeper inside.All Emily could see was the vast green of trees, rows of banana trees in full bloom, and lots of bamboo.After another twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of a simple house with a thatched roof but quite spacious and cool.The homeowner is a middle-aged couple with dark skin and a slightly short figure.“These are letters of authorization that those households authorized me to act as the legal entity to sign the sales contract with you. Here, take a look.” The man held out the stack of papers and said.Kurt carefully looked through it, then took out four prepared contracts and gave them to the man to check the terms related to the sale.Next, he took a pen and wrote down the name and ID card number, address, and other information related to the man, and then both men signed the contract, with stamps and fingerprints.Because some of the households
The moon rises and falls, night turns to day, and more than a month has passed in a flash.Kurt has signed his first few contracts, all of which are to supply goods to foreign markets.His company gives priority to workers with permanent residence in this area, creating jobs and providing a stable source of income for them.Today, according to a pre-scheduled appointment, Emily and Kurt welcomed customers from abroad to visit the production facility as well as the place that supplies raw materials for production before they decide to sign a contract.Standing in front of the vast mountain of bamboo and rattan, the group of customers appeared very satisfied, some even took out their phones to film and take pictures.“I stood up to assure my boss of your abilities, so don't make me lose face. Quality and production schedules must be guaranteed.” The foreign man spoke up.“Yes, please rest assured, human resources and materials are ready so we will deliver the goods as committed in the c
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Kurt and Emily arrived at Jonathan's house.Emily did not expect that the man she initially felt was a gentle, sincere person had suddenly turned into someone else.Jonathan insisted on canceling the sale contract and accepting compensation according to the binding terms because he and the co-owners of the mountain had signed an agreement with the land purchase company and had already received their deposit.“You should have told us in advance. How could you do that?” Emily shouted angrily.“At first, they hadn't decided to buy it yet, just asking about the price, but this morning they came and finalized the contract, giving me a deposit.” Jonathan made a helpless expression and said.“But we signed a contract to buy bamboo and rattan from you. You have to let us harvest them. You just sell the land to them, right?” Kurt tried to suppress his anger and slowly spoke.“I sell both land and assets attached to the land. Now, if you want to continue
“Kevin, Kevin…” Emily called while running.The chatter quickly stopped and the men's footsteps also immediately stopped.They simultaneously turned their heads to see which employee dared to call the name of the president of Unicons Group directly.And when they saw Emily, they weren't surprised because she could call Kevin that because she used to be Daniel's fiancee.Space and time in the main hall seemed to freeze as soon as Kevin and Emily's eyes met.Kevin's hand in his pocket tightened even though he still tried to keep a calm expression.Why did she appear when he thought he had forgotten her? Is she trying to spin him like a cricket?“Everyone go ahead.” Kevin spoke up and stepped forward.The crowd quickly dispersed, making way for him. The receptionists started to turn on the listening mode with both ears.Emily trembled, trying to breathe deeply. She felt lucky that he agreed to meet her. She even thought he would ignore her after all the hurt she caused him.“What's the p
Seeing Kevin carrying a soaking-wet girl out of the car, Daisy immediately ran after him and went upstairs.Since the night he got drunk, he hadn't stopped by here and now he came back with a girl that made Daisy extremely curious.However, when the girl's messy hair was lifted, Daisy was surprised to realize that this girl was Emily.“Help me change her clothes, I'll go call the doctor.”After saying that, Kevin immediately left the room and dialed the phone number to call Ryan. Inside, Daisy carefully dried Emily's body and then took a simple floral dress to wear for her. Although it is simple, its price is not cheap.Daisy thought these dresses would hang in the closet forever, with no one wearing them, but in the end, their owner returned.When Emily woke up, it was nine o'clock at night. Feeling a bit of pain coming from the back of her hand caused her to open her eyes and realize that the person next to her was Ryan.For a shocking moment, she thought she was back a few months a
Kevin's sudden kiss made Emily's whole body numb. What is he talking about? Did he think her tears fell less than his? He said this marriage was a secret, so how dare he be intimate with her in this crowded place?Seeing her quickly walk to the car first, he smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and leisurely followed.Finally, this little cat also ran into his arms. He did not expect that today, he officially became her husband, recognized by law.“Oh, we haven't had breakfast yet. What do you want to eat?” Kevin looked down at his wristwatch and spoke.“Grilled pork ribs rice.” Emily answered.After Kevin's nod, the car immediately changed direction and stopped in front of a restaurant.Emily still remembers this place. When both of them were students, they came here many times. The value of the rice portion that year and now is very different.“So, the harvesting…”“I told Venn to contact Jonathan. You just ask your workers to go up there and get rattan and bamboo, anyway Unicons gr
As soon as Kevin arrived at the hotel, he immediately called Emily. Hearing her weak voice, he knew that she had a cold.When sick, husband and wife should be together to take care of each other, but now he is in one place and she is in another, making him feel extremely guilty.Yesterday, she was still fresh so he thought she would be fine. Turns out, she was still the same as before, every time she got caught in the rain she got sick.“Let me call Ryan to examine you.” His voice gently rang out on the other end of the phone.“There's no need, I asked Daisy to buy the medicine. I no longer have a fever, but because I just woke up, my voice is a bit difficult to hear.” She said as she pulled the blanket off, got out of bed, and looked at her shabby face in the mirror.“Yes, try to eat and drink, I'll be back with you soon. Now I'm going to rest a bit and then go meet the customer. Goodbye, honey.”Emily put down the phone, and raised her hand to her eyes, gently rubbing the dark circl
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
