Helen paused for a moment before she giggled. "I begged the dormitory supervisor for a long time before she let me come out.""It really wasn't necessary. I just drank too much.""I was worried about you. If I hadn't come see you, I would have been unable to sleep."Jake looked at the enthusiastic and coquettish girl before him, and thoughts of Emily filled his mind subconsciously.Emily's concern was merely surface-level, but the girl in front of him was genuinely filled with him, heart and soul.Jake reached out and gave her a hug. "Baby, sorry to trouble you last night. You even cooked for me."Helen's body stiffened. "Cooked for you?"Jake looked at her expression and frowned slightly, "Wasn't it you who made it?"Helen quickly realized and hurriedly explained, "I’ve just learnt how to make some dishes. The ones I made last night weren’t perfect.""It was really delicious, you did great, baby."After Jake had breakfast with Helen and sent her back to school, when it was t

The next second, Gary's curious voice came, "What's so funny, Miss?"Emily felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Gary talking to her again."Just call me by my name."Gary laughed awkwardly, "Emily, let's add each other on WhatsApp."Emily felt that this person lacked boundaries.He was Wendy's boyfriend, yet he took advantage of her absence to add her on WhatsApp.Emily couldn't help but start suspecting Gary's intentions.She smiled and replied, "Okay."Gary smiled and prepared to lower his phone add Emily when he suddenly heard Emily say, "You can have Wendy send you my WhatsApp."Gary's smile froze.The meaning of the refusal was crystal clear.He could only awkwardly nod.Emily returned her focus to her phone. When Luke saw that she hadn't replied, he sent several more sad face stickers.Emily sighed helplessly and typed a reply."I'll return your scarf today. Do you have time?"As soon as the message was sent, a location message popped up.The Freeman Group o

Emily was rendered speechless.‘What nonsense is Luke saying? It feels kind of grievance.’"You haven't had breakfast?" asked Emily."Nope.""Then go have breakfast now, you don't need to wait for me.""It's fine, I'm not familiar with the area around the company, you know, I just came back to the country, and I don't have many friends.""You've already sent your friends to the sanatorium and you still say you have no friends?" Emily exposed him.Luke paused for a while before replying, "You go ahead and eat with your friend. Friends are more important."After saying that, without waiting for Emily to speak, he hung up the phone.Emily stared at the phone, confused."Emily, who was that?" Wendy asked curiously.Emily put the phone away and casually responded, "A friend."She then sat back in her chair.Wendy leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Emily, don't leave. I promised Zack."Emily nodded and sighed.Wendy immediately started laughing, "Then I'll go with my boyfr

She swallowed the words stuck in her throat and looked at him, waiting for what he would say next.Zack smiled bitterly. "Liking you is real, and not being able to forget you is also real."Emily sighed helplessly. "Zack, there's really no need for this."Zack shook his head. "Back then, you said I was just chasing a fleeting novelty, that I only wanted to compete with Jake, and that I never truly liked you. But deep down, you know the truth—the one who was really competing wasn't me. To this day, I still don't know what I lost to.""It's been so many years. There's no need to dwell on who won or lost."Emily's expression remained indifferent.Unwilling to let it go, Zack pressed on. "Is Jake really that good in your heart?"Emily didn't answer.She couldn't.Was she supposed to admit, in front of Jake's close friend, that the only reason she had stayed by his side was because of his face?If Jake found out, knowing his personality, he would absolutely lose it.Emily dodged

Jake saw Zack's message as soon as he stepped out of the conference room.The last conversation they had was two years ago—on the day they fought.Why did they fight?It had been so long that he couldn't quite remember. He only knew that after that incident, Zack went abroad.Jake sat in his office chair, reminiscing about their school days.Their families were neighbors, their mothers were best friends, and he and Zack had grown up together.They had always been close, but because of Emily, a rift had formed between them.A cliché love triangle.Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from the outside."Jake."Daniel walked in with a fawning smile.Jake withdrew his gaze, lifted his eyes, and glanced at him indifferently. "What do you want?"Daniel grinned cheekily. "Did you call me this morning?"Jake nodded.Daniel leaned in. "Was it about Emily? No need to thank me—it's what a cousin should do."Jake frowned. "Emily? What does she have to do with this?"Daniel fro

Jake clicked his tongue twice and mocked, "You're really generous."Daniel didn't catch the sarcasm in his tone and grinned. "I like her, of course, I have to treat her well. What if I don't, and she runs off with someone else?"Jake looked at him with disdain. "Look at you, with your lack of ambition."Daniel chuckled. "Jake, please help me out.""Fine. I'll have finance transfer the money from my private account for you later."Daniel's face immediately lit up with joy. "Thanks, Jake! I'll head back to school now. Don't forget to send it to me tomorrow.""Get lost."Having achieved his goal, Daniel left happily.Jake leaned back in his chair, thinking about what Daniel had said.So, Emily still cared about him.Since she had already lowered her pride and shown goodwill, as long as she behaved from now on, he wouldn't mind why she was with him.Money wasn't an issue anyway. If she liked money, then he'd give it to her.Once he figured it out, Jake's mood improved significa

Campbell paused for a moment and asked, "Wait... what did you just say? Who took care of you last night?""Emily, who else?""Wasn't it your little girlfriend? I called her last night."When he heard Helen's name, Jake's expression darkened.He hadn't expected Helen to lie to him. It seemed he had been too nice to her.Jake decided to ghost her for a few days, if she didn't change, he would break up with her.He never intended for things with Helen to last long—it was just for the novelty.But he hadn't thought she'd be bold enough to try deceiving him right under his nose.Emily carried her bag and headed straight for the Freeman Group's office building.After registering at the front desk, the receptionist saw her name and smiled. "Miss Sanders, this way, please."With that, she took an elevator card and led Emily to the private elevator.As the doors opened, the receptionist scanned the card for floor access and said politely, "Mr. Freeman is waiting for you in his office

Waving her hand at him, Emily turned and walked out of Luke's office.Almost as soon as she left, Luke quickly picked up his phone and called Liam.As soon as the call connected, Luke urged, "Hurry up and come to my office."Liam hesitated for a moment. "Luke, what's wrong? You don't sound right.""Just get here and take me to the hospital."Emily took the elevator down to the lobby. The receptionist saw her and greeted her politely, "Miss Sanders, are you leaving?"Emily smiled and responded with a nod.Stepping outside, she realized it had started snowing lightly.It seemed like this winter had seen quite a few snowy days.She walked to the underground entrance. She was just about to scan her ticket when her phone rang in her bag.Taking it out, she saw that it was a call from Wendy.Emily answered, "Hello, Wendy?""Emily, hurry! Come quickly—"Wendy's voice was frantic and incoherent. It took a while before Emily could piece together what had happened.After they had l

"So, Wendy, what brings you here? Could it be that you're here to get back together with me? I'm so sorry, but we've already broken up. By the way, you look really ugly right now." Gary's voice was filled with mockery and disdain.Wendy's body trembled with anger and her face was pale.She had never been so mad at a man in her life.She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down, but her heart was still pounding quicker and quicker. It was as if her heart was going to explode.Wendy closed her eyes as she forced herself to remain calm.When she opened them again, her eyes looked completely calm."Yes, you're right. We've already broken up." Wendy's voice was cold and firm.She sounded like she didn't care.Gary was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Wendy to admit so easily that they had broken up.He thought Wendy would continue to make a fuss or beg him to get back together with her. After all, Wendy was the person who pursued him to begin with.However, only

Emily yelled, "Wendy, where are you going?"Wendy was hurriedly putting on her shoes. She gritted her teeth and replied, "Going to find that heartless scumbag and settle things."Emily, hearing this, quickly stretched out her arms to block her. "It's pitch dark outside, and you've just been discharged from the hospital. Your leg is still not fully healed—why are you going to find him?"Wendy paused as if suddenly realizing something. "You are right. My leg hasn't recovered yet."With that, her gaze intensified, falling on Emily."Emily, you should come with me! You'll beat him up for me when we get there."Emily looked at her helplessly, "Wendy, don't be so impulsive! We can talk this through calmly."Wendy widened her eyes in anger, grumbling, "No way! That guy is a jerk, I must go and settle the score with him!"Emily quickly tried to calm her down. "Alright, alright, let's just calm down first."Wendy was unamused. "Calm down my ass. That bastard has been using my money to

"Then why haven't you broken up yet?""I’m waiting for the right opportunity?"Emily paused. "Has the opportunity come now?"Wendy nodded. "It should be coming soon."Just as she finished speaking, Wendy's phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw a new message notification flashing on the screen.She gently tapped the screen, and a conversation window popped up showing a breakup message from Gary.Her brows slightly furrowed, but the corner of her mouth lifted into a barely noticeable smile as she said softly, "And here it is."Then, she handed the phone to Emily, who was sitting beside her, and smiled. "Take a look, he’s a true scumbag. Says he has no feelings anymore."Emily took the phone, glanced at the message, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face as she said, "I didn't have a good impression of him that day either."Wendy looked at Emily curiously and asked, "What happened?"Emily then told Wendy exactly what had happened that day.When Wendy heard it, she imm

The day Wendy was discharged from the hospital, it was Emily who went to the hospital to help her with the discharge paperwork.As for her little boyfriend, Wendy said they had fought again and he had started playing hide-and-seek.Emily was a little speechless but didn't say anything.After leaving the hospital, Wendy suggested going shopping to help her buy some daily necessities.The two of them went directly to the supermarket. After buying what they needed, they took a taxi to Emily's small apartment.Wendy sat in the living room, surveying the room's environment. Looking at Emily who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, she said, "Emily, your place is too cramped. There’s no space to move around if there are two nore people in here."Emily responded while washing the vegetables, "I think it's quite nice. Besides, it's close to several companies I applied to.""You've started looking for a job?"Emily nodded. "Yes, but I haven't found one yet."As soon as she finished s

Emily found herself both amused and helpless. Half-joking, she said, "I guess I'll have to keep my distance from you from now on.""You don't need to.""I'm afraid you'll get triggered and punch me."Luke immediately became displeased. "Emily, are you asking for trouble?"Emily chuckled. "You see..."Luke remained silent for several seconds before saying, "Don't worry. I won't punch you."Emily paused but didn't respond.Luke continued, "Now that you know all my embarrassing stories, shouldn't you tell me some of yours in return?"Emily was slightly stunned. "Me?"Luke responded, waiting for Emily to continue.Emily opened her mouth, "I don't have anything to say.""I've shared my story with you. Are you not going to share? Isn't that a little inappropriate?"Emily was a little speechless. "You're the one who wanted to tell the story, not me..."Before she could finish, Luke interrupted, "Who said I wanted to listen? I'm just curious."Emily muttered under her breath, "Wh

Emily lowered her eyes, fell silent for a moment, then quickly denied, "No, it's just that I misunderstood."There was a slight pause on the other end, and his tone became heavier. "Then which of my actions made you come to that misunderstanding?"Emily felt a wave of embarrassment, staying silent for a while, then explained in a soft voice, "The last time at Jake's house, I overheard what Liam said, that's why I misunderstood.""Is there another reason?""Also, when you helped me put on the band-aid at your grandmother's house."As she spoke, Emily's voice grew softer, almost like the hum of a mosquito.Luke suddenly chuckled.Emily felt both embarrassed and angry, clutching the phone tightly, secretly annoyed in her heart.She didn't need to think to know that the man on the other end was probably mocking her stupidity and childishness."Well, Emily, you really are..."Before Luke could finish his sentence, Emily impatiently interrupted/ "Okay, no need to say more, I unders

Emily carefully looked at the address on the package, it was indeed hers, and the name was also hers.She gently opened the bag, and the aroma of beef and tomatoes filled her nose.Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated. Feeling a little suspicious, Emily walked over and picked it up.It was a call from Luke.She froze for a moment before pressing the answer button. "Hello?"As soon as she spoke, a deep, magnetic voice from the other end of the line came through. "Did you get it?"Emily, still in a daze, replied in confusion, "What?""I knew you'd get so caught up in things that you'd forget to eat, so I ordered takeaway for you."Only then did Emily realize what Luke was talking about. "So it was you who ordered it?""Yeah, surprised?""How did you know the address?""I helped you move, of course I knew."Emily hadn't expected that he had specifically asked for her full address. She tightened her grip on the phone, her heart suddenly racing uncontrollably.She tried to

Emily was a little surprised, as if she had heard something unbelievable. "Are you guys going to help me move my luggage to my house?""What else?"Emily awkwardly smiled and quickly led them towards the elevator.She rented a place on the 19th floor. Although the environment downstairs was a bit shabby, the apartment inside was filled with a warm atmosphere. The simple one-bedroom apartment felt like a cozy little nest, just the right size to contain her dreams and hopes.However, for the two men who were both over 5.9 feet in height, the space in here was a bit small. Just by standing in the living room, even Emily felt a little crowded, as if the room was struggling to breathe."Emily, your place is too small,""I live alone, it's not small.""Well, it'll be inconvenient for me to visit in the future."Emily's lips twitched.She thought to herself, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever invited you.’With that, she turned to look at Luke.Since entering, Luke had said nothing, wanderin

Helen choked on her words, her voice intermittent. "I... I don't want money."Liam spoke without mercy. "You don't want money? Do you want to get beaten again? Be smart. Take the money and go to a hospital."After that, he left one of his business cards and sternly warned her. "If you don't have enough money, contact me. And by the way, I'll remind you, my friend's temper is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode. Don't mess with him."Upon hearing this, Helen nervously raised her eyes to look at Luke.When their eyes met and she saw the cold, murderous look in his gaze, she recoiled, like a frightened rabbit, and began to sob softly.Liam shook his head helplessly and walked in front of Luke, trying to persuade him earnestly. "Luke, why are you so impulsive?"Luke's face remained as dark as ever. He said nothing, took off his expensive jacket, and threw it into the nearby bin as if it were garbage. He then strode toward the car park.Liam glanced at the discarded jacket wit
