The rain poured down heavily, drenching the streets. Emily ran without hesitation, plunging into the downpour, not caring about the clothes clinging to her body."Delvin!" Emily called out in panic, her voice nearly drowned out by the torrential rain. Without a second thought, she knelt beside him, her eyes full of concern. "Are you okay, Delvin?" she asked, reaching out to help him up.Delvin looked up, rain dripping from the tips of his hair. His eyes held a trace of worry as he looked at Emily. "Why did you come out here? You're soaked, Emily," Delvin said.Emily shook her head firmly, despite the rain continuing to drench her face. "How could I just stay put seeing someone I care about fall in the middle of this storm? I'm worried! Come on, get up. Let me help you stand."Slowly, Delvin rose, feeling the warmth of Emily's hand that starkly contrasted with the cold rain.His eyes had been fixed on Emily all this time. He remained silent after hearing what Emily had just said.Emily
"I knew it, you would look incredibly beautiful in the outfit I chose,” Marvin said as he entered the room and saw Stella sitting on the bed.His wife looked stunning and sexy in the black lingerie he had bought with Emily earlier.Stella got up from the bed, approached Marvin, and wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him playfully.“Really? Am I beautiful?” Stella asked.“Of course, darling.”Stella stood on her toes, gently kissing her husband’s neck in an attempt to arouse him. As expected, Marvin closed his eyes, savoring the warm touch from Stella.Stella then moved closer to Marvin’s ear. “Am I more beautiful than Emily?” she asked.Marvin’s forehead immediately furrowed as Stella asked, confused as to why she suddenly mentioned another woman.“Of course, you’re more beautiful, darling. Why ask such a thing?”“If I’m more beautiful than Emily, then why did you dare to smile at another woman, huh?” Stella asked, withdrawing her hands from Marvin’s neck and pressing them
Emily woke up, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling of the room. She began to remember what had happened earlier and realized that she had been with Delvin. Her clothes were wet, as were Delvin’s.Then, they had returned to Delvin’s house to change clothes. After that, she and Delvin...As Emily recalled what had happened between her and Delvin, her eyes widened in shock. She turned to see Delvin lying next to her, bare-chested.Emily pulled back the blanket slightly and her eyes widened again as she saw that she was completely naked.“Oh, shit! I went too far. What did I do? Oh my God, Emily, are you out of your mind? Why were you so foolish? This was just a game. Why did you get so emotionally involved?” Emily thought to herself.Suddenly, her phone rang. Emily realized it was her phone ringing and reached for her bag to answer it. Fanny’s name appeared on the screen.Not wanting to wake Delvin, who was still asleep, Emily slid the red panel to decline the call and quickly sent Fanny a
“What should I do, Emily? Please help me,” Marvin said. “I’m so stressed dealing with Stella. Why do women always have to cause problems? They’re too complicated for someone like me with patience as thin as tissue paper.”“I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t help you because I’m also quite stressed,” Emily replied. She said this deliberately because she didn’t want to get further involved.She was torn about whether to continue with Fanny’s plan or not. Honestly, she was starting to feel sorry for Marvin and Stella. She could still make Marvin and Stella’s relationship even worse if she wanted to.This was the perfect time to incite Marvin, as the plan she and Fanny had set up was working out so well. However, Emily now felt reluctant to carry out the plan.Marvin, seeing Emily’s unenthusiastic expression and hearing her mention that she was also stressed, became curious.He looked at Emily seriously and asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Was yesterday’s plan not successful? Did Delvin show no intere
Emily sent the edited voice recording she had made during her conversation with Marvin. She only included the part where Marvin mentioned that Stella was angry with her. After sending the recording, Emily turned off her phone, unwilling to be disturbed. Delvin had been calling her non-stop since this morning, so she decided to shut it off.30 minutes later.Emily got out of bed when she heard the doorbell ring. She frowned slightly, curious about who was visiting her apartment.“Fanny?” Emily called out after opening the door.“Why has your phone been off? I’ve been trying to reach you all day!” Fanny replied, walking in even though Emily hadn’t invited her inside.“Hmmm... it was out of battery, so I was charging it,” Emily lied. “What’s up? Didn’t the recording I sent get to you? I thought it was sent.”Fanny put on her sweetest smile. “I heard it at home earlier,” Fanny said. “I came here because I wanted to get a clearer picture from you. It was difficult to reach you, so I decide
Emily opened the door with a hint of irritation, expecting Fanny to be bothering her again. “What the—” her words were cut off when her eyes met the figure in the doorway. It wasn’t Fanny, but Delvin, standing there with a worried expression on his face.“Emily? Where have you been? Why—” Delvin began, his voice filled with confusion and concern. However, before he could continue, Emily reached out and tried to close the door without saying a word.Delvin was startled, seeing the door nearly closing. Quickly, he reached out and stopped it from closing completely.Meanwhile, Emily pushed against the door with all her strength. A moment of silence enveloped them, with only their breathing audible in the tense air.Delvin looked at Emily with a desperate expression, his voice trembling as he tried to approach. “What’s wrong with you, Emily? Why are you avoiding me? Are you mad at me because we slept together yesterday? Please, forgive me,” he said in a softening tone. “I... I didn’t mean
"Madam Stella, I truly have no relationship with Mr. Marvin. When I hugged him at the mall, I was just overly excited because of my new look. I had never seen myself look that beautiful before. I was also very eager to meet Delvin, so my happiness was multiplied," Emily explained. She then lowered her head and continued, "I'm sorry for being so bold as to hug Mr. Marvin. I regret doing that."Stella, who was sitting across from Emily, still had a displeased expression. She crossed her arms under her chest and shot a sharp look at Marvin, who was sitting beside her."Emily has explained everything, are you still mad? Emily and I really weren’t fooling around," Marvin said to Stella. He reached out and held Stella’s hand. "Please, stop being angry with me. I promise I won’t smile at another woman again.""Okay, I forgive you, and I believe that you two weren’t fooling around behind," Stella replied. "But I'm still upset with you, Marvin! Your eyes were all over Emily when she looked tha
Emily was packing up a few belongings on her desk, getting ready to leave, when Daniel suddenly appeared, standing in front of her desk."Emily? You're... resigning?" Daniel asked, breathless from running."Hm? Yes," Emily replied."Why? Is it because of me? Are you still hurt by what I said the other day in the pantry? And now, after I’ve been bothering you today, you’re even more certain you want to quit?" Daniel asked."Huh? No," Emily replied. "I was a little hurt by what happened in the pantry, but that's not why I'm resigning. There’s another reason, but I can't explain it to you.""Why do you have to resign?" Daniel asked, feeling uneasy about Emily leaving the company. "Isn't there another way besides leaving?""I don’t think so," Emily said with a smile. However, her brows furrowed when she noticed the sad expression on Daniel’s face. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad? Shouldn't you be happy that I'm resigning? This way, you won’t have to see my annoying, perhaps
