Emma's POV I nodded my head again, a sign that I understood what Scarlett was saying. We finally went back to work, but Scarlett said goodbye for a moment to take out last night's trash that she forgot to throw out. I nodded my head and let Scarlett take out the trash. However, as I followed Scarlett's body which was getting further away, I thought I saw a man standing near Scarlett and chatting with the man, but his face was very familiar even though the man was wearing a mask and a thick jacket. I frowned, I thought the man was Scarlett's boyfriend because so far it seemed as if Scarlett had never had an intimate conversation with a man. In my heart, I smiled and immediately continued my work without thinking too much, especially as I felt that this man was Scarlett's business and I should not interfere in their affairs. Logan's POV I saw him come face-to-face with James Parker. There isn't the slightest feeling that makes me want to help him or let him
Logan's POV "Just wait, then you'll know what time we close, don't ask too many questions." Scarlett looked at me with a cynical look, I could only exhale lazily because that woman made me have to wait. "But waiting for her is like me waiting for something uncertain!" I got annoyed but Scarlett didn't care what I said, of course I got annoyed. I immediately left the place with mixed feelings, between annoyed and tired of waiting for that woman. From a distance, I could see Emma getting ready to go home. I wanted to approach that woman but it was difficult for me to do. Yes, it's not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, I can't possibly just approach her. I looked closer and behind me, there was Scarlett who seemed to be giving a code that I shouldn't get too close to Emma and could only see her from a distance. I complied, I didn't demand more than what was given at all. After walking for a while, I couldn't think about what to do after t
Logan's POV “Yes, yes, yes, it's up to you. Have fun waiting." After saying that Scarlett just walked away leaving me alone again. Well, at least it's better to be alone! Instead of being with Scarlett, the woman scolded me. I took shelter here for quite a long time, until the night before. I could see Emma like she was done working. I could see the tired look clearly on the woman's face. I followed Emma's steps carefully. Of course, I've been wearing my mask since earlier. I'm also not ready if Emma finds out the real facts. I could see the woman entering a mini market, I waited a few minutes. After that, he came out carrying a black plastic bag. There I could see biscuits. Ah, that's a souvenir for my children? I followed Emma, but I also kept quite a distance, I didn't want Emma to get suspicious. Emma also looked back several times, it seemed she realized that I was following her. People looked strangely at me, bu
Emma's POV “Ah, never mind. Forget it. I wanted to find something for you, that’s why I’m here,” Joseph asked, looking at me seriously.“What exactly are you talking about?”“About my offer at the party, the discount is still valid for you, how about it? Do you want to hire me?” he asked innocently again.Crazy! That guy is really crazy!“No! How many times have I told you that I’m not interested in things like that at all? Everything I went through was just an accident!” I explained.“Yeah, I know. But there’s nothing wrong with it if you want, Ah, can I stay at your house for a few days?” I widened my eyes when I heard his words.Is that guy sane? We just met, I didn’t let him in, and what time? Does he want to stay for a while? Seriously! Is he sane? “We’re just helping each other, isn’t that beneficial to us?” he continued while looking at me seriously.“You’d better get out of here than say something unreasonable like this!” I said in annoyance.“Are you kicking me out?” he
James’s POV Now I am already neat with my shirt. Today is indeed a holiday, and I also planned to go on a date with Thea. What's wrong with me looking for a new atmosphere? I've been looking at my cell phone that rang several times, yes, it was Thea. I just glanced briefly, then returned to focus on the activity of buttoning my shirt. Indeed, Thea has been sending a lot of messages and calling since earlier. I feel very embarrassed because the woman doesn't seem to give me time to enjoy my own time. Initially, Thea was the one who invited me first, but the one who would come to my house was the woman, not me who approached the woman. This is so ridiculous! But the reality is like that, Thea is the one who will approach me at home. After everything is done, I immediately grab the flat object containing a thousand people. I immediately pick up my ringing phone. "Gosh, where have you been, me?" I've been calling you since earlier, but why didn't you reply?" Thea asked over th
James's POV "James, how about we have lunch? I'm really hungry, do you want to find food here? Or at a restaurant?" Thea asked, trying to change the subject."How about we go to the mall first, is there anything you want to buy? I'll pay, how about it?" Thea, who heard it, immediately nodded enthusiastically.Currently, Thea and I are in a shopping center. Thea is, of course, very happy about this.How come? Walking with a handsome and established man, isn't that a sign of good luck for her?Thea certainly seems to have found a diamond when she is close to me. I am loyal to Thea. Just like this, I have become a noble, what if Thea can become my wife? Isn't it certain that Thea's life will be happy for seven generations? How can that be? Since I had offered Thea expensive goods, of course, Thea didn't want to waste the golden opportunity. "It's not a loss for me to ask me out," the woman muttered hap
James’ POV I looked at Thea with a forced smile. “Sure, I can do that,” I said, trying to hide the nervousness that suddenly crept in. But, deep down, I was hesitant. I felt like I wanted to keep this relationship the way it was, without having to get involved in anything more serious. I enjoyed spending time with her—dinner, movies, late-night talks—but meeting her parents? That felt like a big step I wasn’t ready to take. We continued to wait for our orders, but my mind wandered, trying to find an excuse to avoid Thea’s sudden invitation. But Thea’s expectant gaze kept haunting me. I knew she was serious about this, and I didn’t want to disappoint her. After what felt like hours, our food finally arrived. The food looked delicious, as expected. We started eating, and Thea looked so happy, telling me how delicious the food was and how happy she was to be spending time with me. I tried to enjoy the food and the supposedly pleasant atmosphere, but my mind kept returning to her ear
James’s POVI could see that they were impressed, even though there was a lingering doubt in their eyes. Thea sat beside me, looking a little anxious, as if afraid that this conversation would turn into an endless interrogation. But I knew I had to stay calm and maintain control.“And what are your plans for the future, James?” her father asked, his tone a little sharper this time. “We wanted to know how you see your future with Thea.”The question made me want to laugh, but I held it in. A future with Thea? I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to pursue a more serious life with someone yet. But I couldn’t show my doubts in front of them.“I see a bright future with Thea,” I replied, trying to sound sincere. “She’s an amazing woman, and I’m sure we can achieve a lot together. I plan to continue growing my business, and of course, Thea will always be an important part of every decision I make.”I could sense that her mother was still not entire
