06 His Awful Family
"Emily, I heard you're about to be thrown out of the house by Issac?"
The small-nosed, blonde girl was Lizzy Pink, a friend of the Lloyd family. Lizzy had always claimed to have grown up with Issac, but Emily had never seen her in any of Issac's childhood photos, nor had Issac ever mentioned her.
This wasn't Emily's first encounter with such a situation at a Lloyd‘s party. In fact, her years in this ‘old money class’ had made her quite adept at handling such scenes. She put on a fake smile to respond to Lizzy, "I'm sorry, this is between Issac and me, and it's not appropriate to discuss it with you."
Lizzy wrinkled her small, sharp nose, "If you don't tell me now, don't bother. But you'll be thrown out by Isaac soon anyway. I might as well enjoy your sadness in advance."
Emily didn't want to waste any more words with Lizzy. She turned to find her employer for the day, Issac. But Lizzy stubbornly clung to her, refusing to let go, "Emily,

Standing off to the side with his hands hanging down, Issac emanated a somber mood. He cautiously asked, "Emily, do you really want a divorce, do you really want to leave me?”Emily was taken aback, looking at Issac in confusion. She thought she had made it clear that their marriage was irreparable, and their relationship could only end here. "Yes, I've made it very clear," she replied.Issac looked at Emily, his eyes—unreadable to Emily at that moment—fixed on her.

Emily's hand clenched June's arm tightly as she nervously looked at the narrow theatre side entrance, where June had told her the staff would need to enter and exit.June glanced at her and smiled reassuringly, "Emily, relax. It's just a stage management job, not too difficult."Emily took a deep breath, nodded, and then stepped through the small door of the theatre. She could hear her own heartbeat; it was a mix of anxiety and anticipation.Emily and June walked into the grand theatre shoulder to shoulder.

After enjoying a round of champagne at the bar, the trio felt the night was still young. Thus, they moved to a booth, ordering several more rounds of beer.Under the dim lights of the evening, Emily and Colin sat in the corner of the bar, seemingly detached from the boisterous laughter and the clinking of glasses around them.Colin shared stories about his life as an actor, and June recounted amusing anecdotes from her work in drama production. Meanwhile, Emily remained silent."Emily," Colin's voice was low and resonant, as he looked at her with a smile, "I think we should head home. It's getting late, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drive if we drink any more."Emily glanced at her watch. They had already finished work quite late, and now it was nearing midnight.

Emily looked incredulously at the two men before her. They were acting as if engaged in a primal battle for her attention, the prize being a single date with her. A hint of amusement and resignation danced in her eyes. She could see the confidence etched on Colin's handsome face, as if her refusal was nothing more than a coy test.The other man was silent and tense, head bowed, hands clenched.Emily drew a deep breath. Her gaze sweeping over them with unwavering resolve as she firmly shook her head. "No, I cannot go out with either of you. I need to focus on my work." She tried to make her tone as firm as possible, hoping they would respect her decision.Issac, bluntly rejected, wore an expression of surprise. His eyes roved Emily's face in bewilderment, seeking loopholes in her words. "You're just a crew at the theatre, it shouldn't take too much of your time." His tone was filled with disdain, oblivious to the offensive context of his words.Colin laughed, waving his hand to interru

The morning sun illuminated Emily and June's bedroom, rousing them from sleep with the shrill sound of the alarm clock. Emily groggily fumbled to turn off the alarm, rubbing her eyes vigorously. Meanwhile, June rolled directly out of bed, staggering to her feet."Oh, I really don't want to get up for work," June moaned, wide-eyed, looking at Emily."We don't have a choice,” Emily said, climbing out of bed and nudging June into the bathroom as she started to get dressed. “We're broke, we have to earn a living! We need to hurry, June, or we'll be late."As soon as the bathroom door shut, Emily busied herself in the room. She opened the fridge, found two eggs and a pack of sliced bread, immediately shoved the bread into the toaster, and began frying the eggs. By the time June emerged from the bathroom, breakfast would be ready, and Emily could take her turn cleaning up.Emily quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then hastily tied her hair into a simple ponytail.

"Cici," Emily's voice was calm and indifferent. "The yachts and mansions you speak of have never been mine, they belong to Issac. Living in such luxury every day, I may possess the grandeur you see, but I live in constant fear of losing it all. That's not the life I want."Unperturbed by Cici's provocation, Emily gazed around at the bustling crowd. "Now, I'm using my own hands to create my own life. It may be tough, but it's truly mine. I no longer need to worry about losing anything, because I have the ability to earn everything I need." A sense of satisfaction and pride filled her heart, a feeling she'd never felt before. "Those mansions and yachts, if you like them, they're all yours. I don't need them.""But it seems like you desire those things more than I do. Is it because you know they'll never truly be yours?" Emily straightened her back, adjusted her uniform, and then turned to leave the theater.Cici's complexion turned pale, she wanted to refute Emily, but no words came out
