Chapter 61

“I like them.” Asher felt that just saying it did not fully express how he felt. He raised his arms and moved them as far apart as he could. "I really, really like them!"Landon was amused, "I’m glad you do. Come on, Ash, let's see what you’ve got.""Okay," Asher said as he happily approached Landon. He flipped through the pile of things with Landon while chatting and laughing.Emma stared at them for a while, said nothing, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.After finishing dinner that night, when Emma saw Asher return to the suite, she thanked Landon, "Thank you for everything you’ve done for Asher."Landon was in an extremely good mood. He was smiling from ear to ear. Asher had already become so attached to the things Landon had bought for him. Landon had savored the joy he felt when he watched Asher’s excited reaction. Unfortunately, Emma ruined the moment for him."How much were those things? I'll transfer the money to you." Emma mentally calculated the money in

Landon stared at the closed door of the suite, and his vexed emotions kept accumulating. Just when he was about to reach his limit, the door to the suite suddenly opened, and Emma walked out. She calmly closed the door behind her, approached as if nothing had happened, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Landon. I got a bit emotional earlier."I felt like you had given us too much, and I felt unworthy of it. I overreacted just now, and I shouldn't have lost my temper." She had figured it out inside the room.Landon was her ‘employer’ now, paying her a monthly living allowance of ten thousand dollars.He would be her boss for a year. What was wrong with a boss having emotions? Shouldn't employees endure a bit of scolding from their employees? Moreover, it was Landon spending money on Asher. Why was she being so sensitive?Landon stared at Emma fixedly. Although she had apologized, he felt uncomfortable. The source of his discomfort seemed different from a moment ago. He could no

Emma returned to her suite, played with Asher for a while, bathed him, and put him to sleep before heading to work. Emma was not someone who dwelled on things, especially since it was her failure to establish the right perspective with Landon. Why should she feel bad?After a busy night, she rushed home in time to prepare breakfast, she changed her clothes and began cooking."Having pastries today?" Landon's voice echoed from the kitchen doorway."Yes. What would you like to drink, Mr. Landon? Egg soup, milk, or soy milk?""Egg soup," Landon replied, then corrected her, "Don't address me like that. We’d be easily exposed."Emma promptly corrected herself, "Alright, Landon."She would unquestionably meet the boss's requirements."Mommy..." Asher called out and he walked out of the suite."Oh..." Emma put down what she was holding, turned around, and went out, "Are you awake, Ash? Sit here for a while. We'll be ready to eat soon.""Mommy's hands are oily so I can’t hold you no

"Indeed," Emma admitted without hesitation."You've got some nerve!" Barbara's voice suddenly escalated as she launched into a tirade. "You even blocked my calls. I raised you and this is how you treat me?"You, ungrateful child! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for your sins?" Barbara's insults flowed freely. Emma had long grown accustomed to such venomous words and responded matter-of-factly, "It doesn’t bother me. I'm hanging up now.""This weekend we're having a family gathering at your grandma's house so you need to be there," Barbara told her. "Bring your husband too so that everyone can meet him. You're married now. Don't let others gossip about you. Bring Asher along too.""I won't be going," Emma bluntly refused."You..." Barbara became agitated. "Don't you dare! This is a great opportunity to save your reputation."Emma chuckled coldly, ignoring the sting in her heart. "I don't need anyone’s validation. Asher is fine without it, and so am I!"Emma ended the

He had seen such tactics used before. It was quite amusing. He, a seasoned predator, unexpectedly got pecked by a goose.Calvin watched as Landon's expression suddenly turned sour, and he nervously asked, "What's wrong?" Just a moment ago, Landon had praised the team for completing the project so well. So why the sudden change?"Nothing," Landon sighed, "just thinking about some things." Suddenly Landon burst into laughter. He pointed at himself and asked, "Do I look like a fool to you?"Calvin’s eyes widened and he looked at Landon in astonishment. "Who's the brave soul that thinks so?" Back then, some people dared to bully Landon because of his age, especially after Landon's parents suddenly passed away. Still, Landon single-handedly kept the Stirling Group afloat.At the time, outsiders thought the Stirling Group would fall into chaos. Many were eyeing the opportunity to own a share in Stirling Group. The result was that not only were their efforts successfully repelled, b

Calvin let out a heavy sigh, deeply pained to see his childhood friend change like that.Unaware of Calvin's thoughts, Landon headed downstairs and walked out through the lobby. However, before reaching the front desk, he came to a sudden halt.Landon squinted slightly. Emma was quite resourceful having managed to find out his company's address. He could not recall ever mentioning where he worked. It appeared she was more cunning than he had initially thought.Being intimately familiar with his own company, Landon knew where to stand to remain unnoticed while still able to hear Emma's words. Little did Emma anticipate that her simple task of delivering a meal would unravel into a tangled web of complications."Miss Amy, I've placed your meal at the front desk. Don't forget to come down and pick it up. Have a pleasant dining experience. Goodbye." Emma had just finished a call with a customer when someone smacked her shoulder. Though unintended, the force behind the blow caused her g

Bella took out her phone, dialed a number, and as soon as the call connected, she exclaimed, "Darling, guess who I just saw?"My former roommate, Emma!" Bella sighed with regret, "Goodness, can you believe it? Emma is now delivering food! She was such a bright student, and now she's doing this.""If it weren't for her getting involved with a man and getting pregnant right before graduation for money, she wouldn't have ended up like this... Oh well, I won't bother you with this. I have to sign a contract over here."Once the contract is signed, I'll have a strong say in the company. I feel sorry for Emma. After I wrap up my affairs, I'll find her a job. After all, we were classmates. I can't bear seeing her in this state. Alright, I'll hang up now."Bella ended the call and smiled. Back in school, Emma had been so popular. She was liked by many teachers and pursued by guys, including Bella's current husband, who had once been one of Emma's admirers!Things had changed and they shou

In their pursuit of a collaboration with Stirling Group, the Mortimers had exerted every ounce of effort. For nearly two months every employee including Mr. Mortimer himself had not enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep.The collaboration was not just their company's most significant deal, it was also a battle for his daughter to establish her authority. In every aspect, there was no room for error.Fortunately, based on Mr. Karev’s feedback, it seemed like they were on solid ground. Mr. Mortimer was waiting anxiously for the signature that would seal the deal."Well, I appreciate your company's sincerity and approach to business. However, I have one matter I'd like to inquire about," Mr. Karev said with a smile.Mr. Mortimer promptly responded, "Please go ahead, Mr. Karev."Mr. Karev got straight to the point, "I’d just like to confirm, will Miss Bella be the one handling and overseeing the work ahead?""Absolutely," Mr. Mortimer proudly declared. "Despite my daughter's age, she ha

Mr. Karev hung up the phone and politely smiled at Bella, "Miss Bella, I must take my leave."Mr. Karev nodded and promptly left the meeting room. At the same moment, Bella's phone began ringing incessantly. She hesitantly checked the caller ID. Her hands were trembling.Bella did not want to take the call, but she knew she had no choice, "Dad... okay, I'll be right back."Bella's ears nearly went deaf from her father's furious yelling on the phone. She ended the call, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly left Stirling Group’s office.Little did Bellan know, her disheveled appearance caught Landon’s eye. He was leisurely sipping coffee on the roadside.As Landon finished his last sip of coffee and tossed the cup into a nearby trash can, he returned to the building with relaxed steps. Calvin approached him as soon as he entered his office. "I've reviewed the contract with the Mortimers. The terms are quite favorable for our company."And Landon still would not sign it?Landon sat bac

"Mmm." Landon nodded slightly. He was not at the point of openly expressing his emotions.Landon went to his suite to change clothes before returning. Emma had already skillfully served the dishes.After sitting down, Landon glanced at one of the dishes on the table. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. It was evident that the dish had not been freshly prepared but had been reheated instead. "Next time, don't bring home leftover dishes."Emma paused, then immediately looked at Asher beside her. He too appeared puzzled, a helpless and confused look on his face. It made Landon wonder about what was going on.Smiling, Emma took Asher’s hand. "Ash, did Mom tell you before that there are many people in this world, and what one person likes, another may not. The things you like...""...don't necessarily appeal to others," Ash quickly interjected, recovering with a cheerful smile."That's right. You remember," Emma said with a smile. "What others like doesn't mean you have to like too, rig
