381 Longing

About an hour later, the tour bus arrived at the ancient ruins of the Colosseum.The group began slowly disembarking from the bus, with Mr. Anderson anxiously running back and forth, keeping an eye on everyone. He was sweating heavily, making sure none of the elderly tourists encountered any issues.As usual, Miranda was the last to step off the bus.Bert, visibly moved by the sight before him, pointed at the ruins and exclaimed to Miranda, “Emily, I’ve seen this on TV! It looks exactly like this!”Emily?Mr. Satan, who had been following close behind, thought he must have misheard. For a brief moment, it sounded like someone had called out Emily.But then Miranda’s response quickly shattered his hope. “Did you forget my name again? It’s Miranda.”“Oh, right, right, Miranda! Silly me,” Bert replied, chuckling.Mr. Satan, pretending to walk by casually, leaned in and asked quietly, “Miss Carter, do you have a name called Emily?”Miranda shook her head lightly. “My family has a bit of a

382 Beauty and the Beast

Emily wasn’t particularly surprised by Mr. Satan’s arrival.One thing she had learned over the past three years was that every action and word had a purpose.Taking a couple of steps forward, Emily sat down on a bench reserved for tourists. Mr. Satan followed her, as expected. Though he no longer hid his interest in her, he still maintained a polite distance, making sure not to make her feel uncomfortable.“The Colosseum was once filled with blood, violence, and death. I doubt anyone watching the events here thousands of years ago could have imagined that it would one day become a tourist attraction, with benches for resting and ticket booths nearby,” Mr. Satan said lightly, his raspy voice somehow blending with the historical weight of the place.Emily had no interest in delving into people’s pasts. By now, everyone carried their own stories, stories not easily unraveled by strangers.“Thousands of years, and everything changes,” Emily said as her eyes drifted toward the horizon. “Ti

383 No Reason

Emily walked over to where a few older men were standing, translating the sign for them. “It says: ‘Please protect the monuments and facilities. Do not climb over the railings. Please dispose of trash properly, and make sure to sort it into the appropriate bins.’”Bert paused for a moment, exchanging glances with the other men before bursting into laughter. “Oh, so that’s what it says! We were trying to guess if it was a historical description of the Colosseum.”If they wanted more detailed historical information, they'd have to find the tour guide. But when they looked around, Mr. Anderson was nowhere in sight.The group didn’t seem to mind, though. “It’s nice to explore on our own. Feels freer this way,” one of the men remarked.Bert nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I came out here to get some fresh air and relax, not be rushed around.”With that, the group slowly began walking ahead again.Bert turned back to Emily. “Hey, Miranda, want to join us?”Emily shook her head with a smile. “No

384 The One She Cared About in the Past

Mr. Anderson chuckled. “That gentleman looked like a big boss. He probably makes back the money he spent on this trip in a minute!”An older man sitting nearby asked, “If he’s so rich, why’d he join a low-budget senior tour group like ours? Five hundred euros wouldn’t even cover the cost of his round-trip flight.”Mr. Anderson glanced slyly in Emily’s direction, grinning. “Maybe the trip wasn’t the main attraction for him…”At his comment, the group’s curiosity shifted, and it didn’t take long for most of them to piece it together. The young woman traveling with her uncle, sweet, kind, and attractive, had probably caught the big boss’s eye. That’s why he joined the tour.Bert, however, wasn’t too pleased with the speculation. He nudged Emily’s shoulder, speaking softly. “Miranda, switch seats with me. I get dizzy looking out the window.”After they swapped seats, Bert sat upright, shielding Emily from the group’s gossiping eyes.His silent gesture made it clear, and the others quickly

385 A Perfect Match

The first day of the trip passed in a blur of exhaustion and long hours on the road.It was exactly what one would expect from a budget tour.They had only visited the Colosseum, and the rest of the afternoon was spent shuffling between various shopping stops. The people on the tour were less than pleased, but there was little Mr. Anderson could do—it was the company’s itinerary. At this price, visiting too many tourist spots would have put the travel agency out of business.By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past 11 p.m. Mr. Anderson, after seeing all the elderly tourists safely to their rooms, collapsed onto a sofa in the lobby, thoroughly exhausted.As Emily passed by the front desk, the receptionist called out to her. “Miss Carter, there’s a package here for you.”“A package?”“Yes,” the receptionist replied, handing over a slim envelope. “It was delivered this afternoon. Since you weren’t here, we signed for it. Please check for any damage.”The packaging was

386 All Stories Are the Same

In the following days, Emily stayed in Rome, accompanying her Uncle Bert as they explored the city. Although Bert enjoyed visiting some of the historical sites, he struggled with the local cuisine. Being in his middle years, he found it difficult to adapt to the food in a foreign country. While the sights brought him joy, the meals left him uncomfortable. In fact, after a few attempts to avoid troubling Emily to fetch him food, he forced himself to eat local dishes, only to end up with a bad case of food poisoning, leaving him feeling weak and drained.Emily grew increasingly concerned. “Uncle, let me take you to the hospital. You’re not looking well.”But Bert firmly refused. “If I can’t handle the food here, what makes you think I’ll do better in one of their hospitals? I’ll be fine. I just need a few days of rest. When we get home, the first thing I’ll do is have a proper meal.”No matter how hard Emily tried to convince him, Bert adamantly avoided anything related to Rome. Instead

387 A Firm Decision

“That’s different,” Dylan responded smoothly. “Our CEO isn’t very experienced in negotiations, but almost every deal The Great Wall Group has made was handled by me. I believe I have better negotiation skills than him.”Emily remained noncommittal. “I won’t deny that, Dylan, but I’ve already accepted the offer from Stardream Group. I’m not the kind of person who backs out at the last minute.”“In business, just like in war, there’s nothing you can’t do if you set your mind to it. If you agree, The Great Wall Group will take care of everything, and you won’t have to worry about a thing.”Dylan’s relentless pressure made Emily frown slightly. “This isn’t about worry, Dylan. I’m genuinely happy with Stardream. I want to work with them. It’s not about salary or benefits.”“So, Miss Carter, it sounds like your mind is made up?”“That’s right,” Emily nodded. “I’ve made my decision.”Dylan gave a disappointed but resigned smile. “Well, in that case, I won’t push any further. Just know that t

388 Fate Intervenes

The driver grumbled under his breath but took the money, seemingly relieved to drop them off and make a quick U-turn. The traffic ahead looked terrible, and nobody knew how long they’d be stuck.Emily helped Bert out of the car and knocked on the trunk, signaling for the driver to open it so they could retrieve their luggage. However, instead of complying, the driver slammed on the gas and sped off, leaving them standing there in shock.Bert cursed loudly. “What kind of person does that? We paid him, and we even tried to be considerate about his time! This feels like robbery! All our stuff is in there!”Luckily, Emily had all the important items like passports and documents in her handbag, so they wouldn’t miss their flight.“It’s fine. Getting on the plane is more important right now. We didn’t have anything too valuable in the luggage. I’ll transfer some money to your account once you’re back home, and you can replace whatever you need,” Emily reassured him.Bert sighed, looking dis

389 A New Beginning

The CEO of Stardream Group turned out to be a young British man, barely in his early thirties. He had the quintessential English look—fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Everything about him exuded politeness and the mannerisms of a classic English gentleman."Hello, Miss Carter. Welcome to Stardream," he greeted with a smile, his voice warm and professional.Emily returned his smile with grace. "It’s an honor to be here."“Haha, I saw you on the live broadcast during the Pritzker Prize ceremony, and now meeting you in person... You really are the quintessential beauty.”Emily smiled politely. "You’re a true British gentleman.""Charming," the man laughed. "Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Adam, the current CEO of Stardream. I recently took over the company and am eager to build my leadership team. I admire your expertise, and I’d like to offer you the position of Director of Design. I believe my HR director already discussed the salary and benefits with you over the phone, but

390 Future Girlfriend

Emily raised her hand with a smirk. “Come on, let’s go. What do you want to eat? Today’s my treat.”Jackson exaggerated his reaction, feigning shock. “Wow, the Director of Design at Stardream Group is treating me to a meal? What an honor! I think I should commemorate this moment somehow.”“How are you going to—hey, what are you doing?”Before Emily could finish her sentence, Jackson pulled her into an embrace, wrapping his arm around her waist and planting a quick kiss on her cheek. He snapped a selfie at the same time, capturing the moment.“What the—”Jackson looked smugly at the picture on his phone, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. “Finally! After all these years, I’ve managed to steal a kiss.”Emily frowned and reached into her bag for a tissue to wipe her face. “You got your saliva all over me.”But Jackson grabbed her hand before she could wipe it off. “Nope, no wiping. This is my first kiss, and it’s too memorable. I need to take more pictures before you erase it.”
