“Here, the soup is getting cold." He extended a spoon toward Emily.Emily's eyes snapped open, and she stared at the man before her. Was she dreaming? Was the person in front of her the CEO's twin brother?"Ppali," Joel urged.Hesitant but curious, Emily took the spoon from him and cautiously tasted the soup, stealing glances at the man as she did.After finishing her meal, Joel snapped his fingers, and a maid cleared the dish."So...tell me, what happened yesterday that made you drink to the point of stupor?" he asked, folding his hands on the table.Recalling the events of the previous day, Emily's face fell instantly."It's nothing," she sighed heavily."Why?... Do you want me to call the industry, huh?" Joel threatened, reaching for his phone."Yah, ani..." Emily waved her hands in the air, hurriedly snatching the phone from Joel, realizing he was faking it.She puffed out her cheeks and sat down next to Joel."So what happened?" Joel asked again."Paint," Emily pouted.Joel narrow
Stephanie turned back to face Emily, a malicious smirk plastered on her face."So, who is the father of your child? One of the men you slept with to climb to the top?" Stephanie sneered, enjoying the discomfort she was causing Emily.Emily stood frozen on the spot, unable to find her voice amidst the humiliation."Do you allow people like this to shop here?" Stephanie turned to the manager, her tone dripping with disdain."If you allow her to continue shopping here, I won't patronize you any longer," she flicked her hair arrogantly.The manager bowed apologetically, "We are sorry, ma'am. We'll escort her out immediately.""Please leave," the manager addressed Emily with a frown, his threat of calling the police hanging in the air.One of the salespersons was signaled to collect the clothes from Emily, ready to strip her of the items she had chosen."Wait," Stephanie raised her hand, a mischievous glint in her eyes.Confusion and curiosity spread among the onlookers as they turned their
Joel had told him, specifically, to follow Emily wherever she was going to and anytime."If you notice anything suspicious or an idiot approach them, don't hesitate to call me and send me the address of where they're at." Joel clicked his tongue."Ye." Stone bobbed his head as he drove behind Emily's car.Funnily enough, Emily was taking Little Pumpkin to a restaurant and the restaurant was not far from Empire World Corporation.Emily held Little Pumpkin's hand as they walked into the restaurant and took their sits. Emily handed the menu over to Little Pumpkin."Ramen." Little Pumpkin looked up at his noona after skimming through the menu.(A/N: ramen means noodles)"Ramen?" Emily couldn't believe her ears."Uhn" Little Pumpkin nodded his head."Why ramen?" Emily
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at her as she found her way to the entrance. They opened their mouths ajar and parted way for her to pass through. Until Emily walked past them, none could speak."Isn't that the newbie?""Did she just step out of that car?""Uwa!""This is unbelievable!""She owns the latest model?""That car can buy my whole generation!""She's so rich!"Stephanie couldn't believe her eyes, she was the most shocked! She had stepped out of her office, and applied make-up, only to welcome that girl?! Her eyes blackened—even more than the back of a pot. What nonsense?!But how come she.... how did that girl... Stephanie didn't know what to think. She opened her mouth in astonishment as she looked back and forth. She made a foo
"You and Joel... Are you together?" Vincent narrowed his eyes."Psht! Yeah, we live together." Emily gulped her shot and poured herself another."So, you are his, ehm..." Vincent cleared his throat uneasily."You are his girlfriend?" He stuttered."Ahhh, Ani." Emily shook her head and gulped down another shot.Vincent stared into space for a while. She wasn't Joel's girlfriend, he smiled.Emily lurched side to side, the alcohol was beginning to affect her."CEO Joel." She smiled cutely as she stared at Vincent."Deo!" She pointed her wavering hand at him."Saranghae," she chuckled.(A/N: saranghae means I love you)"Saranghae" she smiled cutely as she hiccuped."She lurc
Emily stood dumbfounded on a spot; why was Mr. Noah avoiding her? Mr. Noah was one of the sweetest persons she knew but why did he just...Emily's eyelashes wavered slightly. She slowly dragged her feet out of the building. She stepped into her car and a tear escaped her right eye. She was a very emotional type and being ignored by someone was just so emotionally bad.But why was the CEO's personal assistant ignoring her? she sniffed.She picked up her phone and dialed Michael's phone number, he didn't pick up. She dialed Joel's number too, It was switched off.Why was everyone ignoring her? Emily bowed her head as tears brimmed down her face. She wept silently in her car.She was still weeping when she felt a knock on the window. She looked up and Noah looked down. She hastily opened the door and Noah got in."Miss Emily,
Joel's fire-blazing eyes wavered slightly. He stood up on his feet and walked towards the door. He sat down, his arm resting against the door."CEO Joel?" Emily called lightly."I'm sorry..." She wiped her tears and placed her right hand on the lower part of the door.Joel raised his left hand and placed it on the lower part of the door from the inside of the room too."I, am, sorry. I am. What you saw wasn't true,... I only did that because I was drunk!" Emily said amidst tears.Joel clenched his teeth in annoyance. If she kissed Vincent because she was drunk, it meant everything she said, the other day, when she was also drunk, were lies too!He removed his hand from the door and stood up on his feet. He walks back into the farther part of the room, sat on the floor, and lighted a cigarette."CE
Before their lips could collide, Joel and Danielle looked at the doorway immediately they heard the bowl fall. Joel hastily stood up from the couch as soon as he saw that it was Emily. He stared at her with a guilt look plastered on his face. "You, what are you looking at?" Danielle eyed Emily. Emily bowed her head and picked the bowl on the floor. She made to head for the stairs when Danielle stopped her. "Come here," Danielle wagged her index finger. 🌹🌹🌹★★★🌹🌹🌹★★🌹🌹🌹★★★🌹🌹🌹 Joel swallowed the lump in his throat as he watched Emily walk towards them. He looked down at Danielle—what was the witch up to? "Are you not a maid? Why are you wearing an EW designer dress?" Danielle lifted her brows. Emily fidgeted with her hands as she stood before her, she didn't know what to say.
