Emily and Andrew left the coffee shop and returned to the company. During this time, due to Emily's efforts, the orders received by the branch company had increased by 20 percent. Although it still couldn't make a profit, it brought the employees hope. Thus, when everyone saw Emily, they would greet her happily. She earned a place in the branch company. If Cecil, the branch company's senior executive, incited the employees to oppose Emily, there would probably not be many people responding. This was quite different from when Emily first arrived. "Cecil, are you looking for me?" Emily met Cecil in the corridor. "I have something to tell you." Cecil had a serious expression. "Alright, come to my office." Emily decided to improvise. Cecil had long been on Emily's suspect list. Emily wanted to see what Cecil could be up to. "Emily, there's a meeting that requires you to attend in half an hour," Andrew said deliberately as he glanced at Cecil. "It won't take long." Cecil ra
Meanwhile, Derek gave himself a rare day off, so he took the initiative to ask Nick and Terry to play tennis with him. "Terry, I'm here." Nick waved his hand happily. It was not easy to make Derek put aside his work. Terry was not as happy as Nick. Nick had just sent the video to Derek yesterday afternoon, and Derek asked them out today. Terry felt uneasy. Nick placed his hand on Terry's shoulder and asked, "Do you think Derek found that his charm was not working, so he wanted to interact more with me?" "Stay away from me. I don't want to be affected by you," Terry said in disgust and pushed Nick's hand away. When they arrived at the tennis court, Derek had already finished warming up. Terry did not know if he was hallucinating. He felt that Derek was full of fighting spirit. Terry felt he must be right. He decided to break off relations with Nick today and resume their friendship tomorrow. Nick did not know about Terry's thoughts. After greeting Derek, Nick began to wa
Emily and Andrew went to a meeting. Cecil walked in front of them. When he returned to the office, Cecil slammed the door in front of Emily to express his dissatisfaction. Emily and Andrew entered the meeting room, ignoring him. The meeting went smoothly. After the meeting, Andrew gave Emily her schedule for the day. "I have something to do tomorrow afternoon. Cancel all the appointments in the afternoon," Emily said to Andrew. She remembered that tomorrow was Friday, and Derek would send Aaron and Ian to her place in the afternoon. She had to go back early. Andrew nodded, and then let Emily check the updated schedule. After returning to the office, Emily took out a bank card from the drawer and handed it to Andrew. Andrew looked at it, but he did not take it. "What is this?" Andrew asked. "You spent a lot of money investigating the hospital. The salary I gave you in advance must not be enough. I can't let you pay for t
Soon, they arrived at Emily's house. As expected, Emily liked the gifts from Ian and Aaron very much. She placed them in her bedroom and put the flowers into a bottle. The room looked more vibrant with the flowers. After sending Aaron and Ian over, Derek couldn't stay for too long. He peeked at her when Emily wasn't paying attention. He wanted to know when she would find out about his card and how she would react. Would she accept it? Derek left the house with anxiety. At that moment, he wished that he could stay too. Chris frowned. Derek looked back before he walked out of the door. Chris found that the side of Derek's face was very familiar. Where had Chris seen it before? Perhaps it was because Aaron and Ian looked like Derek. Chris thought for a long time. However, he couldn't remember, so he had to put it aside first. In the evening, Teresa made a lot of delicious food. Ian liked the corn soup she made very much. The sweet taste of corn melted in h
The next morning, Derek kept a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was in a good mood, especially when he thought of the date at night. He wished that it would get dark soon. Charlie had never seen Derek like this. Charlie peeked at Derek several times. Charlie's family had served Derek's family for many generations. They had been very close to the heirs of the Scott family. They were just like brothers. Charlie served Derek's father at first, but now Charlie served Derek. In Charlie's heart, Derek was his master and he also considered him a son. Therefore, Aaron and Ian were like Charlie's grandsons. "You look happy today? May I ask why?" Charlie asked. Derek was a little different today. "What?" Derek came back to his senses and stopped smiling. "I'm just very happy that Aaron and Ian will be back today. The home is too quiet without them." Charlie nodded in agreement. "Yes, I miss these two little guys too. I wonder how they were doing
When Derek arrived at Emily's house, he found something strange as soon as he entered the house. Ian's and Diane's eyes were red, but they seemed to be very close. They were even closer than before. Derek looked at Emily in confusion. Emily shrugged and didn't tell Derek directly. Derek decided to ask Ian when he had time. When Aaron saw Derek, Aaron knew that his daddy had come to pick him and Ian up. Aaron held Emily's hand and didn't want to go. "Aaron, Derek is here to pick you up. You've agreed with it, right? Derek came to take you back according to the agreement. You should go back on time. You can come back next time." Emily could tell that Aaron didn't want to go, so she comforted him. Aaron pressed his face against Emily's and nodded reluctantly. To Derek's surprise, Ian was also reluctant to part with Emily. Ian held Diane with one hand and Teresa with the other. "Teresa, the food you and Emily made was so delicious. I will miss you."
In the morning, Emily remembered that Aaron and Ian had not called to let her know they were safe after they went back yesterday. Although she knew that nothing would happen to them, she was concerned about them. Emily dialed Derek's number. She didn't know what was going on. Derek didn't answer. She called again. And it took him a long time to pick up the phone. "What is it?" Derek's voice sounded very strange. In fact, he had just been woken up by the phone, and he drank last night, so his voice sounded different. "This is Emily. How are Aaron and Ian? They didn't call me yesterday." Emily placed the phone between her ear and shoulder while typing. "Derek? Are you still listening?" Derek was quiet. Emily wondered if he had hung up the phone. Derek replied, "Aaron and Ian are fine." He tried his best to hold back, yet he did not succeed. Then he quickly said, "Miss Hopkinson, I know it was a little abrupt, but if you don't agree, I won't
Rose heard the constant praise from the crowd and the flashing cameras of reporters. She loved the feeling of being looked up to and admired by everyone. Her smile grew more radiant. She should have had that bitch Emily come so that Emily could see the difference between them. Now, Rose was no longer the shadow behind Emily. Their positions had been reversed. "Miss Hopkinson, will Mr. Scott be here today? Why didn't you attend the dinner party together?" Rose's face darkened. Derek didn't answer her calls, so she didn't even know if he would be here today. "Well, Derek said he would give me a surprise, so I can't answer your question for now." This implied that it was a little secret between her and Derek. People around gave knowing smiles. "I was wondering who was blocking the door. Turns out to be you. Then I'm not surprised since you never think about others." A melodious female voice stood out among a chorus of compliment
