Chapter 30: Trying To Prevent – 1
The shiny car slowly turned into the gate and drove into the parking lot. Emily was no longer in a hurry to run away like before. She obediently sat still, waiting for her boyfriend to open the car door and help her get out of the car.
“If you feel uncomfortable, let me tell my brother to return you to me, at best, bring his girlfriend to take your place.” Daniel stroked her hair and said lovingly.
“It’s Okay. He doesn’t mix work and love. We shouldn’t make him angry anymore. He can’t hit me.”
Daniel smiled and gently pinched her bulging cheeks. Being with her, he feels like he is stepping into a fairy tale where she is a lovely, innocent, stupid princess.
She’s right, his brother doesn’t mix love and work, at home he behaves differently, and when he comes to the company he behaves differently. To put it simply, he distinguishes between public and private work very clearly.
When Emily entered the office, she saw Kevin sitting behind a stack of documents. Since the day she fainted and had to be hospitalized, he also kept a key.
“Good morning, General Director.”
She bowed her head and quickly went to her desk, looking over his schedule for today.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, he had a meeting with his partners and if she guessed correctly, perhaps after the meeting ended, he would be invited to dinner by them. What matters is whether he accepts or not.
“Emily, you promised not to cling to Daniel.” He said, his eyes still glued to the computer screen.
“You also promised to take care of me for the rest of my life.” She looked straight at the man and calmly replied.
“Not the same.”
“Same.”
Kevin was forced to raise his face when he heard her talking back to him. Who gave her this courage? Daniel? It seemed that she was opening his eyes more and more. Is she relying on his younger brother to oppose him?
“Break up.”
“No. I will never break up with Daniel.”
“Why didn’t you say this to me when you loved me?”
His eyes widened, and the pen in his hand flew to the floor and bounced a few times.
Emily knew that he was very angry. She understood that it was difficult for him to accept that she would become his sister-in-law. However, the past is the past, he and she both have to struggle to continue living.
He has found a happy place for himself, why can’t he close his eyes and let go of the past?
“Why is that person Daniel? You can choose another man.” His voice became weaker.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Dear General Director, the wise bird chooses the branch to perch on. Daniel is a good person, I…”
Before she could finish speaking, he burst out laughing, a smile full of pain and self-mockery.
So does she mean he’s a bad guy? Does she mean he’s an unstable branch? The sharp pain coming from his heart made it difficult for him to breathe. He feels so much pain.
Not wanting her to see his pathetic appearance, he picked up a stack of payment orders, slammed them down on the desk, and told her to take them to the accounting department.
He doesn’t believe he can’t stop this love affair. He did not believe that his younger brother dared to disobey his parents to come to her.
Once they know that she is the girl who hurt him and made him lose his feelings for women, they will not let her step foot into their house.
Emily quickly grabbed the payment orders, ran out of the room, and went straight to the elevator.
Kevin’s eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone. She didn’t think he hated her that much.
He told her to choose another man. Who? Up to now, only Daniel and Brian are the two people trying to pursue her.
However, her father did not like Brian and the important thing was that her feelings towards that man were similar to friendship, she was not sure anymore, she felt that he was only suitable to be her brother. Furthermore, she and Jennifer are enemies.
Kevin’s reminder made her think about Brian. And right now, Brian was also thinking about her when he heard his father suddenly say that the youngest daughter of the city party secretary had just returned from studying abroad and her father wanted to arrange a meeting with him.
“I already like one girl, I don’t want to meet another girl. But if it’s a business cooperation, it’s okay.” He replied frankly.
“Who? If you have a lover, why don’t you bring her home to meet your parents and then consider getting married? You think you’re still very young, right?”
“She is James’s daughter. I am still pursuing her.”
“Then stop right now, that family is about to go bankrupt, and the Wine company is just an empty shell.”
“What did you just say, Dad?”
Kent picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and then slowly told his son about the current financial situation of the Wine Company.
According to the information he heard from senior leaders of large banks, Wine’s loans and interests were almost overdue, and maybe later this month, banks will simultaneously sue.
“I heard that James also borrowed money from gangsters. Don’t get involved with that girl.” Kent said as he waved his hand to signal his son to return to his office.
Remembering Emily’s sad face, Brian guessed that it was probably because of family burdens.
Thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and called his friends who worked in banks, asking them to confirm the information for him.
“Emily, you are so pitiful.”
Being called by Brian, Emily sneezed several times. She completed the task assigned by her boss a long time ago but did not dare to go in, facing his battlefield-like face and kept standing outside the door. However, in the end, she still had to step in.
Fortunately, throughout the afternoon, he did not mention anything to her anymore, he did his work, she did her work, everyone did their own work.
When the meeting time came, she was still running behind him and when the meeting ended, he agreed to go out to eat with his business partner but did not ask her to follow.
After locking the office door, she leisurely left the company. Today, her new boyfriend was busy going to a neighboring province to survey some plots of land. He hadn’t returned yet, so she went to the bus stop and waited.
Normally people are very happy when they have a boyfriend, but she just felt sad, very sad.
She felt her heart was divided into two halves, one half missed Kevin, and the other half thought about Daniel. She hates herself.
“Brian?” She wondered when she saw the license plate of the car pulling over.
As soon as the car stopped, the windshield was quickly pulled down, revealing the handsome but sad face of the deputy general director of GE Corporation.
After that volunteer trip, only now did the two have the opportunity to meet again.
“I have something to tell you. Please get in the car. After talking, I will take you home.”
Seeing the dark clouds gradually approaching, she nodded, opened the car door, and sat next to the driver’s seat.
She also didn’t understand why she didn’t feel insecure about this man when she was with him even though he was Jennifer’s brother.
In short, she found him to be a decent person, not crazy like his cheeky sister.
“I’m sorry. What happened between you and Jennifer, I know it was my sister’s mistake first.” Brian spoke up when she sat down next to him.
“That happened a long time ago, moreover, she and I won’t see each other anymore.”
Her words made Brian disappointed. Does that mean that she and he won’t be able to go further?
Bank employees said James is still keeping silent, there is no way to handle the Wine company’s debts. That means the Wine company has not received any help yet.
The car merged into the crowded traffic and stopped next to the park because Emily refused Brian’s invitation to dinner. She said her father was waiting at home and she had to go home and cook dinner for him.
“Emily, I can help you revive the Wine company, I can contact the bank and will…”
“No need, there’s already a man helping me.” She quickly spoke up to interrupt him.
“Who? Kevin? Emily, no one has yet contacted the bank to resolve your father’s company’s bad debt situation.”
“That person is Daniel, the youngest son of Matthew. I met his family yesterday. All will be resolved by him.”
After saying that, she bowed her head to say goodbye, opened the car door, and walked out, leaving the man sitting motionless inside.
No matter how rich Brian’s imagination was, he never imagined that she would become the girlfriend of Daniel, Kevin’s future sister-in-law.
Apparently, with his own eyes, he saw Kevin enter her tent and sleep until morning, then the two of them separated from the group and went in another direction when everyone returned to the city.
“What’s up? What is happening? Kevin also agrees, huh?”
Brian was still thinking that Kevin and Emily had just reconciled and Kevin still didn’t know about Wine’s debt or he knew but didn’t help.
Therefore, Brian took this opportunity to offer to help her, but he did not expect that he was slower than Daniel.
Although the highest power at GE Corporation is still held by Brian’s father, over the years, his own business has helped him accumulate a large amount of money, combined with relationships in large banks, so he believed he could help the Wine company turn around capital and slowly regain its position in the market.
Brian’s car was a limited vehicle and there was only one in the country, so Kevin quickly recognized it as soon as his car stopped in front of the restaurant gate opposite the park.
And he also saw the graceful figure of his assistant when she walked out from there.
“Oh, general manager, please turn inside.” A man approached and spoke when the windshield was just lowered by Kevin.
“Ah, sorry.”
He quickly rolled up the windshield and drove the car into the restaurant gate. Following him, other cars also drove inside one after another.
Just now he drove back to the Gold Hotel, took a shower, changed clothes, then came here and saw that scene.
Kevin didn’t understand what kind of relationship Emily had with Brian. She just returned home but seems very close to him. Could it be that they knew each other before?
So many thoughts rushed in that Kevin almost crashed into a car parked near the parking lot.
