Beloved Old Lover

Chapter 76: A peaceful day



After a good night’s sleep, Emily woke up and quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, had breakfast, and sat at the sewing machine.

Her sewing speed is very fast, but thread cutting takes her a lot of time. She wished someone would help her cut the threads.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Although Kurt invited her to cooperate in making money, that was a matter of the future, and for now, she had to work hard and do this job well.

“Good morning, have you had breakfast yet?” Kurt looked at her through the window, held up two portions of food, and asked.

“Oh, I already ate.”

“You wake up so early, you’re such a hard-working bee.”

“The door is not locked.”

He nodded, pushed open the door, entered the small room, placed a portion of food on the kitchen counter, then sat on the floor and ate the rest.

Emily glanced at the man, smiled slightly, and continued working. Kurt always made her feel like he was family, and friendly and made her feel secure when she was with him.

Seeing that she stopped sewing and focused on cutting the thread, after finishing eating, he immediately took the scissors from her hand and signaled her to continue.

She wondered if he could read minds, so he knew she wished for someone to help her.

“How many days will you go?” Her voice mixed with the constant sound of the sewing machine.

“Tuesday. Exactly on Tuesday night, I will return to the airport.”

The space fell silent, only the sound of the sewing machine rang out as Emily worked. The scene in the room at this time seems to depict a couple diligently earning money.

Emily didn’t know that her peaceful days of sheltering from the storm were about to end when Kevin sent investigators to the Paradise pub.

However, he still couldn’t believe that Emily worked there. What he received was a photo of her getting in the car at two o’clock in the morning with a man with an amazing physique.

“The photo was taken last night, this morning the pub was closed so I haven’t been able to ask anything yet. I don’t know if she works there or goes drinking.” Venn said in a low voice.

“Emily is not someone who likes to hang out and drink all night long.” Kevin put the photo in the desk drawer and replied.

“Yes.”

After Venn left, the room was left alone with Kevin. He took out the photo and stared at the man next to her.

He knew this girl had a charm for men. But he believes in her personality, at least, she will not easily start a love relationship with someone when his younger brother has passed away in less than a hundred days.

An intense working day passed quickly and when dusk fell, the employees one by one left their chairs to return to their homes.

Lisa neatly folded the documents on Venn’s desk and bowed to him before leaving the office.

Tomorrow is Saturday, according to the schedule, they will start early, in the morning everyone can go out separately and in the evening they need to gather to meet young entrepreneurs.

As soon as Lisa returned to the rented house, she immediately took a shower and went to the wardrobe to choose clothes.

Looking back and forth, she still couldn’t find any dresses she liked even though when she bought them, she was very satisfied.

Thinking for a while, she quickly changed clothes and went to find her mother, inviting her to go shopping with her.

“What kind of clothes does the girl that Kevin used to like wear, Mom?” Lisa asked while admiring the dresses in the store.

“Ah… I see that her clothes are all elegant colors and discreet styles. But… you buy clothes for yourself, not for her.” Daisy looked at her daughter in confusion.

“Nothing, just a little curious. I just want to know what kind of aesthetic taste a girl can have that can capture the hearts of many successful men.”

In the end, the dresses that Lisa chose were discreet and had elegant colors, although, before that, she had intended to buy a few dresses that showed off her bare shoulders and sexy deep necklines to wear tomorrow.

In the immediate future, she will make Kevin see the image of that girl on her and slowly she will shed this elegant image to completely seduce him.

She doesn’t believe there will be men who don’t like women who dress a bit revealingly.

At the same time, on the top floor of GE Corporation, Brian was still diligently processing documents.

The acquisition of the Wine company made his already heavy shoulders even heavier.

Fortunately, the partners working with Wine Company have agreed to extend the delivery time for GE Group to complete the steps related to legal documents as well as sourcing fresh grapes.

The farms that specialize in supplying grapes to the Wine company have signed a contract with another party because the payment is too late before GE Corporation purchases, so the current situation is that there is demand but no supply.

“Deputy general director, have you finished your shift yet?” The assistant poked his head into the room and asked.

“Ah, I’m getting ready to go home, you go ahead first.”

“Yes.”

Glancing at the clock, seeing that it was after seven o’clock in the evening, Brian slowly turned off the computer, took his vest, and left the room.

Even though he’s so busy, the image of the little girl from yesterday still lingers in his mind. Her hair had grown a little longer, tied simply in a small bunch at the back, her smile was forced, and her legs had wounds. Fortunately, she has gotten fatter, not so skinny.

The car sped along the road, heading towards the north side of the city. Even in his wildest dreams, Brian never expected that Emily would choose a job with such a busy and complicated environment.

With her qualifications, appearance, and experience working at a large corporation, an office job is not difficult to get. Or she can apply to fashion design companies and work in her major and interests.

When Brian arrived at the pub, it was nine o’clock at night. He walked through the door, looking around at the space inside.

Multicolored lights flashed, and beautiful girls hid their hot curves in elegant, not-too-revealing dresses.

The smell of expensive wine mixed with the smell of grilled dried squid and the sounds of conversation mixed with not-too-loud music.

“Are you going alone or with how many people? Do you sit out here or in a private room?” A young female waitress approached, bowed, and asked politely.

“Private room. Oh, by the way… is Miss Emily going to work today?”

“Oh, yes, yes. Please follow me, she will bring you wine later.”

Walking through the crowded crowd, Brian followed the girl to the VIP room inside. There is no more noise here, completely soundproofed from the main lobby.

Some customers just want to be served by a waiter they like. Of course, no touching is allowed for employees who are only responsible for serving food and drinks, just because customers like their appearance and the way they talk, simple as that.

If customers need someone to caress and hug them, there will be a dedicated team of beauties. If the customer wants to be more intimate with the beauty, they can agree and take each other to the hotel. The pub does not manage the staff once they step out.

“Please choose your food and drink.” The waitress gave the menu to the customer and smiled brightly like a flower.

“Grilled shrimp, grilled dried squid, fruit plate but brought here before cutting, and a few bottles of mineral water. Today I didn’t bring the driver with me so I only drank mineral water.”

The waitress smiled again and told him to wait a bit, then quickly left.

This was the first time she saw a man come here but ordered mineral water. However, she highly praised his traffic awareness. If everyone was like him, accidents would be very rare.

But why did he ask to bring the fruit into the room to be cut? Is he afraid the kitchen staff will eat it secretly?

Hearing that a handsome male customer, as handsome as a CEO in a love story, came to find her, Emily was extremely confused.

Her heart seemed to stop beating and she wondered if that was the person she was avoiding.

To prevent any unexpected events, she took out her phone, looked for Kevin’s photo, and asked her colleague if the person in room number nine was him.

“Oh my god, this line says he is the president of the Unicons group, are you dreaming? It’s not him, but the beauty of the man in the room is also perfect, I just don’t know if he is as rich as this president.”

This waitress came from the countryside and has been working here for just a week. Her family background is extremely poor, she goes to school, goes to work, and works at night, so she doesn’t have time to watch the drama of the upper class.

In short, she is almost like an ancient person, her phone is a Nokia type that only calls and listens.

Her English level is still very low. But Kurt passed her application because, before the interview, she helped a drunk female customer when she tripped and almost fell.

After receiving the food tray and two bottles of mineral water, Emily immediately went to the room where the customer assigned her to serve.

The moment she pushed the door open, she was stunned when she realized that the person inside was Brian. Under the fixed, unblinking yellow light, his face reflected a deep sadness.

According to the pub’s regulations, she bowed low to say hello and then approached, placing each plate of food on the table.

“This is the food you ordered.”

Brian looked at the girl who was bending over, bowing her head, playing the role of a waitress, and felt pain in his heart. His throat was tight even though he had thought of many questions to ask her before.

“Emily.”

The moment she looked up, she met his deep sad eyes. She didn’t want to meet anyone she knew in this place, including him.

She will never forget his kindness, but right now there is no way to repay this debt because a person like him is not short of money, and love is something she cannot give him.

So, she could only pray for him to have good health and a life of good luck and peace.

“I’ll cut the fruit and tear the squid.” She smiled and suggested.

“Uh.”

Because Brian knew that Paradise Pub had a rule that did not allow waiters to sit with customers, he deliberately did not let the kitchen staff cut the fruit.

He knew Emily would refuse him based on this rule. It’s too late until she gets off work, she’ll make excuses to go home and sleep.

Emily sat down and started wearing plastic gloves to cut the fruit, and asked about Brian’s work and health because she realized that his face was not good and was much thinner than the last time they met.

“My work is still normal. I have to work a lot of overtime these days, so it’s natural for me to lose weight. Ah, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday, Jennifer…”

“She already apologized. Even though you are Jennifer’s brother, whoever makes a mistake is that person’s fault. I always respect and thank you.” She interrupted him and smiled.
