Beloved Old Lover

After drying her tears, Emily returned to the pub and continued her work.

However, Kurt still recognized her red, watery eyes under the flashing lights as she passed the bartending counter.

Her bad mood made her body weak, but she still tried to work until the last customer went out the door.

“Drink it.” Kurt gave the can of squash juice he had just opened to Emily and said.

“Thank you.” She took it and said thank you.

Kurt quietly sat down next to her while the other waiters were leaving.

He was the manager, he always left the pub last and Emily followed him so she also had to stay.

She drank squash juice and looked around to leave in her memory the image of the place where she had worked for three months.

“Kurt, I want to quit my job.” She bowed her head and spoke softly.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

Kurt stood up and walked away, Emily also quickly followed him. Kurt knew that Kevin’s mother came here to look for Emily because he heard what the bartender said and he also predicted that she would say those words when he saw her red eyes.

The content of the secret meetings between the man’s mother and the woman he pursued is anyone’s guess.

Perhaps, she wanted to avoid Kevin for a while and then, he knew Kevin would find her again.

“I know a large tailor shop owner who specializes in sewing clothes for upper-class customers. Each tailor will have a separate room to operate and they will have their customers. After finishing sewing, the tailor will share the money with the owner. In short, the premises, machinery, and materials are owned by the tailor shop owner, and the fabric is also sold by the tailor shop owner. As for tailors, they make clothes and then split the wages with the owner. If you agree to do it, I will introduce people I know to go there to support you.”

During the whole journey, Kurt was silent, but when the car stopped, he spoke up.

After all, he also wanted her to work in a job related to her profession and the field she studied. He didn’t want her talent to be eroded in another environment.

To be honest, no one will work as a waiter in a pub forever. At a certain age, employees must be fired so that the pub can recruit new, young, beautiful, and more suitable employees.

If Emily worked at that tailor shop, she could work until she was old, as long as her eyes could still see clearly and her arms and legs could still operate.

“Yes, then please introduce me to work there.” She was emotional and nodded vigorously.

“It’s a bit far from here to there, so… I’ll find you a room nearby so you can walk back and forth between the two places.”

“Yes, thank you, Kurt.”

“Okay, go in and rest.”

Emily obediently did as Kurt said.

Looking at her slender back precariously on the stairs, Kurt’s nose suddenly stung, extremely uncomfortable.

He looked up at the sky and sighed sadly. The time to pick her up has ended and he can’t see her often.

Yes, she is not his lover, and the feelings he has for her, she will never know but he knows, that’s why he feels pain and sadness.

Kurt is a manager, with an agile and decisive style from the workplace to the street. So the next day, he took Emily to the tailor shop and after chatting a few words with the tailor shop owner, he successfully got her a job.

Emily almost wanted to jump when she saw her new workplace. All four surfaces are made of glass, and the partitions between rooms are also made of glass. The designs on the mannequins are very beautiful and classy, extremely eye-catching.

She didn’t expect that she was only a tailor but had her own office, the interior layout was no different from the office of a senior employee in a large corporation. She had to admit Kurt was her god of luck.

“Let’s have a good cooperation. Kurt knew a lot of big bosses but he never told them to come here to support me, but now that you’re here, he had to act.” The tailor shop owner shook Emily’s hand and said happily.

“I heard your employees say they don’t have time to rest. Who dares to introduce more customers to you? I’m afraid you will force them to work overtime.” Kurt replied while choosing fabric.

In the end, Kurt chose three pieces of fabric to make three suits and asked to be Emily’s first customer.

This action of his made her so emotional that her eyes turned red. She told herself she would never forget his kindness.

If in the future, life allows her to repay him, she will try her best to do it no matter how difficult it is.

In the afternoon, Kurt went to Emily’s motel room and packed her things with her. For the goods she received to sew but had not finished sewing, he returned them to the manager on her behalf and apologized.

The afternoon sun slanted through the dark clouds, causing the edges of the clouds to shine with a sharp light, like a blade.

Emily looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and then looked back at the closed room, where she had beautiful but short memories with Kevin.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Unfortunately, those beautiful memories cannot continue but must be interrupted from here.

“Let’s go.” Kurt spoke in a low voice.

“Yes.”

When she first came to this place, she thought she would stay in one place and work hard at one job. However, up to now, this is the second time she has changed her place of residence and she is jumping from job to job like a frog.

She didn’t know if there would be another time or not. Going around the north side of the city, she could still ask Kurt to help, but if one day she went further, she would probably have to do everything by herself.

Just like last time, Kurt helped Emily arrange things into her new room neatly, then he took her around, showing her the way to the market, department store, pharmacy…

She wanted to tell him to become her brother, but as soon as the words reached her lips, she was swallowed back.

She feels that being friends with Kurt is good. She reminded herself not to be too greedy.

If this man appeared in her life before Kevin and Daniel, perhaps her heart would have skipped a beat because he was too good for her.

After having a meal with Emily at a roadside restaurant, Kurt took her back to the motel room and said goodbye.

Soon, he will start planning and realizing his dream, so he won’t have time to run over here and watch over her.

The feelings of the two of them at this moment were no different from sending a friend off to a faraway place.

“If you need help, just call me, don’t hesitate. Although I can’t appear immediately in an emergency, I have many friends in this area, so I can ask them for help.”

“I will do that.”

The sunlight completely disappeared and the car also disappeared among the traffic going back and forth. Emily regained her composure and walked slowly into the quiet alley.

The space inside the alley and the main road are completely opposite to each other, one side is bustling, and the other is quiet and deserted, as if two separate worlds.

She feels that’s good because she likes the place where she rests after a day of hard work to make money to be a place that gives her a feeling of peace, even a little solitude.

“Daniel, we have arrived at the new place.”

She took out the photo, placed it on the small table, and caressed the man’s smiling face. In the end, he was the only one who was always by her side.

Yin and yang are separate, but she feels like Daniel is always by her side, while the people who exist, even in this city, seem to be far away.

After showering, Emily immediately took out the stack of fabric used to make uniforms and started cutting according to her measurements.

This tailor shop allows employees to sew their uniforms according to prescribed patterns, and the fabric is donated by the shop owner.

For the time being, in the first few days, she will wear office dresses to go to work.

The space inside was extremely quiet, she could hear the sound of scissors cutting into fabric.

It wasn’t until ten o’clock at night that she left the sewing machine, spread the blanket on the floor, and quickly fell asleep.

The clock hands continued to rotate and outside, the night became darker and darker as the lights from the houses and entertainment venues gradually went out.

When Emily heard the phone ringing, she thought it was an alarm, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was still dark outside.

Looking at the screen, she realized it was a call from Kevin. Even though she told herself not to pick up the phone, her trembling hand still touched the phone.

He said he had to go on a business trip for a few days and she didn’t want him to worry about her and affect his work.

Everything will end, she will keep her promise to Jessica, but that day will be the day he returns home.

“I’m listening, Kevin.” Emily tried to suppress her emotions and spoke up.

“Are you back in your room yet? Did you have to run a lot today?” His gentle, warm voice rang out.

“Ah, I… I just got back. Yes, today there are also many customers.” She quickly said after opening her eyes wide and looking at the clock on the table.

“It’s been hard for you. Ah, today I visited your university, I also met your teacher Mike.”

“Really? Aren’t you on a business trip? Why did you go sightseeing?”

“Because it’s on the same road, I stopped by. Okay, go to sleep early. Good night.”

The person on the other end of the phone hung up, but Emily couldn’t go back to sleep. If she was still working at the pub, she would have just returned to her room by now.

She didn’t even say goodbye to her colleagues. She was afraid of their questions, wondering eyes, and guesses. Leaving in silence is best.

The clock hands continued to rotate and when morning came, Emily immediately left the alley and went to her new workplace.

She politely bowed to the employees in the tailor shop and the owner of the tailor shop, then entered her office and began cutting fabric to sew several suits for Kurt.

These three suits, including the cost of fabric and labor, are not a small amount. It seems that Kurt made quite a bit of money from stock investing.

She is not very good at investing in stocks, she has never bought it because she is afraid that she will make a wrong judgment and lose money, losing both capital and interest.

“Very professional. Just as I expected of someone Kurt personally introduced.” The tailor’s shop owner seemed satisfied after a long time of standing and watching Emily cut fabric.

“Thank you, sister. I will try harder.” Emily answered but her eyes were still focused on the fabric and the scissors in her hand were still working.

The tailor shop owner quite understands Kurt’s personality. She knew that he ordered three suits at once to prove this girl’s ability. If Emily doesn’t sew clothes well, he will be the first to suffer.

Degrees can be bought or faked, so she never asked candidates to show their qualifications but just wanted to see with her own eyes whether they could do it or not.

For this girl named Emily, the tailor shop owner wants to give her ten points and believes that she is an excellent student at Fashion Future School.

The tailor shop owner doesn’t often watch the news so she doesn’t know who Emily is. She only knows a few faces that regularly appear on television and in newspapers such as Kevin, Matthew, Brian, and Kent.

Emily only appeared in the newspaper once, on the day she got engaged to Daniel.

Compared to the amount of important information in the country, that information is not so prominent that even people who are not interested know about it.
