Wolf President Hooks Up

Chapter 174: The Weird Nervousness

What is in his mind now is only the scene that Elaine was smiling happily in Emmett’s arms just now.

And his major concern is still Emmett’s hand on Elaine’s waist!

Oliver suddenly stands up making a loud sound, which startles all the attendants. They all look over at this young, handsome director following the sound.

“Sorry, I have to leave now. You guys please continue the meeting.”

Oliver says hurriedly and then rushes towards outside.

He stops at a place with great ventilation and pants heavily.

He’s at a loss with a heavy heart and so restless and confused.

He wants to cry.

He used to be a playboy, but falling in love with Elaine has brought her sufferings and causes him to have the urge to cry.

It turns out that when you’re truly into a girl, you would feel your heart aching so much if being rejected.

…

Elaine and Hazel walk hand in hand and arrive at the small, unimpressive café.

“Hazel, I don’t dare to step in. Why is my hard beating so fast? I’m afraid that I would faint before meeting Mark. I’m so nervous!”

Elaine wrinkles her face and grabs Hazel’s hand tightly, hesitating about whether to go in or not at the door of the café.

“Useless! How can you woo Mark with such a pluck?”

Hazel swings her hair and tries to frighten Elaine, “Elaine, if you don’t go in now, then don’t cry if Mark becomes my boyfriend one day.”

“How can you chase after your friend’s crush? Oh my, wicked girl, you are even planning to get my dear senior!”

Elaine pulls Hazel into the café with her chest out.

As Elaine steps into the café rashly, she’s walking fast without even lifting up her head. Therefore, she almost bumps into a person when she walks in.

Luckily, Hazel grabs her in time and she hasn’t bumped onto that person’s chest.

“Haha, what a coincidence! I was coming out to welcome you, and you walked in.”

A man’s gentle voice rumbles over Elaine’s head.

Elaine freezes at the spot.

She doesn’t lift her head. She feels her body softening up when hearing his soft voice.

Oh, it’s her dear senior!

“Mark, were you missing us two so much that you even went out to welcome us?”

Hazel is always a joker. She chuckles and teases Mark.

Mark blushes all over his face, feeling a bit shy. He quickly glances at Elaine and awkwardly reaches out his hand to lead the way, “Come, seat yourself.”

Elaine finally lifts up her head and bites her lower lip while stealing a glance at Mark’s back with sweatiness written all over on her face.

“Hey, Elaine, Mark glanced at you just now.” Hazel whispers into Elaine’s ear.

Elaine glares at Hazel and replies in a low voice, “Keep your voice down. It would be so embarrassing if he hears it.”

The three of them seat themselves. Elaine looks at Mark with excitement in her chest, feeling she’s still in a beautiful dream.

Geez! She has had a crush on Mark since senior high school, and this was the first time that Mark had treated her coffee!

They hadn’t talked too much before!

Their conversation could be summarized as below:

“Senior, is this yours? It fell down.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Goodbye.”

…

Elaine pinches her palm, trying to remind herself with such a sharp pain, that this’s not a dream, but reality!

Just as she’s about to say something, her phone rings. The ringtone is a popular Korean song.

Elaine doesn’t realize that it’s the ringtone of her phone.

She thinks it’s a piece of light music played by the café.

Hazel and Mark shift their gazes onto her. Hazel nudges her and reminds, “Elaine, you phone is ringing. Answer the call!”

“Oh, my phone? Mine?” Elaine is stunned. She rummages through her back before finally find the vibrating phone.

Cold sweats fall down her cheeks.

It turns out that it’s her phone ringing. She hasn’t get accustomed to the ringtone of her new phone yet.

Elaine takes out her phone to answer the call.

“Hello, who’s it?”

“What do you think?” Emmett’s calm voice rumbles from the other end of the phone.

“Oh, oh, it’s you. President Smith.” Elaine is a bit nervous at the moment.

As for the exact reason for why she would feel nervous upon hearing Emmett’s words, she herself also has no idea.

It’s the nervousness that one would feel when she’s dating the other man behind her husband’s back…

Emmett just finished a multinational talk. He takes the tea handed by his secretary Sophia and nods at her. Of course Sophia understands what he means immediately. She hastily and quietly leaves the lounge and closes the door. Emmett takes a breath and asks, “Elaine dear, where’re you now?”

Elaine rolls her eyes nervously and stammers, “I… I’m hanging out with Hazel. What’s the matter?”

Emmett slightly frowns.

This simple-minded girl is trying to tell a lie?

He has gotten the information from his subordinates, that she’s meeting her senior in a café which is located on the corner of the street near her home.

But she doesn’t dare to admit it!

Emmett is not annoyed, instead, he feels somehow delighted.

So, is this girl afraid of this being found out by him?

This means she subconsciously regards herself as his woman.

“Nothing, I just want to hear your voice so as to relieve the fatigue after the long meeting.” Emmett says flatly while taking a sip of the tea.

Elaine wrinkles her face.

Are you kidding? How comes Bad-bear Smith, a person who’s even busier than the machines in factories, have time to think of her? Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

But… His words ‘hear your voice’ make her heartbeat faster.

“Oh, take a good rest. Don’t get yourself too tired.” Elaine’s heart softens at the moment and she blurts out the sentence.

Emmett can’t help but smile brightly and handsomely, “Heh, heh, heh, all right. It’s up to you. If I have time in the evening, I’ll come to the alley to visit you.”

“Ah, what?” Elaine is astonished and inhales a cold breath with her eyes widened.

“That’s it. I’ll call you latter.” Emmett hangs up the phone and takes a sip of the tea. Sophia knocks at the door and pops her head out from behind the door while reminding Emmett in a low voice, “President Smith, the halftime is over and the meeting is going to resume.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Emmett puts the phone into his pocket, stands up, and then walks towards the door.

To be honest, he’s really busy and tired today as he has so many affairs to deal with. Plus that he didn’t come to the company in the morning, he thinks he has to work overtime until the dinner time.

Inexplicably, he called Elaine just now. It was subconscious action. There was no reason behind this, other than he wanted to hear her voice.

Elaine and her senior… Emmett, who is sitting in the meeting room, can’t help but distract upon thinking of this.

He subconsciously furrows his eyebrows.

His senior will not be a threat to their relationship.

Elaine hangs up the phone and finds that both Hazel and Mark are looking at her with astonishment written all over their faces.

“Why… Why are you looking at me in this way? Is there something on my face?” Elaine feels something must have been wrong.

She blinks her crystal, big eyes, looking adorable.

Mark chuckles, “Nothing. Heh, heh, it’s just that… Elaine, do you have a boyfriend?”

“What?” Startled, Elaine gapes, “Boyfriend? What are you talking about?”

Mark bits his lower lip, “Is the one who called you just now your boyfriend?”

“He? Hahaha, no, he’s my boss. He’s not my boyfriend.”

Elaine smiles and waves her hands in an exaggerated manner and screams in her heart, “Oh my, senior, please, don’t doubt me!”

Emmett… and her relationship… It’s a kind of relationship that will be blamed by the public once being exposed.

It’s not a kosher relationship. She can’t tell it to others or expose it!

A secretary and her boss… Geez! She’s really the kind of women who sleeps with her own boss.

Hazel also feels award and anxious for Elaine. She tries to explain, “Yeah. I haven’t seen him too. He’s Elaine’s employer and he’s good.”

“Elaine, is your phone newly bought? It’s expensive.”

Mark has always been circumspective. Just now, when he took a glance at Elaine’s phone, he had found out that this was of a limited edition. If there wasn’t a discount, it should be bought at a price of more than 10,000 yuan.

He knows something about Elaine’s family. Her father is a bus driver and has to raise two daughters and pay their tuition fees with his low wage. Therefore, he won’t have spare cash.

Mark’s question is also something that Hazel wants to ask. So Hazel chimes in hastily, “Yep, your phone is really classy. Who bought it for you?”

As soon as the words are uttered, Hazel realizes it’s so inappropriate to ask such a question and hastily covers her mouth with her hands.

Elaine gapes with her eyes widened.

She glances at her classy phone and feels a loss of words. She’s not a good liar after all, plus that Mark, whom she has had a crush on for a long time, is sitting across her, she stammers even more, “I… I… I… My boss accidently broke my phone… And she compensated me whit this… I… I… have no idea of its price…”

The back of her neck breaks out in cold sweats.

Mark feels a bit relieved. After all, he’s quite clear about Elaine’s quality. She’s really pure and innocent. He nods and curls his lips into a light smile, “Oh, that’s the case. Your boss is really generous.”

Hazel immediately chimes in, “Yeah, yep, her boss is really generous. And pompous. Heh, heh, it’s quite understandable. Rich people rarely care about this.”

Elaine puckers up her lips secretly.

Look at how Hazel described Emmett. Is Emmett a silly, generous rich?

Luckily, this topic ends with such a lie.
