Beloved Old Lover

Because Emily was engrossed in getting used to her new job, she didn’t pay attention to the time. She opened all the data files on the computer to review the contents.

The businesses of Wine Company and Unicons Group are completely different, so she was not surprised that when Kevin first hired her, he let her see his company’s data at will.

Even if the two companies are in the same industry and she gets the business secrets of the Unicons group, it doesn’t mean anything when one side is an elephant and the other side is an ant. As soon as the ant raised its foot, it was already trampled by the elephant. What more could it hope to do?

“When you leave the room, lock the door. If you keep the key, go to work early tomorrow. Don’t forget that important meeting.”

Hearing Kevin’s voice, Emily realized it was already late afternoon. Glancing at the right corner of the computer screen and seeing that it was after five o’clock in the afternoon, she quickly turned off the computer and tidied up the papers on her desk.

The moment she stood up, the man had already entered the elevator.

“The first day seemed to go well. Emily, you don’t need to have any self-esteem. If you are poor, even if you want self-respect, you won’t have it.”

In the five years she was abroad, she talked to herself every day, consoled herself, and encouraged herself.

After five years of accepting discrimination from classmates, it’s okay to now accept his cold and disdainful attitude.

What she is aiming for is the result, like the bachelor’s degree she now owns. The process also turns into memories, whether ugly or beautiful doesn’t matter.

“Kevin, are you free today? Can you go eat with me?”

Jennifer’s sweet, gentle voice made Emily’s steps stop. She thought Kevin had gotten in the car and left the company a long time ago, but she didn’t expect that he had just gone down to the main lobby a little before her.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Jennifer’s eyes lit up like headlights, she quickly left the reception desk and ran after him.

If she were just a receptionist taken to dinner by her boss, everyone would probably admire and envy her. However, she is a young lady of GE Corporation, so this is normal.

Emily smiled sadly. Money has almighty power. She remembers that in the past, Jennifer openly despised Kevin just because he was poor even though his achievements were always the best in school.

Emily remembered a time when Kevin accidentally bumped into Jennifer, dropping her book. When he quickly picked it up to return it to her, she scolded him mercilessly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jennifer told him his hands were dirty and then used a towel to wipe each book right in front of him.

If it were another girl, Emily would worry that Kevin would be captivated, but as for Jennifer, she understands that he would never be moved because the scars of the past do not fade easily.

Even the stupidest person can easily realize that the young lady of GE corporation is clinging to him because of the huge assets he owns.

“I admit that he is much more handsome. He has money so his appearance is brighter.”

Emily smiled faintly and walked away. She doesn’t have a car now, and she has to spend money sparingly, so the only option is to take the bus.

Everyone still does not know the current financial situation of the Wine company except for some banks that are partners with her father. At most, they will think that she is a sociable, friendly, and environmentally conscious lady.

The cool autumn wind, the scent of flowers on the roadside mixed with the afternoon dew, gently caressed the girl’s thin and fragile body.

Emily looked up at the gray clouds above her head and sighed softly. Even if she dreamed, she would never dream of this dream.

Previously, she had a noble status, full of confidence that she would capture Kevin’s heart, but now, standing before him, she was like a shrimp in the market, and he was a fish in the red book.

When the bus taking Emily left the bus station, Kevin also drove into the hospital gate.

Seeing his boss personally come to visit, Venn shed tears, and Kevin also felt sad when he saw his assistant’s leg wrapped in white bandages twice as big as his normal leg.

“Just recuperate well and come back, that chair is always yours, and no one will take it away. Treatment costs will be paid by insurance because you had an accident on the way to work. I’ll confirm, so don’t worry.” Kevin patted Venn on the shoulder and comforted him.

“Yes, thank you, boss. But… have you found a temporary replacement yet?” Venn was touched, wiped away his tears, and asked.

“Rest assured. Daniel recommended a person to me. So, let that person try for a month and see how it goes.”

Kevin’s words reached Jennifer’s ears, giving her a little peace of mind. It turned out that Emily was recommended by his younger brother, not recruited by him.

Perhaps out of respect for Daniel, Kevin accepted Emily. No one doesn’t feel resentment towards the person who abandoned them when they were in trouble.

Jennifer is praying that Emily does not pass the probationary period and is fired by Kevin.

Leaving the hospital, Kevin and Jennifer drove to the restaurant to eat.

Jennifer thought Kevin agreed to go out to eat with her to give them both a chance to talk more, get to know each other, and then go on a date, but no, he just ate and ate, urging her to eat quickly so he could go home.

“Kevin, can’t you say a few more words to me?” Jennifer frowned and asked softly.

“Jennifer, I’m very busy, there are still many documents I haven’t approved yet. My time is gold.”

She knew he was busy, but not to the point where he couldn’t eat and talk at the same time. Since she started working at Unicons Group, this was the first time he accepted an invitation to go out to eat with her. However, he accepted the invitation when he saw Emily appear.

“Kevin, did you participate in the charity trip of the Young Businessmen Association? Two more weeks…”

“No, I have an appointment with my partner.”

“Oh yes.”

Jennifer’s face showed disappointment. The charity program at the end of each season was launched by the business association three years ago, but Kevin never participated.

She accidentally heard Daniel talking to someone on the phone, saying that he would invite his brother to go with him, but it seemed like he couldn’t.

The meal continued in silence and when Kevin finished eating the last dish, he called the waiter to pay. Jennifer felt like Kevin ate quickly to fight the enemy.

“Kevin, do you always hate me because of the things I did in the past?” She spoke up when the two of them had just arrived at the parking lot.

“No. It’s youth. We are all grown up now. If I hated you, I wouldn’t have let you work at Unicons Group. I’ll kick you out.”

After smiling at Jennifer, Kevin quickly got into the car and pressed the accelerator, driving straight. To be honest, he never hated her because it was natural.

The nature of the vast majority of pampered rich ladies is like that. Only that girl was different. And for that reason, she conquered his cold, self-deprecating heart when she condescended and followed him around like a cute puppy.

Who would have thought that in the end, the person he loved could not overcome her worries about the future? She boarded a plane to a foreign country, ending their romantic relationship without saying goodbye.

While Kevin was driving around on the road, in a small restaurant on a deserted street corner, Emily and Brian were enjoying noodles together. She didn’t expect that when she stopped by the old restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, she would also run into him.

Many years ago, Emily and Brian met at a party. After that party night, he fell in love with her and often texted and called to flirt, but at that time she was busy flirting with Kevin and didn’t pay any attention to him. Furthermore, her father does not like GE Corporation at all.

When James accidentally saw Brian’s message, he strictly forbade his daughter from contacting him.

Although she didn’t know what the grudge was between her father and that family, because she had no intention of developing feelings for Brian, she obediently listened to her father’s words and put his phone number on the blacklist.

At Jennifer’s birthday party, if her father didn’t want her to have the opportunity to approach Kevin, he would have sent an envelope like every year, without needing a representative to attend.

Because he heard information from Jessica that her two sons would be there, he asked his daughter to represent him.

“Let me pay.” Brian stopped Emily when she just opened her bag.

He knew the value of two bowls of noodles was not much, but he still wanted to do it. If possible, he wants to dine with this girl often, in luxurious places.

“Okay.” She withdrew her hand, smiled, and agreed.

“Let me take you home.” Brian continued to suggest.

Emily looked out at the deserted street and unconsciously nodded. Just hitchhiking a part of the way. She would tell him to drop her at the beginning of the alley, her father would never know.

Honestly, since meeting this man, she saw that he was not a bad person.

There was only one time when he went to the school gate to meet her to talk. And when he heard her say that she was waiting for her lover, not wanting her lover to misunderstand, he left and from then on stopped coming, only texting until the day he was blacklisted.

Both of them walked to the car without knowing that on the other side of the street, bullet-shaped eyes watching them.

Kevin’s hands clenched into fists, punching the steering wheel hard. He came here to recall some memories from years ago and witnessed this scene. It seems that that girl is not only attractive to him but also to many other men.

“Emily, you just returned home not long ago and you have already conquered three golden men of this city. You are so good.” He smiled faintly, muttering to himself.
