Beloved Old Lover

The plane carrying Kevin descended through the clouds and landed at the airport.

It was ten o’clock at night but he didn’t feel tired after the long flight because he was eager to see his loved one.

After taking Sara home, he immediately ran to the north side of the city.

The moment he stopped the car in front of the Paradise pub, he suddenly felt nervous, as if he were on a first date.

Tightening the box containing the necklace in his hand, he quickly walked inside and sat at the counter, ordering a cocktail.

Because Emily told Kurt, everyone will not reveal to Kevin that Jessica has come here.

No matter how much the bartender talks, he still has to obey the manager.

Today, there were also many customers, but Kevin didn’t see Emily anywhere. At least, she should run out here once. Could it be that she’s busy serving in VIP rooms?

“Little brother, is Miss Emily going to work today?” Kevin asked the bartender.

“Ah, didn’t she say anything to you? She quit her job here a few days ago.”

“What? You mean she quit her job?”

After saying that, Kevin immediately paid for the cocktail and ran out, escaping the noisy space to call Emily.

She quit her job a few days ago, huh? But last night, she said she had just returned to her room from the pub.

His whole body trembled and his heart seemed to stop beating, his breath was compressed in his chest, and his fingers operating on the phone screen were no longer accurate.

The hopeless sound coming from the phone made the fragile hope in Kevin’s heart completely disappear.

He didn’t know what he did wrong to make Emily disappear from his life again like that. It’s obvious that everything is going very well, and it’s obvious that both of them are having a lot of fun.

“No, Emily, you can’t treat me like that. Impossible.”

He quickly got in the car and drove to her motel room.

Why so? He suppressed his intense love for her, his actions and words were as restrained and gentle as possible, but why did she still run away?

The room he slept in every night was now empty. Through the slightly opened window, he could see inside. There was nothing left and that meant she had moved.

His hands trembled as he grasped the iron bars, his eyes went wild, staring at the place where he still slept every time he took her home. Everything seems to be erased by a big eraser.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

His legs almost lost all strength to support him, he took a few steps and then sat down on the iron stairs, clasped his hands, and bowed his head.

Why is his life so miserable? A person who continuously succeeds in business and always fails in love.

After two o’clock in the morning, Kurt returned. Out of habit, he looked at Emily’s room and noticed a man sitting on the stairs with his head down.

Today, Kurt also heard the bartender talk about Kevin coming to the pub looking for Emily. He thought Kevin had returned to the south side of the city, but he didn’t expect this man to still be here.

After pursing his lips for a long time, Kurt got out of the car and walked in front of the lovesick man.

“She’s gone, why aren’t you back yet?” Kurt spoke.

Kevin raised his head to look up, his eyes were red, and his face was haggard like a drunk person who had just woken up.

“You know where she went, right? The two of you are close friends. Please tell me her address.” Kevin’s voice was soft as if he was begging.

“I don’t know. She and I are no different from duckweed and water meeting each other, we just help each other when it’s convenient, and we’re not close at all.”

Seeing that Kevin had no intention of standing up, Kurt had no choice but to say goodbye and drive into the villa.

Kurt did not expect the president of Unicons Group to be such a love-sick person. He realized that his feelings for Emily turned out to be less than Kevin’s.

It wasn’t until Kurt returned to his room and went out to the balcony to look down that he still saw Kevin sitting below.

He guessed that if Emily hadn’t moved away yet and saw this scene, she would probably soften her heart and run out to welcome that man in.

The phone in Kurt’s hand kept turning on and off. He wanted to call her and tell her about Kevin’s current situation, but then his reason stopped him.

“If two people are truly destined, sooner or later they will meet again.” Kurt looked up at the sky, sighed, and closed his eyes.

It wasn’t until three in the morning that Kevin drove back to the Gold Hotel. Fatigue and despair made him fall into a mess of thoughts and then gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up it was eight o’clock in the morning. His hair was as tangled as a crow’s nest and his clothes were wrinkled like cat intestines when Sara called, reminding him that he had a meeting at nine o’clock this morning.

“Okay, I’ll be there on time. You just prepare the documents.” He raised his hand to rub his forehead and replied.

After thirty minutes, Kevin returned to the elegant appearance of a golden gentleman and drove to the group headquarters.

Seeing him appear, the receptionists immediately bowed to him. These past few days, rumors have spread in a small group of the company that the president is pursuing the deputy general director’s assistant.

The reason is that at a receptionist’s birthday party, Lisa wore an expensive dress and when people asked, she said that the president bought it for her.

“This morning, I risked my life to ask Sara and she said that the dress was bought by the president. But she said he also paid for a lot of clothes for her. I think Lisa is just lucky thanks to Venn. Because she was with Venn, the president bought it for her.” A girl spoke up.

“The important thing is that Sara is not a girl, I mean… Sara likes girls.” Another girl interrupted.

“But Lisa looks like the fiancee of the late deputy general director. Maybe the president favors her because of this.”

As a result, the receptionist group could not conclude whether Lisa was their boss’s future wife.

The fact that she was promoted quickly was not surprising because there was a precedent for Venn, who joined the corporation for a month and flew to the seat closest to the general director.

At exactly nine o’clock, the meeting took place. Even though Kevin is heartbroken, he still tries to concentrate, receive suggestions, opinions and make decisions.

It was not until nearly eleven o’clock that the meeting came to an end. The purchase of prime locations to build domestic tourist resorts was assigned to Venn by Kevin.

He also assigned other tasks to the right people with the right qualifications, and at the same time signed a decision to appoint two additional deputy general directors.

“Okay, the meeting ends here, everyone can go out.” Kevin closed the documents and spoke.

The group’s leaders simultaneously bowed to him and left one by one. As for Sara, according to his instructions, she went to have lunch with his partner on his behalf.

Kevin is very tired and doesn’t want to go out or meet anyone anymore.

Lisa also noticed Kevin’s tired look, so as soon as she carried the documents to Venn’s office, she used the excuse of going to make coffee but instead made a glass of lemonade with sugar and brought it to Kevin’s office.

After hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand to knock on the door twice and waited.

“Come in.”

Kevin thought it was Venn, but when he saw Lisa, he immediately put his hands on the sofa and sat up.

Looking at the glass of lemonade in her hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

“Ah, I saw you were tired so I made you a glass of lemonade. Lemon juice with sugar helps reduce stress and fatigue.” She put the glass of lemonade on the table and shyly explained.

“Thank you. Just leave it here, I’ll drink it later.”

Lisa smiled and slowly left the office.

Waiting for the door to close, Kevin leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. He was so tired that he didn’t want to eat or drink anything anymore.

By the time Sara returned, the ice in the glass of lemonade had melted so she had to throw it away and wake him up to eat porridge.

One working day ended, and Kevin carried his ruined body home.

Looking at his gloomy appearance, Jessica guessed that Emily had kept her promise, showing a decisive attitude of cutting off her relationship with her son.

By the time Kevin finished showering, dinner had already been served. The dining table, which originally had four people, now only has three people left.

“You don’t come home often these days, so you’re visibly skinny. Eat a little more.” Jessica spoke up.

“I’m skinny but I’m healthy. Mom, don’t worry.” He smiled and replied.

“Work is important but health is more important. Whatever you do, you should do it within reach. Don’t stretch your arms too much or you’ll get tired.” Matthew also spoke up to advise his son.

Since the day Matthew handed over full power to Kevin, he has expanded Unicons Group’s business activities, and recruitment notices have been posted throughout the media.

When Matthew was the same age as his son, he was also passionate about making money and promoting his brand, but right now, he felt that was enough, he didn’t want his son to not even have time for himself.

In the past, he had a wife to accompany him in life. She encouraged, comforted, and sympathized so his pressure was much reduced. As for his son, he was alone.

Not everyone can confide in their parents about everything.

“I know my strength, Dad.” Kevin tried to smile brightly to prove that he was okay.

In the following days, Kevin did not go to the north side of the city, did not sleep in a hotel, but returned home regularly, making Jessica feel extremely secure because he had broken the relationship between him and Emily.

She knew her son would be sad, but she believed that no sadness would last forever, and then he would forget and accept the next person.

To help Kevin get out of the past as soon as possible, when the weekend came, Jessica proactively called Lisa and invited Lisa to her house for dinner.

To avoid Kevin’s suspicions, the two agree to tell him that they met at the mall and that Lisa helped Jessica when she was dizzy and almost fell down the stairs and then helped her get the medicine.

At exactly six o’clock, Lisa was at the dinner table to Kevin’s surprise, and when he heard his mother talk about their first meeting, his facial muscles relaxed a bit.

It turns out there are such coincidences.

“Thank you for helping my mother.”

“Nothing. At that time, I just thought she was like my mother.” Lisa replied shyly.

“Do you think this is fate? When I heard her say she was working at Unicons Group, I was extremely surprised because it was so coincidental.”

During the meal, Jessica hinted that she wanted a daughter-in-law and a group of nieces and nephews to make her family happy, but Kevin ignored her and did not speak up. When his mother changes the subject, he says a few sentences.

After finishing the meal, he obeyed his mother and took Lisa back to the motel room.
