Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 20: Surprisingly Gentle

Emma didn't know what had happened, but she was sure that what Lily said seemed to have something to do with the disappearance of her design plan.

Emma didn't have time to think about it, so she ran over.

Aina broke away from Lily and ran along the street.

Lily came forward and grabbed her hand again.

Aina frowned and pushed her forcefully.

Lily lost her balance and was pushed to the middle of the road.

The cars on the road started to blow their whistles in a panic.

"Lily!"

Emma shouted.

She hadn't expected that Aina actually pushed her to the middle of the road! When the front car braked, Lily stared at the private car that was only one centimeter away from her with her eyes opened widely.

Her eyes were red and she almost cried.

Fortunately, the experienced driver reacted fast...

While Aina was in a daze, Emma snatched the paper bag from her hand.

"Emma Brook! You!"

The woman frowned and looked at Emma angrily.

"You are too vicious!"

Aina not only stole the design plan, but also pushed Lily to the middle of the road.

Did she want to kill Lily? Emma looked at her design and said, "Lily, let's go!"

Lily was so scared that her legs went limp.

Emma cleaned the dirt on her clothes and helped her to leave.

"You will pay the price for what you've done!"

Emma left these words as she walked away in a carefree manner.

Aina stood rooted to the ground, her face pale.

After the design case was found, Emma used the remaining two hours to improve the design as perfect as possible and gave it to President Carl.

Ethan opened Emma's design plan with curiosity.

"I will love you as long as I live.Cherish’ Several eye-catching characters on the cover highlighted Emma's unique opinions on the cherish rings.Ethan nodded his head with a smile and thought this was interesting.

The stars, the moon, and the beach.

Emma's had a bold imagination that she added all natural elements to Cherish.

The picture was fresh and beautiful, making people feel comfortable.

Different from the extravagant wedding palace of Aina's design, Emma's was so unique and extraordinary.

"It's all your own opinion?"

Ethan looked at Emma with some surprise.

No matter whether the proposal would be successfully adopted or not, such strength had been recognized by Ethan.

"Of course."Emma smiled.

When the task was completed, the feeling of relief appeared on her face.

"Very imaginative."Ethan praised.

He paused and asked, "I heard that the design case was lost."

A cold sweat appeared on Emma's forehead, "Mr.Carl, you are really well-informed.It was indeed lost.But thanks to Lily, it has been found again."

"Oh? Where did this drop?"

Emma told Ethan that Aina stole the design plan and pushed Lily into the middle of the road which almost caused an accident.

"Aina did such bad things?"

Ethan frowned.

He had always praised Aina's competence and appearance.

Whenever the company had any matters of negotiation, he would always ask Aina to communicate with other companies. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

If she really did do, she didn't deserve Ehtan's trust to her.

"l see.I'll handle it.I'll give you and Lily an explanation.’

"Thank you, Mr.Carl."

Emma looked down.

On the second day after the design desk was handed in, Ms.Geller released the news that Emma's design was adopted.

Emma was so excited that she almost burst into tears.

She held Lily's hand and jumped up and down happily.

Since Emma took the task, it had caused a stir in the company.

When the news that the design project had been adopted was spread by her colleagues, everyone began to change his views on this newcomer.

Even Aina couldn't do it, but this newcomer made it in a short time! "Emma, give me some advice.

How should I change this place?"

"Emma, let's go to dinner together!"

Emma shook her head in a friendly way to these enthusiastic colleagues, then got up from the seat and walked toward Lily.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Ah...I have my own food brought from home."

Lily pushed her glasses on her nose shyly.

"Well, let's go together."

The two of them supported each other in silence at the beginning, and the previous misunderstandings had been erased by a smile.

Now, the two of them had become partners.

Just when everyone was immersed in envy and jealousy over the capability of the newcomer Emma, there was the news of Aina’s dismissal in the company.

The reason was that she stole Emma's design plan.

Most of the people showed great satisfaction to Aina's departure.

Especially Ms.Geller, who was pressured by Aina all day long, showed a smug smile.

Besides, many people thought that Emma would become the second Aina.

But in the next few days, she kept a low profile surprisingly.

She didn't make any big news and just buried herself in her own business.

This surprised many gossips.

After she eliminated the bad guy for the public, she became silent? This was the goal that Emma wanted to achieve.

The reason why she accepted the design at the beginning was that she didn't want to be looked down by her colleagues who worked around together, and she didn't want to be regarded as a beauty without brains.

Now that the task was completed, everyone recognized her strength.

When she achieved her goal, all she wanted to do was to continue her work.

Therefore, she would never deal with any cases again next time, nor would she make a bet.

These days, she was almost exhausted.After work, Emma took a taxi on the side of the road as usual, but a woman who looked capable and beautiful came toward her.

"Are you Miss Brook?"

Stopped by the woman, Emma asked politely, "May I know why you're looking for me?"

"My name is Lisa.I'm the manager of the Dreamy Company.After seeing your design plan, I want to see you in person.Can you give me a chance to have dinner with you?"

Her tone was a little tough.

But Emma had a good impression on the Dreamy Company, so she nodded and agreed.

After roughly ordering a few dishes, the woman began to get to the point.

"Is Mrs.Brook interested in working in the Dreamy Company? Our chairman appreciates your ability.This is a good opportunity.You know, the salary of the Dreamy Company must be much higher than that of the Carl Enterprises where you are now in."

Emma looked down.

There was really a good opportunity.

But when she was dismissed by Oliver, why didn't she get such a chance? Emma had heard a long time ago that Carl Enterprise and the Dreamy Company were partners, but that was only on the surface.

These two companies had their own plans in private.But it was still not ethical to poach a talent from the cooperative company.

Emma took a sip of hot coffee and said indifferently, "Thank you, but I don't need it."

Lisa immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

After all, it was glorious to be chosen by the Dreamy Company.This kind of opportunity was not for everyone.

So a small role like Emma should be very happy, shouldn't she? Why did she turn down her offer so calmly?

"Miss Brook, don't refuse me in a hurry.It seems that you like the Cherish rings.You have a very unique opinion of the rings.Our company is willing to give you double the salary of Carl Enterprise and allow you to be the manager of the design department.’

"I know Dreamy Company's strength, and I have a very complicated feeling for the Cherish rings.Thank you for your appreciation.But I'm really sorry.I work very well in Carl Enterprise, so I don't want to find a new place to work."

She paused and said, "It's unforgettable for me to work in Carl Enterprise for this period of time.And I have made good friends here.All these special memories can't be traded no matter how much money you give me."

Emma smiled.

Lisa's face revealed a despair that she had never showed before.

Emma sighed.

There were some opportunities that would not come to you when you were at a dead end.

Only when you were settled, would there be a pile of useless opportunities.

However, Emma was an honest person.

When she settled down, she didn't like to move.

What's more, it was hard for her to meet President Carl and Ms.

Geller who took care of her, and Lily who talked with her every day.

She really didn't want to leave such a nice working environment.

If she really went to another place, maybe it was not suitable for her.

The reason why she loved Cherish was because of her previous love.

Now that the love was destroyed, she had no time to think about it.

She only wanted to calmly put down her love and move on.

Emma was such a decisive person.

But the person of the Dreamy Company came to find Emma for almost three hundred times, which was so strange.

She began to doubt.

Wasn't it just a Cherish design case? Did they really have to keep her stuck in front of her company's entrance every day? About the fact that the Dreamy Company's staff coming to look for Emma, Ethan knew a little.

Sometimes, the secretary who served coffee would inadvertently mention, "The Dreamy Company's staff has come to look for Mrs.Brook again.This is the fifth time."

Ethan held his forehead and said with an indifferent look, "Well, I know."

He felt an unprecedented uneasiness in his heart.

As the president of Carl Enterprise, he certainly didn't want to see Emma being taken away.

But he carefully thought about it for a long time and didn't know why Emma should stay in his company.

So after thinking for a long time, he thought it was time to give Emma promotion and salary raise.

When it was time to get off work, Emma didn't leave, but stayed in the office.

She prayed that she would not meet the Dreamy Company's staff if she went out later.

"Emma?"

Ethan saw Emma lying on her desk with curiosity, He thought, "Why is she behaving like this? Is it a new working posture?"

"Why don't you leave when you're off work?"

"Ah...I'm not in a hurry."

Emma smiled awkwardly.

Why did President Carl come to patrol at this time? It was a little sudden.

"Your design case is really good.I haven't promoted you yet."

"Thank you, Mr.Carl.You don't have to do this."

As an employee who came in the company for her own relationship, Emma felt that what she had done was far from enough.

Ethan suddenly smiled and said, "Are you hiding from the Dreamy Company's staff?"

Emma's eyes widened in shock.

How did he know? "Mr Carl, I..."

Emma was about to explain.

Ethan patted Emma's shoulder and said, "Let's go.If you go out with me, they won't pester you again."

Was it an illusion...

She felt that the moment when Mr.Carl patted her shoulder, he was surprisingly gentle.

"Okay, okay!"

Emma clenched her hands and nodded obediently.
