Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 15: You're Outstanding 

"Hmm?" Ethan looked at Ms.Geller curiously.

Ms.Geller whispered to President Carl about what happened this morning, "Do you think this child is stubborn?"

"Hahahaha..."

Ethan burst into laughter all of a sudden, which made Ms.Geller feel awkward.

She thought, "Is it funny? Why does President Carl look so happy?"

Ethan shook his head and smiled.

He thought to himself that this person was indeed Oliver's favorite.

She really had her own personality! "She has just sat here and didn't have lunch since noon.Should I go and ask her to have something to eat?"

Ms.Geller asked for President Carl's permission.

To her surprise, Ethan waved his hand and said, "There's no need.Let her do it."

There was a kind of secret smile in his eyes.

It was the first time that Ms.Geller had seen Ethan like this.

After the day's work was over, Emma walked out of the company with all sorts of documents of Cherish in her arMs.She thought, "I'm so tired.It's the first time I feel so tired.Since I made a promise out of anger, I should be responsible for my words and deeds! However, it seemed that Ms.Geller supported me.When she just got off work, Ms.Geller said that she would give others the work I should do every

day.And I only needed to concentrate on the design.If I could succeeded in it, I could prove myself.Ms.Geller seemed to be so aloof, but in fact, she was very gentle in her heart."

Just as Emma was about to take a cab, a car suddenly came from the opposite side.

When the car stopped, Emma looked at it and found that it was not Oliver's car.

President Carl reached out his face, which scared Emma.

She stammered, "President...President Carl..."

"You can get off at five o'clock, and you delayed by 20 minutes."

He paused, "Were you at work?"

"President Carl, I was wrong..."

Emma almost cried out, "I offended Aina, and I also said that I would quit the job if I couldn't finish my design in time’ Right now, she was in a terrible state.

"I knew."Ethan lowered his eyes and smiled.

"You knew?"

God! Her own foolishness was heard by President Carl?

"Have a dinner?" Ethan saw her pale face and remembered that she didn't eat at noon.

"I want to go home and eat."

"Get on the car.I'll treat you."

Ethan grinned with his eyes narrowed.

"No, no.How can I accept that..."

Why did Ethan want to invite her to dinner? She didn't do anything useful! "Don't mention it.

Ollie always invites me to have dinner, and I can also invite him here if you are not familiar with me."

"No...no need."

It would be even more unnecessary to bother Oliver, since Oliver was also very busy.

Emma knew that she couldn't refuse, and it seemed not appropriate to refuse, so she braced herself to get into the car.

Ethan invited Emma to have Western food.

Emma was very restrained at the dinner table.

She had been eating in silence and did not dare to talk freely.

Although he was a good friend of Oliver...he was still her boss after all.Moreover, she was not Oliver's real girlfriend.

It was just a contract.

"What about the progress of the design of Cherish?"

Emma had never expected that Ethan would really talk about work.

"I have already begun, but I am afraid of missing some details, so I searched for a lot of data, and made some notes..."

Ethan saw the huge bags beside Emma, "Are these all?"

"Well...it's all information.Maybe it's not complete yet."

Ethan smiled bitterly and said, "So much information.How long will it take for you to apply them into the design?"

"It won't take long.I've been a fan of all Cherish rings.I just need to pick out some useful information."

"Do you like Cherish rings?"

Emma looked down, and her face turned dark.She liked it, or she used to like it before.

Only when she found Justin cheated on her did she feel how annoying the ring was.

It was like a lie, Keeping the relationship between her and Justin.

The time she spent with Justin was so happy.

If it weren't for that event, she really thought that she would have become old with Justin together.

"I like it very much."

Emma said, "Because it let me see through my feelings." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

When she thought of the ring, she also unconsciously remembered the dirty expression on Justin's face when he betrayed her.

However, she decided to face the past directly.

Now, even when she saw that Justin and Ava were intimate together, she could still be calm and unruffled.

It was not terrible to meet a bad man, but the terrible thing was that she did not dare to admit the memory of pain.

She took off the ring, moved on, and started a new relationship.

Cherish was like a warning to her.

"Cherish.”

‘’Cherish means we should cherish the one we love, right?"

Emma's eyes were red, "Since he loves me so much, why doesn't he know how to cherish me?"

She couldn't win against Justin's Boss's daughter.

Apart from the family background, she really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her.

Ethan knew that the "he" that Emma referred to was not Oliver definitely, maybe her ex-boyfriend.

Oliver realized that she seemed to have said too much.

She rubbed her eyes and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry.I have said too much.’

However, when she saw the painting of cherish ring, she could not help feeling pain in her heart.

"That kind of person is just not good enough for you."

Ethan's voice was surprisingly gentle, "It's a waste for such a lovely girl to be together with that kind of person."

The tone of Ethan was very indifferent.

No one could tell his emotion from it.

"Ollie didn't pick a wrong person."

His lips curled into a smile, "You're an excellent girl.Come on."

"Oh..."

Emma widened her eyes and looked at Ethan in disbelief.

Was...was this person really President Carl? Was she dreaming? President Carl actually spoke so many words to her today, and just now, he even praised her? Happiness came too quickly.

Emma felt so stunned that she couldn't recover her sense.

She felt that the gap between her and the president was getting smaller and smaller.

Back home, Emma's father sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper.

When Emma saw her father, she didn't have time to take off her shoes.

She strode into the living room hurriedly and hugged her father.

"Dad! Welcome back!"Emma's eyes were red.Her father really walked all the way from the jaws of death.It was good to hug her father like this.Held by his little daughter, Emma's father looked embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hands.

He kept saying, "All right, all right..."

"Honey , look at you.It's rare for Emma to want to hug you.Why are you so shy?"

Sarah stood silently on one side.

In her opinion, her sister's actions were nothing more than a show.

"Emma, why have you been in such a bad mood lately? Do you work too hard?"

"No, no, no."

Emma smiled dryly, "I just miss my father too much."

"Hey, what are these things you brought home?"

Mrs.Brook looked at this pile of design drawings.

She didn't understand it, but she felt that her daughter would have to work hard to finish it.

"Those are the documents.Don't move around.It's not good to mess them up."

Emma took a pile of documents and hurried to her bedroom.

After having dinner with her family and chatting with her father for a while, she went back to the bedroom.

Oliver called again.

"Your father has gone home?"

"Well, how did you know that?"

"I was the one who went through the procedures.How could I not know?"

".."

Oliver ran to the hospital as soon as he got off work and asked the doctor about the condition of Mr.Brook and whether he could be discharged from the hospital.

Then he went through some procedures.

"It's better to stay at home to recuperate.Your father can't get used to being in the hospital."

Oliver's gentle, deep and magnetic voice reached her ears.

Emma looked at the expensive suit of a man hanging on the balcony and asked slowly, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Hmm? Why? Are you missing me?"

The man’s words carried a hint of laughter.

"Missing you my ass, I'm going to return the suit to you."

She couldn't help laughing when she thought of Oliver's dirty look last night.

"How about tomorrow? I'll pick you up when I'm free tomorrow afternoon.’ "Okay."

The two of them said goodnight to each other on the phone and then fell asleep.

The next day, Emma went to the company with great enthusiasm.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing whether Aina lost the battle or Emma resigned on Friday, although most of them preferred the latter.

Emma didn't have lunch again as she had to make the design in front of the computer.

Lily was holding a glass of water.

When she passed by Emma's desk, she didn't speak but silently put a piece of chocolate on it.

Emma looked up and was about to say something, but Lily was gone.

Holding that small piece of chocolate, she felt a little happiness spreading in her heart.

She was not as strange as Ms.Geller said.She was obviously a nice person.

Emma sat in front of the computer for a long time.

She stretched and got up to go to the toilet.

She went to the toilet, washed her hands, and everything was fine.

However, for some reason, after only a few steps out of the toilet, she suddenly felt as if she lost her balance.

Her vision was blurred, and her legs went soft.

When she felt as if his body was about to fall over, a pair of large hands supported him.

Her consciousness wasn't clear.Only in the blurry line of sight, she saw President Carl's face.

"It's President Carl?"

President Carl, I'll work hard.

Ahem...

Ethan lowered his eyes and looked helplessly at the woman who had already lost her consciousness in his arMs.In this state, she didn't eat again, did she? She had only been in the company for a few days.

With this kind of overload work, her body would definitely not be able to bear it if she didn't eat at all.

"President Carl...you..."

Ms.Geller happened to see the scene.

Just as she was about to say something, the president raised his index finger and asked her not to speak.

"She's asleep."

".."

Ms.Geller felt awkward, "President Carl is so good-tempered recently."

Ms.Geller shook her head helplessly and didn't understand why this girl forced herself in such a way.

If she couldn't do it, then she shouldn't force herself.

Why didn't she bow her head and admit her mistake to Aina? If she did in that way, everything will be fine.

President Carl said in an order-like tone, "Help me drive away employees nearby.’

"Yes."

Ms.Geller turned around and gathered all the employees on the other side with the excuse of a meeting.

Ethan lowered his eyes and looked at the sleepy person in his arMs.Finally, he bent down to hold her up.

He complained in his heart, "What kind of employee did he recruit...? Emma didn't know how long she slept.

In her mind, she seemed to have fallen to the ground, and then she bumped into President Carl...and then...
