Chapter 71: The Clue
After many days of persuasion and encouragement, Kevin was able to sign the paperwork appointing Venn to the position of deputy general director.
However, Venn still automatically acts as Kevin’s assistant in his quest to find Emily’s whereabouts.
Her permanent residence is still in the old place, has not been moved to another place, but people do not know where she is.
“Come in.” Kevin spoke up when he heard a knock on the door.
Although Kevin didn’t raise his head, when he heard the footsteps, he knew it was Venn. Sara, his new assistant always wears high heels and except for her, only this old assistant frequently comes in and out of his office.
If other employees, including senior leaders, want to meet him, they must call and inform in advance or go through Sara, and cannot just jump in here arbitrarily.
“Some people took these photos on the north side of the city. They said they took them because they saw this girl looked like the late young master’s fiancee, but they didn’t know exactly where she was.” Venn put down the stack of photos and said.
Kevin picked up one photo and looked at it, then looked at the remaining photos. The photo wasn’t very clear, but he recognized it as Emily.
Her hair is longer, she’s also a little fatter. And she was already smiling. The smile is sunny, satisfied, not forced.
A month was as long as a year, and there was not a night he didn’t dream about her. Every time a storm passes through his love for her, it burns even more intensely, and the desire to possess her also becomes stronger.
“Don’t we have an appointment with the emerging heirs over there this weekend? You and I will get there one day early. Tell our people to look up where the place in these photos is.”
“Yes.”
“Ah, have you recruited an assistant yet?” Kevin turned the pen in his hand, squinted his eyes, and asked.
“I choose Lisa. She is smart and has almost completed her three-month probationary period.”
“If you think she’s suitable, that’s fine. Ah, today is Sara’s birthday. Let’s go have dinner together this afternoon. She lives alone and doesn’t like noisy parties.”
Venn nodded vigorously, then picked up the stack of photos on the desk and quickly returned to the office. He could understand why Kevin wanted to personally celebrate Sara’s birthday.
Sara’s ability must be said to be top of the top. Since taking his place, she has shown all her abilities, assisting her boss in solving tasks neatly, easily, and quickly and achieving good results.
One time, Kevin had to blurt out a compliment that Sara was a lucky star, so when she was by his side, Unicons Group’s work went extremely smoothly.
Sara is influenced by the Western way of life so she is quite liberal. Sometimes when she is excited because the corporation won a big contract, she hugs Kevin to congratulate him in front of so many people’s round and flat eyes.
“Emily, we’re about to see each other again. I miss you so much, heartless girl.” Kevin smiled, looking out the window, where the noon sunlight was dancing on the white rose bushes.
From the day she ran away without saying goodbye for the second time, the balconies of the offices at Unicons Group were all planted with white roses to replace the previous feng shui plants and flowers.
Although Jessica knew that her son still did not forget Emily, because Emily had voluntarily disappeared, she did not interfere with his actions to show his love for Emily.
At the same time, in her new rented room, Emily arranged her furniture neatly with Kurt’s help.
She did not expect that the place where this man lived was a luxurious villa, with high gates and walls, no different from the residence of tycoons.
This boarding house has the same design as the boarding house she just left, with stairs leading up to the floors, and is only three floors, nothing more.
As far as she knows, the government does not allow people to build houses or businesses higher than the flagpole in the square.
“Let me invite you to lunch, as a way… I thank you.” She hesitantly spoke up.
“Okay, there is a delicious popular restaurant outside here, just a short walk.”
She nodded, locked the door, and followed Kurt. She intended to invite him to a slightly luxurious restaurant, not only to thank him for what he had done for her today but also for many things before that.
Of course that included the fact that he hired her to work at the pub when her appearance at that time could have been eliminated at first sight.
The two of them had just gone down the iron stairs when suddenly they heard a loud call coming from a shiny car.
Emily squinted her eyes and noticed a bald guy with a flowery shirt waving frantically, calling Kurt’s name.
“That’s the boss of the Paradise pub. Let’s go over there and say hello to him.”
Kurt said and quickly walked forward, Emily also quickly ran right behind. She was obsessed with loan sharks, so when she looked at this person, her heart suddenly pounded even though she didn’t owe him anything.
“Is she your girlfriend? Where are you two going?” The man smiled, stroked his head, and asked.
“She is our employee. Today I helped her move things so she wanted to invite me to the restaurant for lunch.” Kurt politely answered.
“What restaurant? Bring your girlfriend over to our house to eat. Your sister-in-law cooks a lot of food at home. Don’t go to a restaurant to do anything because it’s a waste of money and may not ensure nutrition and hygiene. Quick, go home.”
The windshield was quickly raised and the car sped to the opposite villa.
Emily stood motionless, staring at the large gate that was slowly opening. It turns out that Kurt is that uncle’s younger brother.
No wonder she kept wondering why a pub manager had the money to build that magnificent villa when his salary was only double that of a waiter.
“That’s my older brother.”
“Ah, so it turns out. But… you look much more handsome than him.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man coughed a few times. Without saying a word, he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the gate.
If only she weren’t the girl that the president of the Unicons group is trying so hard to find.
If only she were just a normal girl, never having close relationships with the super rich people on the south side of the city.
Kurt knew he didn’t have enough money or power to protect her. He is smart enough not to do childish, useless things that affect his brother, relatives, and her.
Emily’s feet had not yet stepped through the main door when a beautiful, elegant woman appeared. Her face was cheerful, her mouth said hello, and her hand pulled Emily into the kitchen and forced Emily to sit down in front of the prepared dining table.
“Oh, is this the youngest uncle’s lover? Oh my gosh, so pretty, so cute. Quick, please sit down to eat.”
Despite Kurt’s explanation, his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew still assumed that Emily was his girlfriend.
Since Kurt grew up until now, they have not seen him considerately help any girl, his face is always cold as ice, during the day he studies the market, and invests in stocks, at night he turns into a manager at a pub.
Occasionally, they also heard the deputy manager report that he yelled at female employees, causing them to feel heartbroken and cry.
But in the end, none of the girls quit their jobs because after all, they received high salaries, good incentives, and the chance to see handsome rich guys for free.
“Sister-in-law, eat a little more. From now on we will be one family, don’t be shy. If Kurt bullies you, just tell me and I’ll scold him.” Rollo spoke softly.
“Our youngest uncle is very gentle, he doesn’t bully his girlfriend.” Rollo’s wife glared at her husband.
“He just wants to bully me.” The seven-year-old boy also joined in to speak after looking at the girl opposite.
“When?” Kurt put the peeled shrimp in Emily’s bowl instead of putting it in the boy’s bowl as originally intended and frowned and asked.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Emily couldn’t help but laugh, she covered her mouth and secretly looked at the man next to her.
Just now, he told her in advance that she didn’t need to explain because it would only waste her saliva and make her mouth tired. He told her to eat until she was full and then go back to her room to sleep and regain her strength to go to work in the evening.
It seems like the whole family is worried about him being single, everyone has turned into someone pushing the boat of love.
Suddenly, she missed her home so much. Even though it was just her father and her, the meals between the two of them were still filled with laughter, teachings, and care.
After the meal ended, Emily returned to her lovely motel room and lay back on the soft mattress, thinking about what she would do during the day.
She didn’t want to waste time, she was almost thirty years old and should also save some money to take care of her old age.
When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a noise outside, so she jumped up and opened the door to look.
“Oh my God. You… why did you come here?” She exclaimed in surprise when she saw Kurt’s long, straight legs.
“My sister-in-law told me to bring you some fruit to eat, her friend gave her too much.”
“Ah, so it turns out. Please send my thanks to her.” She took the bag of fresh, cold fruit and said softly.
Following Emily’s eyes, Kurt quickly realized the purpose of her opening the door just now because he hadn’t had time to knock yet.
So, he told her that those people were people who specialized in making processed goods, specifically sewing clothes or cloth masks, sun hats…
“They work to make money while taking care of their children and cooking. Money depends on output, if you work more, you get more, if you work less, you get less.”
“I… I also want to do it. So… I should ask them, right?” Her eyes lit up and her spirit became more excited.
“If you want to do it, you have to buy a sewing machine first.”
So, while the sun was shining, Kurt drove the pickup truck to take Emily to buy a sewing machine.
Until now, no one had ever tortured him like that, but he felt happy and willing, not feeling forced.
After trying out a few sewing machines, Emily chose one that she felt was better than the others.
On the way home, Kurt took Emily to a garment company to meet the manager and discuss.
Because the company manager is Kurt’s acquaintance, Emily was not forced to deposit money to receive the goods.
The manager told Emily that when she was done, she just needed to call and someone would come pick up the goods and deliver the next package to her.
To Emily, this pub manager was no different from an angel and she believed that Daniel had sent him into her miserable life.
“No matter how much you like money, you must pay attention to your health, don’t stay up until morning, have enough sleep at noon, and eat on time.” Kurt told her like he was telling a money-hungry child after bringing both the sewing machine and the cloth bag into her room.
“Yes, sir.” She raised her hand and replied loudly.
