Beloved Old Lover

After more than two weeks since Kent arrived, Emily has finished sewing his clothes.

While flipping through the notebook to find a phone number to contact, suddenly a pair of straight legs appeared in front of her sight.

Hastily looking up, she almost cried out loud when she realized that the person opposite was Brian.

“Older brother.” Emily spoke up emotionally.

“My little sister.” Brian was equally emotional as her.

Outside, the tailor shop owner was still stunned by the surreal beauty of the man who had just talked to her.

She originally intended to call Emily out, but Brian signaled silence and wanted to go in and greet Emily himself.

Since Kent arrived, she was curious and tried searching for the name Emily online. The results returned were engagement photos of her and the late second young master of Unicons group, Daniel.

And when she dug deeper, she knew everything related to Emily mentioned in the press.

“Are you here to make clothes? I thought you would come sooner.” Emily left the table and walked closer to Brian.

“I’m sorry, I’m too busy. Besides, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sew clothes in time. My dad ordered a lot of clothes, right?”

“Yes, but I’ve finished today. I was going to call him but since you’re here I’ll ask you to give them to him.”

Brian nodded and asked Emily to take measurements for him.

She frowned slightly because she realized his waist was too small, and frankly, he was too thin.

Not long ago, he looked very healthy and had a well-proportioned figure.

Just now, when she looked up, she noticed that his face was gaunt but she didn’t think his body would be so thin.

“No matter how busy you are, you should eat and rest. Health is more important than money.” She put down the tape measure and gave instructions, but it was more like a scolding.

“I’ll pay more attention, but I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Seeing Emily’s eyes turn red, Brian was extremely emotional. He really wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he couldn’t.

With both of their identities, that action would cause misunderstandings and there would be bad rumors about her. Therefore, he could only gently stroke her hair.

“Have you chosen the fabric yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Follow me.”

She held his hand, pulled him to the tailor shop owner’s fabric display area and, following his request, helped him choose.

After fifteen minutes, they finally finished choosing. As he had warned her before, he ordered her to make ten sets of trousers and shirts.

After completing the payment for two-thirds of the order, he invited her to eat because it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. Of course, she nodded in agreement.

“What would you like to eat?” Brian looked at her with affection.

“Grilled meat.”

“Okay. Please show me the way, I’m not familiar with the good places to eat here.”

The car merged into the crowded late-afternoon traffic. Emily leaned against the windshield, looking outside.

Life was like a dream, she did not expect that she would be loved and cared for by Jennifer’s brother like a sister.

Thanks to him, she no longer had a grudge against that girl. Some people can never grow up.

After fifteen minutes, they arrived at the barbecue restaurant located in the alley. They both got out of the car and walked in.

To make her happy and eat her favorite food, Brian did not mind letting the smoke and smell of grease stick to his body.

He carefully grilled the meat and cut it into small pieces for her to eat easily, taking care of her like a princess.

“You should eat too.” She chewed while urging him.

“Okay, please fill your belly first.”

Emily saw that Brian was too busy and he was determined not to let her help turn the meat, so she had no other choice. She took the vegetables, rolled the meat in, and told him to open his mouth and stuff it in.

The two of them looked like a happy and humorous couple. They didn’t know that not far away, there was a guy staring at them to the point that his eyes were about to pop out of his skull.

Through the smoke, Venn kept rubbing his eyes back and forth to make sure he wasn’t mistaken.

A few days ago, he went to Paradise Pub at the invitation of his business partner. When he asked about Emily, the waitress there said she had been out of work for more than half a month.

At first, he thought Kevin had arranged another workplace for her, but that seemed not the case.

If she and his boss were dating, how dare she openly go out with Brian and have such intimate gestures?

Does she not know that the new president of Unicons Group is a very jealous person?

“Hey, where are you looking while eating? Is an acquaintance sitting over there?” The man sitting opposite Venn asked and turned his head to look.

“I got the wrong person. Eat it.”

Today, Venn came here because he had something to do. Late in the afternoon, he was invited to dinner by a guy in the group of emerging heirs.

His stomach was hungry and he also liked grilled dishes, so he agreed immediately. Who would have thought that he would go into the alley and meet his boss’s dream lover?

She was even smiling happily with the man whose boss considered him both a rival and a partner.

Leaving the barbecue restaurant, Brian took Emily for a walk around the street and ate a few more snacks.

Her work now follows office hours so she can roam freely.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

It wasn’t until eight o’clock at night that she asked the man to take her back to her room. She was afraid that if she didn’t proactively speak up, Brian would stay here until morning.

He didn’t look like he wanted to go back, it was like he wanted to stay here forever.

“Drop me off at the beginning of the alley. The road is wide enough for vehicles to drive but it will take a long time to reverse.” She pointed to the alley in front of her and said.

“Okay.”

Although Brian wanted to see where Emily lived, she said so so he had to listen to her.

He didn’t leave as soon as she got out of the car, but sat still and watched her back slowly fade away.

Occasionally, he saw her stop, turn her head, and wave her hand to signal him to come back quickly.

The road leading to the alley doesn’t have many electric lights, and the moon is not full tonight.

That weak light could not illuminate her path, making her slender back look even more lonely.

No matter how much Brian loved her, he had to leave. When the girl’s image was out of sight, he also drove away.

The night dew falls more and more and gradually disappears when the sunlight of the new day appears.

In the chairman’s office, Kevin was diligently reading and signing documents.

At night, he couldn’t sleep. During the day, his eyes were closed so he needed coffee and Sara was standing at the counter in the coffee shop opposite the corporation to buy it for him.

“Come in.” He spoke when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Venn pushed the door open, walked in, walked up next to Kevin, and put down the document that needed his signature

Kevin picked it up, read it quickly, then signed it and asked him the exact time that the group of young partners from the north side of the city would come here.

That day, Kevin promised to invite them to a meal to apologize for leaving midway, and a few days ago, Venn told Kevin that some people had just reminded him.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, they arranged to meet us tomorrow night. If you’re busy, I’ll ask them to reschedule.”

“Not busy at all. We’ll see them tomorrow night.”

“They said we should invite the two girls who went with us the other day to come along.”

“Then bring them along.” Kevin gave the document back to Venn and replied briefly.

“This afternoon I will go to the north side of the city to sign some contracts.”

“Uh.”

Venn’s eyes opened wide, blinked a few times, and then quickly returned to their normal state.

Why didn’t his boss’s face show any emotion when he heard him mention where Emily was living?

Did the two of them go their separate ways? Should he tell his boss that Brian took her to the barbecue restaurant?

In the end, Venn left without saying anything more. When he closed the door, he suddenly sighed, leaned his back against the wall, and looked at the suit he was wearing.

The meetings are taking place more and more often, so perhaps he has to sew a few more suits, shirts, and pants because, in this position, he is like the face of the Unicons corporation.

Venn didn’t know that just because he mentioned the north side of the city, Kevin’s mood suddenly became worse.

During this time, he braced himself and forced himself not to think about that girl, but in the end, the wall he was building crumbled, bringing his gradually improving emotions back to the starting line.

The pen in his hand fell, his hands clasped his head.

Where did she go? What kind of work does she do? Is the working environment good? What was she thinking when she suddenly cut off contact with him like that?

“Boss, here’s your coffee.” Sara put the coffee cup down in front of him, smiling happily.

“Thank you. Ah, please come with me tomorrow night to dine with my customers. The group of heirs is on the north side of the city.”

“Okay. Ah, this afternoon you have an appointment with the city president.”

“I remember.”

Both of them smiled at the same time and returned to their work.

In the deputy general director’s office, Venn also focused on processing documents because, at two o’clock this afternoon, he would leave the company.

The other day, while chatting about topics related to fashion and costumes, Venn’s partner introduced him to a large tailor shop that specializes in tailoring clothes for the upper class. And according to that person, he was a regular customer there.

So, this afternoon Venn planned to leave a little early and go there to make some clothes.

At exactly two o’clock in the afternoon, Venn left the office after assigning some work to Lisa. He followed the address on the business card and drove straight to Rose tailor shop.

Seeing the tall, handsome male customer, the tailor shop owner quickly left her desk and came over to say hello.

“I want to make clothes. This is my first time coming.” Venn spoke.

“You choose the fabric, then choose one of these skilled tailors to make your clothes. Everyone’s skills are good, you can rest assured.”

Venn nodded and followed the advice of the tailor’s shop owner to choose some fabrics. Next, he chose a tailor.

When looking at the photos of the tailors, he was almost motionless when his eyes caught the very familiar face of Emily.

In just a few seconds, many questions appeared continuously in his mind. Could it be that this is the new job that Kevin found for her? Probably not, right?

If Kevin had brought her here to work, he would have brought several leaders and employees of Unicons Corporation here to support her.

At the very least, his boss should have asked him to come see her to make a few suits.

“Dear customers.” The tailor shop owner called out because she saw the customer suddenly freeze.

“Ah, she, I choose this tailor, Emily.” Venn was startled, pointed at the photo, and replied.
