Chapter 29: Who Are You Crying For?
She said, “Oh, President Smith, don’t worry, I won’t be late for work in the afternoon! I promise!”
Emmett frowned again, he suddenly bent over and with his slender white hands stretched out, Elaine’s eye enlarged from fright.
His hands were a bit warm. When it was touching her face, it was nice and warm. His fingers wiped her tears and putting it in front of her, his voice deep, “Who bullied you? Why are you crying?”
That unyielding tone of voice was as if he would immediately back her up if she told him who bullied her. But thinking again, in this world, up to now, the one that bullied her the most was him, Emmett Smith!
Elaine’s face shrunk, exclaiming, “Oh, it’s not dried yet?” She thought she had stopped crying, she thought she had forgotten about the senior’s issue by gorging herself with food. It turned out… she still overestimated herself.
Emmett narrowed his eyes, “Why did you cry?” If this woman cried for someone else, he would be depressed.
“Oh, this… haha, I, I cried because of the spice, really! It’s too spicy! It’s so spicy my tears came out. But… It’s delicious.”
Emmett stared at Elaine fixedly to the point Elaine was scared from the bottom of her heart.
“Don’t eat this thing anymore, let’s go.” Emmett suddenly grabbed Elaine’s arm, lifting her up.
“Hey, what are you doing? I’m not done yet!” Elaine shouted in surprise.
The difference between them was too much. One was like a prince that came out from his castle to parade, noble and handsome. The other was, instead, an ordinary civilian. One was tall, the other wasMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.
short. When they got entangled, it inevitably attracted the attention of the curious passerby. What’s happening, what are they doing?
Emmett was very strong, he lightly gripped, and Elaine was unable to sit down again.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, stop holding me, I ate halfway, and I’m not done yet.”
Emmett’s face darkened and glanced at the small table with the dirty rice bowl. Sulking… Cold sweat. Was this something humans can eat? It’s so red and black, and such a big bowl, it was like a manager! Such a little girl, does she have to eat such a big bowl?
“Is this for humans to eat?” Emmett’s lowered his voice and said.
Elaine widened her eyes and reacted, “How is this not for people to eat? Aren’t these people eating? What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m not a human?”
Emmett’s face blackened. He was unwilling to ramble with the woman here, this place… wasn’t a place he should be at. It was dirty and wet. It was too much.
“Go! Go back with me!” He pulled Elaine and left.
Elaine was unwilling, and pushed Emmett hard, pointing at the leftover of her mala soup, cried, “My meal! My meal! I spent money on this! I haven’t had my fill!”
“How much did you spend? I’ll pay you back!” Emmett killed Elaine with one sentence and didn’t give her any chance to resist. She was hugged tightly in his arms, and they walked towards the direction of the company.
Elaine looked back a few times, unwillingly. She looked towards the alley with her mala soup, hur, mala soup, and favorite mala soup… She wasn’t done with it at all.
Raising her head, she pouted and looked at Emmett. Elaine concluded that she must have had hatred with this bad-bear Smith in her past life! If not, he wouldn’t have found fault with her in everything in this life.
“Sigh, I’m not full yet!” This was the nth time Elaine had sighed.
Emmett lowered his head slightly and glanced at the girl, “What was that you were eating earlier? It’s a mess, it looks disgusting.”
With a soft Elaine in his arms, Emmett felt that his heart has also softened. He really wanted to embed the softness into his own body.
“Disgusting?” Elaine took a deep breath, “I say, big President Smith, please don’t say it so bad about the food you don’t eat, ok? People like us love to eat that! Seriously, are you looking down on hard- working people?” Her nose hummed.
“Also, can you please let me go; it’s too tiring to walk with you!” His strides were too big, she had to jog a little to follow his pace, and she was exhausted.
Of course, Emmett did not let her go. Instead, he slowed down his pace. He hugged the petite her and walking with the slow pace, it was like a sweet couple walking down the streets. It was very eye- catching!
“What’s that thing called?” Emmett took the initiative to talk to her to relieve her hostility.
“Mala soup. Yo, President Smith, you know everything and can do everything, but you actually don’t know a mala soup? Hahaha…”
Emmett’s mouth twitched. She was so happy that he had made a fool of himself.
“Indeed, I’ve never eaten it before.”
Elaine raised her eyes to see Emmett. It just happened that Emmett was looked down at her too. She couldn’t help but quiver. Oh my, his deep-set eyes were like an electric current.
“You’re not allowed to eat such a thing in the future, you hear that?”
“Why? Why not? I really like that! Which law stipulates that we cannot eat mala soup?” Elaine was so furious that she pulled the bellows again. Not allowed to eat such cheap and delicious food, then what should she eat?
“My law!” Emmett raised his voice, and instantly he had a murderous aura.
Elaine shrunk her neck, and her face emptied. She did not dare to make any noise. Forget it. He was too fierce, shall not fight with him. The most, she will go and eat secretly in the future as long as he doesn’t know.
As if seeing through her heart, Emmett instantly said, “In the future, you’ll have lunch with me every day.”
“Why…” Elaine used a crying voice with sorrow and indignation.
Emmett wanted to knock her head hard with his hands. Having lunch with him, Emmett, was something many women dreamed about, she actually had such a sad expression.
“Because I want to supervise you! You’re already not very smart, furthermore, anyhow eating from young, you’ll become a big idiot. The company will not raise a big idiot.”
Elaine said in heart: There’s another rule called firing. President Smith, you can fire me. And, moreover, I only work during the summer vacation.
“Here!” Emmett handed Elaine a handkerchief. It was a white handkerchief that worked well. At the corner of the handkerchief, there was an ‘E.S’ sewed on with gold thread.
In this advanced era, there were actually people who still used handkerchief?
“Why?” Elaine didn’t take it, she didn’t dare. She knew it was an exclusive property of Emmett’s when she saw the initials.
“Take it! Wipe your messy face!” Emmett squeezed the handkerchief into Elaine’s palm and raised his face without looking at her.
Elaine grinned and looked at Emmett’s firm chin in disbelief, then looking at the handkerchief again, she panicked cautiously. When a bad guy who always bullied you became kind to you on a random day and was so sweet to the point you’re afraid… What would you think? Of course, you would think he’s scarier!
“Your handkerchief is so white, forget it, I don’t want to use it, it will be dirtied. I have a tissue, here, return it to you.” Elaine raised the handkerchief.
She clearly saw that Emmett’s jaw suddenly clenched, and his face sank. This ‘demon-king’ expression of his scared Elaine to the point she took a deep breath. Emmett looked down at Elaine and gritted his teeth, “If I let you use it, you use it!”
“Oh, oh…” Without rejecting it further, Elaine, who was completely frightened by his expression, took up the handkerchief in a panic and wiped her face. Cleaning it all over her face, she quickly returned it, “Here, finished wiping, return you.”
Emmett said calmly, “Keep it with you, it’s yours.”
Elaine pouted. So, he thought it was because she had used it, so it’s dirty. Fine, she had contaminated the handkerchief, she shall keep it.
“Oh.” Elaine then stuffed the handkerchief into her bag.
“Secretary Sophia asked you to eat western food, why didn’t you go?” Emmett was annoyed at the thought of it.
“It’s too expensive, one meal cost ten over dollars, I’m reluctant,” Elaine said without being shy.
Emmett sulked and looked at Elaine. Inexplicably, he felt sad. Did he… pushed her too hard?
“Then the 10 million…”
“Ah! I’ll pay you back! I said I’ll pay you back! I’m so frugal is so that I can return you the money as soon as possible?” Elaine explained in a panic, not even realizing that Emmett was getting angry.
“You’re frugal and don’t even want to eat a proper lunch, just to pay me back?” Emmett raised his voice and clenched his teeth tightly.
Elaine nodded, “Yes, yes, it’s stressful to owe people money. Don’t worry, President Smith, although I don’t have money, I’m honest, I’ll work hard to return your money!”
Emmett’s face was full of murderous intent, with two hands holding Elaine’s shoulders, he looked down. He stared at her, shouting, “You would rather not eat and be exhausted than be my woman?”
