"On the one hand, the company seems to be a whole, but in fact, it is divided into many parts.
Everyone's interests are different, and they form different teams. The existence of the president is to
balance the interests of all parties, and then get the best among them. Now that your father is not here,
they want to benefit more. They want to suppress you, the new president, to achieve their own goals."
The analysis of Sam was very reasonable. Emily nodded in agreement, but she was a little confused.
She did not know what it had to do with changing the current situation of the company.
"And then?" she asked anxiously, hoping to get more explanation from him.
Although she could not understand what he meant for the time being, she believed in Sam very much.
"Secondly, you look too weak in their eyes. They think you are not a suitable leader, so they won't listen
to you." Sam looked calm. On the other hand, Emily seemed to be breaking out in a cold sweat.
He had made up his mind that if Emily failed to deal with the problem in her family's company in the
end, he would deal with it himself. For now, he wanted Emily to practice first.
"I see. Should I be tougher to them?" asked Emily.
Sam nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, but you have to get it right. Don't let them think that you're
going to work against them. The most important thing is to make a good decision. Think about it
carefully. If you don't understand, you can ask me."
"Sam, I'm sorry that I'm late today and that I've brought my work to my personal life. I've made you
unhappy, and I deeply regret it," said Emily, feeling a little depressed.
Although she never wanted this to happen, admitting her faults was one of her principles in life.
Seeing the faint smile plastered across Sam's handsome face, Emily almost forgot to think.
"It doesn't matter. I have no choice because you are the one that I like."
All of a sudden, the atmosphere fell into deafening silence. Emily was shocked by his words that she
was unable to speak for a moment. It seemed that it was the first time that she had heard that Sam
said that he liked her. Her face turned a shade of red, and the smile on her face was unceasing.
At that very moment, she gazed at him in admiration. If it was in the past, Sam would not have liked
this expression. But seeing it now, he felt that she was very cute. He could not help but put his hand on
top of Emily's head. Gazing at her beautiful face, he smiled adoringly.
The smile on Emily's face grew brighter. She forgot that she was just worried about work just now.
In her heart, nothing else mattered at that moment. The most important thing for her now was that
Sam's adoration for her was finally undisguised.
"Oh no! I have a meeting at half past five in the afternoon. I have to go now, otherwise I'll be late."
Emily suddenly came to her senses. Just a while ago, she looked dreamy and full of life. But now that
she remembered to deal with her work, she looked tired.
She had been working very hard recently which almost exhausted her.
"Okay, I'll drive you there," offered Sam
"No, thanks. I can go back by myself."
Sam stared at her dark circles under her eyes. Because of the tiring work, Emily looked bad. As a
doctor, he knew what was going on with her.
"Let me drive you back. You can sleep in the car for a while," he insisted.
Hearing this, Emily raised her head and looked at the gentle expression on Sam's face. An idea
occurred to her, so she agreed to his request.
Although she wanted to prove her strength and tell everyone that she was not a useless rich lady, she
wanted to be a reliant woman by Sam's side. In addition to being a doctor, Sam was great at taking
care of people as well.
In the East Mountain Villa.
The warm sunshine came in through the French window. Two people lay on the huge tatami.
One was Anne, who had just gained a little weight, and the other was Kevin.
Anne was lying in the middle, while Kevin was on the side. With a closer look, a boundary between
them could be seen.
The shadow of the leaves of the lemon tree cast down, giving off an impression of tranquility and
gentleness. Nobody dared to disturb the two people who were lying on the bed.
Although Anne had been lying for quite some time, she could not sleep. Half an hour later, she finally
opened her eyes.
Her hands touched her belly subconsciously, and her mood turned somewhat indescribable.
On one hand, she was happy for Eddy; on the other hand, she did not like to be alone with Kevin.
But it seemed that he had made arrangements in his works in order to take care of her until her second
baby was born.
Thinking that she had to stay with Kevin like this, Anne frowned in dismay.
In AN Group.
At the sight of piles of documents and a dark table, people felt more depressed.
AN Group's employees never stopped working so others branded them as efficient. Although they were
productive, Sam felt sickened by it. He took a big sip of his hot coffee. Looking at him, nobody would be
able to guess how many cups of coffee he had had.
After taking a long and leisurely sip, he heaved a sigh.
"Sure enough, once you've been bullied, you're more likely to be bullied in the future as well." He
sighed again. The unhappiness in his eyes was apparent.
Kevin was a real villain. He always went out of his way to make him feel bad. Just because Sam was
filial, Kevin often bullied him by using his mother.
Since Sam's mother held eight percent of the shares of AN Group, Kevin asked him to handle all the
work for him.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to accept his fate. After all, his mother was his weakness.
"Kevin, you will fall into my hands sooner or later," Sam muttered to himself while clenching his fists in
anger.
"Mr. Sam, these are the documents that you weren't able to finish reading yesterday. Please have a
look." The man put the documents on the table. The documents piled up like a small hill, which made
Sam almost sick to his stomach and spit out blood.
At about three o'clock, the sun moved a little to the west.
The sunshine shone on the tatami. The warm light illuminated Anne's hair and long lashes, making it
look like they were dyed. The sun's rays were bright, but not blinding, giving people a quiet and
beautiful feeling.
Kevin stared at Anne with his tender eyes for a long time. It was as if he wanted to use up all his
strength by staring at her his whole life.
"You are awake." When Anne woke up, Kevin supported his head with his hand and looked at her
gently.
"Well, I want to go out for a walk." Anne did not like to stay at home for a long time. She liked freedom.
Kevin did not want her to go out because he was afraid that she would catch a cold. But seeing that
she did not look well, he agreed.
It was spring now. Flowers were blooming on the roadside, and the faint fragrance was pervading. All
of a sudden, Anne sneezed.
"What's wrong?" He held her in his arms nervously.
"I'm fine. There might just be pollen in the air." Anne covered her nose and frowned.
Kevin furrowed his brows upon seeing her like that. In the blink of an eye, he held her up in his arms
like a newlywed couple. "Don't move. Try to breathe less as well. After this section of road, there won't
be any flowers on the road ahead."
Feeling helpless, Anne closed her eyes. Along the way, she only heard his steady footsteps and strong
heartbeat.
It seemed that this road was very long. They had been going on for a long time, but she still had not
opened her eyes. She did not know where they were going.
She wanted to open her eyes to have a look, but was stopped by Kevin.
About five minutes later, he finally put her down. "Okay."
She was finally back on her feet. Since she had been carried by Kevin for a long time, she felt a little
dizzy. But according to Sam, pregnant women often experienced this so she just shrugged it off.
Since Kevin was paying attention to her, he noticed that she felt uncomfortable.
"Are you not feeling well?" he asked worriedly.
As Anne heard that, she shook her head and answered, "No, I'm fine."
"You'd better have a check-up. I'll ask Sam to come here to check on you," he suggested calmly.
"No, thanks. Sam is already very busy taking care of the company. I'll have a check when I'm free," she
answered, refusing Kevin's suggestions.
Seeing that Anne was insistent, he let it go. He knew better than to disobey her words.
"Then hold me. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll hug you," said Kevin seriously.
Upon hearing his words, she lowered her eyes to the ground in embarrassment. But deep inside, she
could not hold back the joy in her heart as it grew more intense every second. The corners of her
mouth twitched slightly upwards as she realized that she was getting Kevin's care and affection.
"Okay." Although Anne did not look at him, she was very gentle. Kevin felt surprised because it was
rare for her to be like that.
Realizing this, he was overjoyed. He wished he could stay with Anne intimately, but he was afraid that
she would reject him.
"I feel a little nauseated. I want to eat watermelon." For some reason, Anne missed the taste of
watermelon very much.
After saying that, she felt very strange. How could there be any watermelon at this time?
But Kevin agreed right away and he said directly, "I'll just get ready. Let's find a watermelon."
"Okay." Anne nodded. Since it was spring season, there was no way a watermelon could be available.
She figured that Kevin was just joking.
"I'm tired. I want to go back."
The sunshine they had earlier was now getting dimmer. The moon was getting ready to peek through
the clouds. It would be dark soon. When Anne came back home, she did not eat much and she went
straight to bed.
At six o'clock in the morning, Kevin woke her up.
During this time, the light outside was still dark and it was a bit chilly. Anne opened her eyes, but was
still somnolent. Plus, she was still groggy from her sleep and did not seem to be alert just yet.
"What's wrong?" she asked in confusion.
Kevin put the pair of clothes that he had brought in front of her. "Put on your clothes and come with
me."
"Where will we go?"
"You'll know when we get there." Kevin deliberately kept her in suspense, but Anne did not care. She
changed her clothes and was about to go out, but Kevin stopped her in tracks. He put a coat on her
shoulder and then went out with her with relief.
An hour later, his car stopped at the airport.
In the spacious parking lot, Kevin's silver gray sports car was extraordinarily eye-catching. The outline
of the flawless body of the car glinted in people's eyes.
"Is this the airport?" Suddenly, it dawned on Anne what his plans were.
"Yes, follow me. Let's eat watermelon," said Kevin.
"Where are you going? Why didn't you buy me watermelons directly? Why did we have to go so far?"
asked Anne, feeling a little dismayed.
Kevin was seeking far and neglecting what lay close at hand.
But he just responded with a mysterious smile,
"You'll know when you get there."
D City was a place full of fruits. All year round, fruits were available even if it was still not its season.
The small shops on the side were all selling fruits, To Anne's surprise, there were also watermelons
she wanted.
Seeing it, she swallowed hard. She was about to walk in, but was stopped by Kevin.
"Come with me." As he spoke, he held Anne's hand with an indifferent expression.
She did not try not get rid of his grasp as he pulled her forward. She followed him to where he was
leading her, only to find that Kevin took her to an orchard.
