“Does being with me makes you feel so uncomfortable? Don’t forget, you were the one who begged me
in the first place, begged me to take you! Now, you’re rejecting me like this! Elaine Jones, do you know
how many women want to be mine? If you give up all these unnecessary efforts and hard work, just
follow me, you can have everything! A lifetime of wealth, the most luxurious house! A few models of
cars that you can drive! Countless jewelry, the most fashionable clothing! Are you silly? Why do you
have to choose the hardest and toughest road?”
He shouted to the point Elaine was dumbfounded, to the point passerby kept looking back, and he was
shocked by himself as well. He… actually… lost control…
“The road is yours to choose, you settle it yourself!” Emmett hurriedly finished saying and left Elaine
alone, striding forward.
Elaine has been in a daze until she couldn’t see Emmett’s shadow before murmuring, “Be, because… I
want to pursue my own kind of life.”
If she were to become his mistress, his so-called little toy meant that her life would be completely
rewritten. She couldn’t be like other girls, falling in love freely or date in university. Falling in love and
selling her body are two very different concepts. She was poor, but she didn’t want to sell herself like
this. Then again, hooking up with a fierce and harsh guy like Emmett, she doesn’t have the courage for
the time being.
“Aye, my mala soup, it’s a pity to not finish it.” Elaine scratched her head and walked towards the office
direction with her head down.
When she reached level 29th, she saw Sophia first. “Elaine, have you eaten? I called you earlier to say
I would treat you today, who knew you would run away so fast.”
Sophia smiled lightly, drinking her lemonade. Earlier on, she had quietly told Maya that Elaine went to
eat at a small stall to save money. But Maya then told Becky, probably Becky had… Now, the entire
secretary floor knows that Elaine was a poor person. She couldn’t even afford a business set meal…
“Oh, still alright.” Elaine walked inwards with her head down.
“What did you eat?”
“Mala soup.” Just as she said this, everyone in the secretary’s office looked at each other. See, she
was indeed poor; she actually ate… mala soup! Oops, it’s so embarrassing.
Sophia was a little regretful, why was she so nice to this little girl. Being in the same team as a poor
person, it was quite humiliating.
Elaine walked to her desk and couldn’t even play computer games, lying on the table, depressed.
Because she wasn’t full, depressed. Because of Emmett’s roar, depressed.
When he returned to his office, Emmett paced back and forth like a rampant. His tie flew, sleeves rolled
up as if he wanted to find someone to fight with. Elaine, this woman… Really annoyed him!
He looked at the packed food on the table, naturally frowned again. Thinking about it, sighed, forget it,
he wouldn’t be calculative with the little thing. Who asked him to be so much older than her? Eight
years, it couldn’t be for naught.
Pressed the telecom button and said, “Elaine, come in my office for a while.”
Elaine frowned and pouted, she wasn’t so happy. She stood up lazily, and when she got to Emmett’s
door, she knocked, “President Smith.” Then she pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Emmett facing
her, sitting in the chair, and reading the newspaper, he looked exceptionally serious and meticulous.
“President Smith, looking for me?”
Emmett didn’t even move his eyelids and kept reading his newspaper. Pointing at the packed food on
the table, “Oh, these foods were packed back, I can’t eat it anymore, you can take it and eat it. It would
be a pity to throw away.”
Elaine was surprised. She looked at the expensive oak box, then back at Emmett’s handsome profile,
who was concentrated on the newspaper, and was a little dazed. Why? Why was bad-bear Smith
suddenly so kind to her? Would there be any trap…?
“President Smith, thank you, I’m full already,” Elaine said politely and was ready to turn and go.
The newspaper in Emmett’s hand was about to be torn, he suddenly raised his head and growled,
“Asked you to take it, you take it! Why do you have so much nonsense! Any more, your salary will be
deducted!”
Oops. Elaine was frightened. Oh God, not eating lunch provided by the boss is also a crime.
“Oh, then thank you, President Smith.” Elaine’s expression was not a thankful one, it was just like
seeing a demon or ghost. Taking the boxes out, she scampered out. Bang! The door was slammed
shut.
“Urgh… I’m so mad…” As soon as the door closed, Emmett didn’t hold back and exhaled a long breath.
Damn it! It’s so infuriating. He had to force her before all these packed seafood, abalones, and shark
fins were given out. She would only take a thousand-dollar meal away with threats of salary deduction.
Not a sense of accomplishment… In a panic earlier, his newspaper… was upside down. And he had to
act for a while. Of course, not a single word was read.
--
Elaine went back to her desk with the precious lunch box; it took a long time before she calmed down.
Looking at the box, then back at the door, she started having questions. Why was he giving her food?
Why? He had leftovers, so he took away for her? Did he treat her like an animal? Oh, no, President
Smith didn’t call her that, she was known as… a small toy.
The packed lunch was really exquisite, it was oak inside, and it was packaged with a brownish-red
patterned cloth outside. Removing the fabric, Elaine carefully opened the box.
“Woah—” Elaine couldn’t help but took a deep breath. There were three layers in total! It was all
delicious food! What’s that black looking thing? It looks a bit weird, but it should be edible? Elaine used
her chopstick to poke the abalone.
“Woah, there’s my favorite vermicelli! Not bad! I like this!” Elaine treated the shark fin as vermicelli and
clapped her hands.
With four dishes laid out on the table, Elaine didn’t think much, anyway, she didn’t have her fill earlier
on, so she should continue eating! Just as she was eating, Sophia came by.
“Ah! Elaine, you’re eating!” Didn’t she say she had her fill before coming back and still said that she had
mala soup in front of everybody? Why was she, like opening a stall, and still eating?
“Oh, Ms. Sophia, do you want some. The taste is not bad.” Elaine had her cheeks full, rolling her eyes
and offering enthusiastically to Sophia.
“Nonono, I’m full already, I can’t eat anymore. Elaine, so you didn’t eat outside. Why lie to me.” When
Sophia saw the four dishes that Elaine was eating, she sucked in a deep breath.
“What!” It couldn’t be? Sea cucumber… Abalone… Shark fin… Steamed shrimp dumpling that had the
shrimp revealed… Sophia’s eyes protruded a lot! Oh my! This meal alone would cost thousands?
Sophia looked at Elaine’s face again… Weird, eating such a costly meal, yet she was eating carelessly
as if she was eating her own instant noodles. Chewing in a big mouthful, and not feeling that she was
chewing on money.
Sophia’s face was cramped. She could be sure now that this girl that looked silly was really good at
hiding! Really wealthy… Hence, with the fastest speed, Sophia ran to the secretary’s office and told
them about what just happened, adding spices and sauces with particular emphasis. The topic that
died down about Elaine from earlier was once again revived.
Elaine couldn’t eat anymore, but she has always been a thrifty child and was never willing to waste, so
she persisted and finished all.
“Hicc! So full!” Elaine stroked her belly, “Will I be stuffed to death?” Elaine cleaned the table and started
strolling in her inch of land.
“Assistant Jones, make a cup of coffee.” Emmett’s voice rang thru the intercom. Elaine didn’t dare to
neglect and hurried to make the coffee for the president. When she was on the way to the pantry,
passing by the secretariat office, all the senior secretaries took the initiative to greet her.
“Oh, Elaine. Busy?”
Elaine couldn’t stand it, wasn’t this welcoming voice too loud?
“Eh, busy, busy. President Smith wants a cup of coffee.”
After making the coffee, Elaine pushed open the door, she was still unable to control her hiccups.
There was no one in the working area, and Elaine already had the experience, so he should be in the
room. She knocked on the door leading to the room, “President Smith? Can I go in?”
There was no reply, did he fall asleep? Elaine waited a while, then knocked on the door twice again.
There was still no sound from within. Hence, she lightly pushed open the door and walked in. She saw
bad-bear Smith’s coat on the sofa. There was the newest tablet on the small table.
“Woah, bad-bear Smith also watches drama?” Hehe, now she knew one of his gossips. Elaine placed
the coffee on the table and couldn’t help but leaned in to watch the plot.
Oh? It was the Taiwanese youth drama that she liked to watch!
