Beloved Old Lover

At exactly seven o’clock in the morning, Daniel drove Emily back to the hotel. He took the initiative to go out so she could comfortably shower and change clothes, then it was his turn.

The feeling of sharing the living space in this room with a girl made him feel like they were a couple, almost husband and wife.

“The wounds haven’t completely healed yet. Besides, you told your dad you were going on a business trip for a week.”

Daniel spoke up when he saw her arranging the dresses and clothes he bought and putting them into bags.

Although she hadn’t said anything, he understood that this was the action of someone who was about to leave.

“Ah, I… I miss him and I don’t feel very secure, an elderly person being at home alone…”

When she said this, she immediately fell silent. Her family’s current difficult financial situation needs to be kept secret. Daniel would certainly be surprised to know that her family cannot hire a maid.

In the past, her father hired a maid, but now she takes care of all the housework during free hours like weekends or early mornings.

“That’s right, okay, just take it all to the car and I’ll take you home in the afternoon.”

She was startled when she heard this suggestion. If she sat in his car in the morning and the same in the afternoon, it would be no different than he was dropping her off and picking her up.

Thinking back and forth, she put the bags back in the closet and said she would leave them here for now, in case she had an accident that caused the clothes to get dirty, she would come here to change because, after all, this hotel was near the company.

She just used that as an excuse, but the person across from her seemed extremely happy. He nodded repeatedly and gave her a spare room card so she could come in and out at any time.

Receiving the room card from his hand, she felt like she had crawled half into a cage.

“Just leave your dirty clothes here, the staff will come pick them up and wash and iron them.” He took the bag in her hand, put it on the chair and pulled her away.

Both of them stopped by the restaurant, had a quick breakfast, and then went to the company.

The car sped along the road and soon turned into the large gate of Unicons corporation.

Although Daniel bears almost half of the responsibilities of the Unicons group, he is still the youngest son, so he is pampered by his parents more than Kevin. In Matthew’s eyes, he is still young.

The expectations he placed on his eldest son were higher, so the responsibility that Kevin shouldered was also greater.

If he is absent from the office without a valid reason, it will be considered irresponsible. Unlike his younger brother, his work schedule can be combined with traveling if he wants.

“Mr. Daniel…”

Emily was so surprised because as soon as she got out of the car, Daniel grabbed her hand and pulled her away. Many employees standing in the parking lot looking at them with wide eyes.

When they both arrived at the main hall, Emily felt like the fever was coming back to find her again, it seemed like malaria, about to have dengue fever because in front of her now was the face of her ex-lover. His eyes seemed to be looking at the two hands clasped together.

Kevin just opened his mouth and before he could utter a word, the man and woman passed by him as fast as the wind.

Remembering what his younger brother said in the hospital, he was not willing so he quickly followed them.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Emily felt something was wrong so she turned to look back and was extremely frightened when she realized Kevin was walking right behind her.

She kept her eyes wide open and looked at Kevin, no matter where Daniel pulled her, that’s where she would go. When she regained consciousness, she realized that Daniel had dragged her to his office.

“Stop!” Kevin held Emily’s hand with one hand and held on to the door edge with the other hand, not allowing her to follow Daniel into the room.

Inside, Emma heard the noise, looked up, and saw this scene of struggle, so she was completely motionless, eyes wide open to look at the three people standing in the aisle.

“Brother, from now on she will work under me. I told you yesterday.” Daniel glared at his brother.

“I’ve been training her professionally for the past half month, spending a lot of effort, but you dare to say you’ll get her back? Do you think your brother has a lot of free time?” Kevin gritted his teeth.

Emily looked at this person’s face and then at the other person, her mind racing, trying to quickly understand what they were saying.

Did they talk about her yesterday? When and where? Why did she suddenly become the reason why they were shouting at each other like that?

“But you can’t protect her. You abandoned her and didn’t worry. You have a grudge against her. You want revenge on her.”

“Okay, I promise, from now on, I will protect Emily, I will not take revenge anymore. Okay?”

Not only Emily but also Daniel and Emma were stunned when they heard Kevin scream.

To be honest, Emily did not expect Kevin to promise to protect her. Even if Kevin did not say these words, she still chose to return to being his assistant because she did not want to accept Daniel’s feelings.

She wanted to shorten the distance with Kevin but wanted to widen the distance with his younger brother from the moment she realized that Daniel’s eyes on her had changed a lot.

In a moment of inattention, Daniel lost the girl’s hand. She quickly retracted her hand and walked towards Kevin.

“We should respect work. What happened yesterday was unexpected. I will continue this work until Mr. Venn comes back.” She bowed her head and spoke softly.

To prove what he had just said, Kevin let go of Emily’s hand, took the phone, and called Brian, explaining the situation that happened yesterday and asking Brian to ask Jennifer to proactively quit her job instead of being kicked out of Unicons Group by him.

Of course, this action of his once again shocked the three people present here. Daniel originally planned to send Jennifer out of the company after arranging a new job for Emily, but it seems his brother is one step ahead.

“Return to the office.”

After saying that, Kevin went first. Emily agreed and bowed to Daniel and Emma, then hurriedly chased after him.

Yesterday, when she saw him carrying Jennifer, she was very heartbroken and jealous, but just now, that call from him warmed her heart.

However, that was just a little warmth to soothe her heart because now, he has a new girlfriend. Maybe he did that because he wanted to separate her and Daniel, and had no other intention.

That is good. But she hopes Emma won’t hate her because of her boyfriend’s words that easily make people misunderstand.

“What’s today’s schedule?” Kevin asked as he took off his vest and hung it on the swivel chair.

“Ah, you don’t have an appointment this morning. At noon you have an appointment to have dinner with the director of the television station and journalists. You have a meeting with the project managers at two o’clock in the afternoon. At five o’clock you have a dinner appointment with the Secretary of the city Party Committee and at seven o’clock in the evening you have to attend the ceremony to award the title of the outstanding young entrepreneur.”

Just reading the schedule for Kevin, but Emily also felt tired. She guessed that it would be midnight before he could crawl home today.

Fortunately, he didn’t bring her with him to many outside meetings, otherwise, she would probably crawl on all fours and not be able to walk on two legs anymore.

“At noon, go out to eat with me.”

“Yes.”

She felt like he had read her mind. Just as she felt lucky that he didn’t take her out, this afternoon, she had to follow him to have a meal with the journalists and the TV station director.

The morning passed quickly and when the clock struck eleven o’clock in the afternoon, Kevin and Emily also left the office. He took her to the restaurant area that specializes in serving rustic dishes.

Reporters and journalists often travel here and there, to rural areas a lot, so they like these dishes. As for him, for the past nine years, he has been living in the city, occasionally flying abroad, and has no time to enjoy delicious food, only eating for meals.

The appointment time was eleven thirty, the Unicons group was located near this restaurant, so just five minutes later, he and she were in the main lobby.

While the two of them were going to the pre-booked room, a waitress carrying a bowl of hot soup in the opposite direction suddenly slipped.

Seeing both the girl and the bowl of soup rushing toward Kevin, Emily quickly hugged him, switching positions between both of them. As a result, she had a bowl of soup splashed on her back, and the waitress fell to the floor.

Even though there was a layer of clothing to cover her, Emily still felt the heat brought by the bowl of soup. She frowned but tried not to scream.

“Are you okay?” Kevin was worried, quickly pushed her away, and asked.

Just as he was about to turn Emily around to see, she quickly widened the distance because she was afraid of dirtying his hands and also afraid of getting hurt herself if he accidentally touched her burn.

“I’m sorry, are you okay?” The waitress stood up, ran next to Emily, and asked.

“Oh, it’s okay.” Emily quickly reassured the girl opposite her because she realized her eyes were red and her voice was trembling as if she was about to cry.

Glancing at the clock, seeing that there were still fifteen minutes left until the appointment time, Emily immediately told Kevin to go to the room first, while she would go change and come back immediately.

After she finished speaking, she ran away so quickly that he didn’t have time to say anything. He didn’t know where she ran to change clothes. Maybe she’ll go to a nearby clothing store?

The taxi took Emily to the Empire Hotel and parked in front of the gate to wait because she said she would quickly return to Hometown restaurant.

Luckily this morning she left her clothes here. If she brought her whole body covered in soup into a fashion shop to choose clothes, it would be too strange. Furthermore, she needed to take a shower.

Looking at the large red mark on her back reflected in the mirror, she sighed softly. Fortunately, it wasn’t blistering, just red and a little painful.

Perhaps this month is her unlucky month when she is constantly injured, old wounds have not healed, and new wounds appear.

Emily’s time to shower, change clothes, and reapply her makeup is all in five minutes. She feels like she’s about to become Superman’s mother.

Carefully closing the door, she ran to the elevator and when she got out, she ran back to the gate.

“Ah, sorry, sorry.” She bowed her head and quickly spoke up when she almost bumped into a man.

“It’s okay. You shouldn’t run in high heels, it’s very dangerous.” He waved his hand, and after speaking, he quickly ran to the parking lot.
