Chapter 61: The Boss Was A Little Weird
The little girl cannot be underestimated.
“You’re good.” Emmett stared at Elaine who was eating, and subconsciously blurt out his inner thoughts. After speaking, he was stunned. Oh my God, how could he say that out loud! Therefore, Emmett’s face blushed slightly. He was somewhat embarrassed.
“Huh? President Smith, what did you say?” Elaine was making a clean sweep with her face stained with cream; she hadn’t understood what Emmett had just said. She looked at Emmett in a daze with her big distinct eyes.
“Ahem…” Emmett thought for a while, and changed his words and said, “I said… I said, you have a good appetite.”
“Haha, yes, I can eat a lot.” Elaine grinned as if she didn’t mind his words. Her smile was so bright and harmless.
“I used to fight for food with my sister, and she couldn’t steal from me every time. So, my sister likes to mock at me with her words. Speaking of it, my sister’s eloquence was trained by me.”
Emmett felt that it was a little funny when he thought of how Elaine and another girl rolled around together and fought for food. He pursed his thin lips, smiled, and asked, “Why do you need to fight for it?”
“What do you think? My father has no money, and if he bought only one delicious item, how can we not fight for it?” Elaine spoke plainly, and as she said, she continued using a fork to send food into her mouth and was eating with relish.
But Emmett was extremely shocked. What kind of environment does Elaine live in? Last night, he had the same thoughts because of that dirty and small alley. And now, he couldn’t help sighing secretly.
“Elaine, from tomorrow morning, I will pick you up and have breakfast together.”
Ahem, Ahem, Ahem! (⊙_⊙) Elaine was shocked by these words. She coughed violently, and her eyes widened. Her mouth was agape, and she inhaled hard, “Why?” The tone she used sounded as if she was about to cry from fright.
Emmett’s face went dark. Damn it, when she heard he was going to pick her up every day for breakfast, this girl was ungrateful and unhappy. She actually expressed such an expression like she was about to die. It was too traumatizing!
Emmett squinted, “What do you mean by saying ‘why’? You can save transportation money if I fetch you to work, and you can also save breakfast money. Don’t you gain from this? Why are you still asking why?”
“But…” Elaine hasn’t recovered from the shock, and her eyes were still widened and she only used her tongue to lick away the minced meat on her lips. Then she said, “But President Smith… For you to fetch me to work every day and to have breakfast together… Isn’t this too weird?”
“What’s the weird point?”
“This isn’t weird? Are there such bosses! Forget it, I don’t need to be fetched. Besides, I can’t eat breakfast outside every day; I have to make breakfast for my sister.”
Emmett stopped talking. He understood that she didn’t want him to pick her up like this every day. Humph, she even said that she had to make breakfast for her sister… For a lazy pig like her, who couldn’t wake up every morning, who could she cook for? It was just an excuse for this girl to decline.
Clang! Emmett pulled his face immediately and dropped the knife and fork in his hand.
That clangorous sound made Elaine tremble. Oops… This boss… has a weird temper. He got angry without any sign. Alas, wasn’t it for his own good that she didn’t allow him to pick her up? He would save a lot of trouble, and of course, he would save money as well. Although she knew that he wasn’t short of money at all.
“I’m done.” Emmett coldly said, turned his face facing outside, and said nothing.
Elaine wanted to continue eating, but when she saw the boss acting this way, she couldn’t continue stuffing herself undiscerningly… Hence, Elaine put down her knife and fork hesitantly, and whispered, “Oh, then I’m done too.”
Emmett turned his face to look at Elaine; he wanted to growl, but held back. He had no alternative but to grit his teeth, and picked up his fork again, and said, “Keep eating! Eat until you’re full!”
“Huh? Oh… Got it.” Elaine was eager to do so; she quickly picked up her fork and knife, and ate happily again.
Emmett despised himself a lot! He actually didn’t want to starve this girl one bit! When both of them were full, they walked out together.
“Slow down… Hey, President Smith… Walk slower…” Elaine yelled quietly.
“Huh?” Emmett turned around and waited for Elaine. “What happened to you?”
Elaine grabbed Emmett’s sleeve, looked around, and whispered, “I’m too full and can’t walk too fast. I can’t walk.”
Emmett couldn’t help but laughed. The icy cold face from earlier had melted entirely.
“Oh you, why are you so useless? Was this meal going to last you the whole day?” Emmett didn’t speak further and put the car key into Elaine’s hand.
Elaine wondered why he passed her the car key; then Emmett had already carried her in his arms.
“Oh… What are you doing? Why are you carrying me?” Elaine’s face blushed with embarrassment, and she didn’t dare to look at the waiters beside them, and hid her face in Emmett’s embrace.
“You just ate, don’t walk, lest your stomach will sag.” Emmett said lightly, his steps natural and elegant, and carried Elaine out.
The waitresses were all sighing. When looking for a man, this type was the kind to look for! The best of the best! Wealthy and powerful, yet caring and considerate.
Elaine got in the sports car, and it took her a long time to calm herself down. She looked at the mirror frequently and repeatedly muttered, “Aye, will people laugh at me with the way you carried me out earlier. The service staff must be saying that I’m greedy and think that I’m so full that my stomach will explode. Too humiliating, too embarrassing!”
The corner of Emmett’s mouth twitched. It turned out that this was what she minded and not because he had made such a romantic move… Alas, after all, she was a kid.
“Stop the car!!!” Elaine shouted suddenly, frightening Emmett. He immediately stopped the car, turned and looked at Elaine, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Only then, Elaine put a smile on her face, and said, “Stop here, President Smith. I can’t possibly go to the garage in your car, lest I be discovered, and people will gossip about you. Besides, I’m too full, it’s perfect for a walk from here to the company.”
Emmett sighed, “Do you know, what it means for you to have a scandal with me?” It means that… the entire company will have to take your cue and act respectfully towards you!
Elaine was shocked by these words, trembled, rolled her eyes around, and cautiously asked, “Does it mean… I will be fired?”
Emmett rubbed his fingers on his forehead, completely speechless. Couldn’t communicate… Was there really a generation gap? Not wanting to make it difficult for the girl, Emmett silently agreed to Elaine.
Elaine got out of the car and touched her bulging belly with great satisfaction. She bared her teeth and smiled at Emmett, “President Smith, the breakfast in the restaurant today was actually quite delicious. Why were there no customers in such a nice place?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Emmett’s mouth twitched again and was speechless. “Walk slowly, don’t walk too fast, lest your stomach sags.” After Emmett said these words, he drove away.
Stomach sags? Elaine tilted her head… Eh? This sounded familiar! Come to think of it, her father used to say the same thing to her. Speaking of which, bad-bear Smith was really like her father. He was long-winded and wanted to control everything. How would Elaine know that Emmett was actually the least talkative person and that he had no sympathy for others?
“Elaine! You walk to work too?” Sophia had just turned the corner and saw Elaine, and she greeted her enthusiastically. Could she not greet her? Her sharp eyes were able to see that no matter what Elaine felt about President Smith, the way President Smith’s saw Elaine… It was definitely not simple! This kind of girl had to be served as a bodhisattva!
“Oh, it’s Ms. Sophia, what a coincidence! You’ve also come to work at this time.” Elaine was actually very flustered. She was afraid that Sophia would ask her, “Hey, the car that you got off from looks very much like President Smith’s car?”
She doesn’t want to be fired… It can’t be helped that she was bullied by that guy, bad-bear Smith, but she shouldn’t be that unlucky and be fired from being misunderstood. Then the loss would outweigh the
gains.
“Yeah, Elaine, us, sisters are fated, hahaha.” Sophia hooked onto Elaine’s arm, looking like real siblings, and walked to the company together.
It was the morning rush hour, and many employees were waiting for the elevator in the lobby. All six elevators were working, but there were simply too many employees working at the building. Hence, even with six lifts, there were still many people waiting.
Emmett had his personal elevator which was always empty, but no one had the guts to use it.
“See that? That red elevator at the end, it is exclusively for President Smith.” Sophia told Elaine in a low voice.
“Exclusive? Even the elevator is exclusive?” Elaine couldn’t help but twitched her lips. This bad-bear Smith only knew how to engage in particularism.
“For a long time, only Vice-President Hall has taken that elevator. Elaine, you can be considered President Smith’s favorite person, so you can take that elevator too.” Sophia laughed like a fox with a desire to stir up trouble.
