The media industry adhered to a set of rules. Only those who followed etiquette and played by the rules were able to gain a foothold in the high society.
Cameron and Zachary were making arrangements at the lounge.
Actually, there was nothing much for me to do, so I just helped Emery to get some things.
However, Emery was worried about me, so she asked the attendant to get the things she needed instead.
Therefore, I could only follow Emery around while wearing a smile on my face.
“Mr. Murphy will arrive soon. He’s the leading figure of the firearm and ammunition industry in K City. I guess Louis will be coming with him.” Emery put an almond into her mouth as she spoke.
Noticing her unusually good appetite, I intuitively gazed at her belly. Why does she keep eating all the time?
Sensing my gaze, she shrugged. “It’s two months but I don’t get any symptoms though. I just feel like eating.”
I was shocked. “Are you really pregnant?”
Emery nodded. “Yes. I’m already thirty-one. It’s the most ideal age for pregnancy. Of course, I won’t miss that.”
She paused mid-sentence, then looked at me before she continued, “You’re already thirty as well. Don’t you and Ashton plan to have a baby of your own?”
“It’s still too early for us.” I gave a perfunctory answer. Right then, a group of people were walking toward the lobby.
I changed the topic. “I think the Murphys are here.”
Emery turned around and saw a group of people escorting an old man with a head of white hair.
The latter looked like he was in his nineties.
“Mr. Murphy!” Emery greeted Robert with a smile as soon as the latter entered the lobby.
Robert smiled at her. Despite his age, his gleaming eyes radiated a majestic aura. “I can’t believe how time flies, Emery. You’ve grown up in just a blink of an eye and now you’re getting married.”
“Mr. Murphy, don’t get emotional. You’ll live a long life with a healthy body.”
Robert was pleased by Emery’s words. He held her hand and headed to the lounge.
Emery pulled me close. “Mr. Murphy, this is Scarlett Stovall, my brother’s daughter.”
Robert froze and scrutinized me for a few seconds. “Are you saying she is the one whom your brother was searching for?”
Emery nodded. “Yes, we finally found her after all these years.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Murphy,” I greeted.
