Suddenly, when Emelia was asked by Viggo, she stopped drinking water and looked a little confused.
After meeting Viggo's affectionate gaze, she instantly came to her senses.
Nina was right. Viggo was into her.
Emelia had always felt that Nina was talking nonsense, but at this moment, Viggo's eyes revealed everything.
She put down the glass uneasily, "Mr. Johansen, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Viggo directly confessed to her, "Emelia, I like you very much."
Emelia was so terrified that she was on the verge of escaping.
It had been many years since she had been confessed. After graduating from college, she married Julian. Other than Nina, none of her former classmates were in contact with her. She was separated from the world and performed her duty as Mrs. Hughes.
She didn't want to have too much contact with any man, so as not to bring negative news to Julian and the Hughes Family.
At this time, after being suddenly confessed by Viggo, Emelia was not only shocked but also frightened.
Viggo saw her uneasiness and slowed down his tone, "At first, I was just attracted by your literary talent. Later, when I slowly came into contact with you, I found that your temperament was also charming and gentle, which made me want to cherish and take care of you."
"I know that you probably don't want to talk about love for the time being. I originally wanted to continue to suppress my feelings, but what happened to Oliver and his son just now made me no longer want to suppress and hide it."
Viggo looked at her and said word by word sincerely, "I want to stand by your side and protect you from any harm."
Emelia admitted that when she was in such a troubled situation, Viggo's words moved her a lot.
But the more moved she was, the more rational she became.
The more rational she became, the more she felt that she could not harm Viggo.
She shook her head and said, "Mr. Johansen, thank you for your appreciation, but I believe that you will meet a better girl in the future."
She had once divorced and was not worthy of Viggo.
And a perfect Prince Charming like Viggo was worth a better girl.
Viggo naturally knew why she said such a thing. He asked her bitterly, "Why do you look down on yourself? You are very good, perfect and excellent."
Viggo tried his best to make Emelia put down the self-abasement, "My family background is very ordinary. My parents are ordinary people. You don't have to bear the pressure of family background when you are with me.
"
This was a great pain in Emelia's heart. Heather and Caroline looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts, so the three years of marriage had left a big shadow in her heart.
Emelia could feel Viggo's sincerity, but she still lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johansen..."
She loved a man and knew what it felt like to love someone.
And she had no feelings of love for Viggo at this moment.
Viggo's eyes dimmed a little, but then he smiled gently, "I knew you would refuse."
A year ago, after her divorce with Julian, she had been in a state of focusing on her career. Viggo could tell it, so he did not say anything more.
If it weren't for what happened today, he would have waited patiently for her to open her heart.
"Let's go. I'll take you home first." Viggo got up.
Emelia quickly said, "No need, I'll go back by myself."
Viggo insisted on sending her off. "Now that you're like this, I'm not at ease letting you go back by yourself. I think you should take it easy."
Emelia had no choice but to listen to Viggo. When the two of them went out of the conference room together, the other employees kept looking at Emelia, as if they really saw her as a heartless person who didn't support her parents.
After entering the elevator, Viggo comforted Emelia. "I'll explain it to everyone when I come back."
