Henry looked so serious that Emily felt panicked for no reason.
Her fingers next to her dress twitched slightly. She had been getting along with him for such a long time. They had been so familiar with each other.
But at this moment, because of the seriousness under his eyes, she suddenly felt that she still didn’t know him well enough.
“What, what do you want to say?”
“You look nervous.” Henry’s lips curled up into a smile that was hard to see through.
“Why are you nervous?” He walked in the room and closed the door.
Emily stared at him, “Who told you I am nervous?”
Why nervous. They had been together every day! “You think too much.”
She turned around and began to pack up the things on the desk, “What do you want to say? Hurry up. I still need to work overtime.”
“Now that all the work is on the track and the company has enough employees to use temporarily. Why do you still need to work overtime so late?”
Henry walked toward her. Though Emily didn’t turn around, yet she could still feel him getting closer.
It was an aura that only belonged to him. As he got closer, she could feel more relieved and even calmer.
He already stood behind her, but remained silent as though he was just watching her pack up things.
In fact, there was nothing to pack up. Emily was just trying to find something to do to distract herself.
The feeling tonight was actually a bit different than usual.
It was all because of the strange words of the two girls back in the office; otherwise, there would not be a problem for her to get along with Henry.
But what did it mean for him to stand behind in silence?
“Well,” Emily thought for a second and broke the silence voluntarily.
“I have already recovered and I can be like a normal person. No need to have someone take care of me. I mean it.”
“Hm?” His aura seemed to be closer, but since she didn’t turn around, Emily did not know what exactly he was doing.
She could only determine that he got closer to her based on her instinct.
“I mean, actually, can I… Move back…”
All of a sudden, Emily’s voice was completely interrupted.
She lowered her head and looked at the arms around her waist. Her heartbeat raced crazily at that instant.
What… What did he mean?
“Henry…”
“Let’s be together.” Henry buried his head in her neck, sniffing the unique fragrance that only belonged to her. He closed his eyes.
There were some words that had already been hidden inside his heart for a long time, but he had no chance to say it out.
His voice was low yet also mingled with the raucousness that easily charmed a woman, “You already saw him. Do you still want to be back to him?”
Emily’s body trembled. Merely imagining of that “him” made her shiver in fluster.
Henry clearly felt her unease. He hugged her harder.
“What are you afraid of? You… Why are you so afraid of him?”
“Henry, I don’t want to…”
“You don’t want to mention it, or you don’t want to go back?” He was hugging her, but he didn’t give her any pressure all along.
“I will give you another chance. If you want to go back, I will try my best to let him know about the truth of the entire story, but this is the last chance you have.”
What did it mean? Emily didn’t understand Henry’s words.
He seemed to understand her mind. His smile and warm breath landed on her neck, making her panicked.
“I will give you another chance to go back. If you miss it, I will… Never let go from now on!”
Emily’s heart trembled and wanted to push him away subconsciously.
