Was he nice to you?
It was so sad for Emily to hear that.
Emily thought that she was calm enough.
However, this simple question almost made her break down!
More than a month ago, she didn’t say anything and wanted to break up.
Hunter hadn’t called her for the whole time.
He didn’t even send her a single text message.
She did not get sad and think that he did not care about her.
On the contrary, she knew that all of this was to make her feel better and to not make things difficult for her.
“He treats me fairly. Not very well, but not bad either.”
Emily knew that lying to Henry would only make him feel worse.
Therefore, it was better to tell him the truth.
“He doesn’t care about where I go. But he wants me to stay in the WongRiver Pavilion, so I’ll stay there this semester.”
“And he got a private teacher for me. So, I didn’t drop much of my lessons.”
“In the Jacksons’, I live a pretty good life. Look, I’m a lot whiter.”
All of this was true.
No exaggeration, no concealment.
Hunter had indeed treated her like this.
The next second, the elevator stopped.
The moment the elevator door opened, Emily pulled her hand back.
At the same time, Henry let her go.
Emily was grateful. It had been more than a month since she saw him, but he was the same as before.
He was careful, considerate, and never made things difficult for her.
Perhaps, his request for her to stay was the biggest challenge for him.
This man…
“Henry, why are you here?” Lois and the others were surprised when they saw Henry in the September Company.
They haven’t seen him here in the past month.
It seemed that if Emily didn’t come, he wouldn’t come, either.
Although they were all in the office park of the Sharp Group, the main building was quite a distance away from them.
If they didn’t go to the main building to look for Henry, they wouldn’t see him at all.
Today, Emily came back, and Henry also came.
Coincidence? Or was it intentional?
“Just to check the warehouse upstairs.” Henry put his hands back into his pockets and said, “Let’s see if there is a need for your company to expand.”
However, it didn’t seem necessary for Henry, a dignified Sharp, to come over and check the warehouse himself.
However, no one had said anything about Henry’s excuse.
Lois asked, “So, have you eaten dinner?”
Henry shook his head.
Lois immediately said, “We are going out for dinner. Why don’t you join us?”
Henry ignored her invitation. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Emily beside him, saying, “Is that okay?”
Emily was surprised. But when she looked up at Henry, she smiled indifferently.
“Of course. The boss wants to treat us to dinner. How could you say no to that?”
She just took Henry as her boss.
Emily did see that the light in Henry’s eyes had dimmed a lot.
However, no one could say anything else at the moment.
Was that okay if he ate with them? Of course.
Lois smiled, “Then, hurry up. We’re so hungry!”
They had a big meal, but nobody was comfortable.
It wasn’t because Henry the boss was here, but because they didn’t know where they would have the next dinner together.
And they didn’t know when it could be.
At 8:30, Emily had to go back.
Henry was the first one to leave. Everyone thought that he had something to do.
However, when they walked out, they saw him driving the dark luxury car that he liked at the entrance of the restaurant.
