Elaine tumbles down and feels badly hurt. Even if she falls down on the soft sofa, she feels her arms numb and it hurts.
"Ah...it hurts..."
Elaine wrinkles her face and looks at Emmett with her watery eyes while rubbing her arms.
She is like a small animal, curling up on the carpet and gently laying her head on the sofa.
Childishness still can be seen on her face. She looks really pure and innocent.
"It hurts? You also know that it hurts? When you hooked up with Oliver Young, did you ever think that it will also hurt me?” Emmett points at Elaine and growls.
The villa has been overwhelmed by silence in usual times as there are few masters here. Plus that Emmett is taciturn and cold, most of the time it’s very quiet in the villa.
But now… The sudden roar of their young master, Emmett, startles many servants. It is really rare that the young master would growl. And some of them even run out of the kitchen and cling onto the wall to steal a peek.
Amelia is also taken aback by Emmett's discomposure and roar.
She is frozen for a while, and then she finally manages to maintain the graceful standing posture of ladies.
…
Petrified, Elaine blinks her eyes violently upon hearing Emmett’s roar. She puckers up her lips and retorts in an aggrieved tone, “Who hooked up with him? Who hooked up with Oliver Young? I didn’t! I didn’t! Didn’t!”
“Does making Oliver Young so into you give you a sense of achievement? Are you pleased? Do you think that you’re charming and attractive?” Emmett spits out the words like a Peashooter with a fierce look.
When he is speaking, he even tears off his jacket and slams it onto the ground fiercely as he is totally hopping mad.
“I didn’t. I told you that I didn’t! It was him who wooed me at the very beginning. He asked me to be his girlfriend, but I kept refusing him. He was really annoying and kept pestering me. But I’ve never accepted his affection for me…”
“Then why did you keep hiding it from me? Huh? Why? Why didn’t you tell me that you know Oliver?”
“But you never asked me about this! How could I know that you two know each other? Have you ever asked me?”
“Anyway, Elaine, you just want to secretly date Olive, you want to be together with Oliver behind my back, right?”
"No, no! That’s not true!"
"Then what’s true? If it wasn't that I happened to be there tonight, you and Oliver would have been a couple and accept the blessings from all your friends, right? Huh? Damn it, you were even kissing!”
Emmett even had an urge to kill people when thinking of the kiss.
The scene of Oliver cupping her face and kissing her passionately emerges in his mind again. Emmett gets ballistic. He wants to pull Elaine over and beat her up, but his love and cares for Elaine stop him from doing so. He has no way to vent his anger. He turns around and sweeps the antique lamp on the table to the ground with one arm. With a loud sound, the lamp shatters into pieces.
But this is far from enough to appease Emmett. He picks up the landline phone, unplugs the wire and throws it towards the French window.
There comes a loud sound again.
The servants are all frightened by Emmett’s actions and step backward.
Amelia is scared too and shivers.
"Do you know what I want to do now? I want to kill people! Elaine, great, good job, you’ve totally angered me. I want to kill Oliver Young, and YOU, right now!”
Emmett grabs his hair and roars frantically.
Elaine is startled and gapes at him. All of a sudden, she seems to get over it. Even if she has to die, she shouldn’t die unexplainably!
She props herself up from the sofa, raises her chin and stares at the frantic Emmett, shouting, “Killing people? Go! Just do it! Come to me now! You can twist off my neck, or chop off my head, whatever! Is that enough? Fuck you! I’ve had enough of you! Who do you think you are? What’s your standpoint to throw a fit on me? What’s your relation with me? Are you my husband? Are you my daddy? You’re nothing to me! Who gives you the right to intervene in my private life? Yeah, I hooked up with Oliver. What’s wrong then? Is it of your business? You’re not my boyfriend? It’s none of your business! I not only hooked with Oliver. I dated one, two, three, four, five, six… countless men! Countless! I slept with countless men, but what’s the matter? Does it baffle you, President Smith? Alas, you really think highly of themselves! Who gives you the right to yell at me?”
Emmett is exasperated. He shouts in a low, gloomy voice, “E-L-A-I-N-E!”
“Who are you calling? Why are you shouting? I quit! I won’t fucking be your assistant any longer! Big deal! Who you think you are? I’m not going to play this game with you!” Elaine casts her eyes and angrily retorts back. When she is speaking, she grabs the pillow on the sofa and throws it towards Emmett. The pillow hits Emmett on his chest. Elaine snorts and walks past Emmett towards outside.
Emmett grits his teeth and clenches his fists, squeezing out a few words, “Elaine, come back!”
Elaine sniffs, “Shall I have to come back at your request? Why? You don’t have that power to do that! You don’t have the right to intervene in my affairs.”
After finishing the words, Elaine strides towards the door with her chin raised.
‘Alas, I’m not afraid of you now!’
She was scared just now and therefore she forgot her standpoint.
She’s by any means a free person. Emmett has no relationship with her other than she just once had a one-night stand with him. It’s not a big deal.
