"I have drunk water. I really have brought and drunk water. Don't worry. Elaine, I'm driving! Go ahead."
Elaine heard that the radio was broadcasting the bus stops.
"Dad, the school has arranged for the students of the School of Arts to go abroad to draw. We are leaving this afternoon."
"Abroad? That's great! Do you need some money?"
Although Bruno said so, he didn't have much money.
After paying for the food, the cigarettes and the alcohol, he did not have much of his little salary left.
Luckily, Elaine did part-time job in summer vacation, earned some money and paid for college.
"I don't need any money. It's free. Don't worry, Dad. I'm just worried about you and Ellie. Take care of yourselves and pay attention to your dinners."
As Elaine spoke, she felt weepy.
When she went abroad with Emmett for a few days last time, she did not feel so sad as if what she had said was her last words.
"I see. I see. You're long-winded. All right, Elaine. Bye."
Bruno hung up the phone.
Elaine was still sobbing for a long time.
After circling around the campus with her phone, Elaine called Emmett unconsciously.
The phone rang for a while. Then Emmett rejected her call.
"How dare you not answer my phone? You're annoying! Bastard!"
Elaine pouted, sat on the small stone stool, felt depressed and stared at the sky in a daze.
...
'Why didn't he answer my phone...?'
Only then did Elaine realize that she relied on Emmett heavily. No matter what it was, she would think of him first.
Emmett was having a meeting with the managers of several branches in the small conference room. His mobile phone was vibrating in his pocket. He stopped talking and took out his mobile phone to take a look.
He frowned immediately.
'It's Elaine.'
After thinking for a moment, he rejected her call.
It was impossible for him to answer the phone while he was having a meeting and speaking.
Emmett planned to spend half an hour on criticism, but he reduced the meeting to five minutes and talked to them gently.
"I have told you five points. Think about them after the meeting. I will check your work according to these five points in a week. If you miss anything, you will be fired. That's all!"
Emmett waved his hand. All the managers stood up, bowed to Emmett and left.
"He didn't criticize us today. We're lucky!"
"I'm also surprised. I received a phone call from Sophia. I heard from her that Emmett was in a bad mood today. Probably something happened to a branch company. I guessed that he would punish us today."
"That's it. I heard about it, too. I was even ready for the near-death situation."
"Let's go. Stop talking nonsense in case Mr. Smith regrets and calls us back."
The words of Mr. Sutton, who was in his forties, made all the managers' hair stand on end and they ran off.
Sophia also felt it was strange. Didn't Emmett say that he would spend an hour to hold a serious criticism meeting? Why did he end the meeting so quickly? It wasn't how Emmett did things.
Emmett had always been known for being strict.
Sophia walked to Emmett's office, popped her head around the door, smiled and asked,
"Mr. Smith, would you like to drink some hot drinks? Coffee?"
"Milk tea."
"OK."
Sophia left his office and widened her eyes with surprise.
...
'Milk ... tea?'
'Mr. Smith would like to drink milk tea this time!'
'Oh my God, it's scary!'
'Mr. Smith didn't drink milk tea at all!'
'Elaine, on the other hand, likes to drink milk tea.'
Emmett untied his tie and lay on the long sofa comfortably. He crossed his slender legs and was filled with evil and charm.
Then he called Elaine.
Soon, Elaine answered the phone.
"Why didn't you answer my phone? You're annoying!"
Elaine pouted and complained.
When she saw the phone number, she immediately sat up straight and was full of beans.
Just now, she felt blue and was like a little fish that lacked water, but now she was in high spirits.
She was looking forward to this call.
However, she was reluctant to let Emmett notice that she had been waiting for him! If so, he would become arrogant!
Hazel taught her that.
"You didn't answer my phone and even rejected my call. You went too far!"
Emmett chuckled.
Emmett chuckled. His ice-cold eyes were melting bit by bit and filled with gentleness.
'She starts to act girly.'
When he thought of how cute she was, he was full of affection.
"I was in a meeting. A dozen managers stared at me with wide eyes and listened to me. It was not convenient for me to answer the phone."
"America! No! Keep guessing!"
...
"France? The scenery in France is quite good."
"You're wrong!"
"I'm wrong again. It's hard to guess. Africa?"
"Fancy that! Mr. Smith, you fail to guess. Let me tell you, it's Iceland!"
Emmett heard Elaine's hearty laughter and couldn't help but laugh secretly. He endured the laughter with difficulty.
"You will go to Iceland. It's a good place. The scenery of Northern Europe is worth visiting."
By then, Sophia knocked on the door and entered.
She respectfully carried a cup of milk tea and carefully delivered it in.
(⊙o⊙) ...
'Mr. Smith is lying on the sofa and looks relaxed....'
'He is so handsome!'
'He is so handsome! He is so charming! He is so attractive for women!'
Sophia was so stunned by the handsome Emmett that she almost knocked over the cup.
Her hands shook. Then she gently placed the milk tea on the coffee table.
Emmett waved his hand at Sophia with a gentle smile.
'Mr. Smith is so charming when he is gentle!'
'His smile is like the smile of a god!'
Just as Sophia was about to leave, she finally heard the word "baby".
'That's it!'
'Mr. Smith is on the phone with a woman, so he ends the meeting in a hurry and orders milk tea.'
'It seems that Mr. Smith is reminiscing about someone by drinking a cup of milk tea.'
"To my surprise, my university is so good. I can go abroad at the beginning of the school year. It deserves to be called a good university!"
Elaine raised her chin proudly. Her chubby face was full of brilliant smile.
"Yes. Your university is good. When are you leaving?"
"I will leave this afternoon."
"How about having a lunch together?"
"No. I have to go back and pack my things at noon."
Emmett frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Will you have a farewell lunch with a boy?"
Emmett thought of Mark immediately.
