As Emily said that she wanted to see Henry, the latter quickly came.
He didn’t ask why, nor did he blame her for picking an inappropriate time.
After Emily got in the car, she heard his phone ring countless times.
In the end, Henry switched off the phone and drove her along the highway near the seaside to enjoy
the fresh air.
“Why don’t you ask me the reason why I want to see you?” Emily had calmed down.
The sea breeze was chilly, gradually cooling her temper.
“Why should I bother? I’m so handsome and charming. Isn’t it normal that you miss me?”
Henry glanced at her.
The girl looked depressed. He suddenly said, “Do you want to go to the seaside for a barbecue?”
It wasn’t particularly chilly in early winter, but a little cool.
In such weather, people felt good to have a barbecue at the seaside.
Despite of the jaded palate, Emily nodded.
Henry drove back and quickly stopped at the nearby beach.
There were many barbecue stalls along the seaside. Despite the lack of good environment, it was
quiet. It was a workday. Thus, there were few people at the seaside.
“Are you busy today?” Emily glanced at his pocket.
Ever since he switched off his phone, she didn’t hear any more ringtones. But before that, he got many
calls.
“Today is a working day.” Therefore, there was no need to ask whether he was busy or not.
“Is it very important? Just now, you received a lot of phone calls.”
“They urged me to attend the meeting.”
“Is it a big project?”
“Yes.” Henry didn’t seem to care about it, and he waved to the boss far away.
The boss came over and gave him dozens of bunches of seafood and drinks.
Henry said, “Take these drinks away. We don’t need them. Do you have any warm water? Send me
some.”
“Alright.” The boss immediately went back and soon came over with a thermos kettle.
“Leave it. I’ll let you know if I need anything else.” After sending the boss away, Henry poured Emily a
cup of warm water.
His voice was like the gentle sea wind. “You haven’t fully recovered yet. Don’t drink cold drinks on
these days.”
Emily’s heart skipped a beat. Then she looked at him absent-mindedly.
“What are you thinking? Drink first.” Henry frowned when he noticed that she was just staring blankly at
him. “You are a bit strange today. If you want to say something, just say it.”
“Will you harm me?” she suddenly asked.
Henry did not answer this question immediately.
After looking at her for at least three seconds, he handed the cup to her. “Drink first.”
Emily lowered her head and gulped down half a cup of warm water.
When she turned to look at him again, Henry was concentrating on turning over the seafood on the
grill.
“If I have to answer, then I hope you can feel it with your own heart. It doesn’t matter what I say. What
matters is whether you’ll believe me or not.”
His eyes flashed with sadness, which soon he checked. Henry did not show it in front of her.
However, Emily still noticed it.
Did she hurt him?
If he asked her this question, would she also be hurt?
They had known each other for a few months. How couldn’t she know what kind of person he was?
It was easy to deceive others for a simple day or two. But how about one or two months?
‘I shouldn’t suspect him. Such suspicion will hurt anyone.’
“I’m sorry.” She looked down at the seafood on the grill.
Henry stared at her. Although he didn’t know what she was thinking at this moment, at the very least,
this was a sincere apology.
He smiled faintly, “Since you have apologized, no matter what you thought about before, let it pass. Be
happy.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me why?” Emily raised her head, meeting his burning gaze.
The sun shone on him. The warm sea breeze blew up the short golden bangs on his forehead. What a
nice man!
She exhaled, feeling a little guilty.
“Why do I bother?” There was no need to ask everything.
“Sometimes, fortune favors fools.”
“Are you willing to be a fool?” Emily muttered, “If so, you may ruin the Sharp Group sooner or later.”
“It depends whom I am with.”
“You should switch on the phone.” Emily was still a little uneasy. Because of her willful behavior, he
delayed dealing with many important things.
“What kind of big project is it? Can I know?”
“Nothing. I asked the boss of another company to discuss a project that has been prepared for several
months.”
“Several months!” Emily almost jumped down the stool!
For a group as big as the Sharp Group, the project, which it had spent a few months on, was definitely
something important!
If it were not an emergency, Ashton wouldn’t have kept calling him.
Those calls, needless to say, were definitely from Ashton.
Apart from Ashton, no one dared to call Henry repeatedly.
Ashton wouldn’t dare to do so unless the matter was really important.
“If the talks fail, how much money will … the Sharp Group lose?”
Henry smiled. “Do you really want to know?”
“Yes!” Emily became more nervous because of his response.
However, he was still calm. “Let’s eat first.”
“No! Tell me first!” Emily became more and more uneasy.
“Not much. Probably … only several billion …”
She coughed and almost choked to death.
Having suddenly stood up, Emily grabbed his big hand and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go! It’s not too late to
go back now. Hurry up!”
“But the seafood has not done yet …”
“Forget it. Business first! Hurry up. We can eat later after dealing with the business!”
‘Several billion! Heavens! What an unforgivable thing I have done!’
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat anymore?” Henry, on the contrary, still hung about, not looking
anxious at all.
“Yes, I’m sure! Hurry up! Don’t do this! I’m worried to death!”
Emily pulled him hard, wanting to drag him from the seat. However, he was too tall. Emily didn’t have
enough strength to move him.
Henry smiled again. Finally, he took out his wallet and put down a few bills before standing up.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the girl was holding the man’s big palm, in an anxious attempt to
rush to the parking lot.
From beginning to end, with smiles, the man was pulled along leisurely.
He stared at her gently.
... When they arrived at the lobby of the main building of the Sharp Group, the president of the other
company happened to come out.
A group of people followed behind him carefully.
The president was so furious that the people behind him were too scared to speak.
Having chased up him, Ashton apologized while secretly wiping his sweat. “Sorry, Mr. Lopez, it’s all my
fault. I didn’t tell Mr. Sharp the specific time. Shall we make an appointment again? Mr. Lopez …”
“Do you think you can waste my time since your president’s time is precious?”
Mr. Lopez was so angry that he really wanted to kick Ashton. Then he snorted coldly, “Your president
failed to show up by the agreement. In the future, there will be no chance for us to cooperate again!”
“Mr. Lopez, Mr. Lopez ...” Anxiety brought Ashton out in a cold sweat.
“Mr. Lopez.” A slender figure walked out from the glass revolving door of the lobby.
As he was holding a girl’s hand, his beautiful thin lips curved in a smile as gentle as spring breeze.
“My … little girlfriend doesn’t feel well today, so I took her to the hospital. I’m sorry for being
late!”
