Chapter 60: It’s Right That I Don’t Understand
Even a stupid girl could see it.
“What do you want to eat?” Emmett asked softly.
“Oh? What to eat? I can eat anything; I’m never picky about eating!” Elaine laughed.
She was already thankful if bad-bear Smith was no longer angry, would she dare to be picky about eating? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Instead, Emmett said, “You can be not picky about food, but you can’t do the same about people.”
The little girl was a bit confused and didn’t quite understand. Couldn’t do the same to people? To people, she had to be picky about food? What does he mean? Elaine tilted her head and pouted. Bad- bear Smith, this guy, spoke really profoundly.
Emmett glanced at her and said, “Do you understand?”
“I don’t understand.” Elaine answered, honestly. She was afraid Emmett would be angry, and immediately smiled and make up for it, “This shows that President Smith is highly educated. After all, you have experienced so much more. And you are older than me by more than 10 years; of course, I can’t understand what you’re saying. It’s right that I don’t understand.”
Eh? Why was someone’s face becoming uglier as she spoke? Damn it, it’s completely black. What, what happened? What happened to him? She was complimenting him for his knowledge and experience, why, was it wrong to praise him? Unfathomable! Bad-bear Smith, this thing, was really unfathomable!
“I’m older than you by more than 10 years?” Emmett finally exclaimed.
“Uh, uh, isn’t it? It’s not more than 10 years?” Elaine blinked her eyes and looked ignorant. Yet, she was suddenly relieved and smiled to please President Smith, “but you look very young, you don’t look old. Really! I don’t lie!”
Emmett was so angry that he drove the car into the ditch. She had actually said that he was a dozen years older than her! Was he that old? Whoosh! Because he was too angry, Emmett straightaway tore off the silk scarf specially designed for him by a world-renowned designer and threw it to the back. He was so pissed off!
The action of throwing the silk scarf made Elaine deeply disturbed. Why was he so fierce, it was so scary! Elaine shrunk her neck, and asked unceasingly, “Then… President Smith, when were you born?”
Screech!!! Emmett stepped on the brakes hard, and this time, he stepped on the brakes while he was driving fast, and almost forced Elaine out.
Oh my God, oh my God, she definitely had to buy insurance when sitting in bad-bear Smith’s car. It has to be high-premium insurance! Oh, it’s terrifying. Her little heart~ she had to comfort it.
“Why did you stop? Even if you want to stop, you don’t have to jam braked? Can’t you slow down and stop? It’s scary.” Elaine was displeased and complained.
The car behind had almost hit his vehicle and began to honk the horn unhappily because Emmett had stopped in the middle of the road. The traffic was immediately jammed, and many cars were honking at him. Emmett had also ignored them.
He turned his face, and stared at Elaine ferociously, and said darkly, “Elaine…”
“Huh? What?” Elaine braced her heart, swallowed, and looked at the handsome man foolishly. There seemed to be a black cloud floating above this man’s head.
“Elaine, I seem to have told you before, how many years older I am? Did you forget this too?”
“Really?” Elaine looked at the roof of the car and began to recall slowly.
Emmett squinted, looking at her heartless look, aggravated.
“I forgot… I really can’t remember… President Smith, why don’t you tell me again?”
Emmett was so angry that his face became darker, and he bit the words, “I am only eight years older than you! You remember it clearly! Only eight years older!!!”
“Oh, oh, I’ll remember it this time; I promise I will definitely remember! Firmly remembered it!” Elaine raised her right hand and swore. But she was thinking in her head, “Eight years older than it, why does this guy have to emphasize the word ‘only’? What ‘only eight years older’… Eight years is also a considerable gap, okay? How can you use the word ‘only’?”
Of course, Elaine’s head was sober at this time, and wouldn’t say these things when the all-mighty President Smith was in a bad mood.
No matter how angry Emmett was, he wouldn’t punish Elaine by skipping breakfast. When he started the car again, he had already decided on a place to eat. Emmett parked the car in front of a luxurious restaurant, and Elaine had obediently got off the car. That girl was observing the façade of the restaurant with her head facing up.
“Hey, President Smith, have you made a mistake? Is this a place to eat?” Elaine followed Emmett and stuck out a pink tongue.
“If it’s not a place to eat, then is it a place to take a bath?” Emmett pulled a long face and held Elaine’s small hand and went inside.
“Welcome, Mr. Smith!” The manager led a group of beautiful waitresses, standing on both sides of the door, and solemnly saluted Emmett.
Elaine stuck out her tongue again in shock. Woah, was it necessary to have so many women greet them?
“Hm.” Emmett grunted and walked directly in. Of course, he didn’t forget to hold the little girl’s hand. Would Elaine ever live honestly?
Her head was like a detector, turning left and right as if entering a museum and had to take a look everywhere.
“Have you seen enough?” Emmett laughed. Why does he feel like he was bringing his daughter to the amusement park? It was weird! Emmett pressed Elaine onto a sofa and sat opposite.
“What do you feel like eating? You can order anything.” Emmett signaled the waiter to give Elaine the menu.
Elaine curled her lips, covered half her face with the menu, and whispered to Emmett, “Boss, why is there no one here? Why was it just the two of us? Is the food here too lousy?”
Emmett coughed, wanted to laugh, and held back. Because this place has been reserved by me! Even if I don’t book the venue, as long as he was here, would the owner dare to allow others in and disturb him? Of course, Emmett didn’t plan to tell the little girl about this, so as not to scare her.
“Yeah, the business here is not very good, so you can order more and help them generate more income.”
Oh, so it was like this! The restaurant owner was so pitiful. There wasn’t many guest eating, but had to feed so many beautiful waitresses, how much does he have to lose! Elaine immediately sympathized
with the owner and ordered a bunch of food.
Soon, all the food came up. That efficiency… It made Elaine feel that these people were dedicated to serving them. In reality, they were meant to serve both of them only.
“Forget about what happened last night together with the food, eat more.” Emmett said. He was really afraid that the girl was still frightened by what happened last night, and had nightmares.
Elaine bared her teeth and grinned, “Don’t worry, I have forgotten all already. I’m so tired from working that I don’t have the mood to think about other things.”
It was tiring to work with Emmett and was a little too bored. But at the nightclub… It was different, it was exhausting.
Emmett was displeased, frowned, and asked, “Are you exhausted in the office? Did someone order you to work? Or, did someone bully you, and asked you to do their job?” Emmett was much sharped.
“What?” Elaine had a mouthful of food when she was asked, and she was stunned. “Who asked me to do their work? There’s no one.”
The breakfast here was really delicious, hot, and so detailed. Also, each of the small snacks seemed to be freshly made, it was absolutely delicious.
“It’s good there’s no one. If there is, tell me.”
“Oh, got it.”
“Then why are you tired if no one gave you dirty jobs? Just those workloads in the office make you tired?”
Oops. Elaine was almost choked to death by the rice in her throat. She almost slipped it out... This pig brain of hers! She had to remember, from now on, to be cautious when she spoke in front of the computer-like mind of bad-bear Smith.
“It’s like this…” Elaine blinked her big eyes, and quickly thought of a reason, “Well…Oh, it’s like this. I haven’t been to work before, and suddenly have to go to the office, I’ve not adapted to it, so it feels even more tiring than going to class. That’s it.”
Lying like this, she was able to deceive him, right? Elaine didn’t dare to look up due to guilt, and as if she was starving, she buried her head and chewed on the food.
“Oh… It’s like this…” Emmett believed the little girl’s word, thought about it, and said, “Then I will further reduce your workload. If you can’t finish it, then pass it to Sophia.”
She almost spat her meal out. Oh God, she had enough free time now, and if she was to pass it to Sophia, she wouldn’t know what her existence in the company was for.
Emmett felt that the scene of having breakfast with this girl… was very comforting. He could slowly eat and appreciate the girl's greedy looks while she ate, and it felt as if he possessed a lot of warmth.
Yes, this girl was like a mini atomic bomb, she was very energetic. It could bring him unprecedented heat, and could also easily blow his wits away.
