Chapter 18: Brawl
Emily did not know about Daniel’s unexpected business trip. It wasn’t until Emma appeared and informed the shareholders that she knew.
Even though she had a high fever last night, this morning she still went to the company early to recheck the documents before bringing them to the large meeting room.
And to make sure the same thing didn’t happen, she sat in here until the board of directors and shareholders appeared.
This extraordinary shareholder meeting mainly revolves around capital sources, business plans, and dividend prices. Some shareholders want to increase the dividend price.
Even though Emily was very tired, she still tried to keep her eyes open and recorded all the opinions and discussions of the leaders.
The fever still torments her even though she has taken medicine. It seemed like every two hours she had a fever, and she was extremely chilled and uncomfortable.
Until lunchtime, the meeting still could not come to an end. At this time, Emily’s whole body was exhausted, sweat was pouring out on her forehead and palms. Her fingers on the keyboard were not precise and had many spelling mistakes.
“Emily, go there and ask Emma to go buy fast food and coffee for everyone.” Kevin turned to her and whispered.
“Yes.”
After finishing speaking, Emily quickly stood up and went to Emma, whispering in her ear.
Kevin also noticed the unusual look on Emily’s face, but he didn’t have a chance to ask because she and Emma quickly left the meeting room. He reassured himself that perhaps she had been sitting for several stressful hours, so she was not used to it and became tired.
“Your face looks so bad, are you okay?” Emma asked worriedly.
“I’m okay.” Emily shook her head.
The two girls quickly crossed the street and bought coffee and hamburgers for more than twenty people in the meeting room.
They need to eat quickly and drink quickly to continue a meeting that can last until the afternoon, so this is the most convenient combo.
Emma is in charge of carrying the hamburgers, and Emily is in charge of carrying the coffee.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
The moment Emily passed the water purifier, she saw Jennifer deliberately putting her foot in her way. She quickly avoided it, but because she was dizzy and didn’t act very quickly, she couldn’t avoid it.
As a result, she tripped and fell on the floor. Cups of iced coffee rolled around, flowing freely.
Emma heard the loud noise, immediately turned around, quickly put down two bags of hamburgers, and ran to help Emily up.
“Oh my god, Emily, are you okay?”
Jennifer smiled with satisfaction then quickly bent down, rubbed her ankle, pretended to be in pain, and criticized Emily for not looking at the road, bumping into her causing her to get scratched.
“Jennifer, stop it, she has fallen like this. Your scratch is nothing serious.” Emma shouted.
“Sister, because she closed her eyes, was thinking about men, and didn’t pay attention to her steps, she bumped into me. You see, she hasn’t said a word of apology yet.”
“When speaking, you should curl your tongue three times, don’t insult others like that.”
“I’m not talking nonsense, she came here to seduce Kevin. In the past, when he was sent to prison, she ran away. Now it’s good, he put her in a trap and kicked her mercilessly, which is why she looks so bewildered.”
Emily’s head hurt so much that she wanted to explode, plus the sticky feeling caused by the coffee water on her body, plus having to let Kevin’s new lover speak up to defend her, plus the combination of wondering how Jennifer knew about what happened between him and her when it happened in his house.
As a result, she completely lost control, broke away from Emma’s hand, and approached Jennifer.
“What are you better than me? In the past, when he hadn’t found his family yet, you treated him like a toad. Look at you, your family has a big company but you don’t do anything, you just carry your skirt and run here just because you want to follow him, right? Just because you’re both ugly and stupid, you can only stand at the front desk and can’t go to the top floor.”
Emily cursed very well, making Jennifer temporarily speechless, her lips moved but she could not say a word.
Next to her, Emma was also motionless when hearing about the tragic past of her brand-new boyfriend.
And not too far away, there were a few more VIP audiences. Kevin did not expect Jennifer and Emily to be here digging into his past personal life. His ugly and tragic life has been heard all about by the shareholders.
“Ah… ah… ah. What did you just say?”
After saying that, Jennifer rushed at Emily. Of course, Emily was also going crazy, wanting to vent all the pent-up frustrations over the past few days, so she didn’t run away and had a fight with the girl who didn’t know what was good and what was bad.
The two girls grabbed each other’s hair, pulled back and forth, then turned, causing Emma to have to run after them to stop them.
“Stop… stop… if there’s anything wrong, say it slowly, Emily, Jennifer…” Emma shouted until she was hoarse.
Kevin and the shareholders also panicked and rushed in to pull the two girls apart.
But the two people were fighting so hard that they refused to let go, causing the whole group to keep spinning. They fell to the right and then to the left, creating a mess that caused the staff who had just come up from the cafeteria to huddle in one place, mouths open and eyes wide open, watching continuously.
It’s okay for employees to fight, but why is the general director also involved, and there are shareholders too?
Kevin didn’t know what he was getting into anymore. Both girls were holding each other’s hair tightly. If he and everyone else pulled them hard to separate them, their heads would probably be bald. He didn’t want Emily to get hurt.
“If both of you don’t stop, I’ll fire you all.” He shouted in helplessness.
Kevin’s threat had an effect. Immediately, the two girls released their hands at the same time.
While Emily’s arms and legs were weak because she was so tired from having a fever and leaned heavily on Emma, Jennifer hugged her chest, looking like she was about to ride a crane to the heavens.
“Jennifer, Jennifer, come on, take a deep breath, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Kevin reassured Jennifer while picking her up and running quickly toward the elevator. A male employee also ran to help him after receiving a signal from him.
Emily’s vision gradually blurred because tears had overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She thought she was able to let go of his image. He chose to help Jennifer, not her. She is also unable to breathe.
Moments before she completely lost consciousness, she felt a warm and steady pair of arms embracing her, a familiar masculine scent lingering around the tip of her nose.
“Emma, come with me quickly.”
Daniel picked up Emily and rushed towards the elevator. Following his footsteps, Emma also ran right behind, her hair was messy, looking like a mother hedgehog.
The elevator kept changing numbers, but for Daniel, it was too slow. Every time the elevator door opened on each floor, Emma signaled the people outside to wait for another turn and then quickly closed it.
As soon as she got down to the main lobby, she took the key from her boss’s pants pocket and quickly drove in front of them.
Daniel carefully put Emily in and then personally drove both girls to the city hospital.
His flight had a technical problem and had to land quickly on the runway two hours after takeoff.
The repair process took a long time but was not completed and in the end, the passengers including him were arranged to board another plane, causing him to lose all morning and not be able to attend the meeting. As soon as he arrived, he drove to the company and saw this scene.
After examining Emily, the doctor informed Daniel that her condition was nothing to worry about, she was just cold due to being in the water for too long, causing her body to continuously have a high fever and exhaustion.
However, she needs time to rest and nourish if she doesn’t want to continue to faint.
“Thank you.” Daniel patted the young doctor on the shoulder and said.
“No need to thank me. But… is she your girlfriend?”
“Are we a good match?” Daniel smiled and asked his friend back.
“You two have a very good husband and wife appearance. Don’t tell me you played cat and mouse with her in the bathtub for so long that…”
“Talk nonsense.”
The young doctor immediately smiled weakly and ran straight after being lightly hit by Daniel. He ran and planned to put money in a piggy bank so that on the day his friend got married, he would bring the piggy bank to give to him.
Ryan has known Daniel for several years, but this was the first time he saw Daniel’s girlfriend.
Because they wanted to keep a quiet space for the patients, Daniel and Emma did not go in and just sat outside. At this time, he asked the assistant why there was such a mess.
“She and I went to buy food and coffee for the bosses. While passing by the water purifier, she fell. Jennifer said Emily bumped into her and then she told the story from many years ago, then said Emily came into the company to seduce Kevin. After that, they fought. Kevin, I, and the shareholders intervened for a while, and then Jennifer held her chest and cried out in pain. Then Kevin took her to the hospital.”
At this time, Emma forgot that she was the current girlfriend of the general director of Unicons Group. When mentioning Kevin, her face showed anger.
Next to her, Daniel was equally angry as her. Emily was passing by the water purifier when she tripped and fell. If it weren’t for Jennifer standing there, he would have thought it was because of her carelessness.
Even an idiot would know what happened at that time, he knows all too well the tricks of evil rich ladies.
“Please go back to the company. The meeting is probably continuing already.” He turned to her and spoke softly.
“Yes.”
Emma nodded and quickly left the hospital. She did not know that the car driving not far in front of her was the car carrying Kevin, also on the way back to the corporation.
Her phone fell while interrupting the fight and until now, she still hasn’t discovered it, so she doesn’t know that he called her more than ten times just to ask about Emily’s condition.
