Chapter 65

“Mr. Brown?” Emily blinked, trying to make her head clearer. “What brings you here?”

“I heard that you asked for leave. As a boss, I care about my subordinate, can’t I?” Julian stood there.

He seemed to know Emily was peeping through the peephole and suddenly leaned towards it.

Emily was startled by the sudden enlargement of his face and took two steps back.

“You!”

“Emily, are you going to let me stand at the door and talk to you without opening the door?”

“Mr. Brown, I… I’m sick and I’m alone at home. It’s inconvenient for you to come in.” Emily didn’t want to open the door or say anything more to Julian.

Emily thought, ‘I have finished what I should have said long ago. Anyway, nothing good would happen if Julian came here. Fortunately, Mom went out for groceries and wasn’t there. Otherwise… Mom!

Speak of the devil!’ As soon as Emily thought of this, she heard a voice from outside, “Who are you?”

“Hello, I’m Emily’s boss. My name is Julian Brown and I am the CEO of Prosperian Company,” said Julian..

“Oh, so you are Emily’s boss!” Emily’s mother, Annie Wilson, immediately said enthusiastically. “Why are you standing here? Emily is at home! Alas! She must have been sleeping like a log and didn’t Let me open the door!”

hear At this moment, Annie had to open the door. Emily hurriedly tiptoed back to her room. and closed the room door.

“Sir, please take a seat. Just make yourself comfortable!” Annie greeted Julian warmly, put down the groceries in her hand, and went to call her daughter again. “Emily, Emily, your boss is here!”

There was no reply. Annie turned around and smiled at Julian awkwardly, “Have a seat, please. Emily is a heavy sleeper. I’ll call her again!”

“Really? I thought I heard her just now,” Julian sat down on the sofa and said with a smile.

Emily knew it was useless to hide any longer, so she had to get changed and open the door. “Mom.”

“Emily, your boss is here.” Annie winked at Emily and went to make coffee.

לם FOD “Mr. Brown.” Reluctantly, Emily walked over and stood there with no intention of sitting down.

Julian crossed his legs, looked up at her, and smiled, “Emily, have you been in poor health recently?”

Hearing this, Annie, who brought the pastries and fruit over, hurriedly said, “No. Emily is in good health.”

“Really? But Emily has been on sick leave a lot lately, and I think something’s wrong with her. That’s why I came to check on her.” Julian pretended to be surprised as if he were surprised by the answer.

“She often asked for sick leave?” Annie was also surprised and turned to look at Emily. “What’s wrong with you? Are you unwell?”

“Mom, I’m fine, Emily frowned and whispered.

Annie didn’t understand these things at work, and Emily didn’t want to bother her mother. So every time Emily asked for sick leave, she would go out to collect materials or find a place to rest for half a day.

Anyway, she had enough money now, so she didn’t mind wasting time with Julian like this.

Emily felt that with their limited patience, she would be fired in a month or so and free.

She didn’t anticipate that Julian would come to her.

“Fine?” Annie raised her hand and patted Emily. “You’ve been acting strange lately, and the company is always on holiday. It turns out that you are lazy! You slack off at work. What else do you want to do?”

As Annie spoke, she patted Emily a few times.

Emily didn’t dodge. She just said helplessly, “Mom, don’t worry about me. I’ll let you go.

“I don’t want to worry about you, but you have to work hard! Now your boss has come to our house. Tell me, can you make a difference?”

“Mom…” Emily was helpless.

Julian was leisurely watching the fun. He cleared his throat and stopped Annie after Emily was beaten a few times. “Madam, I think Emily has her own reasons. Don’t blame her. I’m not here to blame Emily, but just care about whether she is not feeling well or she has any difficulties.”

“Mr. Brown, can we have a word outside?” Looking at him, Emily was hopping mad.

She really underestimated Julian. He was even meaner than she thought! Julian found her home and used Annie to pressure her.

Anyway, Julian had achieved his goal. He spread out his hands and said, “Okay! Anything!”

Annie had already made coffee. Hearing this, she hurriedly put down the cup and said, “Sir, Emily is a little spoiled by me and sometimes very willful. But she’s still a good girl. If she has been slacking off lately, you can scold her, but she still needs this job!”

“Mom, stop it!” Emily really wanted to rub her forehead. Annie screwed things up.

Glaring at Emily, Annie only felt that her daughter didn’t understand her good intentions.

“Don’t worry. Emily needs this job, and our company also needs Emily,” Julian stood and said with a smile.

“That’s good. That’s good!” Nodding repeatedly, Annie added, “Emily, hurry up and thank your boss.”

Annie wanted to address Julian respectfully, but she couldn’t recall Julian’s last name.

“Mr. Brown, let’s go out and talk!” Emily couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mom, I’ll be right back.”

up “Okay. Be polite to your boss!” Annie walked to Emily and whispered, with her back to Julian.

Emily and Julian went to the cafe downstairs. Although Julian ordered two cups of coffee, Emily didn’t feel like drinking the coffee at all.

“Mr. Brown, what do you mean? Why did you come to my house?” Emily sounded. unfriendly, and she wasn’t as indifferent as before.

Julian smiled and took a sip of coffee leisurely. “I just care about my subordinate!”

“Well, let’s stop beating around the bush. Mr. Brown, I know what you want, but I’m sorry. I really have no idea about Seraphina’s formula. You know, every perfumer has her own secret recipe. It’s impossible to share it with others, and I’m just her assistant. I still work for Prosperian Company. What makes you think she will believe me?” Julian didn’t interrupt her but looked at her calmly with a smile.

After she finished speaking, Julian nodded and said, “You’re right. But I didn’t come here to ask for the formula. Do you really think Prosperian Company can’t run properly without Seraphina? Do you think if she plays a small trick, we won’t be able to deal with her? You overestimate her!”

07 E2 Thu, 1 Feb H O Π Emily really thought Julian was here for what happened before. She hadn’t been to the lab these days, and she didn’t know how things were going. She just wanted them to screw things up. But Julian looked so calm now… Was the problem solved?
