Ch. 191..195: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 191-195
Chapter 191: Only the Weak Would CryingThere were ten teams in total, and Emily felt stressed as soon as she entered the stadium.
Professional!
Seeing the players around, the word came into her mind suddenly.
They did not come alone. Some editor-in-chiefs came with an assistant, and some even had two assistants.
In the team competition, it was not said that only one person could participate.
In the entire arena, Wendy was the only team she was alone.
Obviously, there was no advantage at all.
The stadium was prepared temporarily, and the participating players sat in the basketball court.
Not far away was the judge seat.
As for the surrounding auditorium, Emily didn't expect that there were many people sitting there.
Many students came here admiringly, wanting to see how such a live game would go on.
There was a big screen behind the contestants, which was connected to their computer screens. This was to make every
word they wrote would appear in front of everyone in real time.
After the staff introduced this special project, the contestants started to talk immediately.
Writing a plot script was equivalent to creating a story. None tried to create in front of so many onlookers.
Some people with poor psychological endure could write at all.
"The ability to withstand stress is also part of our assessment."
The staff seemed to have expected this kind of reaction a long time ago, and explained with a smile, "This is a request from
the Sharp Group. I hope everyone can understand."
Since it was the Sharp Group's request, no matter whether the player could understand it or not, they had to accept it.
Furthermore, the game was fair and everyone was the same. What if they didn't accept it?
The judges came in one by one.
As the representative of the Jackson Group, when Wendy was introduced into the arena, there was an immediate
commotion in the audience.
Especially for those who were majoring in animation. When they knew that even the Jackson Group intended to do this
business, almost all of them were excited.
However, the host of this game was not the Jackson Group, but the Sharp Group.
Therefore, when the person from the Sharp Group entered the arena, a greater commotion broke out immediately.
"Is this the person in charge of the Sharp Group? Oh my god, how can he be so handsome"
"Isn't he Mr. Henry in the Sharp family? He even comes here personally!"
"Mr. Henry is really handsome! I feel like I'm going to fall in love!"
Someone was excited, "He is so handsome. His figure is perfect."
"I really like his two long legs. They are too sexy!"
Emily was sitting in the competition area, and even the girls next to her saw the Sharp Group's representative and couldn't
help taking a breath.
Just like when she first saw him, she was shocked.
Yes, he was handsome, perfect, sexy, and crazy.
But why was it him?
Henry Sharp!
He was from the Sharp family. His surname was Sharp... He was the young master of the Sharp family!
Emily should have known it a long time ago. How could Mr. Hunter's friend be a normal man?
His surname was Sharp, and his status was not low. Was it obvious that he was the young master of the Sharp family?
She didn't know until now! She was really afterthought!
After a moment of shock, Emily withdrew her gaze back and looked at her computer screen.
No distracted, no thinking, feel at ease, calm!
Although, there were countless questions in her heart.
Why did still contact her after he know that she was coming to participate in the competition?
Why did he not tell her who he was and approach her deliberately?
Why? Why did he appear in this way again!
Emily looked up but met an indifferent gaze.
Henry sat in the middle of the judge seat and cast his eyes on the competition
area, which happened to collide with hers.
It seemed to be looking at her all the time, but it seemed to be just inadvertently.
After that, he glanced away and never looked at her again.
Emily closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
No matter what his purpose was, Emily had to remember what she said today.
They could enter the finals because of their own strength.
So today, no matter who was the judge, it would make no difference to her.
It was almost the time, and the host took the microphone and announced the official start of the game.
After that, it was the assistant from the Sharp Group who announced the
of the assessment on the spot:
Provocation.
When this word appeared on the big screen, there was an uproar in the
competition area, including the auditorium.
Provocation, what kind of title was this?
They had never tried such an assessment. When the word first came out, the
players were still stunned for a while.
However, everyone adjusted their mentality quickly.
Professionalism was presented here again.
The editor-in-chief and assistants were discussing in a low voice. They were discussing while writing scripts.
The big screen was behind them. No one could see what other people were
writing.
However, the judges, including the audience, could see clearly.
Most teams wrote while thinking. What they write was deleted quickly and
rewritten.
Only Emily was facing the computer alone, not knowing whether she was in a
daze or thinking. Anyway, there was no word
on her computer screen.
Sally and Lois sitting in the audience were both anxious.
This game was not only about quality, but also about speed.
Quality accounted for a high percentage of scores, but speed also accounted for a
certain percentage.
Whoever finished writing first, at least had an advantage in time.
As for the quality, no one knew the strengths of others, but to their audiences,
they seem to be similar.
In the most girls' comics, it was always the support actress provoked the heroine,
and the heroine beat her.
Besides that, it was the heroine provoked the hero, and the hero had sex with her
finally.
In a word, there must be a beginning, a process, and an end.
It was not easy to write a story in one chapter.
"What's the matter with Emily? Someone has already written about a third, why
hasn't she started yet?"
Lois looked at the shots switched on the big screen, and basically everyone
started typing on the keyboard.
Some had even written one-third or one-half of the script.
However, Emily screen was still blank.
Henry's eyes were also locked on Emily's face.
She stared at the screen, her eyes condensed, she should be thinking.
However, others had already started to write scripts, and she hadn't done it yet. In
terms of time, she was indeed a bit
behind.
Could it be that his appearance scared her?
Sally pulled Lois, who was about to stand up and call in a hurry, and whispered,noveldrama
"Don't panic, even if Emily couldn't be fastest, she won't be the slowest."
She believed in Emily. She trusted her unconditionally.
After all, Lois hadn't been in contact with Emily for along time, and she still looked
worried.
Finally, Emily's slender fingers landed on the keyboard and started typing-
Scene 1: Rainy night. It rained heavily, a girl was hugging her leg, crying under
the tree.
The man was wearing leather shoes and stepping in the rain.
The rain on the girl's head disappeared, and she looked up in surprise.
The man held an umbrella, looked down at the girl, and said indifferently, "Only
the weak would cry."
He stretched out his hand, and the girl stretched out her hand.
They held their hands together...
Chapter 192: Provocation with Life
It was a story of a girl being encouraged by a man and being with the man.
In the next script, there was a short section of the two people getting along sweetly.
Later, someone came to the girl and said that she was the little lady who was lost by a big family.
The girl went back, and the man was the master of the family.
The man's mother threw a stack of photos on the table, saying that the girl hooked men. Her behavior was disorder, and
she was not worthy of inheriting her grandfather's inheritance.
The girl was abandoned by everyone in the family, and her grandfather was very disappointed with the girl.
At night, the girl found the man and told him that no matter what her identity was, she would always like him. However, the
man was not moved.
The girl told him that even if she died, she would never forget him.
The girl left, and the man felt that something was wrong. When he found the girl, the girl had sunk under the bathtub.
The man rescued the girl hurriedly, untied her clothes and gave her a heart resuscitation. At this moment, the girl called for
help.
Everyone broke in and saw the man tearing apart the girl's clothes with bad intentions.
The man was driven out of the house by his grandfather, and the girl inherited most of the estate.
On the same rainy night, the man stood smoking under the tree, and the girl appeared holding an umbrella.
The girl said that only the weak would rely on conspiracy in exchange for everything they wanted.
She said, "we both are weak."
...As the story was written, everyone felt depressed.
In fact, the man had fallen in love with the girl unknowingly. Otherwise, he would not be fooled and fall into the trap of her.
The story should end here.
When everyone was sighing, they saw Emily's slender fingers tapping on the keyboard again.
A car drove quickly, and the man looked at the car behind the girl with a gloomy expression.
Just when the car was about to hit the girl, the man rushed over and rescued her.
The rain fell on the man's head and wet his short hair. He smiled bitterly, "I lost completely."
The girl stroked his face, smiled and said, "Yes, you lost."
The man let go of the girl and turned to leave.
Behind him, a sharp brake sounded, and the man turned his head and saw that
the girl's body was like a leaf in the wind,
covered with blood.
The rain stopped, the wind blew, and the leaves were flying.
With text: There would be no winner or loser in this game.
And the only thing I could do was to provoke you with my life when you loved me the most.
...No one thought that one day, they would wait for every word that appeared on the screen because they were looking
forward to the ending of a story.
No one thought that in such a live game, they would be sad, heartache, and suffocated because of an article written
temporarily!
In this game, no one would win, because they were brother and sister, and because they were all in love.
From the very beginning, they were destined to lose.
The last conspiracy might be the only opportunity for the man to win, but he missed it actively.
He saved the girl, he lost everything.
But the girl also got what she wanted most at that moment.
His love, repressed love, was destined to be impossible to perfect love.
Thus, her life was complete.
She fulfilled him, but also provoked him.
It was he who gave her all the world, but it was also him who ruined everything about her.
From the moment she fell in love with her brother, she had lost her life and lived like a walking dead.
She didn't want to live long ago...
A girl couldn't help crying.
No one spoke, just watched quietly as Emily clicked the end button and left her seat with her keyboard.
She was originally the one who was the most backward. However, it was only
about twenty minutes from the beginning of
her hand on the keyboard to the end of the story.
Now, she was the first one to finish writing!
Before everyone had time to clean up their depressed mood, they were shocked
by her speed again.
It turned out that she didn't write at the beginning because she was thinking about
the story directly.
After thinking about the story, it was done in one go without any pause in the middle.
After a moment of stunned, the host immediately picked up the microphone and
said, "The first contestant has finished
the assessment. Come on."
The rest teams became anxious suddenly.
Time was also a key point in the number of ratings.
The first place was to add points, and then, to the sixth place, it was to deduct
points.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue began to become serious again.
But Emily no longer paid any attention, and left the venue without looking back.
She didn't even look at him...
Henry turned his head, staring at the direction she was leaving, pursing his thin
lips.
Assistant Vince said immediately, "Mr. Henry, this team seems to be in the Class 1
of the design major of Bentson
University in 2018. It is called...the September Drawing Club."
"Yeah." Henry nodded and looked back.
Sitting next to him was the representative of the Jackson Group, Wendy.
Wendy faced Henry with her perfect profile face, and smiled at him, "This script is
written in detail. But it seems too
complicated, isn't?"
Henry didn't speak. Wendy said again, "From the script to the final draft. It needs wonderful draws, marking and coloring."
"The script is too complicated, and the painter will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties when drawing. She is good at
writing the story, but she did not take into account the situation of other
teammates in the team."
The female assistant next to Wendy said immediately, "To put it bluntly, it is a personal heroism, only to show her own
talents, regardless of the difficulties of her teammates."
Because the script was really a bit complicated, everyone wrote just one or two
fragments, and Emily wrote a complete
story.
One chapter could have up to fifty or sixty frames. Looking at her story, if the comprehension ability of the main painter was
not good, the story could only be finished in the sixty frames.
Others just wrote a short story of one or two fragments, and could be drawn in
about 30 frames.
With this calculation, when the main painter drew in the afternoon, they had already lost on the starting line just in time.
If the drawing couldn't be finished within the stipulated time, then the final draft
would not be finished.
At most, it could only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
Comparing a semi-finished product with someone else's finished product, how
could it win?
Emily could be regarded as selfish. Now it seemed to be wonderful. By the afternoon, their main painter would be
desperate.
"I don't think so." Vince smiled and said, "I heard that this team has a powerful
painter. He is the main painter."
"Drawing sixty frames in three hours is almost equivalent to two chapters in other people's cartoons. It is still such a
complicated picture, even if he is skillful, it may not be possible to draw it."
"Amara, don't guess what hasn't happened yet,' Wendy said calmly.
"Yes, Miss Wendy." Amara sat up straight and said no more.
Wendy thought Henry would take the initiative to greet her. No men could refuse a beautiful, generous and elegant girl.
However, Henry only looked at the watch frequently and seemed a little impatient.
Was he impatient with such a beauty sitting next to him?
Finally, Wendy couldn't help taking the initiative to say, "Hello, I am..."
"The result is yours." Henry stood up suddenly, said to Vince. Then he turned around and left.
He actually left!
Wendy was dumbfounded, as if she was the one who was left behind!
Such a beautiful girl sitting next to him, he didn't even look at it. He didn't even
mean to get acquainted.
Was the young master in the Sharp family blind?noveldrama
Chapter 193: My Approach to You Bears Some Purpose
As soon as Emily returned to the classroom for a rest, Sally immediately walked over and pulled her to a corner.
Sally's expression showed her endless admiration towards Emily.
"Emi, it's awesome! You're so great, and your story is very tearful, aww..."
"Yeah, I used to think that I'm a hardhearted person, but I feel that my heart is afflictive after reading it."
Lois pouted, as if she hadn't recovered from the tragic story.
"You must have no idea about it. At least five to six girls around me cried out. Luckily, I'm not a person who easily sheds
tears; otherwise, I would cry at the scene too."
"But Emi, your script is very sophisticated. I can make a rough estimation that it's
a difficult piece, which is several times
more difficult than others'."
Joe, Rufus, Terry, Aryan also came to watch the competition.
They had seen the whole script created by Emily just now.
Joe even took a picture and studied it carefully with Aryan.
Emily looked into Aryan's eyes, "Do you have confidence in it."
"I'm afraid that I may not be the fastest one." They could barely finish the pictures for the script within three hours. But he
had no idea of his actual speed; it could only be told when they began to draw them.
Rufus was a bit worried, "This script is really awesome. And Emily must have won many extra points in the morning, but..."
"Are you afraid that you can't refine the lines in time?" Sally pondered for a moment and became unsure about it.
"Yeah, Emi, have you ever thought about it: Your storyline is very complicated, I'm afraid that we have to draw 60 frames to
represent it."
"60 frames... If there's no enough time, Aryan can simplified the drafts, but in that case, I'm afraid that it would be more
difficult for Rufus to refine the lines."
What I'm afraid the most is that even if Aryan can give full play of his abilities and finish the drafts in time, I can't refine
them within three hours."
After two weeks of practice, Rufus had great confidence in his ability to refine the lines.
But great confidence was not equal to blind faith. After all, it was unprecedentedly difficult this time.
Refine the lines of 60 frames within three hours... Oh God, don't torture him in this way!
"What should we do now? The more I ponder about it, the less confidence I have in myself." Rufus became anxious.
He didn't think of it just now. But now, when he thought over it, he finally realized that his workload would be very heavy.
"Emi, I really can't." Rufus was so anxious that his expression changed at the moment.
Emily stared at him and chuckled, "A man cannot say that he can't. Other people would laugh at you if you say this."
"Emi, you still have the mood to joke at him?" Sally had also become anxious.
She shared the same difficulty with Rufus. To color 60 frames within three hours... She couldn't finish it.
She said anxiously, "You know about my ability. With a premise that I concentrate to it to the point that I even forget to have
meals or drink water, I can color frames for one and half episode at most."
"Nonsense! Will you be so devoted yourself to your work that you even forget to have meals or drink water?" Emily raised
her eyes heavenward. "If my memory is correct, you would work for half an hour, and play with your mobile phone for half an hour alternatively, right?"
"I..." Sally blushed as she hadn't expected that Emily would bring up the past at this moment.
She muttered, "Hey, it's nothing. Isn't it normal to play with your phone if you're tired after working for a long time and
decide to have a rest? Alternating work with rest produces efficiency, right?"
"I'm afraid that you have no time to have a rest this time." Emily said it seriously.
"I'll see. Three hours... Oh my, I'll try my best, but..."
Sally put on a long face and looked defeated, "Even if I'll try my best, it's impossible for me to color 60 frames within the
time limit."
"What about 30 frames?"
"It's somehow hopeful if I do it desperately."
If she didn't play with her mobile phone and concentrate on the coloring, and if
she could finish it at one stretch... Maybe...
Probably... She could finish it in time.
Nevertheless, to work intensely for three consecutive hours, she had no idea
about whether if her physical condition would
allow her to do so.
"The key is that in your script, the scene changes so quickly, so the basic frames
cannot be applied indiscriminately. It's
almost impossible for me and Rufus to finish this task.
In other participants' scripts, there were basically one or two scenes for each
script, so some frames could be applied
repeatedly.
They would have the same coloring and were used in the same scene, so they didn't need to ponder about the background.
But Emily's script was about a complete story in which there were many scenes, which was very excruciating.
"By the way, Can I only color 30 frames?"
"Joe can help you. There's no rule about only one person can engage in the
coloring."
"Oh my, why hadn't I thought of this before?" Lois almost gave herself a slap.
"I haven't had a thorough grasp of the rules. I only realized that even the creation
of the script could be a team work when I
saw those participants on the stage.
She was so regretful and sorry when seeing Emily standing on the stage by her
own.
Nevertheless, as for the creation of the script, the involvement of too many people would sometimes cause troubles.
But as for the refining of lines and coloring, the more people got involved, the
better.
"Will Sally be with me during the competition?" Rufus was cheered up as he finally
saw a glimmer of hope.
"No, you have to work alone."
Considering Sally's physical condition, if she took part in the competition in the morning, then she would not be able to
compete in the afternoon. She would fall back onto the stage because of the physical exhaustion.
Rufus immediately put on a long face and almost fell onto the ground.
Emily looked at Aryan and Aryan nodded, "I see. I will help him to finish the refining of lines as possible."
"How could it be possible? It would be awesome if you can finish the drafts." Sally
glared at Emily, "Emi, are you going to
deprive his life?"
"This is the only way I can think of. Do you have any other ideas?" Emily threw up
her hands.
They all become mute. It seemed that this was really the only way out.
Right at this moment, Emily's phone rang.
She took out a phone and saw a strange caller ID.
Originally, she intended to end up the call, but she suddenly that she was a bit
familiar with this caller ID.
So in the end, she answered the call, "Hello."
A man's low voice rumbled from the other end of the phone, “You owe me two
hours."
"What do you mean by creating this story? Are you implying that I have
approached you with some purposes?"
Henry, who was in a private room, waved his hand to gesture the waiters who had
just served the dishes to the table to go
out.
He seemed to be in a bad mood and even the smile that was always on his face
disappeared.
"Young Master Henry, you've thought too much about it." Emily replied
insouciantly.
She casually searched the name 'Henry' on the Internet on the way to meet
Henry.
Henry Sharp, the second young master of the Sharp family...
Heh... It was so easy to get this information, but she hadn't searched it until today.
She felt that she herself was so silly. But at the second thought, she felt it
reasonable.
Was it necessary to search the information of an unimportant person?
Her indifference made Henry feel uncomfortable as an inexplicable emotion crept
in his heart, and he just wanted to vent it
out.
Nevertheless, he had no idea about what it was.
Maybe it was because he was really in a bad mood today. Therefore, after reading
the story and seeing her leave, he also
felt it unbearable to stay in the completion venue and left immediately.
"I haven't planned to make use of you."
In the end, with a feeling of tightness in his chest, Henry picked up the glass andnoveldrama
gulped down the wine.
"But I have to admit that my approach bears some purposes."
Chapter 194: I'm Yours Now
Emily was not that silly to ask him directly about his purposes. If he wanted to tell him, then he would naturally say it out one day.
If he didn't plan to tell her about it, then judging from his personality, it would be useless to ask the question.
Emily picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy the dishes with ease.
Two hours was just a short period of time, so she could endure it.
Anyway, there was still time left for her to go to the competition venue to watch Aryan's match in the afternoon.
Although she showed great confidence in Aryan when they were discussing it, this time, she was actually not that sure about whether Aryan could finish drawing the drafts and spare some time to help Rufus refine the lines.
If he couldn't, then it would be very hard for Rufus to complete the task.
After all, it was really difficult...
Her absent-mindedness made Henry feel sulkier.
He banged the empty glass onto the table.
Emily asked before he could say anything, "Why are you torturing yourself since having meal with me would anger you so much?"
He took the initiative to call her to pay back the 'two hours'.
So she came to meet him and have lunch with him, but then what was he mad at?
Henry was choked and speechless. Self-torture! Oh my, the words perfectly described what was happening now.
"You owed me!" He said in a cold voice.
"I know." Emily didn't plan to retort him. If it was not because of that, why had she come?
But henry was still dissatisfied. This woman's reaction was really annoying!
"Aren't you angry after knowing that I'm the son of the Sharp family?" She should
at least be mad at it! Then he would have a company.
Nevertheless, he had no idea about what he was angry at.
"If I get mad at it, will you be happier?" Emily suddenly raised her head to loop up at him.
The question completely stunned Henry.
How could it be that other's mood could influence his own mood?
But he couldn't tell how he felt today. It was somehow ridiculous.
"You wrote the script to satirize me." He firmly believed in this.
Emily rubbed the ends of her eyebrows. Were these big bosses so boring recently? Oh my, they were so childish! And Henry was the most childish one!
"I didn't." She looked into his eyes with a serious expression, “I just felt that this story could stand out among the ten entries and become one of the 8 selected ones."
"I can eliminate your entry." He was the chief judge, right?
"Oh, it turns out that the second young master of the Sharp family, Mr. Henry, is a person who cannot make a clear distinction between public and private affairs." Emily threw up her hands as if she was not bothered at all.
"Let me mind you, the competition is a live-streaming one. Even if you didn't take
a fancy in my story, some people would like it."
The worst situation was that she couldn't join top-class companies like the Sharp Group or the Jackson Group. But as a matter of fact, she hadn't had the expectation of being employed by such a company at the very beginning.
Nevertheless, she was clear that after this competition, the chance for her team to seek cooperation with other companies would be increased.
"Oh, so this is your backbone?" Henry narrowed his eyes.
"No. I'm a person with least backbone. If you tell me that the Sharp Group has selected my team, I would jump with joy."
She was telling the truth since she had never hided her ambition.
"Nevertheless, even if the Sharp Group selects other team in the end, I can still accept the result. It's so simple."
Henry fixated his gaze on her delicate face. Although he knew that she was telling
her inner thought, why did he have a feeling that she was satirizing him?
Yeah, it must be sarcasm!
This girl had been satirizing him from the very beginning!
Emily felt a bit helpless, for she could almost guessed what was in his mind.
He really wanted to tell him that she was not satirizing him deliberately, sincerely.
She was very serious in the completion and had put her back into it.
Nevertheless, our Young Master Henry didn't believe in it. He felt that the story must be related to him.
"Henry, let's enjoy the dishes. They've cooled down." Emily finally uttered the words in an attempt to shift his attention.
"No." He was so angry that he didn't want to eat anything.
"But you are the chief judge of the competition in the afternoon, aren't you? It takes three consecutive hours. If you don't fill your stomach now, you may feel hungry during the completion. And if you come to find something to eat in the middle of the competition, it would be so embarrassing."
"No!" As for whether he would be hungry or not, was it of her business? cng
"Seriously?"
"No!" Unless she would beg him! ae
“Hmm... People with high identities like you are not accustomed to take out the
leftovers, right?" oo
"Humph!"'"' Leftover? What the hell was that? Shame on it! ove
"Then I will begin to enjoy them." Emily was ecstatic in heart.
She picked up the chopsticks and soon, she felt full. She then walked towards the door of the private room.
"It's not the time yet. Where are you going?" Henry's expression became gloomy."
"Alright, alright, I know it's not the time to leave. I'm just coming to call the waiters."
"There's a button for interior call on the table." Obviously, this silly girl didn't have meals in high-end restaurants frequently. eon
"Oh, I'm behind the times." Emily seated herself again in a good mood and
pressed the button.
A waiter came over and knocked on the door within two seconds.
"Young Master Henry, what can I do for you?" The waiter asked respectfully.
Henry didn't reply Emily smiled and pointed at the leftovers on the table "Pleasenoveldrama
put them in doggy boxes for me I will take
them away."
"Put them in doggy boxes?" The waiter's expressions showed that he was
extremely shocked; after all, he hadn't expected
that Young Master Henry would take away the leftovers one day.
Henry felt stuffy inside and almost spitted blood because of anger.
He hadn't eaten the dishes yet, and this woman was asking the waiter to put them
in doggy boxes! This woman! This
woman!
"Yeah, Young Master Henry doesn't want to eat them. There're many dished on
the table. If I don't take them away, it must
be a waste."
Emily took it for granted and didn't think that there was anything wrong in her
words, "Quicker. Give me the doggy boxes."
The waiter looked at Henry, having no idea whether he should follow the order or
not."
The Young Master Henry would actually take away the leftovers! If this was spread, it would be a great shame for him.
Henry pressed his lips together and suddenly stood up and stepped forward.
People could sense his icy aura from his back.
Young Master Henry had always been gentle and graceful, and it was the first
time for him to see him being so angry.
"Alas! What are you angry at? I will not take them away. It's that okay?"
Emily chased after him, fearing that if he left now, he would give him another call
and tell her that she owed him one and
half an hour next time.
It would be the best to extinct the debt in one go. Who would know what he
planned to do next time.
"I just want to take away the dishes, is it necessary to be mad at it?"
When Emily followed him to the street, she was still thinking of the delicious
dishes on the table.
Although Terry and other team members had had lunch in the canteen of Skyler
University, the food in the canteen was far
more inferior to those dishes in that restaurant.
It was really a waste to leave those delicacies behind.
"Young Master Henry, where are you going? I can't catch up to you."
Henry had been walked fast while Emily tried so hard to follow him and was now panting because of physical exhaustion.
In the end, she stopped and stared at his back, "I've come out to accompany you.
It's you who abandon me."
After all, she had spent two hours on him. So he couldn't tell him that she still
owes him one and half an hour in the future.
That woman didn't follow him!
Henry, who was originally walking fast, suddenly turned around and walked
towards her.
"I owe me something, and now you dare to not to pay it back?"
"I want to. That's the reason why I'm following you now. Young Master Henry, I'm
yours
the whole noon."
Emily forced an obsequious smile and reached out her hand, assuming a posture
to lift his chin.
As expected, Henry avoided it with disdain, "Don't touch me with your dirty hand."
"My whole person is dirty too. What about me leaving now and not bothering you
for the rest one and half an hours?"
He loathed her, yet still forced her to stay with him. This man was really a freak.
To make him become impatient to her and therefore drive her away, Emily leaned forward and put her hand on his shoulder, assuming a posturing of leaning towards his arms.
"Young Master Henry, I'm yours right now. Don't you want me? Seriously?"
When her hand fell on Henry's shoulder, she felt the instant tightness of his torso.
Disgust and disdain emerged in Henry's heart and he suddenly had an impulse to
push her away.
But in the end, with his eyes getting darker, he grasped her wrist and pulled her into his embrace, "Seriously? You're mine?"
Chapter 195: The Woman by His Side
Emily lost her balance and knocked onto Henry's chest.
Tsk, Young Master Henry, who loathed her approach so much just now, had actually pulled her into his arms. Something
must have been wrong!
She had planned to trigger his disdain for her and in that case, she would be driven away and he would not come to find
her any longer.
But right at this moment, Emily vaguely felt that something had gone wrong and a gush of uneasiness and cold feeling
welled up in her heart.
Yeah, she had a cold feeling that she felt that all her blood was about to be frozen...
"Young Master Hunter, what a coincidence." Henry slightly curled his lips into a gentle and graceful smile.
Emily was frozen at the place. Young Master Hunter!
There was only one 'Young Master Hunter' in the whole Bentson City, and only that man matched to such an address.
She turned her head stiffly and saw a slender figure that was standing not far away.
Coldness overwhelmed her at the moment and penetrated into her bones, which almost froze her whole body, numbed her
arms and legs and deprived her ability to react.
But the woman by his side...
Emily shifted her gaze and glared at Henry, and then gently took back her hand.
Henry didn't stop her and took a step forward.
It shortened the distance between him and Emily, and Emily hastily stepped forward.
As Henry took another step forward, Emily had no other choice but to step forward accordingly towards Hunter's direction.
Otherwise, they would crash into each other.
But in the eyes of the others, it looked like Emily and Henry were walking towards Hunter together.
"Having lunch here?" Henry glanced at the woman by his side.
She was dignified and cool, which matched Hunter's temperament quite well. But out of no reason, he felt it distasteful.
Henry asked languidly, "Together?"
"We just had the lunch." Emily glared at him.
It must be a torture to have lunch with Hunter and Wendy.
"Tsk, didn't you say that you've not been full just now." Henry looked down at her with a visible trace of gentleness in his
eyes.
Yuck, it was really funny. Was it interesting to invite her to act such a show in front of Hunter?
Hunter wouldn't care about it.
Henry's hand landed on Emily's shoulder and Emily had an impulse to cast if off out of instinct. But when she saw Wendy
leaning towards Hunter, she changed her mind and instantly took back her hand.
Since he could flirt with other woman, why couldn't she?
She had left WongRiver Pavilion for a whole week, yet during which Hunter was getting alone with Wendy!
This really placed her, his nominal fiancée, into an awkward predicament.
"It's true that I'm not full, but I don't want to eat these light dishes."
Emily looked up at Henry, pouted and made a coquettish complaint.
"You eat these types of dishes every day. Won't you feel greasy?"
"Oh?" This missy was still angry at his boss Hunter.
That made senses. After all, a beautiful girl was standing by Hunter's side. And it
was natural for Emily, Hunter's fiancée, to
get angry, wasn't it?"
Henry raised his eyebrow and asked in a pampering tone, "What do you want to eat?"
Spicy hot pot!
Emily was immersed in the joy of having the spicy hot pot. It was so pungent and spicy and she felt it so palatable that
even her scalp was shivering.
Just now, she had scrammed down a few mouthfuls of those dishes for she originally planned to take them away and eat
them with her friends later.
But she hadn't expected that Henry would forbid her to take the food away as he regarded it as a shame.
The spicy hot pot she was enjoying now had completely mobilized her appetite.
They were now in the biggest private room in SC Hot Pot and there were plates of vegetables and meat on the large table,
such as mutton roll, beef soaked in milk, beef jerky, ox omasum, beef tripe, lamb, ox board muscle, blood curd, shrimp, hand-made balls, loaches, etc.
There were also various kinds of vegetables and piles of plates of ingredients conquered the table and even the small
handcart beside.
Anyway, the one who will pay the bill was so rich that this was just a piece of cake
for him, so Emily just ordered as many
ingredients as she could.
She simply seized the opportunity to order those expensive meats that she was begrudging to order in usual times!
However, among the four persons present, only Emily was actually enjoying the hot pot. As for the other three people, they didn't even pick up their chopsticks.
Emily didn't ask Hunter why he was with Wendy; instead, she put all her attention on Henry.
"Why didn't you guys pick up your chopsticks to enjoy it? Don't you need to have lunch?"
Henry peered at her and then picked up his chopsticks.
"Good. Come on, try the tender beef socked in milk. I promise it must be very delicious with a fresh and tender taste."
She then picked up a piece of beef which had been soaked in milk for several
seconds and put it into the hot pot, and then
quickly took it out again after a few seconds.
Emily put the beef into Henry's bowl, "Try it, quickly."
Henry picked up the beef and glanced at her with visible doubts in his eyes.
There was some chili oil on the beef... And it looked a bit unaesthetic. Was she really sure that this was eatable?
"It's eatable. Try it." Emily put on an evil smile, "I haven't harmed you, right?"
Oh, as if she was quite familiar with him... But in fact, they just met for a few times.
Henry stared at the beef between his chopsticks and asked, “Is it spicy?"
His stomach couldn't bear the spiciness so he seldom ate spicy food.
"It's a bit spicy. Come on, could it be that you can't even bear such a bit taste of spiciness? Are you a man?"
How could he bear it since she was questioning his identity as a man?
Henry didn't hesitate anymore and put the beef into his mouth.
Hmm... It tasted really good.
But at the moment he swallowed the beef, an amazing thing happened!
"Oh, it's so spicy!" Henry's handsome face and even his eyes instantly became
red.
"Are you crying?"
Seeing him gulping down water glass after glass, Emily couldn't help but distain
him. Wasn't it a bit spicy?
Wasn't it too exaggerated that even his eyes were red?
The man sitting across explained in a flat tone, "He can't eat spicy food."
He couldn't eat spicy food?
Emily peered at Henry's flushed face and felt a bit anxious after hearing his
continuous coughing.
She had done it deliberately.
In that, the hot pot was not that spicy. But she had played a trick when putting the
beef in it and therefore the beef was
covered with a heavy layer of chili oil.
And when dipping the beef in sauce, she chose the spiciest sauce.
Alas, this bad guy had annoyed her before, and this was just a trick to take her revenger on him.
But she hadn't expected that he would be so weak!
"Waiter, please pour him another glass of water."
"Okay."
Emily took the water from the waiter and then fed Henry the water why patting him
on the back.noveldrama
"Drink more water and you may feel better."
Henry felt that his throat was burning and tight, as if it was grasped by something.
So when Emily handed him the glass of water, he had no time to care about any
other thing and gulped it down.
He used to be gentle and elegant, but he looked so messy.
His perfect, fair face flushed due to the spiciness and his forehead broke out in
sweats which then fell down his face.
It was the first time that Emily had seen a person who was so unbearable to spiciness and broke out in sweats all over.
"Well. It's all my fault. I won't play jokes on you any longer.
Emily was a bit regretful and guilty and gently patted him on his back with her
small hand.
Seeing that Henry's situation had been lightened, she handed her the glass of
water again, "Drink a bit more. Just a bit and
don't drink too much in case that it will stuff your stomach."
Henry took the glass and took two sips.
Emily smiled with satisfaction, "Great. Good boy."
Henry glared at her as he was fuming, "Liar!"
Nevertheless, Emily picked up the other piece of meat and raised it to his mouth,
"This one is a bit spicy, seriously. I'm not
lying to you this time."
