Beloved Old Lover

When the rain outside stopped, the temperature in the room gradually decreased, and the couple’s breathing gradually stabilized.

Emily looked up at the ceiling, her hand gently rubbing the man’s sweaty hair, turning it into a mess.

Kevin’s body initially had absolutely no suspicious marks, but now it was marked with tooth marks and scratches caused by her nails and her body was not much better, full of hickeys.

“It’s too heavy, get down quickly.” She patted his sweaty back, urging him.

“Wait a moment.” He snuggled his head into her neck like a big dog.

After a few more minutes, Kevin let go of Emily, brushed away the sticky hair from her face, caressed her cheeks that had become round like two dumplings, and kissed her eyes that were still blurred and watery.

Every time, in the beginning, he wanted to pamper and be gentle with her but in the end, he wanted to bully her.

“Do you want to watch the rain?” He asked.

“I want.” She nodded.

He carefully helped her sit up, wrapped them both in a blanket and then leaned against the doorway together, looking outside.

The sky is still covered in a gray color. Even though they were sitting in the room, they could still feel the humid air outside.

Emily pressed her face against the glass, enjoying the coldness of nature, a little soothing and a little numb.

And her man was leaning against her, quietly looking at the water droplets on the glass that were merging into small streams that chased each other.

The following days, Kevin always came home before six o’clock, exactly five-thirty. He always comes home with a thick stack of documents in his car and all meetings are chaired by him via computer.

Of course, he was the only one not sitting in the company’s meeting room, but the leaders, including Venn, were all present.

Today he had a meeting that lasted from seven o’clock in the evening until ten o’clock at night and it still hadn’t ended.

Above the desk, Kevin is focusing on listening to the leaders’ opinions, suggestions, and discussions.

Below the desk, his little wife was sitting on the floor, her head resting on his leg, her eyes glued to the new fashion designs released by famous fashion brands.

Her hair was sometimes tangled and sometimes smooth because the man kept rubbing and then stroking it. Occasionally, he also gently pinched her ear.

It wasn’t until nearly eleven o’clock at night that Kevin stopped the meeting because he realized the little cat next to him had fallen asleep and the phone fell to the floor but she didn’t know.

“Why is she suddenly clinging to me?” He shook his head helplessly, quickly turned off the computer, and took off his headphones.

Emily dreamily opened her eyes as her husband carried her in his arms. While half awake and half unconscious, she leaned forward, kissed him on the cheek, then buried her head in his solid chest, continuing her unfinished sleep.

And when dawn came, she woke up again, did her duties as a wife, prepared things for her husband, kissed him for good luck, and had breakfast with him.

“Kevin, the time limit has expired, I release you.”

Her sudden words caused the soup spoon he had just brought to his mouth to pause. He didn’t understand what she was talking about. What time limit? Did she restrict his freedom?

“Today I will continue to bring you lunch and you don’t need to come home before six o’clock at night anymore. You are a leader, you should not often not appear in person at meetings at the company.” Emily smiled, her voice a bit awkward.

The truth is that Kevin also feels uncomfortable when, as the top leader of the corporation, he comes home and turns on his computer to have an online meeting with everyone.

However, because his wife wanted it, he had to comply with her wishes. Fortunately, she understood the nature of his work as well as his responsibilities and the way he should treat his subordinates.

“I’m sorry, marrying me makes you disadvantaged. Try to wait another month for me, I’ll handle all the urgent matters and then spend more time with you.” He reached out and held her hand, speaking gently.

“Yes.”

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his hand, and continued to eat.

He must win this international airport construction contract.

The estimated price has been adjusted upward, capital will be given priority over other key national projects.

Furthermore, the construction time was also extended, consistent with reality, not virtual like the first few times.

He needs this contract in hand to prove his capabilities in particular and the capabilities of the Unicons group in general.

Today, he will have a meeting, more precisely, an appointment with Brian to talk about the bidding partnership issue that Brian mentioned to Daniel before.

Kevin also didn’t know how far GE Corporation was developing abroad, but he heard Sara say that for the past month, Brian was not present in the country, and Kent was in charge of all meetings, large and small. He heard that the GE chairman’s hair had turned white.

Kent and Brian were busy and didn’t expect anything from Jennifer even though she also had a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

People say that if someone finishes studying and can’t practice, then that degree is just a piece of paper.

At the same time, in the large mansion, Matthew and Jessica were also having breakfast.

These past few days, Lisa has been regularly texting and chatting with Jessica and said that Kevin has always left work on time for nearly a week, and he runs all meetings after office hours online.

What made Jessica uncomfortable was hearing Lisa say that some leaders hinted and expressed dissatisfaction with this.

Feeling sad, she ate and told the story to her husband.

“Her husband’s work is busy, she is the wife, and she doesn’t sympathize with her husband but just clings to him. She must have forced Kevin to go home early.” Jessica picked up the glass of juice, took a sip, and said.

“How do you know if she’s clinging to Kevin or not? I see that your son wrapped her legs. But it’s good for Kevin to go home and work overtime. He’ll eat more. The wife is the one who will take the best care of her husband.” Matthew replied slowly.

Hearing her husband’s words, she immediately fell silent. The truth that many people know is that her son, Kevin is a lovesick businessman who clings to Emily from the south side of the city to the north side of the city.

At exactly nine o’clock in the morning, Kevin drove to the coffee shop in the alley near the main road at Brian’s request. His companion is Sara.

The moment Kevin saw the deputy general director of GE Corporation, he was a bit shocked because Brian looked so thin, his face was pale as if he was about to die.

After shaking hands, both people sat down and began to discuss issues surrounding the joint venture.

“Nominally, my side is sixty percent of the work, and your side is forty percent of the work, but behind the scenes it’s equal. I hope you will be frank with me about your financial situation so that we can be more proactive in future work.” Kevin sincerely suggested.

“You can rest assured about financial issues, my company is only a bit weak in terms of technology. Furthermore, my father and I have not had a chance to get to know new officials at the central level yet to ask for help.”

“Don’t worry about this, I’ve already sent them gifts. Fortunately, last week I was pulled by the city chairman to become friends with them.”

Speaking of this, Kevin leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, smiled, and said that because of entertaining those distinguished guests, his wife almost sent him to the chicken coop to sleep.

From the moment Kevin sat down, Brian saw the wedding ring on his ring finger.

Intuition told Brian that the wife Kevin was talking about was Emily. During this time, he did not contact her, so he did not know whether her life had changed or not. He even thought she was still working with Kurt.

“Your wife… Ah, I mean, do I know your wife?” Brian slowly asked.

“She’s the girl who sold you the Wine Company, Emily.” Kevin smiled happily.

“Are you still holding a grudge against me?”

“Not exactly like that. You have the Wine company, I have her. Actually, at first, I was just targeting her.”

Sara’s eyes continuously looked from one man to the other. Well, although both of their words were very polite, she smelled gunpowder around here.

Honestly, these two people seem to be bound by heaven, they don’t like each other at all but still cooperate time and time again.

“Congratulate on your happiness. And wish us happy cooperation.” Brian stood up and held out his hand.

“Thank. Sure.” Kevin smiled and nodded.

Leaving the coffee shop, Brian took out his phone and called Emily. The moment he heard the bell ring, he breathed a sigh of relief because she still kept her old phone number.

For more than a month now, he has considered the hospital his home, undergone several chemotherapy treatments, and did not have to go on business trips as rumored by employees of GE Corporation.

He admitted that his spirit had dropped a lot and he didn’t want to talk or see anyone during that time.

It was not until he received notice that Kevin wanted to meet with him to discuss cooperation in winning the international airport construction contract that he decided to return.

“Brian, is it you?” Emily’s voice rang out very urgently as soon as the phone was connected.

“Yes, I’m here. How are you?”

“Where are you? Can we meet each other? I called you continuously but there was no signal.”

Although Brian didn’t want Emily to see his shabby appearance, because she insisted on meeting him and because he also missed her very much, in the end, he nodded and agreed.

The meeting place was a coffee shop near where she lived, near a villa area only for wealthy people.

The meeting did not make Emily happy, she shed tears because she saw his sick appearance.

She guessed he had some serious illness, but after asking again and again, he kept saying it was because he had too much work.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“You are sick, aren’t you? No matter how much work you have, it cannot make you become like that.” She asked again.

“Because I’m not used to the climate abroad, I get a fever all the time and that’s why. I’ll be fine when I return here for about half a month, I’ll quickly gain weight. Now, tell me your story, wife of the new president of Unicons Group.”

Seeing Emily’s eyes widen and looking at him in surprise, he immediately told her that he had just met her husband to discuss cooperation.

He also praised Kevin for quickly paving the way as soon as Leo introduced him to the big officials and that meant they had a fifty percent chance.
