Chapter 26

Emily's POV
　　I looked at Fiona in disbelief; I hadn't expected her to return to the office to make such a request!
　　Fiona's intentions were clear: she wanted to make me the enemy of the entire department.
　　If I didn't finish the work she gave me on time before the end of the day, thus delaying everyone from going home, I would be isolated from all the employees in the department. This would be a very scary thing.
　　I can already feel the resentment and grumbling being directed at me. No one wants to be forced to work overtime for an intern!
　　"Emily. Don't worry, I'll help you." Lilly whispered from the side to reassure me.
　　She was the only one willing to help me along with this work when everyone was blaming me for the additional workload I might be forced to do.
　　"Thank you, Lilly, I'll be sure to get through all of this before the end of the day."
　　I finished and focused all my attention on the paperwork, which went much faster because I had Lilly answer my doubts.
　　By the end of the day, everyone was looking at me nervously, and I didn't go against their expectations. I finally finished all the work that Fiona gave me before the end of the day.
　　"Emily!!! You were amazing! I love you! Honey!"
　　Lilly was even happier than I was, hugging me with excitement.
　　I was also relieved and happy for not burdening the other employees.
　　Everyone was packing up and getting ready to leave work when Andre walked into the project office.
　　"I have good news to announce. To welcome our new colleagues, there will be a party waiting for you tonight at the Gaze Hotel. Everything spent will be paid by me, and I hope everyone has a good time!"
　　"Oh my God!!! This is fantastic! That's the Gaze Hotel! I can't even dream of going there!"
　　"Mr. Vincent is so nice. My friend has always envied me for having such a generous boss."
　　"I have to go to the bathroom now to fix my makeup, maybe I can find a new boyfriend at the Gaze Hotel."
　　I listened to the cheers of my colleagues as I squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the office. There were several buses parked on the road to take the company employees to the hotel.
　　"Emily! Come this way!"
　　I was looking for the bus belonging to the project department with Lilly when I suddenly heard someone shout my name. I turned my head to see that it was Lucy, standing next to a black BMW and waving at me.
　　I recognized it as Andre's car and hesitated to go over.
　　"Oh my God! That's Mr. Vincent's car! Emily! Get over there! Miss Lucy is calling you."
　　Lilly excitedly grabbed my arm, urging me to go to Lucy.
　　I stood still, not knowing what to do.
　　"I'm just an intern. I don't think I'm qualified to ride in Mr. Vincent's car, we'd better go take the bus."
　　"Emily. How can you be unqualified? Just because Miss Lucy invited you means that you are qualified. You don't know how jealous I am that you can have this opportunity. That's Mr. Vincent! How dare you hesitate! Get over there! Don't make Mr. Vincent wait for you!"
　　I was pushed by Lilly to Lucy, and after saying goodbye to her I opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
　　To hide my relationship with Andre, Lucy also got in and sat in the back.
　　"Baby. Close the windows, we're leaving."
　　I obeyed Andre's command and pressed the button to close the windows. The moment I looked up I suddenly noticed Fiona looking at me with resentment, I was startled by her eyes and hurried to close the windows faster.
　　"What's wrong?"
　　"Nothing. Let's go."
　　Andre asked me with concern noticing my expression. I shook my head without saying anything about my seeing Fiona.
　　Andre dropped me off at the hotel and then went straight from the hotel parking lot to the second floor.
　　He and Lucy weren't going to the party, there was a partner's party waiting for him on the second floor of the hotel.
　　He said he would pick me up after the party and take me home, so I was relieved to drink and hang out with Lilly at the party. But I didn't expect my drinking to be so bad that I got drunk straight away at the party, and I was still confused until I was taken away.
　　"Andy? Am I home yet?"
　　I had had too much to drink and my head was very unconscious.
　　I looked around and noticed that the room looked very familiar, then I remembered that this seemed to be my bedroom with Andre.
　　Andre seemed to be talking to me, but I couldn't even hear what he was saying. All I could see were multiple shadows of Andre looming over me. I found it very interesting and reached out to touch him. But one of them suddenly grabbed my hand and threw me down on the bed.
　　He kissed me passionately on the lips. The chandelier swayed above my head. I moaned and cried as Andre kept kneading my breasts and heaved his c**k into me. His low voice came into my ears.
　　"Baby, you want me to f**k you, don't you? Say it."
　　Yes, I desperately wanted him to f**k me.
　　I wrapped my arms around his head and pleaded with him loudly, "Andy, so good! F**k me! Aah!"
　　I didn't know if this was a dream or reality, I could only feel the boiling desire flowing through me.
　　It was the weekend, I didn't have to work, and it was noon when I woke up.
　　My head hurts, my body is sore and weak, and it seems I drank too much yesterday. I opened my eyes to see Kate sitting nicely on my bed watching a children's program on my computer, but Andre was nowhere to be seen.
　　"Dad said he was going to the office to take care of work and wouldn't be back until this afternoon, so let's not wait for him for lunch." Kate saw me wake up and turn off the computer, she burrowed into my arms, "Emi, I'm hungry. What are we having for lunch?"
　　"Sorry, Kate. I'll get up now and prepare lunch. What do you want to eat?"
　　"Spaghetti and steak!"
　　"Okay, my little princess."
　　I got up and helped Kate get dressed too and headed to the kitchen.
　　Kate and Andre like my cooking and I are happy to get compliments from them. So whenever I have time, I go into the kitchen myself to prepare their food.
　　"Emi! Your call!"
　　I was frying a steak when Kate walked in with my phone.
　　"Honey. I can't answer the phone right now, can you please bring my Bluetooth headset over here?"
　　"Yes!"
　　Kate was very happy to be able to solve the problem for me. I guess it gives her a feeling of being needed herself, so I often ask Kate to help me with little things.
　　"Hey, Susan. How have you been? It seems like we haven't talked on the phone in a while."
　　I had been busy with my internship and my dissertation after I moved out of my apartment, so I hadn't seen or talked to Susan on the phone for a long time, and Susan was just as busy as I was. She was working at a brokerage firm. I didn't think she would have time to call me.
　　"It's very bad, Emily. I've been really bad lately!"
　　"What's wrong? Honey, if you have any difficulties you must tell me."
　　Susan's voice sounded very tired. I worried if something bad had happened to her and asked with concern.
　　"My company has a very large amount of work every day, and some of the popular stars are very difficult to communicate with. Many of their personalities are very bad and add very much to my work."
　　I listened quietly to Susan's complaints. I didn't know how to comfort her, because my new job yesterday was also a mess. If it weren't for Andre, I'm quite unsure how I would have coped with Fiona.
　　"The bottom line is Kevin is too much of a womanizer! He can't break his habit at all! He still goes to the club to watch the dancers dance all the time! We've had many fights over this."
　　I knew this was the reason Susan called me. She's a very strong girl, and if it's just a work thing it's simply not enough to make her feel bad.
　　"Honey, Kevin is probably just too angry. I can tell he loves you. And he just went to see the dance and didn't do anything to betray you, right?"
　　Susan and I chatted as we put the finished food on our plates. That's when I suddenly heard Kate's cheering voice playing in the living room.
　　"Sorry, Susan. I think I have someone over at the house and I need to go check on them. Talk to you later."
　　I hung up the phone cleaned up the kitchen and hurried out.
　　An elegant and beautiful woman was sitting on the couch in the living room playing with Kate.
　　Jane?
