Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 10: A Handsome Human Trafficker  

Emma's eyes widened.She looked at the company's eye-catching logo of Carl's Group.It was so amazing.

Its aura could be compared to Wood Enterprise! She had never thought that she would be able to find such a good job after losing her job.

Since she met Oliver, she had the biggest luck after she was born.

Her life had finally become a bit better.

Emma nodded with satisfaction.

As Oliver said, it was for Oliver's sake that she could work here, and he also told her not to bring shame to him.

Therefore, she would work hard to leave a good impression on President Car!! Ms.Geller brought Emma to the office of Ethan Carl.

Emma tidied up her collar and took a look at herself in the mirror.

She felt that there was nothing wrong with her, so she strode into the office.

The man on the leather chair looked aloof.

Although it was said that he was otherworldly and indifferent, his eyes still lit up when he saw Emma walking toward him.

Emma's first impression on him was that she was a very gentle and well-behaved girl from a humble family.

He had thought that with Oliver's aesthetic standards, he would find a sexy and charming woman.

Ethan narrowed his eyes into a slit.

Even if she looked well-behaved, she might not be as what she looked like.

Since it was arranged by his good buddy, he did not have any arguments.

What he needed to do was just to let her do things at ease here.

"You're Emma Brook?"

His tone was so cold that it nearly froze Emma into ice.

Emma wiped the sweat on the top of her head and told herself, "It doesn't matter.Ethan is always like this.It's okay to adapt to it."

There was a smile on Emma's face again, "Yes! I'm Emma Brook.I'm going to work here from today, so I'd like to greet President Carl first.I will work hard to contribute my strength to the company!"

Emma bowed.

She thought, even if she couldn't get full marks, she would still get a pretty high marks for this respectful attitude, wouldn't she? Although she was eloquent, Ethan had seen many people like this on the first day of their jobs.

He waved his hand, "Well, great.Please work hard."

After saying that, Ms.Geller dragged Emma out of the office.

Huh? It ended? What! Emma was so well-prepared for the lines.

It seemed that President Carl didn't take her seriously at all! Having suffered hurt from the cold President Carl, Emma instantly felt that the enthusiasm for work had been washed away by his cold

attitude.

Ms.Geller was a woman with a pair of glasses and looked like twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Her voice was precise and capable, and she gave off an air of being well-experienced.

The manager also kept silent.

Emma felt dizzy, "Does everyone in this company have a poker face?"

It was just the right time for work, and employees took their places one after another.

On the way, they met several employees who were also from the Department of Design.

They greeted Ms.Geller enthusiastically but ignored Emma when she waved to them.

Wasn't such a powerful company supposed to be a little more enthusiastic when a new member joined such an outstanding team? Wouldn't it be too impolite if those employees didn't even cast a look at her? Emma couldn't understand no matter how hard she thought.

She followed the manager and asked weakly, "Ma‘am, did I greet in a wrong manner? Why they ignored me..."

The manager turned her face and looked at Emma's delicate little face with a cold look, "A post in the design department of the company is a good job.Many people fight for the position but fail.It's so easy for you to come in.It's inevitable that there will be some gossip.You don't have to pay attention to this kind of thing.Just ignore it."

It was not until then that Emma realized how much advantage she had gotten by relying on Oliver.

She was just envied by others because she was said to have come in due to her own relationship.

Emma felt aggrieved in her heart.

Although she did come in because of Oliver’s help, she did have the ability to take over this position! After all, she also had an excellent worker in Wood Enterprise.

She was not a beauty without brains.

She should prove herself! Emma found her desk, sat down, rolled up her sleeves, and started her work today! She had just arrived at the company, so the workload was not so big.

She mainly needed to understand her work and the cooperation of each department.

No one greeted this new small staff, and Emma no longer looked up at anyone, just burying her head in her own affairs.

It was not easy for her to get a new job.

Even if the way of entering was said to be so embarrassing, she still should work hard not to let these people look down on her.

After god-knows-how-long, she finally finished the work assigned by Ms.Geller, and raised her hands up and stretched out.

It was almost noon, and many employees put aside their work and went to eat.

Emma touched her belly and felt that she was not very hungry.

"I'm almost the only one left in the office."

Emma thought for a while and decided to get up to eat something.

At that time, a figure flashed in front of her and almost hit her.

That was an employee holding a pile of files in his arms, looking hurried.

Emma thought that those maybe tasks that had not been finished.

But it was almost time for lunch.

Couldn't she deal with it after a meal? It would take three or four hours to be complete so many files.

Emma walked up to the staff member and patted her on the shoulder, "Well...Excuse me...Do you want me to help you?"

Emma had finished all her work today.

Ms.Geller had very few tasks for her.When she saw that the girl seemed to be very helpless, she really wanted to help her.

Maybe she was too softhearted.

Anyway, she had nothing to do.

She thought it was not that bad to help others and practice herself.

Most of the employees in the Design Department were girls.

Judged from her look, the girl seemed to have just graduated from college.

Her long hair was hanging over her shoulders as if she was hiding herself.

She wore thick glasses on the bridge of her nose and sometimes stammered.

She turned around to look at Emma alertly, and then lowered her head trembling.

She said very in a dysfluent way, "No, no, You don't have to do that!"

Emma glanced at the files.

With her experience in Wood Enterprise for so many years, she could handle these easily, "If you do these by yourself, it takes a long time to finish it.Let me help you.Soon, we can complete it in an hour."

"No! Thanks for your kindness! But no!"

The girl with glasses gritted her teeth and lowered her head to continue her work.

"But ..."

"I already said that you didn't have to do that! Go away!"

The girl shoved Emma forcefully, causing her to take a few steps back.

She lost her balance and crashed into the office table next to her.

A small bruise immediately appeared on her knees.

Emma gasped her teeth and endured the pain.

She supported herself with the table.

The girl was stunned.

She looked at Emma in panic, "I, I, I'm sorry! I, I, I didn't do it on purpose...I really didn't mean it..."

Emma still wanted to say something, but Ms.Geller had already appeared behind her.

"What are you doing, Lily?"

Ms.Geller shouted, and legs of the girl named Lily instantly trembled.

"I, I, I, I didn't do it on purpose..."

It was as if she was telling a lie because she was not sharp-tongued, but she was telling the truth.

"If you really don't want to work here, you'd better leave now!"

"I, "

"Ma'am..."

I turned to the manager and whispered with a smile, "It's I who accidentally hit it."

Ms.Geller did not speak again.

Looking at the pile of documents on Lily's table, she frowned, "Are you still making the drawings?"

Lily didn't dare to look up, "These are the drawings that were returned before.Ms.Geller said that they were unqualified.They have to be re-made according to their requirements..."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Emma's forehead.

So many files were returned...

"All right, all right! I'll arrange for others to do this.You hurry to have a lunch!"

Ms.Geller said before she turned to take Emma away.

Ms.Geller took a look at the bruise on Emma's knee and told her, "You'd better stay away from her."

"May I ask a question? Is it true that all those designs are returned? So many?"

"It's not appropriate for such a girl who has just graduated to come to this place of high pressure, but she still wants to do her best.The reason why President Carl didn't fire her is that she had great perseverance and enthusiasm.The president said that there are very few new employees who work so hard now."

"So...As she is appreciated by President Carl and she doesn't want to disappoint him, so she has been working hard all the time.Right?"

"Under so much pressure, she is a little neurotic.The company is going to fire some employees, so she feels more pressed now, especially now you are here.She may be the next one to go."

Emma didn't say anything, but there was a sense of guilt in her heart.

When Emma was taking the elevator, she met President Carl.

She immediately greeted him, "Hello, President Carl!", which made her forget how painful her knee was.

Ethan stepped into the elevator with a noble aura.He just nodded faintly at her.

Then he took a look at the bruise on her knee and said nothing more.

Throughout the afternoon, Lily had been burying herself in her work in the corner.

Emma looked at her from afar and felt a stab of pain in her heart. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

How familiar was that figure to her? Wasn't it the same when she had just graduated from college? At that time, she was looked down upon by others.

She didn't want to be treated like that, so she worked hard all the time.

She envied those who came in by relying on relationships, but she was only angry in private and didn't dare to speak out.

It was time to go home.

Due to the pain on her knees, Emma was the last one to leave the company.

As soon as she went out, she saw a familiar car parked not far away.

There was a bad feeling in her heart.

It was not until she was tightly hugged by the man behind her that she seemed to wake up from a dream and screamed in a panic.

She turned around and punched Oliver's chest with her small fists, "Why did you come out from behind me? You scared me to death!"

Oliver was amused by her stupid look, "How could I scare you to death? This is obviously an embrace of love."

"The embrace of love my ass.I thought I was targeted by a human trafficker!"

"..."

Oliver was speechless.

He frowned and said, "Have you ever seen such a handsome human trafficker driving Bentley?"

When Oliver made the joke, he saw the bruises on Emma's leg.

His eyebrows immediately knitted together.

The atmosphere turned cold.

"What happened? Someone bullied you?"
