Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
Because of everything that happened, Xanthe realized the potential value Emma possessed. So, she wanted to find a secret of Emma’s to hold onto, hoping that someday it may help her control her.
The day before their trip to London, Lisa was a bit distressed as she told Emma, “I’ve realized recently, someone’s been stalking me…”
Emma tensed her eyebrows. She had a feeling she knew why Lisa was being stalked. Xanthe must have suspected that Lisa and Luke’s relationship was fake!
“So many days have passed since the incident. Have you not seen Luke even once?” Emma asked.
“Well, that day…the day that I brought grandfather home, Luke was waiting in the cold outside my house out of kindness; he simply wanted to see if we were safe. But, grandfather believed the words of Xanthe and that jerk. They said I was Luke’s mistress. Now my grandfather refuses to leave New York and insists on keeping me under observation.”
“Lisa, the only reason we got Luke to announce he was your fiancee, was not only to cover for Eric and I, but also to protect you. If you feel bothered by it…”
“No, I’m not bothered at all. In fact, I feel like Luke has suffered a loss from this entire situation,” Lisa waved her hand quickly.
“Then…what if we pretend that you two are living together?”
“Huh?”
“It’s just pretend…” In reality, Emma had already sensed that Lisa had a tiny inkling of interest in Luke. So, she wanted to take advantage of the situation to create an opportunity for them.
“I…I’m afraid this isn’t such a good idea,” Lisa’s cheeks flushed red.
“You are an engaged couple. It’s official.”
After hearing this, Lisa was stunned as she waved her hands vigorously, “Emma, don’t do this. Otherwise, things will be even more awkward bet**en Luke and I. I truly think of Luke as a friend. If you want me to play along with your act, I am happy to coordinate, but, if you want me to pretend to cohabit with Luke, that’s gone a little overboard.”
Emma was in the middle of packing her luggage. After hearing Lisa’s explanation, she nodded her head, “Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”
“What are you talking about? Luke is younger than I am,” Lisa acted like she heard something ridiculous. But in reality, the more flustered she was, the more obvious it was that she had the slightest hope something would happen. It was just that she felt she didn’t compare to him…
So she was feeling a little inferior.
“When I come back, I’ll ask Luke what type of girl he is interested in.”
“Eh, isn’t Big Boss accompanying you?” in order to make things less awkward, Lisa quickly changed the topic. Emma thought about all the invitations and appointments sitting on Eric’s desk and shook her head.
“It’s almost the end of the year and events are popping up rapidly. I don’t want him to be tired. Plus, to prevent him from following me, I’ve brought my flight forward a little. Don’t forget.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already packed everything,” Lisa felt like she could finally relax now that Emma no longer lingered around the topic of her and Luke.
Not only was she almost 30, not highly educated and without achievements; most importantly, she enjoyed eating too much. She felt it was impossible for an elite like Luke to be interested in her.
Sometimes, she felt the impulse to chase after something amazing. But, she felt she was already past the age where she would throw herself into a situation even though she knew she stood no chance…
Not long after Lisa left Hyatt Regency, Luke appeared with a plate of fresh sashimi that was air freighted straight from Japan. Seeing Emma all alone in the living room, his exp**ssion was dull, “Wasn’t Lisa here just a moment ago? How come she’s gone?”
Emma looked at the sashimi. It was obvious, with her nutritious diet plan, there was no way she would eat this. So she smiled at Luke, “She just left for home. How about you chase after her?”
“Oh, forget about it then,” Luke replied.
“Luke, can you be honest with me? Towards Lisa…”
“Oh that…” before Emma could finish, Luke awkwardly cut in. He looked down at his well-polished leather shoes and replied, “After seeing her being bullied, I was just feeling a bit of sympathy towards her.”
“Just sympathy?”
“What else could there be?”
Emma lowered her head helplessly. She had known a long time ago that Luke’s EQ wasn’t very high, but…
…this was way too low!
“It’s nothing. I can’t eat any of this. Go and give them to Lisa.”
“What if her grandfather misunderstands? I don’t think I should.” After speaking, Luke turned around and left Hyatt Regency. Emma was left staring blankly at the plate of fresh sashimi.
At this time, Eric came out of the study room after finishing off his work. Seeing Emma looking a little helpless, he couldn’t help but hug her from behind, “What’s wrong?”
“You don’t like to eat this either, right?” Emma replied as she pulled out her phone and called Lisa.
“Luke delivered a whole plate of fresh sashimi, do you want to take it home and savor it?”
Lisa had just arrived home. She found herself not focusing on the sashimi, but Luke. She realized she felt a little restless when she thought of him. But after holding back her feelings for a moment, she still felt things weren’t right as she rejected Emma, “I’ll have to give it a miss, I’m already home.”
“I can’t eat it and Eric doesn’t like it. If you don’t take it, I’ll have to throw it out.”
“No…no, don’t throw it out. I’ll come right away,” Lisa quickly changed her clothes and returned to Hyatt Regency. She quickly packed all the sashimi from Luke and took them home. But, she did not eat any of it. Instead, she cherishingly placed the sashimi into the freezer.
When someone has feelings for another person, even if they were to give them something as simple as a tissue to wipe away their sweat, they would cherish it and hold onto it. They would let it dry and keep it as a memory, right?
…
After bathing herself, Emma lay on the bed and thought about the situation bet**en Lisa and Luke. Suddenly, she felt a chill sweep past her ch*st; it turned out, Eric had removed her robe without her even noticing. His warm hands ran down her body before pulling her into his embrace.
Emma looked at Eric. His eyes looked a little hazy and a little agitated. Of course, it also contained a trace of anticipation.
“Since you have to go away for so long, shouldn’t you make up for it in advance?”
In reality, Eric didn’t need to ask her; Emma’s desire for him was equally strong. When two people truly loved each other, even a simple glance would be enough to stir up a tsunami of emotions.
In an instant, two robes were strewn across the pure white bed. Amongst the darkness, the firmly p**ssed bodies, the mingling sweat and the intertwined fi**gers, made this exchange of love appear extra intense and passionate; making one’s face blush and heart race.
The couple did not like to talk, so Eric was more accustomed to Emma’s soft m**ns and pants. Especially when she hit her climax, she would uncontrollably bite his shoulder, making Eric love her from head to toe all over again. He wanted to be like this with her until the end of time…
As for Emma, the thing that moved her the most was that no matter what Eric desired, after coming down from their climax, no matter how vulnerable they both felt, he would still pull her sweaty body into his embrace…
