Chapter 72: Unwavering Love
When the clock struck five o’clock in the afternoon, Kevin and Sara quickly turned off the computer and left the office.
When they got down to the parking lot, they saw Venn and Lisa were also there.
When Lisa saw the young president standing side by side with his beautiful assistant, smiling and talking, she felt slightly disappointed.
Lisa always wished to sit next to Kevin and accompany him in everything. But she also knew she was not qualified and experienced enough to be chosen by him.
“Hello chairman, hello Miss Sara.” Lisa smiled and bowed very politely.
“Hello. Congratulations on your promotion. The assistant deputy general manager sounds impressive.” Sara replied smiling, her hand still clinging tightly to Kevin’s arm.
Lisa’s smile became forced, her clear eyes kept looking at the intimate gestures of the two people opposite her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
What she wanted was not only the title of assistant to the president but also the position of the person next to Kevin’s pillow.
For more than two months now, he still hasn’t visited that house, so she hasn’t had a chance to meet him or talk much.
The times she met him at the company were only fleeting, he didn’t even glance at the reception desk when entering the main lobby.
Fortunately, Venn suddenly asked her to be his assistant, which seemed like she was one step closer to achieving her dream.
“Let’s go, Sunset restaurant, Sara has already booked a table.”
After saying that, Kevin and Sara walked quickly to the nearby car. Today, Sara’s car was under warranty, so she took the bus and now has to hitchhike in her boss’s car.
Venn also winked, signaling his new assistant to quickly get into the car.
“Are Sara and the chairman dating?” Lisa showed an innocent expression and asked.
“No.” Venn answered briefly.
“Ah, because I see they are very close. Every time he goes with Sara, he is always smiling.”
“Yes, Sara has a very positive source of energy. But she’s just the president’s all-powerful assistant. He has had the bright moonlight in his heart for a long time.”
The space in the car fell into silence. Venn focused on the road, not paying attention to the face of the girl next to him who suddenly became sad as if she was contemplating something.
Lisa knew about Kevin’s past love through her mother, and her mother also commented that the girl he loved was somewhat similar to her.
That day, when Lisa saw Emily’s engagement photo in the newspaper, she thought that one day, she would become that girl’s sister-in-law.
Lisa did not expect Emily to be Kevin’s first love and when his younger brother passed away, he wanted to marry her.
It wasn’t a weekend, but Sunset Restaurant was still packed with customers in the afternoon. Fortunately, Sara had booked a table in advance.
A small birthday cake was placed at the head of the table, with twenty-eight candles placed on it, symbolizing Sara’s age.
After everyone sang the happy birthday song, Sara silently said a quick prayer and blew out the candles.
Kevin took out the gift box and gave it to his assistant. It was a very delicately crafted gold brooch.
“Even though you have not been in the new position for a long time, you have done very well, far exceeding my expectations. I wish you to always be happy and full of energy like this. I also hope that you will accompany the group and me for a long time.”
“Thank you, boss.”
Next are the gifts from Venn and Lisa. The two of them didn’t prepare gifts in advance. Today, they heard Kevin’s invitation, so they rushed to buy them during their lunch break.
Venn gave his colleague a bracelet, and Lisa bought Sara a scarf.
“Thank you, everyone, I hope we will be together for a long time.” Sara raised her glass of wine and spoke eagerly.
Joyful laughter and the sound of glass glasses gently clinking together rang out. None of the three of them knew that this room was the room where Kevin took the aphrodisiac when he acted like a hero to save the beauty.
Until now, he still regretted his actions of rejecting Emily. Obviously, at that time, she offered to help him quench his thirst for love, but he pushed her away while his heart screamed to keep her.
He realized that being too rational was not good. If only at that time, he had listened and followed his heart’s instructions, he and she would not have been separated.
If only at that time, he had agreed to spend a night of lovemaking with her, perhaps now, they would be living happily together as husband and wife.
“I still remember a week ago, we didn’t even have time to drink water, but now we can sit here together to celebrate my birthday.” Sara put down the glass of wine and shrugged as she remembered the time she spent eating and sleeping at her boss’s office.
“Yes, it’s horrible. Boss, the more your diplomatic ability increases, the more miserable our employees will be.” Venn spoke.
“So when you receive your salary, will you complain about suffering or will you say you volunteer to suffer?” Kevin asked nonchalantly.
Again, loud laughter rang out. At the table, Lisa is the most quiet. It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to integrate into their story, but because her heart was beating wildly and she was in a rather confused mood when she first had a meal with the man she admired and secretly loved for a long time.
“Eat, Lisa, don’t be shy.”
Hearing Kevin speak, Lisa was startled, nodded vigorously, and picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her bowl.
She did not dare to eat freely like Sara for fear of losing her gentle, ladylike image in front of him.
According to her mother, the girl named Emily was very gentle, and soft-spoken, like a noble lady.
This afternoon, she heard Venn’s phone call and knew that on Saturday, he would go with Kevin to the north side of the city.
Their purpose is to relax and interact with famous heirs as a way to pave the way for future business cooperation plans.
She wanted to follow them but didn’t know how to say it.
“But boss, you decided not to let me follow you this weekend? I heard there are some great pubs there, not too busy, with classic designs and hot but discreetly dressed hostesses.” Sara opened her blue eyes wide, staring at the person next to her.
“Why do you like girls like that? Do you want to go there to drink and watch girls?” Kevin frowned.
As soon as Lisa heard it, she choked on her wine, had to look away, and coughed until her face turned red. No wonder Kevin is as close to Sara as two brothers, comfortably letting her hold his hand and hug his shoulder.
A joy crept into Lisa’s heart, which meant that she did not need to worry that Sara would become a competitor to her in the journey to win this golden man’s heart.
She believes that as long as that girl doesn’t appear, he will soon have feelings for her, someone who has many similarities to the person he loves.
“Then let’s go together.”
“Can I come along?” Lisa quickly spoke up when she heard Kevin agreeing to let Sara follow him.
“How can you enter the pub with a face like this? I’m afraid people will think you are a juvenile.”
A burst of laughter rang out again, making Lisa blush even more. This appearance of hers made Venn feel that this girl was truly lovely, pure as the morning dew.
He knew that Kevin’s joke could imply that he agreed. Usually, his boss doesn’t joke around with strangers, but he knows that today Kevin is in an excited mood because he discovered the footprints of his dream lover. Love is what makes people break their own rules.
The small party ended, Venn was in charge of taking Sara home, and Lisa sat in Kevin’s car according to Sara’s arrangement. The reason is for convenience.
Lisa felt like her heart was about to burst when she heard that her big boss would drive her back to the boarding house.
Although her mother was living alone in his house, she could not go there to stay with her mother because, according to her mother, he did not allow it, he did not want there to be bad rumors about him.
The moment Lisa and Kevin got into the car together was seen by Jessica and Matthew.
At first glance, Jessica was furious because she thought her son was with Emily, but when she looked closely, she realized it was a strange girl who looked a bit like Daniel’s fiancee.
“Tell me the exact address, which part of the nine-first street?” Kevin spoke while observing the road to turn around.
“Alley three four three, street ninety-one.” She nervously answered.
The car sped along the road and soon stopped in front of the alley whose name had just been read, making Lisa surprised and a bit regretful. She had not yet had time to immerse herself in this euphoric, unreal feeling.
Why does he drive a car like he’s flying a plane? Or is it because this car cannot drive slowly?
“We’ve arrived.” He turned and looked surprised when he saw that she still hadn’t moved.
“Ah, thank you, chairman. Goodbye, have a good night.”
Kevin nodded and as soon as the car door closed, he sped back to his family’s villa.
He remembered that there were about two months left until Emily’s birthday. During the few years they dated, there was never a birthday that he didn’t give her a gift, even if it was just a cheap, worthless gift. The most valuable thing he gave her was the bracelet that fell into the stream.
He didn’t want his and her feelings to be like it, drifting with the water and disappearing forever.
Seeing her son just cross the threshold, Jessica waved her hand, asking him to come sit next to her.
Although he was surprised by his mother’s mysterious expression, he still obediently followed.
From the day Daniel was buried until now, his mother’s face has always been filled with sadness. When she tried to smile, she looked even more sad.
On the forty-ninth day after Daniel’s death, she sat by that grave for many hours, whispering and recalling stories from when his brother was a child.
“What’s wrong, mom?”
“You have a girlfriend, right? Quickly bring her here, if possible, get married and give me some grandchildren to make the house less empty.” She held his hand and asked gently.
“No, Mom, who did you hear talking nonsense?”
“I saw you with a girl, she looked quite beautiful. Today she wore a white dress and got in the car with you in front of Sunset restaurant.”
He laughed and explained everything to Jessica that Lisa was Venn’s assistant, newly promoted from the position of receptionist, and today, he drove her home because he was on the same path.
He also told his mother that she was the model he liked when he was young, but now, he likes a different type of woman.
After hearing her son’s explanation, Jessica sighed, told him to go to bed early, then stood up and walked up the stairs.
Although he understood that his mother wanted a daughter-in-law and grandchildren to fill Daniel’s void, he still had not found Emily, so how could he fulfill her wishes?
He likes Emily, not any type of person, as long as that girl is her, he will like her.
