"Okay then," she said with a small sigh and a hint of resignation.
As much as she wished Ethan would spend more time with her, he was too busy at the moment to spend any time with her, and when Emma Johnson returned, she felt at strong sense of crisis, and the more she tried to maintain her relationship with Ethan, the less she felt able to do so.
"I'm going out now, there's something he needs to take care of."
Ethan casually said a few words, and sent Olivia out. Reluctantly, Olivia left the office, worried that Ethan's attitude towards her was changing slightly, and walked to her workstation, where she met Emma.
A look of disgust flashes across her face and she rushes forward to block Emma's way.
"Emma, she and Ethan are getting engaged soon, and I've got to be there for their wedding when it happens."
Olivia had always been worried about Emma and Ethan's old feelings resurfacing, especially since Ethan's attitude towards Emma had changed a bit recently, making her feel even more uneasy. She'd even concocted such a lie if it meant putting Emma off for good. "Sorry, no time." Emma lifted her cool eyes, swept her a pale glance, and refused without hesitation.
"I'm not very......" Olivia was momentarily speechless, but Emma seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say next, didn't wait for her to finish her sentence, directly turned around and left.
She knew that her relationship with Ethan had been drained in those five years, and she didn't want to talk about the past, and Emma didn't want to tell Olivia over and over again that she had nothing more to do with Ethan.
Three Years to Love
Despite Carter Corporation's recent plagiarism scandal, things soon took a turn for the worse, and it didn't take long for things to die down.
The story soon reached the ears of Mr. Carter Sr. He was thrilled to learn that Emma was the alleged designer of Carter Corporation. Five years ago, Emma and Ethan unceremoniously ended their marriage, he knew such news, Emma after the divorce as if evaporated, they had sent people to look for, but did not find any clues.
Mr. Carter Sr. had a big fight with Ethan because of this, after learning that Emma was back, the next morning, he hurried to the company with excitement.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here all of a sudden?" Ethan finished the morning meeting and walked into the office to find Mr. Carter Sr. sitting majestically on the
sofa.
"Hmph, how long has that kid of mine been keeping me in the dark, he didn't even tell me that Emma was back."
The old man grunted, his tone full of complaint.
"Grandpa, Ethan and Emma are divorced, so I wasn't informed of her return." Ethan hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowed, barely explaining.
"Never mind, let's forget about that for now, just get Emma over here." Mr. Carter Sr. didn't want to waste any more time on blaming Ethan, he just wanted to see Emma at the moment.
"Grandpa, she's off tomorrow, so she didn't show up at work today." Ethan said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
