Emily had no idea what Eric was thinking after she left his house, so she decided to return Samuel's call. She had not heard from him in a few days, not even when she was in the hospital, country Kay was distant, so she did not blame him; after all, she had also not informed him of her situation, and she did not know how he was doing all the while.
"Hello, " Samuel's exciting voice came from the other end of the link. when he noticed that Emily was not taking his calls, he panicked, thinking that she was angry at him. Samuel had been so busy that he did not notice the situation in Ua. His assistant did not like Emily, so since he did not ask, he did not bother to inform him.
Emily had been in the hospital for a few days and almost lost her life, but he did not show any care; it was understandable if she refused to take his call. Samuel felt that he had made a fool of himself; it was bearly a month since he professed his love and even promised to be there for her, yet a in a short while, he had shown his incompetency.
This was not his fault; after all, his father suddenly had to resign to save the company from his scandal; it was normal for some shareholders to try and cause trouble and look for a suitable opportunity to steal power from him, so he had been very busy. Since this was an internal struggle, it was not something Emily could know about, so he worried that she would not understand his situation.
"hey, sorry i missed your call earlier," Emily did not find it weird that he did not call all the while; she knew for a fact that he would have his difficulties since he did not look for her for almost a week.
"i just heard you were sick; how is your health?" when Samuel asked this question, his voice was a bit low, from his voice, it was obvious he was not so happy; his voice sounded a bit soft, and because he felt a bit awkward to only be making a call after so much time has passed.
"i am so much better," Emily did not know what he was thinking, so she answered him casually, but Samuel thought that she was indifferent because she was not pleased. "I know my call is a bit late, but i was not in the country Kay for some time; Sky group faced some internal problem, so..." Samuel had started to explain himself because he wanted Emily to understand his situation, but the more he spoke, the more he felt his excuse did not hold much weight. If he had even picked up his phone to call her in the past few days, he would have found out about her situation, so he shut his mouth awkwardly and blamed his assistant in his heart for not telling him the truth.
"I understand," Emily felt that he did not owe her this explanation; after all, the more he paid attention to her, the more she would be indebted to him. First, he helps her branch out her company; although she would have still gotten the newcomers invite to the international Technology association his vote made her movement smoother, in a few days back, he also helped her collect evidence against ABM; how could she have the face to be angry with him, especially after she rejected his love.
"I am relieved," Samuel did not have a choice but to stop here; after all, Emily's words ended the conversation, he might only show off his weakness more if he continued to speak.
"you have done so much for me already, i know that if you had the opportunity, you would have reached out earlier," Emily felt that her previous answer might have created a misunderstanding. After all, she could tell he still sounded hesitant when he replied.
"i am happy," Samuel was relieved this time since Emily could remember that he had been good to her; it meant that she was not angry. This did not mean he was happy to have made a mistake; after all, Emily already had someone in her heart; if that person was there while he was nowhere to be found, would he not lose his chance to be with her?
The two chatted for a while before Samuel brought up the issue of submitting the evidence against ABM to the association. "I have decided not to push it further, this time Eric Brown saved my life, i owe him a favour, so I handed over the file to him to consider the debt paid," Emily explained. since Samuel had already handed over the evidence, it was up to her to deal with it as she pleased.
"This can also be considered a good use," Samuel commented. he knew that a life and death favour like this can be challenging to pay. he was mad at himself for not being the one that saved her. Fortunately, he sent her that evidence and Emily would not have to owe him such a big Favour.
Emily also felt that the document was still put to good use; now that she did not owe the Browns any favour, she would not feel guilty when she launched an attack on them in the future. The two chatted a little more before hanging up the call.
"Why did you stay over for so long," Jude asked once she ended the call. He allowed her to send the flash herself because it would show their sincerity. He did not expect her to stay so long. he wanted to call her but stopped himself. No matter what, Eric would not do anything out of the line.
Emily looked away with guilt. she knew she should have called him the moment she agreed to stay for lunch so his heart would be at peace; it was just that she forgot about him. she could not tell Jude this, so she looked away. "did he deliberately keep you waiting?" Jude frown.
"no, he invited me for lunch, I tried my best to reject, but he insisted," Emily replied with an innocent smile. When Jude heard the first part of her statement he was angry, after all why he was anxiously waiting for her she was enjoying her lunch but hearing the other half of the sentence he felt that he should not blame her, the meal must have been a nightmare after all the Brown were set of cunny people.
"should i go to the kitchen to prepare something light for you?" Jude asked. He felt that Emily should not have eaten more than a few bites. When Emily heard his question, she unconsciously looked down to her stomach and shook her head. she had enjoyed the meal so much, but she would not dare tell this to Jude.
