Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Distracted All Morning
She looked up with a slight daze and turned to the Design Director sitting at the desk, “Hmm?”
The Design Director let out a helpless sigh, not understanding what was wrong with her, and had to repeat himself, “This is from last month, I need this month’s design plan.”
Upon hearing this, Emily finally came to her senses and hurriedly began searching through the piles on her office desk.
“I’m sorry, Director.”
The Design Director glanced at her and couldn’t help but ask, “Is something bothering you?”
Emily was taken aback and then shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Pressing her lips together, the Design Director could only leave helplessly, “Then focus on your work, and don’t make any more mistakes during handover.”
After the Design Director left, Emily finally let her face fall, looking especially pale on her fair complexion today.
The cell phone ringtone suddenly went off, and Emily frowned as she looked at it.
When she saw the caller ID, her expression suddenly froze.
It was another anonymous message.
Her fingers clenched the cell phone tightly as she tried to calm herself down before swiping the screen to display the message.
On the screen, there was another photo. When Emily saw the content of this photo, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
In the photo, Baron Stuart was leaving a hotel room, and behind him stood Camila Walker.
Did the two of them come out of the hotel together? They had been… sleeping together until now…
Thinking about this, Emily’s phone slipped from her hand, crashing onto the office desk.
The defenses of her long-guarded heart crumbled instantaneously, leaving her feeling devastated.
“Emily, are you okay?” Sensing her abnormality, a female colleague nearby couldn’t help but look over.
Ever since Emily’s identity was made public, there have been more people in the Design Department who cared about her.
Emily snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the female colleague, “I’m fine.”
She picked up her phone and switched it off.
Everything would be clear once Baron Stuart came back and told her. She kept telling herself this, but the stabbing pain in her chest never stopped reminding her that those eye-catching photos were real.
Until 3 PM, Emily still looked somewhat pale. The Design Department Director seemed to notice that something was off and let her leave work early.
“Your complexion is not good; you should go home and rest.”
Emily looked up, realizing that if anything were bothering her, it was most likely her heart.
She indeed had no motivation to continue working, so she didn’t refuse and simply packed her things and left the company.
“Thank you, Director.”
After leaving the company, Emily didn’t know whether Baron Stuart was at the company, at home, or… at Camila’s place.
With her heart adrift, she aimlessly walked along the main street. She didn’t know how long she had been walking until someone appeared in front of her, pulling her thoughts back to the present.
“If you keep going , you’re really playing with your life!”
A crisp voice sounded in her ear, and Emily looked up to see Thomas Emiliano standing in front of her.
“Don’t you even know to stop at a red light and go at a green light?” He looked at her with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Gazing at the man before her, Emily remained expressionless.
She looked up at Thomas, and then walked past him to continue her journey.
“What the hell do you want!?” As if anger was brewing in her heart, Emily suddenly turned around, her infuriated eyes staring directly at the man in front of her.
