Chapter 145
He couldn’t help laughing during the drive and replied, “I’m busy now. Don’t contact me if there is no emergency. My uncle will help you out. Remember to reward me if you two finally get married.”
Seeing that he agreed, Edith was relieved.
It would be done once she divorced him.
She had no idea that the man who texted her wasn’t Simon but her real husband!
Edith slept quite soundly and indeed dreamed of Carlos. That guy seemed to have disrupted her life all of a sudden.
It was as if… he became a part of her life.
The next day, Edith went to work as usual. Sarah invited her to have lunch together but she refused.
Instantly guessing that she would meet Carlos at noon, Sarah was wise enough not to insist..
She went to the canteen with other colleagues and they asked curiously, “Does Edith go have fun alone again? Why didn’t you dine together?”
“Don’t guess wildly. She is busy with work now.”
“Bullshit. She must have gone to have dinner with a man. As capable as she is, why does she compete with us for a job? It must be Mr. Britton behind her back. Don’t you think so, Summer?”
Summer knew the truth, but she always kept it to herself. After all, it’s so rude to reveal others‘ secrets at random.
She shook her head with a smile. “I don’t know.“”
“I like Summer better. At least she’s candid. In comparison, Edith is quite scheming! Sarah, it’s you who recommended her to work here. Be careful that she may step on you climbing the ladder.”
Her colleague’s words were quite unpleasant. Summer was a little displeased.
It was natural to crawl high and step low. These guys flattered her to her face and might also accuse her of being a gold digger
behind her back.
It was wise to remain silent. Summer saw Sarah’s face fall slightly.
No one would be happy after hearing those words.
She couldn’t help but comfort Sarah, “I’m sure Edith won’t do that. Don’t think too much.”
“Don’t worry. It isn’t bothering me. Edith is capable enough if she makes someone powerful her backup. Stop talking nonsense and hurry to eat.”
Sarah said with a smile.
Summer looked displeased at the words.
“Is Sarah helping Edith out, or just making things worse?
I have no reason to retort.
Sarah is targeting Edith instead of me.
Given her closeness to Mr. Britton, it was natural for Edith to be accused of sponging off him.”
Summer thought for a moment and decided not to get involved. She found an excuse and left.
After returning to the office, she continued the painting left unfinished in the morning.
Suddenly, an elegant woman came into the office clad in a suit with an exquisite silk square around her neck.
From the silk square alone, Summer recognized that it was their boss.
“Hello, boss.”
Slightly surprised, Emma did not expect someone to be in the office at this time.

Chapter 145
She took a closer look. How familiar!
She had heard about Daniel’s junior schoolmate from the personnel director but did not expect both of his junior schoolmates to work here. For a while, she was not sure which was the one she was looking for. But Robert said that Edith had a close relationship with Carlos, so it must be Sarah then.
She was naturally convinced that Daniel loved Sarah.
As the rumor has it, her younger brother, a playboy, was courting one of her employees. It must be the girl in front of her now.
“You are Summer?”
Summer didn’t expect her boss to know her name. Feeling quite flattered, she hurried to answer, “Yes, I am. What can I do for you, Madam?”
“Just call me Emma. There is no need to be polite. I’ve heard about you and my brother. Robert is quite childish. You have to be tolerant. I like you very much. My brother has always been a bastard. You have to protect yourself well.”
Emma understated, finding this topic a little embarrassing.
Summer couldn’t help but nod. She felt warm in her heart. How kind her boss was to care so much about her relationship with
Robert!
Emma went straight into her office after finishing speaking.
Suddenly, she received a call from Robert..
Emma answered the phone while packing up, “I have something to do this afternoon and will go back home a little late. Are you going home for dinner? Mum and Dad said you haven’t been back for a long time. How dare you not bring any of your girlfriends back home? Are you trying to piss them off?”
Robert was badly annoyed by his sister, a total chatterbox “How can a 25–year–old young girl be as garrulous as an old lady?” he thought.
“I know, I know. I’ll go back for dinner tonight. Stop nagging me about it.”
“How dare you target my employees, brat? You must treat this girl well. She’s pretty good.”
Robert’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, “You saw Summer already?”
“I just did. She’s a nice girl.” Emma was quite good at judging people, and it felt very comfortable to talk to Summer. If her younger brother really met a girl he hoped to marry, it would be great.
Robert asked nervously, “So I’m allowed to develop a relationship with her?”
“Why not? I can’t wait to see you date someone. If you really got married, Mom and Dad would surely be pleased…”
“What a cliche!
Can’t she say anything interesting?” Robert thought.
He interrupted rudely. “Emma, no more instructions. You’re just one year older than me.”
Emma froze. She pursed her lips, at a loss for words.
Robert realized that his words were too harsh. “Forget it. Let’s talk later. I’ll go back tonight and pick you up then.”
“Okay. Bye–bye.”
Emma said in a rigid tone.
Although a little sad, she had gotten used to it.
Robert would be offended whenever she mentioned this.
Because she was born to be humble in the Britton family….
