It was slightly exhausting for her to adapt to the new environment. After the first day of work, she was tired.
Misha, who wanted to experience some hardship, was assigned here after finishing her postgraduate study. She was three or four years younger than Emily and was more energetic. Every day after work, she would go out to have fun with her colleagues.
She enthusiastically urged Emily to go with them, but Emily refused her invitation.
Emily, still a little jet- lagged, had not adapted the time difference. After all, the first night she arrived, Simon unexpectedly appeared and disturbed her rest.
Emily got out of the taxi and walked into the apartment building with her bag.
She lived on the top floor, so she had to climb a long flight of stairs. When she reached the door, she squatted down to look for the key under the mat, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
With a frown, Emily raised her hand and knocked on the door.
As expected, she soon heard footsteps coming from the inside. Then, she saw Simon's angular face when he opened the door for her.
Slightly annoyed, Emily asked, "Why are you still here?"
"You're back from work." Simon, wearing a blue checked apron filled with a cooking smell, did not answer the question. At this time, he only wanted to be her husband, who waited for her to go home from work.
After he opened the door, the tall figure walked back to the kitchen before she could say anything. "I'll pour you a glass of water!"
Emily secretly gritted her teeth but could only step in.
She put on her slippers, followed him, and asked anxiously, "Simon, answer me. Why are you still here?"
Simon bent down in front of the water dispenser, looking at her with his beautiful eyes. He lazily explained, "It's the time difference. After you left, I've gone back to sleep. It's already noon when I woke up. Then, I went to the supermarket and shopped for too long, so I forgot to go to the embassy!"
"..." Emily clenched her fists.
No one could believe what he had just said!
Since he had enough time to go to the supermarket, how could he not go to the embassy?! It was obvious that he did all of this on purpose.
"The supermarket here is not bad. There is quite a lot of food that we've gotten accustomed to. Fortunately, although I lost my wallet, I can use my VISA to pay the bill by my phone!" Simon stood up straight and handed her a glass cup. He smiled and said, "I bought many things and made a few dishes that you love to eat! Emily, are you hungry? Just wait a little longer, and you'll be able to have the meal in
ten minutes!"
Emily stared at him for a long time but did not take his cup. Instead, she turned around and walked directly to the bedroom.
She walked to the window, gazing at the setting sun through the gap between the tall buildings ahead. Then, she closed her eyes with a deep sigh.
At this moment, her cell phone rang, and after Emily saw the screen, she was slightly startled.
It was a call from her aunt. Emily had expected it. During the lunch break, Selena, her cousin, called her. Emily told her that she had been sent to work in Country S, so Emily knew that her aunt would know it soon!
After the call, Emily put down the phone and held it in her hand.
Simon's thin lips twitched a little stiffly as he asked, "A call from aunt?"
"Yes." Emily nodded.
He heard everything, but he still wanted to confirm it!
Simon's chest suddenly rose and fell violently twice. A melancholy flickered across his eyes, but he did not ask any more questions. He just said faintly, "The meal is ready. Come and eat it!"
This night, Emily, carrying a pillow in her arms, went to sleep next room again.
In Country S, the sun rose early. Since Emily was new here, she did not have that much work to do. Besides, the local life there moved slowly.
Emily was replying to the chief editor's email, and Misha ran to her with a pile of copies in her arms, her eyes filled with the desire to gossip. "Hey, I heard that your husband also came with you!"
"Angeline told you, right?" asked Emily.
Angeline was the foreign woman who picked her up at the airport and showed her around after she got off the plane.
Misha smirked, and her young face looked particularly brilliant. "Actually, I saw him last night. He is at least 1.86 meters tall and really handsome. His peach blossom eyes are so charming. I believe they have the enchanting power to make people crazy! Sister Emily, are all men from the north so attractive?"
