Chapter 103 Betrayed And Used Her (1/2)
Things at Mimi's company for the next few days went smoothly. The work given to Emilia was limited for a day until she was fully recovered. Afterward, everything went back to normal.
The employees, however, after hearing what happened to Emilia became more considerate and spoke to her more, encouraging and praising her.
Majority of the time when others praised her, it had been for her money or her father's wealth and fortune.
But this time, things were different.
They were praising her not because of her father or her money, but for something she achieved by herself. Hearing their kind words and praises brought a warm, fuzzy lightness to Emilia's heart.
Nearly a month of working there, Mimi decided to bring the girl outside of the company to accompany her on meetings and business deals with other companies. She thought it was about time Emilia was shown what took place behind the scenes.
When Emilia was informed of her new task, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
What if she messed up? What if she embarrassed Andras in front of everyone?
Jean, noticing the girl's apparent nervous expression smiled gently.
”There's no need to worry, Andras has assured you won't be partaking in anything until you're ready. Your main job is to watch from the side and take notes.”
Despite Emilia's previous bitterness toward Jean, over the past few weeks, the two became moderately close. Her previous sour feelings toward Jean had dispersed.
However, they would occasionally ignite once in a while when she saw her with Andras, but overall the two developed a seemingly close friendship.
”Hmph! Does he think I can't handle more than just taking notes?” Emilia crossed her arms and huffed.
”My apologies. If you still feel that way, I'm sure Andras can quicken the pace of your training for you.”
Emilia's smirk froze in place. ”Ah...that won't be necessary. As a loyal employee, I'll follow Andras's original plans. Even if it slows me down I wouldn't want to hindrance him.”
”I understand.”
Noticing the smile on Jean's face, Emilia scowled and walked away. Jean shook her head in response.
They still had a long way to go.
...
In the back seat of Mimi's private car, Jean drove in the front while Emilia and Mimi sat in the back. While Jean was reciting Mimi's schedule, Mimi, with her chin propped on her palm, gazed out the window with quiet eyes.
Emilia, sitting beside her couldn't help but feel nervous - her fingers occasionally twitching from time to time.
”You're just writing down notes and watching on the side. No need to be nervous, doll face.”
”Eh?”
Emilia darted her gaze toward Mimi who was resting against the car window with shut eyes.
”We'll be going to a total of three companies. For the first two, you'll be following me and taking notes. For the last company, I'll have you standing outside with Jean.”
”Why do I need to stand outside for the last one?” Emilia couldn't help but ask.
Mimi's eyes slowly turned to look at Mimi. Emilia's body couldn't help but shiver upon staring into Andras's frosty, intense eyes. It was as if he were a completely different person.
