Chapter 1219 Beryls Smile (1/2)
Taylor fidgeted, seemingly a little uneasy. The closer she got to the man in front of her, the more unbearable the memories of that dark night became in her mind.
It came to a point where Taylor also believed that the pain would follow her forever.
After that day, every time Taylor went to the suburban villa to treat Scott, Louis would accompany her just to be safe.
Meanwhile, the meeting for the release of the new products was fast approaching. Emily often worked day and night in the office, while Jacob had been gone on a business trip to S Country for a week.
Emily's workload made it impossible for her to stay at home for a long time and as such, she practically ended up living in the office on most days.
Emily was utterly exhausted and barely managing to keep herself awake, when suddenly, the door of her office was pushed open by someone from the outside.
Beryl cheekily poked her head in and when she saw Emily, she grinned.
”Mommy!”
The sound of Beryl's voice forced Emily to look up and when she saw her daughter standing at the door, Emily winked at her happily.
Emily rubbed her temples and forced a smile on her face because she hadn't laughed in a long time.
”Mommy, have you been very busy lately? Would you like to have some rest?” Beryl asked, curiously gazing at her tired mother.
Emily felt rejuvenated, as if Beryl's words were all she needed to get through the day. ”It's okay. Mommy is not tired.”
Their precious moment was cut short when Emily's phone rang.
She quickly answered the phone and an impersonal voice came from the other end of the call.
”Miss Bai, please come to the meeting room at once. We have found the manufacturers for the new products. We are waiting for you to finalize everything.”
Emily glanced at her watch, and her eyelids twitched abruptly. ”Now?”
”Yes, Miss Bai.”
