Chapter 1512 Uncomfortable Meeting (1/2)
”Well, I hurt my fingers, not my hands,” Estelle declared. Even though she thought that Ethan was making it a bigger deal than it actually was, she was still sweet about it. She casually ate the fruit and continued to watch the show.
”You are just like Emily, you know that? She found out that the HT Group is making jewelry again, so she went back to work immediately. You find out that I cook, so you stay by my side to help me. Both of you liked to help your men.”
Ethan was joking, of course. He thought that Estelle was only half-listening to his words anyway. However, Estelle's eyes went wide and her smile faltered. She couldn't believe it. ”Wait, Emily went back to Love and Dream?” she asked to clarify.
”Yes, it's her first day back to work today. She's in much better condition now, I heard,” Ethan replied.

She looked up with an arched brow and said, ”We have the HR department for that kind of thing. You can ask the people from there to be the interviewers.”
”It's me.”
Recognizing the familiar voice, Emily looked up immediately. Her eyes went wide when she saw Estelle's face; it was as if she was seeing her nightmare come to life. Emily's hand, which was holding a pen tightly, started to tremble. She pretended to be calm, but her voice was shaky as she spoke, ”What are you doing here? Are you going to tell me that Love and Dream is plagiarizing again?”
Seeing Estelle made Emily feel like she re-opened a scar and exposed a deep and bloody wound. When she saw Emily's pained expression, Estelle's guilt grew. She pursed her lips and said, ”Emily…”
