A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Under Emily's steadfast leadership, Love and Dream finished the production of their brand new series of products just a few days before the day it was set to be released.

These new products were nothing like anyone had seen before. To add to that, they were priced at reasonable prices, making their competitive value extremely high. As a result, people on the internet couldn't stop talking about the products. Everybody in the design world anxiously waited for the release. In just a span of three days, all of the brand new products were completely sold out from every store shelf and online shop.

Love and Dream had just been established a few months ago and already garnered such a prestigious reputation. This made everyone in the design industry appreciate Emily's success.

“Jonas, what are you doing here?“

Emily asked when she noticed an unexpected visitor at her door.

With a faint smile, Jonas placed his hand on the frame of the office door and replied, “Emily, I heard that your product launch for this season was a big hit. I thought it was a good idea to come here and congratulate you personally.“

Emily wanted to close the door, but Jonas was standing in the way. This handsome man's arrival started to pique the curiosity of the employees outside. They couldn't help but look inside and see what was going on.

Emily didn't know what to do at that point and just responded, “Well then, thank you.“

The look on Jonas's face showed his dissatisfaction with her response. He then said, “Shouldn't you be inviting a supportive friend to come inside?“

At that point, Emily felt completely helpless. Long ago, she had already made a decision to stay away from him. Not a single cell in her body wanted him to come near her.

Unfortunately, letting Jonas just stand outside would definitely spark some unnecessary rumors. Moreover, Emily felt a little guilty about ignoring a friend who had come from far away just to congratulate her. Her kind nature couldn't let him leave without inviting him inside for at least a glass of water.

“All right, come in.“ Emily stepped aside to make room for Jonas.

As soon as Jonas walked past by Emily, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

He knew that Emily would agree to his request as soon as he mentioned the word “friend.“

When Emily returned to her seat, the look on Jonas's face returned to normal. He was standing with his back turned against the door, which blocked the view of the people outside.

“Emily, you look so drained. Did you stay up all night just to finish the designs?“ Jonas asked while approaching Emily's desk. He then looked straight into her eyes and waited for her response.
