Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 332: Emily, You’re Blushing

His... little girlfriend?

Emily was stunned, but she did not refute Henry’s comment.

Right now, what mattered was how to help him save this situation.

At the sight of Henry, Berry got angrier.

Especially, Henry was late because he took his little girlfriend to the hospital, which was even more unacceptable.

Berry thought that Henry’s girlfriend felt sick was not a big deal. How dare Henry keep him waiting all morning because of such a trifle!

Thus, Berry was loath to work with such an unreliable person in the future.

Everyone present knew Berry was furious.

Apart from Henry, no one else had the guts to laugh.

Henry was absent of the meeting, for his girlfriend didn’t feel well. Berry suspected that Henry would go much further after cooperation.

Emily was afraid that this big project would be aborted because of her.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly covered her mouth and started to vomit in front of everyone.

She didn’t feel well so she went to the hospital. Now she was vomiting ...

Everyone was stunned. They were adults. How couldn’t they figure out what was going on?

Henry’s smile froze. This girl … However, he quickly calmed himself down.

Henry hugged Emily, who finally stopped retching, and smiled at Berry, “I’m really sorry. It’s just an accident …”

Henry didn’t explain what it was.

Despite of his uneasy smile, he was joyful.

He looked at the little girl in his arms affectionately.

Everyone understood.

It was not a big deal that his girlfriend got sick. But that his girlfriend got pregnant was something big.

“Mr. Lopez, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose, and Henry didn’t …” Emily pretended to vomit again.

“Abby, quickly take Miss Gale inside to have a rest.” Ashton immediately ordered.

Abby rushed over and respectfully said to Emily, “Miss Gale, let me take you to rest.”

Emily nodded. Before she left, she apologized to Berry again.

“I’m really sorry, Mr. Lopez. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”

“… It doesn’t matter. Take care of yourself.”

She didn’t feel well, but she bent and apologized. Seeing this, Berry didn’t have the heart to blame her.

No matter how furious Berry was, Emily’s pitiful look disarmed him immediately.

Henry smiled lightly and said, “It’s time for lunch. Mr. Lopez, how about coming to our restaurant for lunch?”

Berry looked at him. Actually, cooperating with the Sharp Group was of great benefit to them.

But what happened this morning did piss him off.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Sharp Group was an ideal partner, he wouldn’t have waited until now.

They were both influential people. Now, Berry almost cooled his temper.

After thinking for a while, Berry nodded.

Ashton heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, “I’ll go prepare lunch for you. After you!”

…

Emily only stayed in the main building for a while. After Henry and Berry left the lobby, she sneaked back to her company.

After lunch, Emily ran into Sally and Lois, who had rushed back from school.

As they saw Emily, Sally’s eyes lit up. She dragged Emily to a corner with Lois, in an attempt to force her to confess.

“Don’t be too excited. Be careful!”

Lois warned Sally at the right time, afraid that this rude fellow would accidentally hurt Emily’s belly.

Shocked by her own actions, Sally hurriedly look down at Emily’s belly and said anxiously, “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

Emily was amused by their cautious behavior.

“What have you heard?” she asked. It was easy for Emily to guess the answer.

“It is said that you’re pregnant! Now, everyone in the company knows!”

“That’s right. In order to take you to see the doctor, Henry even stood Berry up. The company almost lost several billion because of you.”

“Well, everyone knows it. How could you even claim that you two were just friends?”

Emily shrank back against the wall, unable to retreat again.

She explained, “I didn’t lie to you. To help Henry save the situation, I pretended to retch, so Berry thought that Henry was delayed by something important. Cannot you see through my plan?”

“Even if you did pretend to be pregnant, what did you guys do in the morning?”

Sally doubted her words.

Lois came to the point. “Everyone saw that you two came back together. In other words, Henry stood Berry up because of you.”

Even if Emily wasn’t pregnant, she got involved.

Because of her, Henry didn’t mind losing several billion.

Other men wouldn’t do it for their wives, let alone for an unimportant woman.

Would anyone believe that Emily and Henry were just friends?

Emily didn’t know how to answer Lois’ sharp question.

She was in a bad mood, so she asked Henry out.

Henry switched off his phone in order to comfort her, even though he knew that he had to attend an important meeting.

If Emily told them this, they would be more certain that Henry and she were in a relationship.

They wouldn’t believe that Emily and Henry were just friends.

Emily even could not convince herself.

“Look, Emily is blushing!” Sharp-eyed Sally found it.

In shock, Emily subconsciously gently touched her cheeks.

Her cheeks were hot.

“Are you going to admit it?” Lois laughed.

Rumor had it that Emily won the cartoon competition because of her personal relationship with Henry.

At that time, Lois didn’t believe it. But on a second thought, it seemed that Henry had been approaching Emily purposely from the beginning.

Emily deserved the championship. Meanwhile, Henry loved Emily. There was no contradiction between these two facts.

“Well, he has to treat us to dinner!”

It was a rule that you had to ask your boyfriend to treat your friends.

“That’s right. We want to go to the best restaurant in Bentson and enjoy the most expensive dishes!”

“Alright, that’s a deal! It’s not easy to pursue Emily. Henry must treat us to the best dishes.”

“I’m going to send a message to Henry now!”

“Hey! What are you doing?” Emily was shocked and immediately went to grab Sally’s phone.

But Sally quickly walked away with her phone. “I’ll text him. It won’t be that easy for him to gain your favor secretly.”

“That’s right, Sally. This meal will cost him a lot of money!”

“Sally, I really have nothing to do with him. Don’t act recklessly.”

Fortunately, they were on the eighth floor, where only some senior staffs worked. Thus, few people would come here.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be caught that they chased after each other like this.

“You can ask others if they believe it or not. Nobody knows where you have been this morning.”

Sally was reluctant to give up. “It’s our rule that people in love must treat. If Henry doesn’t treat us, we absolutely cannot let you be with him!”

As they were talking, no one noticed that the elevator door opened, and a slender figure came out.

He heard what Sally said.

The man coughed lightly and smiled, “Didn’t I treat you yesterday?”
