A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Sarah thought Emma was so unreasonable and didn't know how to reply. Emma seemed to have a wrong concept of love and life, or was she really conceited enough to think that Charles should love her regardless of whether she dumped him or not?

"Emma, do you even know what love is, or do you think that men should be waiting for you no matter what? You think yourself a queen, and all men are dying for your love even if you don't love them? Do you think that is normal, that this is true love?"

Emma's tone was becoming agitating, "Yes, yes, I know that my concept of love isn't right, but it's all because of you, Sarah! You used deceitful means to get my Charles! I know how you seduced him while I was studying abroad. Do you think you are such a pure and righteous woman? I accepted your marriage at the beginning, thinking that I couldn't blame him because it was me who first gave up on our love.

"I really thought the same as you, but after hearing the techniques you used to catch Charles's attention, do you really think I will just step to the side willingly? I'm not willing to lose to a despicable woman like you. I'd rather that my brother married a woman I admire, but I will never let him be happy with you. I will not allow you guys to live a happy life together!"

"How can you say I used techniques to get him? Tell me, what do I use?" Sarah raged at her misunderstanding and felt like cursing her. Emma was either fabricating the rumors out of thin air, or she was just not in her right mind!

Noticing how angry Sarah was, Emma sneered back. "Stop pretending! I know everything!"

Sarah was about to argue further when she suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what Emma just said, and asked instead. "Who told you all this?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt there was more to Emma's rage. Why had she changed suddenly and become so horrible? Although Emma had a mind of her own, she wasn't capable of doing all this on her own and suddenly started acting like a mad dog out biting people. Someone must have been brainwashed to become so distorted and biased against her.

Thinking about everything that had happened over the last couple of months and how Charles's attitude towards her had changed, sometimes by misunderstanding her and other times even mistrusting her, combined with Emma's abnormal behaviors lately, there had to be someone driving a wedge between them.

Sarah knew who that person was, so she continued asking, "Is there someone telling you something? Telling you that I used dirty tricks to get Charles?"

Emma laughed ironically at Sarah's question, looking at her as if Sarah was a clown, and said, "Sarah, you still keep pretending? It seems that you're really good at cheating others. No wonder Charles was so easily captivated by your pure and honest appearance. You are indeed a bitch!"

"Emma, answer me! Is there someone telling you something about me?" Sarah raised her voice to pressure Emma to answer.

But Emma stood firm and replied sarcastically. "Who tell me what? Even if someone is telling me things, why should I tell you? And why do I have to be told that you are a cheater?"

Sarah couldn't help laughing because Emma's tone and answer were so similar to Charles's. When asked the same question, both refused to answer her. Emma's words just made Sarah more suspicious. "Dic Christina tell you something?"

Sarah sighed. Christina was good at stirring up troubles behind the scenes, always interfering in her life.

"Stop it! When we found out your true colors, you started to find excuses to defend yourself. You really think that I'll believe you as long as you blame others?"

Sarah looked at Emma. The more she looked at her, the stranger she felt. Was Emma still the pure and innocent college student that Sarah had met at first? She looked more like a woman full of jealousy now. "Regardless if you are driven by someone, or you are just hostile to me by yourself, if you tried to provoke me, you've succeeded. You achieved your goal. And now that I met the real you, maybe I should be happy about it! Finally, I just want to say that if you trust that woman behind you too much, it will only make you more vicious. A vicious woman is not beautiful. You, as well as the woman behind you, are not beautiful or elegant. Be careful not to be seen by Charles in your true colors. Men don't like this kind of woman!"

Defeated, Emma said ironically. "Don't worry. I can't compare it with you anyway. My brother will first see your vicious face!"

Sarah shook her head and stared at her with an incredible expression, then sighed, "A lunatic! You're really a lunatic!"

Emma was about to respond when she saw Charles coming back, so she remained silent. She sat there with crossed arms and a stern face. Noticing that Emma suddenly stop talking, Sarah turned around and saw Charles coming, so she also remained silent.

Both were silent, with a very awkward atmosphere between them. Charles felt that something was wrong between them. Looking from one to another, he asked, "What's wrong,... with both of you?" Sarah had calmed herself down and looked at him with a smile. "Nothing. We just talked about a controversial topic and got into a little argument."

Amused, Charles asked. "What topic makes you two argue with each other? Tell me about it."

Sarah was thinking about how to explain herself to him when they heard the announcement that Emma's flight was boarding. Emma stood up and said dryly. "Ok, I need to go now." She grabbed her bag and left.

Charles helped her with the bigger luggage as Sarah walked behind them, looking at Emma's back and sighing.
