Chapter 84
The new job made me feel very fresh, especially because I could face Frederic all day long. I was curious about what considerations he had in mind when arranging this position
for me.
I maintained this state of mind until I received a message from Evie. She asked, “Syl, has Frederic arranged a job for you? What did he ask you to do? Can you see him every day?”
As soon as I saw these three questions, I knew the reason.
Frederic definitely did it because he was forced by his
parents.
No wonder Frederic was annoyed even though he arranged for me to be his secretary, he still did it!
I replied, “Mom, I was working as Frederic’s personal secretary in the CEO’s office.”
Evie replied with a thumbs–up emoji.
At the end of work, I tidied up my things and then sent a message to Emilia. I asked her for an address. I can go and
meet her now.
Frederic didn’t plan to leave work. “I will work overtime. You go back first.”
“Okay.” I quickly left, afraid that Frederic would make me

work overtime!
Emilia quickly replied to the message. She invited me to meet at Encounter Café.
I drove straight there. Soon, I arrived at my destination. I didn’t expect Emilia to arrive earlier than me. She had already been waiting for me. She was wearing a white cardigan, and underneath it was a coffee–colored knitted camisole. Her fair and slender neck, as well as her collarbone, were exposed. Her hair was smooth and cascaded down her shoulders. She looked innocent and lovely.
She held her chin in her hand. On her collagen–rich face, there were a pair of round eyes. She was gazing out of the floor–to–ceiling window. It seemed like she was lost in thought.
“She is really beautiful!” I exclaimed from the bottom of my heart. As time went by, I increasingly felt that she was a good match for Frederic. At the very least, she had a good- looking appearance.
“Sylvia!” Emilia snapped out of her thoughts when she saw me, smiling and waving at me.
I walked over. After tidying up my black coat, I sat down across from Emilia. With a gentle smile, I asked, “Emilia, is there something you suddenly wanted to talk to me about?”
Emilia took out her phone and said shyly, “Sylvia, can I be friends with you on Line? I want to pay back the 330 dollars
I owe you.”
I was surprised. “Ruben has already paid for you. Don’t you know?”
Emilia was also surprised. She shook her head and said, “I didn’t know. I had already broken up with him.”
After Emilia finished speaking, her eyes turned red, but she quickly calmed down and forced a smile. “Sylvia, I want to return the money to him myself. Please help me refund his money.”
I opened Line and became friends with Emilia on it, then asked, “What happened? You guys had such a good relationship. Why did you break up?”
Emilia lowered her head and didn’t answer me. Soon, my phone rang. She transferred 330 dollars to me.
After transferring the money, Emilia stood up and said to me, “Sylvia, thank you. I’m going back to school first.”
“Did she come to see me just to repay me the money?” I sighed as I watched Emilia’s figure disappear outside the café door. Then, I got up and left as well, but I realized I had left my car keys inside the shop, so I had to go back to the café.
As I pushed open the door, I heard two girls at the console, with their backs facing the door, wiping the equipment while gossiping.
“I didn’t expect Emilia to be so familiar with her. Emilia even invited her out to chat.”
“She used to come to our place often to have coffee. I was very familiar with her!”
“Do you think Emilia wanted to build a good relationship with her because her husband was handsome? Hahaha…”
“Emilia was not that kind of person. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“The photo you took, she was the only one who didn’t like it. She definitely saw it.”
