The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 251 Arguing in Public

"Mr. Anderson, you're quick at having kids!" Emily's surprised voice cthrough the phone.

Andrew replied earnestly, "Yeah, Mrs. Smith, | need you to cback to the company for a couple of days to

help Mr. Smith. As soon as my wife gives birth, I'll be back. This is also Mr. Smith's wish. You know, he trusts no

one but you and me."

Michael, who was eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but feel annoyed. He wanted Andrew to get Emily back to

work, but he didn't expect Andrew to throw him under the bus! When did he say he didn't trust others? Smith

Corporation was a prestigious company with tons of top graduates wanting to work there. Did they really need

Emily? What was so special about her?

Just as Michael was fuming, he heard Emily's response on the phone. "Okay, I'll cback today."

Andrew hung up, having completed his task, but Michael was still not satisfied. He quickly apologized, "Mr.

Smith, | had no other choice... | was afraid Mrs. Smith wouldn't come."

Michael sighed, feeling helpless. At least Emily was coming back, and he could keep an eye on her to prevent her

from getting too close to Daniel. Spending too much ttogether could lead to feelings developing, and if word

got out, it would damage his dignity.

Michael said, "Alright, you can go now."

Andrew was confused, "What?"

Michael said, "Didn't you tell Emily your wife is pregnant? What are you waiting for? Go be with her!"

Andrew replied, "Yes, Mr. Smith."

Andrew took another long leave, and Emily returned to the company, immediately diving into work in the

secretary's office without a word. She had managed Smith Corporation while Michael was hospitalized, so she

was familiar with many unfinished projects. Taking over again was easy, and she was even more adept than

before.

Emily didn't disturb Michael, still upset about him getting Abigail drunk. Michael didn't visit the secretary's office

to see Emily either, but he found excuses to ask her to bring documents or coffee. Despite this, Emily's external

title as Michael's wife meant everyone listened to her, and she always found a way to handle Michael's orders.

However, this mode of interaction couldn't last long without showing cracks. Especially on Monday, when all mid-

to-senior level employees of Smith Corporation had to attend a meeting, and Emily, as Michael's secretary, had

to be there on time. But she was unexpectedly late.

Isabella had scheduled a full-body checkup at the hospital on Monday. Emily had asked Michael for leave, but he

didn't approve it, so she had to reschedule the appointment.

The checkup took longer than expected, and by the tEmily arrived at the company, the meeting had already

started ten minutes ago.

For Emily, as Michael's wife, this wasn't a big deal. The employees’ work reports had just started, and it wasn't

tto take notes yet.

But Michael was angry. He increasingly felt that Emily's mind was no longer on Smith Corporation or the Smith

family affairs. If this continued, he wouldn't be surprised if Emily becthe head nurse at the downtown

hospital one day.

After all, she was so eager to visit that handsguy from the medical family every day, she must have learned

a lot by now!

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he got.

So, in front of everyone, Michael didn't care about Emily's dignity. "Do you know what tit is now?"

Emily had already anticipated Michael's reaction. She took a deep breath and replied patiently, "Eight ten."

Michael frowned, completely ignoring how many people were watching the in the conference room. "So

you know you're late, yet you still have this unhurried attitude. Emily, who taught you to be so rude? Do you

know this is work time?"

Emily didn't expect Michael to be so serious. This public scolding was clearly meant to embarrass her. But

Michael was the most dignified and respected person in Smith Corporation. Emily knew she couldn't argue, and

even if she did, she couldn't show it easily. She had to give Michael respect.

While comforting herself, Emily explained, "Mr. Smith, I'm really sorry. I'll pay attention next time."

From Michael's perspective, Emily's apology was quick, but her expression was as cold as ice. What? She could

go to the hospital to see Daniel, but coming to the company to help him for two days was so difficult? What did

they have to talk about? Was it worth meeting every day, with her always going to him?

Michael couldn't stand it and let his

jealousy out, blaming Emily again.

The more Michael spoke, the more serious he became, making everyone feel he wasn't joking. The atmosphere

in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Emily's expression beceven more complex and unpleasant. But everyone needed dignity, and Emily didn't

get angry in front of Michael and everyone. No matter how unreasonable the demands were, she never retorted.

But as soon as the meeting ended, Emily was the first to leave the conference room and then walked straight

into Michael's office, waiting for him with a stern face.

Ssaid that Michael and Emily were just arguing. Couples argued at the head of the bed and made up at the

foot. How could Michael really ask Emily to write a self- criticism and deduct her salary?

Others said that Michael didn't seem to be joking, and Emily was very perfunctory. The two were clearly a couple

in nonly, with a facade of harmony but discord in reality. Who knew how much they argued in private.

Arguing back and forth, neither side reached a conclusion and could only continue to observe the actions in the

CEO's office.
