The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

After dinner, since Michael had been drinking and couldn't drive, and Emily was busy with work, the task of driving was handed over to Daniel.

"Ms. Blair, I understand your concerns," Emily said. "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Since Penelope hadn't seen Emily for a while, she was overwhelmed with various tasks

at JM Jewelry Company. Helpless, she could only call Emily for some comfort.

"Alright, we'll be in touch then," Penelope replied.

After hanging up the phone, Emily relaxed her smile and took a deep breath.

Michael, lounging nearby, lazily remarked. "Was that Penelope?"

Emily nodded at his words. "She wants me to get back to work quickly."

Michael looked at Emily, noticing her clear eyes, her long, seaweed-like hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her skin glowing under the streetlights, making her face almost flawless.

For a moment, his Adam's apple bobbed, and Michael found himself somewhat entranced.

Driven by the influence of alcohol, Michael suddenly felt a surge of heat and desire. Just then, a horn blared.

It was that damn Daniel again.

At this moment, he honked at the car in front, and Michael shot a glance at his back, his expression deep and brooding in the dim light.

Meanwhile, Daniel also felt a sudden chill down his spine.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Emily wanted to work for a while, especially since Penelope had called.

To spend some time alone with Emily, Michael suggested that she help him out, as it was time for Andrew to report on work.

For the sake of Smith Corporation, Emily didn't refuse.

She agreed and then called out to Daniel, who was about to return to his

room. "Daniel, do you want to join us?"

Michael was genuinely surprised by Emily's invitation.

He didn't realize that Emily was so reluctant to be alone with him. Could it be because of that kiss in the morning?

Michael couldn't figure it out and shot a cold glance at Daniel.

Daniel, hearing this, initially wanted to refuse, as he knew nothing about business and would just sit there idly. But seeing Michael's look, a strange sense of competition emerged.noveldrama

Daniel, almost involuntarily, agreed. "Sure, I'll get some drinks for us."

This left Michael speechless.

Later, the three of them gathered together.

Daniel, knowing nothing about business, could only help by setting out drinks and

then sat aside, either playing on his phone or checking the latest surgical plans in the work group, occasionally offering suggestions.

Meanwhile, Michael and Emily were deeply engrossed in their work, discussing everything meticulously.

The matter of their divorce seemed unimportant to them now.

"I think Andrew's proposal is good. Maybe you should try it, or hold a meeting with the shareholders to discuss it. After all, redistributing shares is no small matter. Be careful with Roger," Emily suggested.

"I know. Actually, I've always wanted to collaborate with Ms. Blair. Instead of letting Watson Corporation join Smith Corporation's shares, it would be better to take a shortcut through Ms. Blair."

"You mean... bypass Mr. Watson?" Emily asked.

"My family was never close to Richard. Besides, my father was once best friends with Roger, and look how that turned out. It's better to skip these so-called relationships and go directly to the beneficiaries."

"I agree with you. Ms. Blair has JM Jewelry Company in Emerald City, which is more reassuring than Mr. Watson. I know you'd rather work with her than Bryan."

"You understand me well in this," Michael commented.

With that, they exchanged a smile.

They quickly settled a very important matter with just a few words.

Daniel rarely saw such harmony between Emily and Michael.

He was stunned, realizing he was witnessing true mutual understanding in real life.

They didn't need many words; just a glance, and they understood each other's thoughts.

Thinking about this, Daniel felt a bit awkward.

He cleared his throat and quietly asked Emily, afraid to disturb her work. "Emily, do you want some water?"

Emily was deeply engrossed in the files on her phone.

Penelope had just sent her information about the upcoming tenth-anniversary celebration of JM Jewelry Company.

Meanwhile, Michael was seriously conducting a video conference with headphones on, occasionally chatting with Emily, asking for her thoughts.

Emily would take the headphones and give instructions to Andrew on the other end of the call.

Clearly, Daniel couldn't get a word in.

These days, he rarely saw such a harmonious scene between Emily and Michael.

He could only quietly open a bottle of water and drink it himself to ease the awkwardness of being ignored, his expression frozen in a moment of stillness.

It seemed calm, but it contained endless emotional turmoil.

Daniel had to admit at this moment that Emily and Michael were well-matched.

At least in work, they shared the same ideas and had a tacit understanding, like a perfect couple.

Meanwhile, the video conference at Smith Corporation was a real powder keg, with tensions running high and the atmosphere thick with unspoken conflicts.

Most of the shareholders at Smith Corporation didn't expect Michael to be so assertive and detailed about work after being away for so many days.

Moreover, he had a helper this time Mrs. Smith, Emily.

It seemed the rumors about their divorce were unfounded year after year.

"Now that I'm asking you to speak, are you all mute?" Michael looked at the muted

group on the other side of the video and got angry.

Every time the issue of share distribution came up, these people had endless opinions.

But now, when it came to kicking Roger out, they were all silent.

Why?

Michael and Emily both understood.

Although Roger wasn't strong domestically, he had overseas assets, and many shareholders in Smith Corporation had ties to those overseas assets. So, they were reluctant to touch Roger's territory.

Even for the sake of the Smith family and Michael, they might not act. Seeing this, Michael exchanged a knowing glance with Emily. They understood the shareholders' concerns and decided to change the topic to recent work plans.
