Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 298 You're Here Too

Despite being mentally prepared, Emily was still taken aback by the company's system as she visited other floors. It was almost five in the afternoon, with half an hour to go before the end of the workday. Yet, employees were steadily arriving, taking their seats, and beginning their work. Contrary to her expectations, the employees were not in formal suits but dressed comfortably and casually. The men mostly wore simple T-shirts and jeans, while the women showcased a variety of styles—some were dressed sensually, others looked pure and cute, some in casual or sportswear, and a few young girls in princess dresses, looking like they had stepped out of a fairy tale. "Wow, Emily!" A girl in a princess dress exclaimed in delight, waved to her companions, and ran over. "Emily, did you come to the company to find me?" As the girl got closer, Emily recognized her. "Janet, I didn't expect to meet you here." "You're about to become my brother's wife, so I'm ready to receive gifts!" A hand behind Janet playfully pushed her head. "Who are you asking for gifts from?" "Bryden!" Janet protested, seeing who it was. "Stop bothering me, I'm your sister, not your punching bag!" Bryden snorted. "Well, you look like a punching bag to me. My eyesight isn't great, and I couldn't resist pushing the bag away." "Hey! Bryden! Have you ever seen a punching bag wearing a princess dress? This dress cost over thirty thousand dollars!" "It's just a few pieces of fabric stitched together, what's so special about it?" Janet was so angry she almost blew steam from her nose and promptly turned to Emily to complain. "Emily, look! Bryden bullies me every day! You have to help me!" Bryden picked her up. "Emily is pregnant now, be careful." Janet immediately softened. She had been so focused on complaining that she momentarily forgot Emily was pregnant. "Emily, I'm sorry, are you okay?"Emily reassured her with a smile. "It's fine, I'm not made of glass." Janet shook her head. "No, the baby in your belly is our family’s heir. I must protect him! Emily, if you need anything, just tell me, and I'll get it for you." Janet was innocent, cute, and kind-hearted. Emily always felt a sense of envy when she saw Janet. Growing up in a loving family, how did Janet become so optimistic and passionate, while Sophia turned out so differently? What went wrong? "Hey, where's Vincent?" Janet looked around. "Where is he?" Bryden's expression darkened, and he tugged Janet's sleeve. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't." "I'm not asking anything wrong. Vincent cares so much about Emily, so where is he?" "Janet," Bryden gave her a look, "go get Emily a glass of water." Janet looked suspiciously at Bryden, then at Emily. "Are you two hiding something from me?" "No," Emily understood Bryden's expression. He probably had something to tell her, so she asked Janet, "Can you please get me a glass of water? I'm a bit thirsty." With Emily's request, Janet naturally had no problem. She happily hopped to the kitchenette. "No problem, leave it to me!" "Do you think that my sister and I don't look much like our mother?" Bryden asked softly. Emily nodded. "You resemble Mandy a lot. She has beautiful eyes, and you both inherited that." Bryden neither agreed nor disagreed, pointing to a couch in the corner. "Emily, let's sit there and talk." "…Okay." As Emily walked towards the corner, Bryden maintained a careful distance behind her, keeping the employees away from Emily without being too close. Emily felt a sense of admiration. Although not biological brothers, Bryden and Mr. Satan had similar personalities. Both were attentive and considerate towards women. The difference was that Bryden had a happy childhood, showing a playful side with friends, family, and his sister—an obvious product of a carefree upbringing.In contrast, Mr. Satan lost his carefree innocence at the age of five. Strength often comes from hardship. "Emily, please have a seat." "Thank you." Bryden sat across from her, looking like he had something to say but didn't know where to start. Emily decided to ask first. "Are you here to see Vincent today?" She still wasn't used to calling him by his first name. Bryden nodded. "Yes, Janet has a friend working here, and she wanted to visit. I also have some questions for Vincent, so I came along. I didn't expect to see you here." Emily smiled. "Thank you for taking me home that day." "Are you still staying at your friend's apartment? How did you get here today?" "I..." A deep, magnetic voice interrupted from behind. "Of course, I brought her here." Emily turned in surprise. "You..." Satan placed a glass of water in her hand and sat beside her naturally. "I just went to get you a glass of water, and you came here." He was now wearing a white mask. He must have seen Bryden and Janet and returned to put on his mask. He still wasn't ready to show his true face to them.
