Chapter 209 - A Constant Temperature

After getting drunk, some would become crazy, some would get into a brawl, some might be in a confusion, while some might mistake someone for someone else.

When Emily was in Vincent's arms, she was quiet. When he carried her out of the car, Emily hugged him drunkenly and shouted, "Dad."

"..."

The guards in the shadow laughed out loud.

Vincent glanced at the darkness, and the guards immediately climbed up the tree with dejected faces to do a handstand.

Vincent looked at Emily in his arms with a gloomy face. Her eyelashes trembled. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too powerless. She just hugged him and shouted, "Dad...."

In the private room, even though Emily was drunk, she still knew how to answer the question. She just looked drunk, and her voice was soft. She was very cute.

However, at this moment, she hugged him and kept calling, "Dad." After she finished, she pursed her lips with grievances. She didn't open her eyes. It was unknown she was drunk or she was talking in her dreams. "You promised me to carry me on your back, but you broke your word...."

"..."

Vincent remained silent for a moment. Then he put her down and carried her behind him. He hooked her calf and slightly bowed to make her feel more comfortable.

With her on his back, he climbed to the second floor, and walked along the corridor to the end. He was about to walk around when he heard Emily on his back breathing evenly. The hot breathing sprayed behind his neck, and he was attracted, as if a feather was tickling his heart.

Vincent paused and turned around. From his angle, he could see Emily's straight nose and pink lips.

He remembered the kiss in the room this afternoon and forcefully shifted his gaze away. He walked into the bedroom and put Emily on the bed. He took off her shoes and coat. Rex brought two hot towels over. Vincent took them. Under the dim wall lamp, he patiently and gently wiped her face, hands, and her feet.

Emily's feet were small, and her toes were delicate and cute. Vincent held her feet in his palm and wiped them with a towel with the other hand. Emily probably felt a little itchy. She shrank and laughed under the quilt.

Just as Vincent was about to put her foot down, he heard her shout, "Brother...."

Seeing that Vincent suddenly stopped for a long time without reacting, Rex said cautiously, "Miss Emily probably dreamed of her brother...."

The implication was that Emily liked Vincent more than her brother!

However, Rex seldom toadied, so he was not experienced. After he finished, Vincent was unhappy, for Rex's explanation was like a poor lie.

Vincent threw the towel to him without revealing his emotions. "Get out."

Rex responded, "Yes."

After the door closed, Vincent stood on the edge of the bed and said in a low voice, "You are heartless. Why don't you dream of me...."

Emily did dream of Eliot. He tickled her feet with a brush. She smiled while shrinking back. Eliot grabbed her hand and carried her to the chair. "Come, let me teach you how to write. Write your name first...."

Emily knew how to write her name, but her handwriting was poor. Eliot held her hand and taught her over and over again. When she finished writing a piece of paper, she turned the page and said, "Next, I'll write your name. Watch me."

As Emily wrote, she found that what appeared on the paper was not Eliot's name, but Vincent's.

She looked at the line blankly. When she turned around, she saw that the person behind her was not Eliot, but a man with sharp eyes. The man had sharply outlined features and a cold aura. His nose was straight, and his thin lips were like a knife as he pursed them.

Just as she was about to speak, the man bent to kiss her lips. Emily held back all of her confusion. Then, she was pulled away. Eliot fiercely and disappointedly questioned her, "When? When were you with him?"

Emily wanted to reply, but she saw Vincent leave. She reached out to pull him, only to see Vincent's short black hair turn gray in an instant....

When Emily woke up blankly, the sky was bright. The thick curtains blocked the sunlight, so the room was pitch black. Emily had a massive hangover, suffering from a headache. She lay quietly on the bed for a while before sitting up. However, the scene she had dreamed of lingered in her mind.

The phone beside the bed vibrated. She picked it up and looked at it. There were a few text messages. She rubbed her eyes and clicked on the text message. The first one was sent by Harold.

"Miss Emily, I have asked for a week off. I'll go there again today."

Although Emily had not regained her clear mind, seeing Harold's text message, she immediately knew where he was going. Harold clearly knew what she was thinking. Stephanie was still in trouble. If Emily rashly helped, others might think she had ulterior motives. Emily could only start from Spencer. If it didn't work, Emily planned to make a trip personally.

She replied, "Tell me you are fine every day."

The other short message was from Janessa.

"I left early today. Goodbye."

Emily remembered that Janessa was leaving in two days. Somehow, she left ahead of schedule. After thinking for a while, Emily answered, "Be careful."

Last night, they drank too much. Emily wondered what happened afterwards. When she was sent back, she seemed to have fallen asleep. She didn't vomit, right? She sniffed her body. Someone helped her change into pajamas. However, there was a faint smell of alcohol in her hair. She got off the bed barefoot and drew the curtains. She saw the warm sunlight shining on the pool. The water was sparkling. She could not help but open the balcony door and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Then she saw four men stuffed their heads in the pool.

"..."

If it weren't for her hangover, she would have shouted.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

The guards replied, "Mr. Vincent punished us."

Emily was puzzled. "Why?"

The guards fell silent.

They couldn't tell Emily that one of them laughed foolishly after she called Vincent Daddy last night.

"Come out. It's so cold." Emily was ready to go in, for she got a headache.

The guards were about to stand up gratefully when guard D said, "It's not cold. The water has a constant temperature."

"..."

Emily felt that she had disturbed them. She turned around and clutched her head as she left. "As you wish."

Thus, after she entered the room, other guards in the pool gave guard D a beating.

Emily felt that she heard something when she came in. But when she calmed down, she couldn't hear anything. Outside the balcony, guard D was pressed against the bottom of the pool by the other three guards and kept blowing bubbles.....
