Chapter 538 - Telling The Truth (3)

As soon as the door was closed, Emily entered the bathroom. She approached Vincent and sniffed carefully, like a puppy. The tip of her nose almost touched his neck.

"Are you smelling meat?" Vincent asked, looking at her with amusement.

"Susan said she smelled smoke. Maybe she was used to it, but I actually didn't feel anything." Emily took a step back and stood there, looking at Vincent, "Smoking is actually not good. Do you want to quit smoking?"

"I had problems with my stomach. I can't drink coffee to refresh myself. This is the only thing I can do." Vincent stood upright in front of the sink. Body relaxed, his two straight and slender legs casually leaned there, supporting his thin waist.

"How about I smoke it for you?" Emily suddenly asked.

Vincent was stunned for a long time before chuckling.

"You aren't in a good condition. But I am young, and I don't have any problems with my stomach. You could smell second-hand smoke... But it seems that second-hand smoke is also harmful..." Emily was chattering. Vincent suddenly pulled her into his arms. He held her chin and kissed her.

It was a very touching kiss. He kissed slowly and meticulously. The tip of his tongue swept through every corner of her mouth. Emily was so excited that goosebumps appeared all over her body. She felt weak. Her skin was covered with pink. It was like she was about to fall into a swamp in the next second, but she was willing to die for it.

"Vincent..." She still wanted to speak, but her voice was broken into pieces. "Vincent ... the dinner..."

Vincent thought that she was calling him, but then he knew she was caring about the supper. He immediately turned away and asked with a smile, "Supper? I'm eating it right now."

Emily was lost for words.

She pushed him out, "There are still a few documents that haven't been approved tonight. You eat first. I'm busy. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning. I have to get up early to prepare."

Vincent was pushed out. He happened to meet Susan who was carrying a cup of hot milk. She saw Vincent and Emily coming out of the bathroom. One of them was dressed in a suit and tie, and the other was in pink pajamas with messy hair and red lips.

The scene was strangely quiet for a moment.

"I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer. I came in..." After a long while, Susan put down the milk and took a few steps outside. She paused for a moment, then looked back at Vincent and asked softly, "Can we talk?"

Emily pulled Vincent's arm, not letting him move. She looked at Susan and said, "I know what you want to ask him. Nothing happened between us. It's just a relationship between a man and a woman. We don't have any plans to get married for the time being. Dad has gone. There are no elders in this family who care about me. You feel that you have the obligation to supervise me. But I am not a three-year-old child. I know the right and wrong and have the right to date a man."

This was the first time Susan had heard Emily speak so reasonably. She was stunned for a moment. But she was a little embarrassed when she thought of what she was going to say, "I'm sorry, Miss Emily. I just want to tell Mr. Vincent that if he comes next time, he can go to the front door. I don't know how he came up, but it's a little dangerous to climb the balcony window or something."

Words failed Emily.

Vincent pursed his lips into a smile and nodded at Susan. "Alright, I know."

"Then tonight you...?" Susan asked a little awkwardly.

Emily wanted to speak, but Vincent pinched her finger and said calmly, "I usually leave at around 1 am."

"Mr. Vincent, I believe that you won't abandon Miss Emily... But I still hope that you can treat her seriously. Miss Emily must like you very much, so she kept you from us for such a long time. But as elders, we... Can you understand? Mr. Maury just left, and we were all very worried about her. Although we were grateful that you comforted and accompanied her, but..." Susan couldn't continue. She turned around and wiped her tears. Then, she said to Emily," I'm sorry, Miss Emily... I know I'm a servant and shouldn't be so nosy. But I'm afraid that the gossip outside will hurt you. So, I hope that if Mr. Vincent really wants to continue developing this relationship, it's better to wait for a while to get engaged or something. At that time, you can enter and leave this house at will. "

"Okay, I know. Thank you for being so considerate of her." Vincent said as he nodded at Susan.

Susan hurriedly bowed. She knew Mr. Vincent had great abilities and status. She was very worried that Miss Emily would end up being dumped. There must be a lot of women around Mr. Vincent. Although she didn't know why he liked Miss Emily, she dared not to believe that he would like Miss Emily from the beginning to the end.

That would be too unrealistic.

Even an ordinary man of working-class would cheat, not to mention an outstanding man like Vincent.

Susan's worry wasn't unreasonable.

Emily understood her worry as an elder and said to her, "We will give you an answer in a while."

Susan knew that they were considering the engagement, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

But Emily didn't know that this promise was not fulfilled in the future 'period of time', and she wasn't able to wait for that so-called 'period of time'.
