Chapter 176
Finally, David handed the report to her.
Eva opened it and discovered that it was indeed the same report Michael had mentioned, dated a month ago. Moreover, it was not an ordinary research report; many details were thoroughly investigated.
Upon finishing reading, Eva felt a huge sense of relief.
Fortunately, he had plans to develop abroad and it wasn’t because of her. This made her feel at ease.
“Thank you, I’ll give it back to you p>
Eva returned the research report to David.
“Ms. Hansen, don’t you need to take it back and examine it carefully p>
“No need, I’ve just looked through it p>
“Alright, if you need it, please send me a message, and I’ll bring it to you anytime p>
Peacefully, after bidding Eva farewell, David returned to his seat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked down at the research report in his hand, thinking about what Michael had said when he asked him to handle it. “Be thorough p>
“Thorough?” David didn’t fully grasp Michael’s meaning, so he couldn’t help but ask again, “Mr. Cooper, how thorough should I be p>
“As thorough as possible p>
After the research report was completed, it had been sitting with him for many days without being used. It wasn’t until today when Eva came to retrieve it that David suddenly understood why Michael had stressed the importance of being thorough.
It turned out, it was all for Eva.
And not just for her, but without letting her know.
David couldn’t help but sigh. Was this still the madman he knew? He was completely different from what he had imagined.
But a madman was still a madman. Even if he changed for someone, his nature wouldn’t change.
Thinking about Michael’s crazy methods in the past, David couldn’t help but shudder.
For a moment, he couldn’t determine whether it was lucky or unfortunate for Eva to be liked by Michael.
Ever since deciding to start her own company, Eva had been caught up in an extremely busy life.
Previously, she had time for naps, but lately, she couldn’t even spare time for a lunch break. She was even deprived of sleep at night. There were too many preparations to be made in advance, and she had pulled several all-nighters to complete the initial plan.
It was only today at noon that she finally had a chance to rest.
Coincidentally, Emily came looking for her.
They decided to have lunch together.
Seeing Eva’s exhausted face, Emily had been shaking her head helplessly, Eva said, “Even if I’m starting a company, I don’t have to let myself go like this. Have you looked in the mirror these past few days?” “What’s the point of looking in the mirror?” Eva nonchalantly took a sip of coffee and sighed. “Am I that free p>
“It’s not about being busy, sis. Even for work, you should still take care of your health and appearance, right p>
Emily looked Eva up and down, “Do you know how you look right now p>
Eva stared back at her.
Emily took a while to find words to describe her and finally pulled out a small mirror from her bag, handing it to Eva.
“I won’t say anything, see for yourself. It might be more intuitive that way p>
Eva had been so busy lately that all she wanted was a quiet meal. She never expected Emily to bring a mirror.
“Emily, stop joking around p>
But her words completely stopped when Emily handed her the mirror.
She looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, pausing.
“Is it Seeing Eva frozen, Emily couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you now see how you look p>
A few seconds later, Eva instinctively covered her face with her hand.
“I’ve lost my appearance p>
In the mirror just now, she had dark circles under her eyes, busy as she was, she hadn’t even put on makeup, and with lack of sleep, her complexion was pale.
Pale complexion paired with dark circles, and she had lost some weight.
Forget about others, even she herself was taken aback when she saw it. “Don’t tell me you’ve been like this at the company for several days.” Eva nodded seriously upon hearing that.
“Yes p>
Emily almost spat out the rice in her mouth. “It’s really true, huh p>
Seeing Eva’s dejected expression, Emily could only sigh. “It seems that those with high beauty are willful. Even if they disregard their own appearance, they’re still beauties p>
Actually, Eva’s current state was still okay in Emily’s eyes.
It was just that compared to her usual refined self, it looked terrible. Moreover, she was naturally beautiful, with good facial features and a good foundation, so the dark circles and pale complexion made her appear fragilely beautiful. Thinking of this, Emily couldn’t help but sigh.
A fair beauty looking haggard is still a beauty, but in her case… it would probably be a sight to behold.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Even if you’re starting a company, it’s impossible to finish everything in a few days. Give yourself some more time, even if it’s a bit later, it won’t make a big difference p>
“I know.” Eva nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself p>
Once the topic shifted to the company, Eva’s attention and focus quickly returned to it. She immediately started asking Emily about some matters that needed attention, completely putting the matter of her appearance behind. Emily saw her transform into a workaholic and knew that no matter what she said now, it wouldn’t be of any use, so she didn’t try to persuade her again.
In the end, the two turned their meal into a work discussion.
When they were about to leave, Emily realized that she hadn’t eaten much.
But she didn’t mind, as long as Eva was willing to take care of herself.
“Not a big deal, treated it as a weight-loss plan directly p>
“Have you been neglecting your two little darlings at home because of the company?” Eva felt guilty as she brought it up.
“Well, but Ruby and Dylan have been very well-behaved. I promised to take them to the amusement park once I’m done with work p>
“Amusement park? How about I take them there first p>
Upon hearing this, Eva looked at her with a skeptical gaze. “Do you have time p>
Emily raised an eyebrow. “Of course, I do p>
“Did you take time off p>
Emily smiled. “Yes, I did. It’s a rare opportunity, so I took three days off and moved to your place p>
Eva wasn’t too surprised by this since every time Emily had a vacation, she would come over and stay with her. Sometimes she would help take care of the children, sometimes she would cook for her. Their relationship had been stable for so many years.
“Alright, then just go straight to my place. I still have things to do, can you handle it yourself p>
“I can,” Emily waved at her. “If I can’t handle it, I’ll find someone to help me, okay? You go and get busy, don’t let it delay your money-making p>
“Sorry, Emily, I’ll be done soon p>
“Stop being sentimental, I’m waiting for you to make a lot of money and support me,” Emily pushed Eva away. “Go and earn money, I’ll take care of the kids p>
