Chapter 169
Upon hearing this, the smile on Eva’s lips faded slightly. She turned off the faucet and put on her dishwashing gloves. “Look at you, every time I mention coming back to the country, you fall silent p>
Emily was clearly annoyed by her silence. “I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. So many years have passed, even if you had an agreement with her back then, it should be over by now, right?” Eva remained silent.
Emily continued, “The industry isn’t doing well abroad now. It’s booming in our country, and the company that invited you is one of the best in the nation p>
“It’s such a good position. If it weren’t for your exceptional skills, they would have been snatched away long ago. Do you know that they even called me and asked me to persuade you? Their company doesn’t want to miss out on excellent talent p>
Finally, Eva couldn’t help but chuckle. “So? Did their company promise you any benefits in return? That’s why you’re so eager to convince me p>
“Don’t suspect me!” Emily huffed, “Am I that kind of person? I’m considering the high salary and better future prospects in that profession for you, that’s why I came to persuade you. It’s definitely not because they promised me any benefits, even though the benefits they promised me are indeed quite good p>
“So, what benefits did they promise you p>
Emily sighed, “Well…they didn’t promise me much, just a small favor. If you join and successfully work there for a year, they’ll give me a bonus based on your annual salary p>
Eva laughed, “The Davis Group is indeed generous p>
“Yeah, The Davis Group is very impressive. And I heard their CEO is young, handsome, and still single. This time, he specifically sent you the invitation. Last time, he even wanted to meet you in person, but you weren’t interested at all.” “I’m so busy with work, and I have to take care of the two little darlings at home. When do I have time to p>
“So much time to meet with a man p>
“That’s right.” When mentioning her two little treasures, Emily softened a lot.
“What about Ruby and Dylan p>
“They’re both in the living room p>
“Even if you want to take care of everything yourself, you don’t have to do everything by yourself. At least find someone to help you with cooking p>
“I still want to cook personally. As for the housekeeping, didn’t we hire a maid p>
“But cooking alone consumes a lot of your energy p>
“Emily p>
Eva suddenly called her name with a quiet yet powerful voice. “Which mother doesn’t consume energy? But as long as I’m willing and feel happy myself, then everything is worth it, isn’t it p>
Upon hearing this, Emily fell silent for a moment before saying, “According to your perspective, you’re right. But I haven’t been a mother yet, so I can’t understand you. Let’s discuss this topic in detail after I get married and have children in the future p>
Eva smiled and didn’t say anything further.
However, Emily didn’t let her off so easily.
“Alright, you’re not going to the Davis Group because of that agreement with Vivian, right? Seriously, the Davis Group isn’t even in New York. What are you afraid of p>
Emily persistently pestered Eva, leaving her no choice but to say, “It’s not because of her p>
“If it’s not because of Vivian, then what is it? I really can’t think of any other reason p>
“It’s because I want to start my own company, Emily p>
“Huh?” Emily thought she misheard, “Start a company p>
“I was originally planning to tell you later when it’s more concrete. After all, it’s still in the preparation stage, and I don’t even know if it will become a reality p>
“Ah ah ah ah.” Emily screamed on the other end of the phone.
Eva was glad that she had turned up the volume beforehand, otherwise her eardrums would have suffered.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you want to start a company? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have asked you to go to the Davis Group. What high-paying job, specially reserved for you? Opening your own company is much more liberating p>
“It hasn’t been finalized yet. If I said it and then it didn’t succeed, wouldn’t it disappoint people p>
“What is there to be disappointed about? I wouldn’t be disappointed. Throughout your life, what have you wanted to do that has failed, Eva? You can do it p>
Emily continuously cheered her on, and Eva’s lips curled up as she listened.
“Thank you for your praise, but I’ve also failed many times. Just keep trying, right p>
“Then work hard, and when your company succeeds, I’ll come over and secure a high-level position p>
“Alright, I’ll save a position specifically for you, okay p>
“That’s more like it, don’t give it to others p>
The two of them continued to chat aimlessly, and when Eva finished washing the dishes, Emily hung up the phone.
After tidying up the kitchen, Eva prepared to take a nap.
Before her lunch break, she reminded herself.
After giving a few instructions to the two children, she went to the bedroom to rest.
Before falling asleep, Eva checked her TikTok account and noticed that NightA had not replied to her message. She didn’t think much of it and quickly put her phone down to rest.
Eva only had twenty minutes for a nap, and every minute was precious to her. Soon after lying down, she quickly fell asleep.
In the presidential suite, when the server came to deliver the meal, she couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the man sitting on the sofa, exuding an aura of wealth and power. After Jacob instructed her to place the food on the table, he dismissed the server and then called Adrian.
“Mr. Blackwood, lunch is ready here p>
“Mmm p>
Though he replied with a low voice, he remained seated on the sofa, focused on his work. Jacob watched him silently, understanding that Adrian was a workaholic who preferred not to be interrupted while working.
If it hadn’t been past lunchtime for too long, Jacob wouldn’t have arranged for the meal at that moment.
A few minutes passed, and Jacob ultimately couldn’t resist reminding him.
“Mr. Blackwood, if you don’t eat soon, the food will get cold p>
As soon as the words left his mouth, Adrian shot him a sharp glance resembling an arrow. Jacob was instantly intimidated and dared not move. Without saying anything else, he turned and left the room.
Adrian pursed his lips and continued with his work. It took quite a while before he finished the task at hand. Jacob, seeing this, hurried over to clean up after him. He noticed that Adrian had forgotten his phone when he stood up, so he handed it to him.
“Mr. Blackwood, your phone p>
Taking the phone, Adrian thought of that message. Since the heartless woman had left him five years ago, his life had been nothing but work. The remaining time was spent watching this lively pair of little darlings’ livestream. As to why, even he couldn’t explain it clearly. Perhaps he found the kids adorable, and their laughter and words could dispel the darkness in his heart.
