Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 382: Is He Kind to You

For more than a month, Emily didn’t show up.

However, she was involved in all major decisions of the September Company.

In fact, Hunter just didn’t allow her to leave the WongRiver Pavilion, as for what she did, Hunter wouldn’t interfere. Especially recently, Hunter seemed to be very busy. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

When he was busiest, he only went back one night a week.

Without Hunter, Emily had plenty of time.

Sometimes, she would have a video conference with others until two or three o’clock in the morning.

In short, she had never delayed her work in the September Company.

“Last year’s performance report came out. Our loss is currently under 45%.”

When Lois received the report, she immediately reported it to Emily.

“But don’t worry. We established the company in the second half of the year. We still have half a year. We will definitely be able to control our losses to within 30%.”

This was the new performance report!

Emily looked at the report all afternoon and analyzed the losses with others.

However, the company's business is already moving in a positive direction and the losses have dwindled.

In another half a year, they might be able to keep it within 20%.

Some projects had already been profitable!

“The animation of the “Rebirth of the Goddess” is being planned. However, Emily, I still want to ask carefully for your opinion on this.”

Lois had estimated the cost. But she was a little uncertain.

“The production of this animation project would be very long. It will take at least two years. But the live- action version of “My Mysterious Husband” can be completed next year.”

“Emily, are you sure you want to launch the project of the “Rebirth of the Goddess”?”

Animation might make a lot of money, but it could also cost the company dearly.

“This may be our last straw at this critical moment.”

Emily took out another report. “I said before that I wanted to keep the cost of the “Rebirth of the Goddess” out of budget.”

“I understand what you mean. In this way, even if we lose money, it won’t affect the entire profit plan.”

Lois was still a little worried, “But this will increase our cost burden.”

Their agreement with Henry was to make a profit of 30% within three years.

It was not easy for a media company.

“Then let’s pretend that we’ve lost the money. Don’t put it in the budget.”

Lois didn’t say anything, and others also fell silent.

It was really hard.

However, wasn’t difficulty also a kind of motivation?

“Alright! Then let’s do as you plan. We will pretend that we’ve already lost that 100 million.”

“Not 100 million, it is 50 million.” Emily looked at Aryan and said, “Anyway, save the remaining 50 million for me.”

“Emily, this is too hard for Aryan!” How could Aryan think of a way to save 50 million in labor costs?

However, Aryan nodded and looked at Emily firmly.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely save these 50 million cost in two years.”

“You’re going to kill yourself!” Lois felt distressed.

Aryan smiled, “If I don’t struggle when I’m young, am I going to struggle when I’m old?”

He was afraid that after he got old, he wouldn’t have this chance again.

These words were truly irrefutable.

“Alright, let’s settle the project for the “Rebirth of the Goddess”.”

Emily opens another proposal, “As for “My Mysterious Husband”, since we have chosen actors, let’s launch it early this year.”

They had an afternoon meeting in the office that day.

At six o’clock in the evening, everyone was tired but excited and came out of the meeting room.

Videoconferencing was still not as profound as live meetings.

A meeting made everyone see Emily’s charm as a manager once again.

She was very decisive, rational, and even willful!

This willfulness, which relied on reason, could, on the contrary, arouse everyone’s enthusiasm.

The road ahead was arduous and full of difficulties. But it was also a completely new challenge.

They all went back to pack their things and prepared to go out for dinner.

Emily had nothing to pack. She hadn’t worked here for more than a month.

She planned to wait for them in the lobby on the first floor. Unexpectedly, when she arrived on the first floor and the elevator door opened, she suddenly saw a slender figure.

Emily was shocked. Looking at his face that was clearly colder and more solemn than before, she could not react.

She even forgot that she should get out of the elevator first.

If she didn’t get out, the people standing outside the elevator couldn’t get in.

After sometime, the elevator door was automatically closed.

When she could no longer see this figure, Emily suddenly woke up.

Emily wanted to press the button to open the elevator door again, but it was too late.

The moment she thought that she would take the elevator upstairs, the elevator door opened again.

It was him who was outside and pressed the button to open the door.

“I, I’m sorry …”

Emily lowered her head and quickly walked out of the elevator.

She had thought that Henry would go in. But unexpectedly, he still stood there and looked at her.

The elevator door was closed. Someone wanted to use it upstairs, and the elevator went up.

Emily was a little uneasy. She wanted to leave, but she couldn’t take a step forward.

Henry did not enter the elevator either, but continued to look at her without saying a word.

Finally, Emily took a deep breath and looked up to meet his gaze.

She smiled faintly and asked, “Long time no see. How are you?”

“Not good.”

“…” He said “not good” so seriously that it made her feel sad.

But it was all over.

Even if things weren’t going well, they still had to go on.

“I’m taking the exam today and drop in. In the evening …”

She paused for a moment before saying, “I’m going back later.”

Seeing that the elevator was parked on the eighth floor, Emily knew that her companions would be coming down soon.

She forced a smile and looked at him, “I have to go. You … take good care of yourself.”

His eyes were a little hollow, and he was still very handsome. But he made her feel sad.

She turned around and was about to leave while Henry caught her by wrist suddenly and pulled her back.

“Henry ...” Emily was shocked. The elevator was on the eighth floor and was descending.

They were coming. At this time, Emily did not want to cause any more trouble in front of her companions.

She didn’t want to worry anybody else.

“Henry, it’s time for me to go back.”

Emily accentuated the word “go back”.

He was clever. So, he must know what she meant.

She had been following Hunter for more than a month.

Even if he hadn’t seen with his own eyes what Hunter had done to her in the past month, Henry could imagine it.

So, why did he still care about such a woman who lived by another man’s side all the time?

“Henry, could you please just let me go? Lois and the others are coming soon.”

Emily seemed to be pleading. She had made an appointment with Lois and the others to go out for dinner later.

They were almost there.

Henry did not let go of her. Instead, he grabbed her wrist more tightly.

“Is he kind to you?” he asked expressionlessly.
