Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 226 Scared of Her own Beauty

You can fall in love freely.

Sounds pretty good.

But she was dumped, shouldn’t she feel sad?

Sally looked stunned but Joe was thrilled.

“So, I can pursue you from now on, right?”

He felt the chills on his neck, just like the way Terry’s cold eyes made him felt like.

Joe faked a smile and said, “Oh well, I was kidding. I don’t like Emily at all.”

“Am I that unattractive?” Emily got off from the folding bed and glared at him.

“No, I mean…Um, I am just not that into you.”

Joe faked a smile and stepped back quickly.

Of course, he liked her. She was a good friend of his, how could he hate her?

The problem is he didn’t dare to.

Everyone knew he didn’t dare to do anything because Terry was protective of Emily.

After all, Sally was prettier than Emily, wasn’t she?

Even if he intended to hit on friends, he should be doing that to Sally.

Emily looked a bit hard to play up to.

Emily walked to the bathroom, closed the door and saw her messed-up face in the mirror.

She didn’t know what she did last night, but the freckles made her face look dirty.

But these freckles…

She raised her hand and stroked across her face.

Cosmetics were always harmful to the skin. To be honest, she hated what was on her face.

With a light sigh, she cleaned up her face with the cleansing foam.

“Sally, bring me some clothes.” She called out from the inside.

“Okay.” They got everything at the office because they often worked overtime.

Sally gave her the clothes and heard the showers.

She looked at the closed bathroom door then turned to Terry.

“She called me last night so I brought her here afterwards.”

“Nothing special happened?”

Sally wanted to ask Emily and Hunter, but Terry blushed.

He walked to the window and glanced at the view outside, avoiding her gaze.

“We had some drinks then slept until dawn.”

Of course Emily was the one who slept.

He got up from her body after hearing the words “Hunter” came from her mouth.

His mind was occupied with her breath and hazy drunk eyes all night long. But he couldn’t help to think of the name she called out.

Just like that, he sat there in silence all night.

Sally and Joe looked at each other. She still wanted to ask, but he waved his hands right after to stop her.

“Well, Emily already decided to break up with Mr. Jackson in two years. We are just a bit ahead of schedule now.”

Joe giggled. There was no need to ask since whatever happened already happened.

It was obvious that Emily was upset. But nobody knew how upset she was exactly.

Let time heal everything.

Selfishly speaking, Joe wanted Emily to be with Terry.

They knew each other too well after being friends over the years.

He could vouch for Terry that he would definitely take care of Emily if she picked him.

So wouldn’t she be happier with Terry?

These were just secrets between the boys. Even Sally knew nothing about it.

Disclosing it once was enough.

Someone opened the door and Lois walked in not long after.

“Oh there you guys are. I was going to call and make an appointment first.”

“Well, where is Emily?” Lois said with a big smile. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“In the shower.” Sally pointed at the bathroom.

“I got a call from the Sharp Group this morning. They asked us to talk about signing the contract and they specifically want Emily to be there.”

“Is it going to be signed this soon?” Sally and Joe exclaimed in surprise.

Terry also turned around and looked at Lois.

This was Emily’s dream. She said she will make September Studio prosperous.

It would be like a magical step forward if they could sign the contract with the Sharp Group.

“I know! That’s why I came over right after I received the call.”

They could tell she literally rushed over here because of her rapid breath.

“A long delay may cause troubles. So, we should sign it as soon as possible.”

After all, they never did business with such a big company. Having a studio small like theirs, there was nothing they could do if the Sharp Group suddenly changed their mind, right?

With that said, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a girl walked out.

Emily was still carrying a vapor of water all over her body because of the shower. Her wet long hair was dripping water, creating a misty color.

She wiped her hair with a towel while coming out of the bathroom.

The four people in the lounge all fixed their eyes on her face. No one could look away even just for a moment.

What a beauty!

No, she is like a fairy!

The freckles were all gone and her face were clean and delicate. She looked like she was blushing because of the hot shower.

Her eyes looked even brighter under the long eyelashes. Her skin set off her eyes which were already gorgeous.

Her lips were pink as if a fresh fragile rose and were bouncy like a freshly opened jelly.

Without freckles, her facial features were like a masterpiece, exquisitely gorgeous.

Her beauty was breathtaking that you couldn’t look away.

“Who… are you?” Lois couldn’t help to take two steps forward. She was tempted to get closer but panicked at the same time.

She was way more beautiful than Wendy Gale. Do they know each other?

But they said Emily was the girl who was taking a shower inside…

“Are you blind, Lois? Can’t you recognize me?”

Emily looked at her. There was no longer any pain from last night, only pure calmess as if nothing could scare her.

It seemed like the shower had given her a new life.

“Oh wow, you really are Emily! Emily Gale!”

Lois was so surprised.

God, it was really Emily Gale, the hideous gal everyone knew of!

How could this be real? Did the ugly duckling become the swan?

“Did you have a plastic surgery?” Lois still found it unbelievable.

“Emily didn’t have a plastic surgery. Maybe she had a treatment of cosmetology.”

Sally was also completely dumbfounded. But if Emily had cosmetology, why were there freckles on her face before she took the shower?

What is more, rumors said freckles couldn’t be completely removed. There would be some marks left after the treatment.

Where are the so-called marks on Emily’s face?

Her face was simply perfect, without any flaws.

Joe finally gathered his thoughts, “I think Emily’s concern is that her beauty might cause wars so…”

He exhaled out of relief and concluded, “So the freckles were cosmetic used to make yourself look ugly, right?”
