Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 149
Emelia drove back in David's car. David was more talkative, so they had a good chat.
Although David and Maisie were twins, their personalities were completely different.
Maisie's personality was extremely slow, warm, and calm. David, on the other hand, was much more open and outgoing. Thus, even though both of them were working beside Julian, the contents of their responsibilities were completely different.
Most of the time, David would attend social activities, and occasionally, Maisie would be needed.
When Emelia got home, he tidied up a little and received a call from Arthur. Arthur said on the phone that he would come to help her look at the computer. This was a big deal, so Emelia quickly agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Arthur arrived. He took off his white coat and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At this time, he looked a little like a high-tech elite.
After Arthur skillfully operated it, he proudly showed off to Emelia. "Now your computer is as impenetrable as the Pentagon. Generally speaking, hackers can't get in anymore. Free of worries."
"Thank you so much." Emelia thanked him. After thinking for a while, she said, "By the way, you remember Dr. Jean Hilgard who did a therapy for me last time? I'll treat you two to dinner some other day."
Emelia thought that the doctor was recommended by Arthur anyway. They must be familiar with each other, so it was not a big deal to invite them to dinner together.
Unexpectedly, Arthur almost blew water. "No! Don't let me stay with her."
Emelia was confused. "What's wrong? Aren't you colleagues?"
Arthur said bitterly, "I don't get along with her."
"Oh, okay." Emelia did not force Arthur. "In that case, I'll invite her alone."
While speaking, Emelia grabbed his bag and was about to leave. "Let's go. It's noon now. I'll treat you to lunch."
Unexpectedly, Arthur refused to move awkwardly.
"When are you going to invite her? Let me see if I have time, so you don't have to invite us twice alone. You are also a busy person."
Emelia couldn't help but laugh. "What's the grudge between you and her? You're going back on your word. On the contrary, you seem to care about her very much."
"Who cares about her? Don't talk nonsense!" Arthur was in a hurry to deny her words.
"I heard that you've got the job of adapting Vincent's new book. I just want to save time for you, alright?" Arthur ordered her again, "Call her first and ask when she'll be free. Maybe I have to work overtime when she is free."
Emelia had no choice but to listen to him. She took out her phone and called Jean.
The two of them had a pleasant chat last time when Jean had helped her treat her. Jean smiled on the phone, "You don't have to do this, Ms. Jones. It's our duty to serve the patient, but I heard that you know Harry Zink. I wonder if you could get his signature?"
"You want Harry Zink's signature?" Emelia readily agreed. "No problem..."
Before Emelia could finish his words, his phone was rudely snatched away by Arthur. Emelia was shocked.
Arthur shouted at the phone angrily, "Dr. Hilgard, if I remember it correctly, you are 30 years old this year, aren't you? Don't you feel ashamed that an old woman in her thirties is coveting as a 20-year-old young man?"
Emelia didn't know what to say to this.
In the past, she thought that Julian's words were not pleasant to hear, and she used to think that Arthur was sensible and calm. Why did he say something so unpleasant now?
To tell a girl that she was an old woman in her thirties. He's gonna be single forever.
However, Jean didn't sound like she was angry on the phone. Emelia stood by the side and vaguely heard Jean reply to Arthur with a chuckle, "What's there to be ashamed of? Many men like young girls, so what's wrong with 30-year-old women wanting young boys?"
"Ridiculous!" Arthur was so irritated that his face turned red. With a sneer, he hung up the phone.
Emelia raised her hand to pinch her forehead and said to Arthur with a headache, "Doctor Hudgens, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to treat her like that just now?"
"Besides, she just said that she wanted a signature." Emelia's words stopped at the right time. She was too embarrassed to criticize Arthur for saying any unpleasant words.
Arthur said angrily, "What do you mean by just asking for an autograph? I think she just wants to flirt with him!"
Emelia spread out his hands and said, "Dr. Hilgard seems to be single, right? To put it bluntly, what does it matter even if she wants to flirt with Harry Zink? Don't tell me she seem to have done something outrageous?"
Arthur was speechless by Emelia's calm question.
Emelia added, "You're so angry because you like Doctor Song, right?"
Arthur's performance was abnormal. If Emelia couldn't sense anything, it would be too slow.
"I-" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Arthur's handsome face. Then he grabbed his computer bag and said to Emelia in a hurry, "I'm leaving. You can go."
Emelia said hurriedly, "I still have to treat you to dinner."
"I've got my bag. Is he going to leave now?"
"No, it's no big deal." Arthur said that he as left, so Emelia had to give up.
There was no need for dinner. Emelia didn't want to go out and eat, so she ordered a takeout for himself.
While waiting for the delivery, Emelia called Jean again.
Emelia said apologetically, "Dr. Hilgard, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Dr. Hudgens to take my phone away."
Emelia then explained the whole thing to Jean. Jean said calmly, "It's all right."
Emelia thought for a moment and asked, "Between you and him?"
Jean didn't hide anything and told her the truth. "When I was studying abroad, I slept with him several times. I forgot it a long time ago, but he seemed to have a lot of opinions on me."
Emelia opened her mouth in surprise, but she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Were all the people living abroad so open?
Could she forget Arthur after sleeping a few times?" And Arthur doesn't seem to be such an unforgettable man, does he?"
Arthur was tall and handsome, and his temperament was also extraordinary. It was said that he was a genius when he was studying. How could Jean forget such a man so easily?
Seeming to have sensed Emelia's surprise, Jean explained with a smile, "To be honest, I slept with with him at that time just because I felt that I had buried myself in books for so many years and was still a virgin. So I found a man who seemed nice in all aspects to have a try."
"And at that time, we will graduate very soon. After graduation, we will definitely go our separate ways and forget about each other." Speaking of this, Jean was also a little helpless. "Who could have thought that I would run into him again after I settled down and found a hospital to work?"
"I see." Emelia murmured to herself.
Therefore, Jean really just wanted to have fun with Arthur, but Arthur took it seriously. lightnoveldaily.com
