A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily didn't think that Victor had a crush on her, but she still wanted to clarify the matter and keep her distance from him.

During the following noon, Emily was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. The girl stretched a bit her long and thin arms, laid her head on the office desk and fell asleep almost immediately. At the same time, without her noticing, someone pushed the door of her office open and got inside.

Victor was standing in front of the desk, looking at Emily. His upper lip trembled slightly. In his eyes, there were no emotions.

After a little while, Victor got closer to Emily in the intent to wake her up. He tapped her face with his finger,"Emily?"

Not getting any answers, Victor decided it was better for him to leave since she must have been very tired to be sleeping like that. So, he took off his coat and gently covered Emily's body. Then he left and slowly closed the door.

"Pa!" When the door closed, Emily woke up and her eyes were lucid and very emotional.

When she was fully awake then realized that Victor called her name. At first, she thought that the voice, so gentle and pleasant, was coming from a dream.

Victor... What did that mean?

Emily licked her lips and took off the coat from her back. Her expression was a mixture of contrasting sentiments.

Soon was evening, and as always, Emily was the last to leave the company, and so was Victor. The two people met in the hallway.

"Mr. Victor, you forgot your coat." After a few seconds of hesitation, she timidly handed the coat to him and then said,"You did not have to do it, Mr. Victor. You should have just woke me up."

The man took the coat from her hands. His expression was as cold as a snow mountain.

He folded the coat over his lower arm, then chuckled and asked,"You didn't like it?"

Emily said without any further hesitation,"I didn't like it."

Victor was struck by her coldness,"I don't believe you."

Her big eyes flashed with surprise and
