Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 591 What Makes You Less Suitable?
She took long strides, and she almost reached her room when her arm was suddenly grabbed.
"Hold on."
The stern voice came from behind her. It was Nathan.
Because he was holding her arm, Emily couldn't move forward. She had to stop, but she didn't turn her head.
"Mr. Powell, if I remember correctly, I've already resigned. If you want to rehire me, you should go through the proper channels, not come to my house and chase me upstairs. What are you trying to do?" There was silence behind her for a moment, then his deep voice rang out again.
"You already know what I'm trying to do, don't you?"
After saying that, he paused, then added, "Or do you want me to say it again in front of you?"
His response made Emily realize something. She quickly interrupted him before he could speak. "No need!"
Her anxious attitude made Nathan frown slightly, and he took a few steps closer.
"Why are you so resistant?"
Why was she so resistant?!
Emily forced a smile, answering helplessly, "Don't you know why I'm so resistant, Mr. Powell?"
"I don't."
"Because we are from two different worlds."
"Oh?" This statement made Nathan raise an eyebrow, "Which planet do you live on?"
Emily suddenly turned her head to look at him, but realizing she hadn't washed her face since she woke up, she quickly turned her head back.
"You know what I mean."
"What do you mean?" Nathan squinted his eyes, "Since we live on the same planet, how can we come from two different worlds?"
"Are you playing dumb or are you really dumb? I don't believe you don't understand what I mean. The people you meet in your world, and the people I meet in mine are different; how we view our jobs is different; our entire worldview is different."
After Emily said all this, Nathan fell silent for a long time.
She guessed that he must have taken her words to heart, so she didn't need to say anything else, right?
Just as she was about to leave, the man behind her suddenly spoke.
"Why can't you look at me when you talk?"
Emily didn't know what to say...
Nathan grabbed her shoulder, trying to turn her around to face him.
Realizing what he was about to do, Emily immediately tensed up and hurriedly covered her face with her hands. "Let go of me."
Nathan felt puzzled. What was she doing?
"Why are you covering your face? Even if you want to reject me, you don't have to avoid seeing my face, do you?"
Emily didn't know what to do; she only cared about covering her face, making sure he didn't see her unwashed appearance, "Who doesn't want to see your face? I don't want you to see my face; I haven't washed my face since I woke up this morning."
After her words fell, the grip on her shoulder loosened slightly, and after a while, she heard Nathan's low chuckle.
"What are you afraid of? I've seen you at your worst."
Huh? What was he talking about?
"When you used to work overtime and sometimes fell asleep in the office, didn't you still work when you woke up?" "Are we in the past? I used to see you as my boss, but now..."
Emily abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
"What about now?"
"Now you're not my boss anymore?"
Emily, who had been covering her face, suddenly calmed down. She simply put her hand down and looked at him calmly.
"You're not my boss anymore."
Their eyes finally met.
In Nathan's eyes, Emily looked exactly the same as she did when she came to work without makeup.
Indeed, as her blind date said, she looked good even without makeup.
"I suppose you heard everything I just said. No matter how many times I have to say it, it's always the same. You should go home."
"You think I'm not from the same world as you. Then who is from your world? Your blind date?"
In Emily's eyes, Nathan had always been a stern and serious boss, always serious and rarely smiling. He always had a solemn expression no matter what he did or said.
So, she subconsciously thought he was the type to always have the same expression no matter what he did or said.
But she didn't expect to hear a hint of sarcasm in his tone today.
When she looked at him, she even saw a touch of helplessness in his eyes.
"This blind date wasn't great, I admit that. But since this one won't work, I'll just try again on the next one. I can keep going until I find the right guy."
Nathan asked, "What's wrong with me?"
He pursed his thin lips, looking at her stubbornly, "What makes me less suitable than the ideal husband you envision?"
"Mr. Powell, I think you misunderstood. I never said you were bad; I just said we're not from the same world. Look, you're so rich, and my family is so poor. Even if we don't eat or drink and save money for a lifetime, the money we save will never be as much as you make with a stroke of your pen on a contract, right?"
"So?" Nathan looked indifferent, "Does that affect me being with you? What's the reason? Just because I have more money?"
For a moment, Emily didn't know how to answer him.
"I thought that was a plus," Nathan said again.
Hearing this, Emily pursed her lips, unable to refute.
Yes, having money was definitely a plus. But having too much money was not a plus for her; it was pressure, a burden.
Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile slowly crossed her lips.
"Of course it's a plus, but this advantage is based on both parties. If I were a rich young lady, and my spending habits were the same as yours, I would definitely not refuse."
However, Nathan was indeed a self-made man.
No matter what Emily said, he always had something to refute her point of view.
"This doesn't affect me eating at a street stall with you, nor does it affect you having a candlelight dinner with me in a high-end restaurant."
Emily was left speechless yet again.
"Forgot? After getting off the plane last time, you said you wanted to eat street stall food."
How could Emily forget?
On the way to the hotel, she saw a street stall on the side of the road. She wanted the driver to drop her off, send Nathan back first, and then she would go eat street food and return after eating. Unexpectedly, Nathan actually got out of the car with her and sat with her on the roadside in a suit, without any fuss.
She was shocked for a long time, asking him why he could stay in such an environment.
But Nathan just shot back with a lukewarm response.
"Why not? Do you know what environment I experienced before establishing the company?"
Even now, Nathan was still telling her the same thing.
"I was not born rich. I've experienced everything you have. I'm older than you, and I've experienced even more. So why do you completely reject me just because I am financially better off now?"
