Emily's verbal skills were not as strong as his; she was caught off guard by his arguments. In the end, she could only awkwardly say, "I just want to live an ordinary life with an ordinary person." "Who says you can't live an ordinary life with me?" Nathan stared at her, "Being with me, you have more choices. If you want to live an ordinary life, you can. If you're tired of an ordinary life, you can live a lavish one. Isn't experiencing both kinds of life good?"

Emily finally understood why he had achieved so much even though he came from nothing. This man was too formidable. Not only could he counter her every move, but he also threw out temptations during the process, aiming straight for her heart.

She bit her lower lip.

Nathan continued, "Am I wrong? Your life won't change because I have money or not. It all depends on your choices and plans. How would us being together affect that?"

Emily was speechless.

She stood there, watching as Nathan moved closer to her, his masculine pheromones slowly enveloping her.

"So, are you willing to consider it?"

As he moved closer, Emily instinctively retreated. The more he advanced, the more she retreated.

Eventually, her back hit the cold, hard wall. With nowhere else to retreat, Emily stopped.

She looked at Nathan in front of her, bewildered. She couldn't understand how Nathan, her former boss, could suddenly be pursuing her.

Was this really happening?

Or had she gone crazy after resigning and was hallucinating?

After thinking it over, Emily could only awkwardly smile at Nathan, "Um... Mr. Powell, are you finding it hard to accept that you've lost me as an employee and that's why you're doing this? Maybe you should take some time to cool off?" But Nathan looked at her with a piercing gaze.

"No need."

"I always know what I'm doing."

From a young age, Nathan had always been clear about what he wanted. When she was by his side, he was determined to have her and felt he could take his time.

But he didn't expect that she would leave one day, which naturally made him anxious.

"Although this is all a bit rushed, I need you to understand that what I've said and my feelings for you are real and genuine."

Emily stared at him blankly.

"Then, what is it?"

Could it be... he really had feelings for her?

"I've wanted you for a long time."

The man's deep voice left Emily completely stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

A long time?

It took Emily a long time to find her voice.

"But... why?"

"Why what?"

"Why would you..." Emily bit her lip and shook her head, "I don't understand; what about me is worth you wanting for a long time?"

As soon as her words fell, Emily saw the man in front of her chuckle.

"Emily, how little confidence do you have in yourself? Can't you see your own worth?"

"I... I of course know how good I am, but... don't rich people always marry for alliances? Like the business marriages on TV, where the male and female leads have powerful families supporting them. They join forces to take their companies to the next level."

In fact, having worked in the corporation for so many years, Emily had seen a lot of this.

Many people were born without control over their lives, and from a young age, they were instilled with a certain mindset. So, they could date and play around with whoever, but they couldn't fall in love.

No matter who they liked or what they did, they always had to return to a marriage alliance.

Even, Emily had seen many married men and women, each playing their own game, away from their spouses.

There was no affection between these husbands and wives, and they didn't care about loyalty.

So, she thought that Nathan would definitely end up in a marriage alliance.

But given his character of not touching any random woman, he probably wouldn't cheat. At least he would be loyal to his marriage.

At the time, she even wondered: if his marriage alliance partner was not loyal, as a man, could he accept it?

She just never expected him to pursue her.

"Strong alliances are indeed good for business development," Nathan said indifferently. "But I don't need it. I built my company from scratch and don't need any support. So, I will only marry a woman I love; I don't need a marriage alliance." Emily, who was originally lost in her thoughts, froze when she heard him say, "I will only marry a woman I love."

"You... What did you say?"

Nathan glanced at her.

"Didn't hear clearly? Shall I repeat it?"

"No, no need."

Although she was shocked, Emily felt she didn't have the courage to hear it again.

Her cheeks gradually turned pink, and soon, her ears and neck followed.

Although Nathan was usually a very reserved straight man, he quickly understood why she was blushing.

"You usually have a lot of confidence, don't you? It seems you can blush when you hear a confession."

The unexpected discovery of this side of her surprised Nathan.

In their days together, she never showed any femininity in front of him, which troubled Nathan for quite some time.

Although he was a straight man, he knew very well that if a woman had no hint of shyness in front of a man, it meant she had no inappropriate thoughts or feelings for him.

Or perhaps, she hadn't realized her feelings yet.

Thinking of this, Nathan lightly touched her forehead and said softly, "So you've realized."

"What? Who's blushing? You're the one blushing; I... I'm going to bed."

She was woken up early in the morning for a blind date, so she hadn't had enough sleep. And here she was, standing here talking for so long with dark circles under her eyes. "Okay, go to sleep. Let me know your answer when you wake up."

"What?"

"You didn't object just now; doesn't that mean you agreed to consider it?"

"I... I haven't agreed yet."

"I know, but you're going to consider it, right? Go to sleep first; we'll talk when you wake up."

His voice returned to its usual stern tone.

Upon hearing his tone and voice, Emily felt as if she had received a new work order.

Perhaps it was a habit ingrained in her body over many years that made her subconsciously nod, then turn around and stagger back to her room.

Before closing the door, she looked at Nathan.

"Then... you should go back first."

"Okay."

After confirming he would leave, Emily closed the door, and the next second, she rushed into the bathroom to carefully check herself in the mirror. After frantically checking for two minutes, Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness! She had no eye boogers.

If she found out that she had been talking to Nathan for so long with eye boogers on her face, she would really wish to die on the spot.
