Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 653
Emily took the subway back to the TV station, being preoccupied with her own thoughts. Anyway, she was just his wife on agreements, he didn't have to report to her whether he went on business trip or traveled abroad. What he did was perfectly justified!
Although she told herself this in her heart, when she stepped into the office building, she couldn't help but take out her cell phone.
She hesitated for a while on the word "Simon", and then she dialed the number subconsciously.
As she heard the beeping sound, she held her breath nervously.
He hadn't been picked up for a long time. At this time, the elevator door opened, and her colleague Tina was running out with two cameras on her shoulder. "Emily, you are back! Come on, our chief editor just gave me an urgent task. Come with me!"
"Okay!" Emily hung up the phone in a hurry and helped to pick up the camera.
The place of interview was set in a private place. The main task assigned to them was to interview an old painter of the contemporary art. Since it was a newly opened public welfare program, every departmen attached great importance to it. It took them a lot of effort to get the old painter agreed to be interviewed.
For inspiration, the old painter took an hour to boat on the lake every afternoon, so the interview was fixed on the boat.
Since the boat wasn't large and spacious, and the boatman could only agree for one more person added, Emily carried one camera. 'Til do it! Tina, you shoot us and scenery around on the shore for publicity!" "Okay!" Tina nodded.
After they clarified their own tasks, they officially stated the interview.
This place had a dense growth of evergreen trees. With breeze passing by, the lake glittered in the sunlight. Seeing from the shore, the scenery was incomparable. After they paddled out across the middle of the lake, they stopped with the best light, which was near to the opposite bank.
Half an hour later, Emily closed the microphone in her hand. "Okay, that's all. Mr. White, thank you for your cooperation!"
"My pleasure!" The old painter waved his hand with a smile.
"Ill put the machine away first, and then when we go back to the shore, could you please tape a short video for follow-up editing for me?" After saying that, Emily got up and tried to turn off the camera on the bow.
When she stood up again, she thought something on her had been scraped off. She moved slightly to figure out what it was, and then heard a very light "puff" sound. At the same time, tiny ripples quivered across the surface of the lake.
"Oh no!"
Emily couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Seeing this, the old painter bent over and asked with concern, "What happened? Did something fall off?"
When Emily just straightened up, she felt that her neck was strangled. So when she raised her hand and touched her neck again, her necklace was gone as expected. "My necklace..."
What she heard just now should be the sound of it falling into the lake.
"Give it up!" The old painter sighed, shook his head and said, "I lost a paintbrush a few days ago. It sank so I couldn't find it. It's my favorite. I hired people to salvage it for a whole afternoon, but... Oh my God, young girl!"
Under the shocked gaze of the old painter, Emily directly jumped into the lake.
"Plop -"
Water splashed onto the boat.
Tina, who was taking a photo with her coat on the shore, was scared and shouted loudly when she saw the scene in the camera, "Emily!"
They were pretty close and they often hung out together. Although Tina knew very well that she could swim, after all, this was not a swimming pool. No one knew how high the water level of the artificial lake was. It was still dangerous to jump down like this.
Tina nervously paced on the shore and watched. At this time, her mobile phone rang.
She looked down and saw that it was Emily's. The word "Simon" was shown on the screen. Tina was stunned for a moment. She didn't know who it was, but since her name had been recorded, the caller shouldn't be a stranger for Emily. She was afraid that it might be an important phone call, so she picked it up. "Are you looking for Emily? Her necklace is gone. She just jumped into the lake and picked it up..." Hearing from the phone, the male voice was a little deep. "Necklace, again?"
Tina was just about to ask who he was and if there was something she could tell to Emily, the next second she shouted in a low voice. "Ah! What should I do? She is drowning..."
Emily felt like she had lost all strength, and kept falling.
She couldn't control herself, no matter how hard she struggled and she couldn't shout out. Imagines rose before her. When her parents being sent to the hospital, she cried herself hoarse against the glass miserably, but her parents were lying there silently with their eyes closed...
As Emily was losing her consciousness, she could feel alternately hot and cold.
"Am I going to die?"
In a trance, she felt as if her father was holding her. In the distance, her parents looked like they were on her birthday. They were laughing and calling her with a necklace in their hands. "Baby, happy birthday!" Mom and Dad....
Emily slowly opened her eyes. She saw a white and shapeless mass, but the smell of disinfectant made her more conscious. She gradually recalled what had happened. When she put away the machine, her necklace accidentally fell into the lake. She wanted to jump down to look for it.
In fact, she was good at swimming, but she didn't expect that her right calf suddenly cramped...
Emily wanted to raise her hand, but she found that she was being held tightly by a big hand at this time. Along the thick palm, there was a strong arm, and she saw a pair of beautiful eyes.
Simon was wearing a dark gray suit with a striped tie. The collar of the white shirt inside was new. He looked exhausted. The sky outside had already failed, against the wall, he looked more serious. She couldn't help but be stunned.
The person who was least likely to appear sat in front of her. Emily lay there dumbly, swallowing hard so that she could be sure if she was still in a dream and what she saw was an illusion.
Tina, who was pouring water nearby, heard the sound, quickly put down her cup and ran over. "Emily, you've finally woken up. You've scared the sh*t out of me!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Emily blinked her eyes and slowly shook her head.
"Thank God!" Tina patted her chest, and also looked at the opposite side of the bed like her. She remembered that she almost called him Simon before. She explained awkwardly. "He called you, and I picked it up!"
Emily suddenly realized why he knew that she drowned...
But wasn't he supposed to be in Bayworth City?
Emily opened her mouth and uttered a word,
"You..."
