I want you

9 Episode

Michael left around three in the morning, and Emily knew about it because she was still awake at that time. He must have been called away, leaving in a hurry, and he stayed in the living room for two minutes doing something she didn't know about. After he left, Emily went out to take a look and found a note he had left behind.

The note was written in clear and forceful italic penmanship, stating nothing more than a time and the reason for his departure. He had gone out on official business, called away by a phone call, and he told her the time he would be back, presumably so she could prepare meals and get washing supplies and changed clothes ready. Emily put the note away, decided not to sleep anymore, tied on an apron, and began the big cleanup for the next day.

By around five in the morning, Emily had spotless the entire villa. Before, because Michael was there, she didn't clean the second floor very carefully. But now, as his full-time housekeeper, she naturally couldn't slack off on her duties to her master.

After cleaning, Emily went to the kitchen and neatly prepared everything needed for breakfast. At six o'clock, she changed her clothes, tied a scarf, and went out.

Emily left the villa area and took a long route to a snack street to buy fresh and clean soy milk and fried dough sticks. When she carried them back home, her hands were frozen purple. Fortunately, the house was warm with air conditioning, and she put the things away and rubbed her hands for a long time before she recovered.

It's just the beginning of November, and the heating is still a few days away, but the weather is already very cold. In recent years, the weather in Ocean City has become more and more extreme. Emily felt that her windbreaker was no longer enough to keep her warm, and it seemed she had to wash that overcoat as soon as possible.

She put the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the dining table to keep them warm. Emily pinned her hair back with a hairpin, tied it to an apron again, and started to make breakfast. The process of making breakfast was not simple. Michael had a picky appetite, and she dared not be negligent.

While cooking, Emily thought back to last night's events. Now she regretted it even more. She was too impulsive last night. It seemed that Michael had no intention of firing her, but that didn't mean he wouldn't have that idea when he came back. Although she accidentally fell last night, leading to the latter situation, she was the one who took the initiative to kiss him.

What a headache. How could she be so impulsive? She had only known him for one day and did such a thing. Emily wondered if she was a bit mentally abnormal due to the long-term suppression of her emotions, which made her lose her mind as soon as she met a decent partner.

No, she must not be like this again. Emily silently warned herself in her heart that she must not repeat yesterday's mistake and must keep a distance from Michael, as public and official as possible. Otherwise, if he fires her again because of this, it would be too much of a loss.

So, when Michael came back home after a busy night, he found that Emily, who was "enthusiastic" a bit too much last night, suddenly became much more distant towards him. She handed everything over to him and then went back to her room without saying a word, leaving him a bit confused and unable to adapt emotionally.

He was scared by her last night. On the way back, he was always thinking about how to deal with this matter, whether to fire her or to have a good talk with her. Anyway, he had to find a way to deal with it. But when he came back, he found that she had unilaterally solved the problem for him, as if nothing had happened. Emily is now absolutely a qualified and excellent housekeeper, impeccable, without any flaws.

Breakfast was a full variety and delicious, but Michael was a bit tasteless. He ate a few mouthfuls and then stopped eating. He rubbed his forehead, and there was some cyanosis under his eyes.

Emily calculated the time accurately and guessed that he would not eat much. At this time, she just opened the door and went out. Without looking at him, she put a bottle of eye glue next to him as she passed by, then silently started to clean up, with her slender willow eyebrows raised and drooping at the corners, her eyes hanging down, fully focused on the housework such as washing dishes and wiping the table.

Emily is a very smart girl. She undoubtedly has a very thorough understanding of life and emotions.

She has very direct goals but lives very unhappily.

A girl in her twenties, at the best time of her life, should enjoy her youth without worrying about anything, but she has lost all her relatives and lives a hard life alone in this materialistic and worldly society. She is turning from an innocent and ignorant girl into a woman full of holes at an incredible speed, which he noticed when he first saw her at the funeral home.

Michael heard from Captain Johnson about some things about Emily. He knew that her whole family died in gang fights and retaliation, and her uncle left her when she was very young to go undercover for the Trinity Organization. This gang checks the household registration books and contact books of its younger brothers every once in a while, so Howard has basically not been in contact with Emily for more than ten years. The police can't take care of her too obviously, otherwise, it would only put Howard and Emily in a more dangerous place. So, she has probably been alone all these years.

It is understandable that she is indifferent and has no rules about her emotions, and it is also acceptable that she is good at calculating and being worldly. This is because the experiences that made her such a person are unbearable. However, at this moment, he cannot objectively understand her current appearance.

She was the one who acted impulsively, but now she refuses to face this matter and keeps avoiding and resisting, which makes him seem too concerned and not generous. This matter is logically incorrect from the beginning as if only he has been confused and entangled from the beginning to the end.

Michael is a person who cares about details and can be said to be very picky. He is very persistent in some matters and seems somewhat mean, as he is a typical Virgo. So, this matter is not that Emily pretends nothing happened, and he says nothing about it.
