The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 143 The Graceful and Noble Lady

The banquet hall was buzzing with people mingling, toasting, and chatting, making the whole scene pretty dazzling.

Emily was thinking about sneaking out for some fresh air. But just as she was about to turn around, she heard Bryan suddenly speak up next to her. "When did you and Michael tie the knot?"

Bryan had been glued to his phone, playing a game, and she had no idea when he stopped and noticed her. Emily was caught off guard and awkwardly sat back down, forcing a smile. "Uh, we've been married for three years." Bryan nodded, looking like he wanted to keep the conversation going. "I left Emerald City three years ago, so no wonder I've never seen you. I didn't come back when Michael was sick either. I was busy with work and, you know, young and clueless."

As he spoke, Emily noticed a hint of regret on Bryan's face. It seemed like Jessica was right; these two still thought about each other, but now they were like strangers who couldn't even have a proper chat.

It was just that they didn't do business together anymore, so what was the big deal?

Emily thought to herself but she still had to be polite, so she comforted Bryan. "Michael understands. You both are busy. Meeting again when you've achieved success is the best outcome."

Emily's words always had a way of making people feel at ease.

Bryan, who rarely smiled, responded to Emily. "Michael is older than me, so you're my sister-in-law. Is it okay if I call you Emily?"

Using her first name seemed fitting. At least it showed Bryan didn't want to be strangers with Michael.
