The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 159 Hidden Side Quest

Was it true? Ever since they started talking about divorce, Emily had been nothing but cold and distant.

She never showed him any kindness, and every time they bumped into each other in public, she acted like she wanted to be miles away from him. And now, she was asking about his schedule? Michael asked, "What do you want? Are you trying to ask me out?"

Seeing Michael like this made Emily furious. But Penelope had invited her to a jewelry exhibition that required a male companion.

Plus, Smith Corporation was the hot topic of gossip right now. If Emily wanted to ask Daniel for help, it would definitely be inappropriate.

So after thinking it over, she figured she'd see if this egomaniac had any free time. "Of course not, I'm just being nice and helping you kill some time. But if you already have plans, I can ask someone else. Worst case, I'll just grab someone off the street."

After all, life was like that, just getting by. Emily, who usually had no expectations, quickly accepted it.

Unexpectedly, Michael wasn't happy about this.

Grab someone off the street? What was Emily even talking about? So casual?

Michael said, "Emily, make yourself clear. If you want to know my schedule, you have to tell me what it's for!" Hearing this, Emily laid it all out.

Smith Corporation often dabbled in the jewelry business. Not only that, but they were also involved in hotels, clothing, and even bottled water, so Emily thought Michael would have no interest in a jewelry exhibition. Moreover, Penelope was Bryan's mother.

Unexpectedly, Michael was very enthusiastic and responded resolutely. "Of course, I'll go to an exhibition organized by Penelope. What time? I'll go get my clothes ready."

Afraid Emily would misunderstand, Michael emphasized. "I'm not doing this for you. The Smith family and the Watson family have been close for generations. As Penelope's nephew, this is my duty."
