“What happened to you?”
I jumped, subsequently realizing that it was Andrew who had spoken.
“Did I scare you?” Andrew asked worriedly.
I quickly shook my head. “No, you didn’t. I was thinking about work and was too engrossed in it.”
“Really?”
“Oh, of course.”
All of a sudden, I felt dizzy and couldn’t stand properly. I just fell down like that.
“Emma!” I heard a cry.. The next moment, I fell into an embrace. My body felt like it had been drained of all energy. I felt as if my soul had left my body, it was so uncomfortable and I felt as if I was in a void. Only after two or three seconds then my vision gradually cleared up.
“Emma?” It’s Andrew’s voice. His face appeared in my pupils and it was only then that I realized I had fallen to the ground, and he had crouched down to grab hold of me.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a bit anemic.” It was normal for me to faint from the recent fatigue, downward acceleration, and anemia. “Thank you.” I struggled to get up, but Andre suddenly hugged me.
He held me so tightly that I almost couldn’t breathe. I wanted to push him away, but I wasn’t able to. I wanted to ask him to let me go, but the moment I opened my mouth, the first word that came out was “Abraham!”
I was stunned by my own cry. He was Andrew! Although Abraham had many similarities with Abraham, he was still Andre after all, not Abraham. Could it be that I had already, subconsciously him for Abraham?
“Okay.”
Just as I was feeling vexed over my call, Andrew unexpectedly answered. He used his right hand to hold the back of my head and pulled me tightly into his embrace. “I’m here. It’s been hard on you during this period of time.”
I was going to go crazy!
I missed Abraham too much, so I called out his name. That was normal. But what about Abraham? What did Andrew mean by that? Was he muddled from work?
“An-President Andrew. It’s only right for you to work hard.” I quickly used work as an excuse to ease the atmosphere. I stretched my arms out to push him away. “I’m fine. Please let go of me.”
The elevator doors suddenly slammed shut. It was then that I realized we were already on the 18th floor. The doors had opened and closed.
Following that, I felt a strong force pushing against my legs. In the next moment, Andrew lifted me up.
“Andrew!” I shouted.
“Don’t move. What if you faint again later?”
“I’m fine.”
The elevator doors opened and Andrew carried me out. It was only after we entered his office then he let me down. The moment I landed on the ground, I felt incredibly comforted, feeling as if I had just gone through a therapy session in Andrew’s arms.
“Wow! I feel so good right now.” It has been a long time since I last felt like that, I couldn’t help but sigh.
Andrew smiled, his eyes extremely gentle. His current expression was exactly the same as when Abraham looked at me lovingly.
My heart throbbed, and I couldn’t help but blush. I even wanted to throw myself back into his arms, the exact way I’d run into Abraham’s arms.
“Come on, let’s have something to eat first.” He very naturally took my hand and led me into the reception room on the right. I didn’t want to go in, but when I looked over at the reception room, I was stupefied.
The dark red sofa, coffee table, crystal chandelier, and the vintage oil paintings on the wall were all gone!
The walls of the reception room were covered with a layer of light blue wallpaper. The wall facing the door had been built into an arched bookcase that was as high as the ceiling. In between the bookcase were a few armchairs and a small white table.
About two meters away from the window, there was a pastry cabinet on the left and a dining table on the right. A wooden bar was built against the walls facing the windows, with all sorts of popular wines in the wine cabinet.
Andrew walked over to the dining table and pulled out a chair for me. I had no choice but to sit down and shrug my shoulders, not knowing what else to say. “Wow. That’s a huge transformation.”
Our house was only 100 square meters but Abraham and I took a long time discussing about the renovations of our house, which was only 100 square meters. Back then, I really wanted a huge bookcase that was made of solid wood, but after looking at the prices, I had no choice but to give up. It was really too expensive.
But now, Andrew had taken only one afternoon to completely renovate the reception room, even building such a huge bookcase.
Andre observed my expression and said, “You don’t look scared anymore. I was thinking that if you still refuse to come in, I’ll change my office.”
“What?” I couldn’t believe it. “You mean that, you’ll change your office because of me?” He wanted to work in another building?
“Yes, of course.” He sat across from me, holding a knife and fork, looking at me without blinking at all.
