"Emma."
Once Emma stopped, Toddy walked over to the driver's seat and tapped on the window. "Emma, can
we talk?"
Emma took a few deep breaths. She knew she couldn't just let things carry on like this, so she
unlocked her door and lowered her window. "Get in."
Toddy jumped for joy and hurried into the car.
"Can I get a ride too, Mr. Heller?"
When Pansy saw Toddy getting into Emma's car, she made the impulsive, brazen decision to ask
Toddy.
Toddy frowned and replied coolly, "It's not my car. I'm already getting a ride from Emma. I'm not
shameless enough to ask Emma to give you one too. You can get a cab yourself."
"It's peak hours right now and it's hard to get a car. You drop me off along the way, Miss Finley."
"Sorry, but we're not going in the same direction so I can't drop you off along the way. Even if we were,
I still wouldn't be giving you a ride. Have you already forgotten what you said about me just now, Miss
Dickey? Do you remember my response?"
Pansy couldn't reply.
"What did she say, Emma?" Toddy expressed his concern. "Did she criticize you or ridicule you?"
"I didn't, Mr. Heller!" Pansy instantly exclaimed. She gave Emma a pleading look to beg her not to tell
the truth.
Emma didn't repeat what Pansy said. She simply answered, "Miss Dickey has been in love with you for
as many years as she has been with the company, Mr. Heller. What do you think she'd do to me? I feel
rather aggrieved, you know. You're the one who keeps badgering me right now."
Toddy glared at Pansy. He wanted to get out of the car and berate Pansy, but he was afraid that Emma
would drive off without him if he did, so he could only growl coldly, "Miss Dickey, right? I'll make a note
of this."
All the color drained from Pansy's face.
Emma glanced at Pansy and smirked before driving off.
She never bothered wasting her time on people like Pansy.
If she did want to fight, Pansy would lose every single time.
Does she really think moving to Parker Corporation means President Coleman has given up on me?
On the contrary, it proves just how much he trusts me.
Emma knew better than anyone else just how much Dylan loved his wife.
He would be even happier if she helped Kendall than if she helped him.
"What did that woman say about you, Emma? Tell me and I'll get even on your behalf."
Toddy wanted to seize this opportunity to make a good showing of himself.
"Forget it," Emma replied indifferently. "She's just jealous of me because she's too in love with you. She
didn't manage to hurt me. I'm the one who pissed her off."
She side-eyed Toddy before adding, "You're quite the b*stard, you know that?"
"How am I a b*stard?" Toddy asked indignantly. "I've never encouraged them in any way. I can't help it
if they like me."
After a spell of silence, Emma commented, "You know that a lot of the women in the office have a thing
for you, and it seems as if you don't lead us on in any way. Yet, even though you know how we feel
about you, you don't move us to a different position. You leave us right in your vicinity where we can't
avoid seeing you everyday. If you reassigned me after I confessed to you, I'm sure things wouldn't have
gotten this far between us. President Coleman didn't rely on me as much at the time. It wouldn't have
affected him at all if you reassigned me elsewhere. You thought that I'd give up because you rejected
me, and even though you seemed annoyed that I kept bothering you for years, you liked how it felt to
have me devoting myself to you, right? That's why you kept me around and didn't do anything about it.
It's the same with the others."
After a pause, Toddy replied, "Are you saying it's my fault for not reassigning you to a different branch
of the company? So many women have a crush on me. Am I supposed to reassign all of them?"
"You could've made an example out of me to ensure that everyone else stopped having ideas about
you. That's what President Coleman did. He fired all of the secretaries that had their eyes on him and
no one else dared to make a move on him after that. Any woman in the office who even tries to get his
attention would not be coming back to the company the next day. You're President Coleman's right-
hand man. You're the head of his subordinates. You see everything that he does, so why didn't you
learn a few of his tricks?"
Toddy had no answer for that.
After silencing Toddy, Emma kept quiet as well.
Soon, she came to a stop outside a casual dining restaurant.
"Roger and I ate here a few times. The food's pretty good. We can have dinner here. It's on me."
"I can't possibly let you pay. It'll be my treat."
Toddy couldn't let Emma foot the bill on the rare occasion when she was willing to eat with him.
Emma didn't bother arguing with him over this. After parking the car, she walked into the restaurant
with him.
They sat down at a table by the window and Emma flagged down a waiter. The waiter came over at
once and Emma listed a few things that she and Roger had tried in the past.
Once she ordered what she wanted, Emma glanced at Toddy and pursed her lips before ordering a
couple of things he liked.
After being in love with him for so many years, she was well aware of his preferences.
When Toddy heard Emma ordering his favorite food, his eyes lit up with a smile.
She still cares about me. She understands me very well too. Roger can't compete with me on these
accounts.
Ring, ring, ring!
Emma's phone started ringing.
It was a call from Roger and she answered it.
When Toddy heard Emma saying Roger's name, his ears perked up at once and he eavesdropped on
the conversation.
It was just a simple exchange of pleasantries and checking up on each other.
Soon, Emma ended the call.
It seems as if they don't have much in common to talk about. See? The call ended in less than two
minutes.
Toddy was full of confidence once more. Either way, as long as Emma wasn't married to Roger, he
wasn't going to give up.
"Toddy."
"Yeah?"
Toddy smiled and stared affectionately at Emma.
However, Emma's gaze was completely still. She looked straight at him and saw the emotions in his
eyes, but she simply chuckled bitterly to herself.
She wouldn't have decided to give up on him completely if he had been just a little bit nicer to her in the
past.
Now that she did give up, he was the one who kept pestering her, telling her that he had long since
fallen in love with her. What's the point?
"Do you think I'm smart or dumb, Toddy?"
"You're smart, of course."
Emma chuckled. "Thanks for the compliment. In that case, I'm sure you know that smart people will
leave the past behind, right? To me, you're the past."
Toddy's smile faded.
"Emma, I know I hurt you deeply in the past. I don't blame you for rejecting me and refusing to give me
a chance now. I deserve this. That being said, I still want to tell you that I won't give up. Unless you get
married right away, I'll keep pestering you."
He was determined to wear her down!
Perhaps one day, she would warm up to him again and willingly come back to his side.
"It's perfectly easy for me to get married."
