Stephanie turned back to face Emily.
“So who is the father of your child?-one of the men you slept with to the top?” She smirked.
Emily stood on a spot, she suddenly couldn’t speak.
“Do you allow people like this shop here?” Stephanie turned to the manager.
“If you allow her to continue to shop here, I won’t patronize you any longer.” She flicked her hair.
“We are sorry ma, we’ll send her out at once.” the manager bowed.
“Please get out of here.” The manager turned to Emily and frowned.
“I’ll call the police.” he threatened.
“You, take the clothes from her.” He signaled to one of the salespersons.
The salesgirl made to collect the clothes from Emily.
“Wait.” Stephanie raised her hand.
Everyone stared at her, confusion plastered on their face but Stephanie knew what she was doing… She hadn’t embarrassed Emily to her satisfaction.
“As good people, you can’t just chase her away like a dog, at least let her pay for the clothes she bought; right, Emily?” She smirked.
Because she really wanted to buy those particular clothes for her darling and wasn’t sure she was going to get them elsewhere, Emily nodded her head.
“Right.” Stephanie smirked.
She knew the clothes in Emily’s hands were expensive and she was sure Emily wouldn’t be able to pay for them. That was a real embarrassment.
She was sure the people around were going to criticize Emily.
Everyone followed Emily as she walked to the cashier.
“Your bill is sixty thousand won.” The cashier sneered.
Emily rummaged through her bag and brought out the cash in it. She counted it and bit her lower lip. She only had ten thousand won with her.
“Wae?… the money isn’t enough?” Stephanie sneered.
The people around were already starting to murmur.
Emily bit her lower lip. She didn’t care about the people and Stephanie, she cared about the clothes she wanted to get for Little Pumpkin…
“Just help yourself out of here.” the manager of the boutique spat out.
Stephanie grinned satisfactorily.
Emily stared at the clothes, she had no choice but to use the debit card the CEO had given to her. She didn’t want to use it but she had to.
Emily reached for the card in her handbag and brought it out.
The audience gasped as soon as they set their eyes on the debit card.
“Is that…”
“Eotteoke?”
“No, tell me I’m dreaming”
Emily didn’t have just any card, it was a shiny black debit card she had. Only the top richest people in the country used black cards. It was exclusively for the richest.
Stephanie felt a banging headache coming immediately she set her eyes on the card. Like, how did the girl… No, where did she get it from? Her ‘slaves’ were as well shocked!.
BLACK CARD?!!! Even Stephanie didn’t have it.
But just as soon as her face wore a shocked expression, Stephanie hastily replaced her shocked look with a calm one.
“Oh, Emily has a card,” her voice seemed hoarse at first.
Maybe she needed water or something.
“OH EM GEE, is that a black card? Awwn so cute but Emily, where could you have gotten it from cause I, the queen of the broadcasting entertainment industry, do not have it.” Stephanie clenched her teeth but it wasn’t obvious.
Even though she had only simply said that, anyone would have known she meant to say WHERE DID YOU STEAL THE CARD FROM?!!
And almost immediately, the onlookers began to murmur accusingly at Emily.
Emily didn’t mind them, she just handed the card over to the cashier.
“Your password please?..” the cashier asked a bit respectfully than before.
And that was it, Emily didn’t get the password from the CEO.
Stephanie who was watching Emily closely snickered. She knew the girl stole the card, she was so sure.
“Wae?.. you weren’t able to get the password from the person you stole it from?” She sneered.
“Omo!.. she’s desperate!”
“So, she stole it!”
“I knew it!
“I heard she slept her way up to get in the industry”
“She doesn’t deserve to be in EWEI”
“Stealing from other people..”
“She’s evil!”
People accused Emily non-stop.
Emily huffed, she picked her phone from her bag and rang the CEO.
The people went mute; what was she going to do now?… they all gave Emily disgusting looks.
“As we can see, it’s rising. We need need to advertise to the people in the country.” Noah explained.
He didn’t know a call was coming in on his boss’ phone that he had connected to the projector. He swiped the answer icon and a female’s voice came on.
“Joel…” The cute feminine voice had made the men in the conference room shocked!
Noah hastily disconnected the phone and handed it over to the CEO.
Joel placed the phone to his ear. He knew exactly who was calling, he wouldn’t mistake that voice for another, anywhere. But why was she calling?.. it was the first time she was calling him though.
“Uhm,” Joel replied in a nasal voice.
Emily who was still being watched by piercing eyes placed her left hand on the cashier’s desk.
“What’s the password for the debit card?” She twitched her mouth to the sides.
“Emily.” Joel simply replied.
“Emily?” Emily arched up her brows.
The cashier who thought Emily told her to input Emily hastily typed Emily. It worked. She withdrew the money for the clothes from the account.
“Uhn” Joel replied in a nasal voice.
Emily blinked her eyes, why did he use her name as the password?…
“Arasso. Kumawo.” Emily hanged up.
Stephanie suddenly went mute. Never in her wildest imagination had she thought the girl could embarrass her but she did anyway.
Everyone watched in silence as the cashier packed the clothes and handed them and the credit card back to Emily.
They couldn’t say anything as they watched Emily walk out of the boutique.
Stephanie clenched her teeth and balled up her fists as she watched the girl. She was seething with anger but she still maintained her calm.
Joel smiled as his phone dinged, he had received a debit alert.
Sixty thousand won?… why did she not buy stuff worth six hundred thousand won… nevertheless, he was happy she finally used the card. He had thought she was never going to use it. But what were the things she bought?… Joel smiled to himself as he rocked his chair, completely oblivious to the fact that the sales representatives in the room were watching him in utmost shock!
Like did the CEO receive a call from a lady?.. No, like a L A D Y?!!.. Unbelievable!
Everyone had always believed the CEO was gay. He never liked to associate himself with women, he had a brother and not a sister, he had a nephew and not a niece, his personal assistant was a male and not a female, even his secretary was a male and not a female too.
The people found it suspicious and decided that the CEO of EMPIRE WORLD CORPORATIONS was GAY!
But seeing him receive a call from a woman and watching his mood change drastically after the call made the sales reps wonder in astonishment. The CEO wasn’t gay after all.
Emily got to her car and drove right out of the boutique. Her darling would be so happy when she showed him the clothes she bought, she grinned.
As soon as she had driven into the villa, she carried the bag of clothes she bought and walked straight into Little Pumpkin’s room where Little Pumpkin sat obediently the way she had left him, patiently waiting for her.
“My darling!” Emily smiled as she dropped the bag of clothes on the bed.
“Noona!” Little Pumpkin’s puffy lips danced around as he looked up at Emily.
“I kept you waiting right?” Emily pouted.
“Ani.” Little Pumpkin hastily shook his head.
Since it was his noona, he could wait for five years and not get impatient.
“Awwn” Emily ruffled his hair affectionately.
“Okay, now let’s dress you up.” She grinned.
She picked a multicolored shirt and a pair of red trousers she bought, she wore them on Little Pumpkin and wore a sandal on for him. Emily combed Little Pumpkin’s hair and styled it. She grinned satisfactorily as she stared at the cute-looking angel in front of her.
“You like it?” Emily asked as she made Little Pumpkin stand before the mirror.
“Uhn” Little Pumpkin nodded his head.
Anything his noona did for him was fine. As long as she was the one that did it, it was fine no matter what. But truthfully, Little Pumpkin also loved the way he was dressed and so, it was fine.
Emily smiled and led Little Pumpkin to the lounge.
“My darling wait here, okay? Let me go and freshen up.” Emily smiled.
“Nde” Little Pumpkin nodded his head.
Emily also nodded her head and headed for the stairs. She took her bath and hastily dressed up wearing a blue long, free floral gown. She did little makeup and tied her hair in her usual ponytail. She carried a blue mini handbag and fastened on a pink sandal. She was simply dressed but also richly dressed.
“Kaja.” Emily took Emily’s hand in her’s and led him out of the lounge.
The guards and maids around stared at Emily in awe, the lady was really beautiful. They stared at Little Pumpkin and also couldn’t close their mouth. Of course, they knew Little Pumpkin was handsome but the way he was dressed made him much more handsome.
The duo got in the car and Emily fastened a seat belt around Little Pumpkin in the back seat and also fastened her own around herself and drove out of the villa.
“Really?… Okay, just follow them closely.” Joel twitched his lips as he stared at his laptop.
The lady’s looks would surely attract some stupid men. Joel thought as he stared at the picture of Emily and Little Pumpkin Stone, one of Joel’s most trusted men had sent to him.
