Chapter 4 The World Is Narrow

• Emilia Luke found herself standing in front of the door, prepared to turn around and leave.
• "Excuse me, who are you? And why are you standing there?" He asked in a cautious tone.
• Emilia understood the importance of providing a clear explanation to avoid any misunderstandings. With this in mind, she raised her gaze and replied, "I am a new employee..." However, before she could finish her sentence, Emilia was taken aback by the person standing before her.
• For a brief moment, her mind went blank.
• How could it be?
• Mark Samuel, the president of Y&G Group?
• Various thoughts raced through Emilia mind at that moment. Her initial instinct was to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground, preventing her from moving.
• The current Mark appeared more mature than he did a few years ago. His well-defined physique and attractive features were impossible to ignore.
• As Emilia observed Mark's surprised and astonished expression, he too noticed the woman standing in front of him. With her V-shaped face, exquisite beauty, and flawless complexion, she possessed captivating features. Her clear, transparent eyes were particularly striking.
• It must be acknowledged that the woman before him was undeniably beautiful.
• While society is not lacking in beautiful women, those who can captivate others with just a single glance are rare.
• However, as Mark looked into his own eyes, he felt a slight sense of unfamiliarity.
• Could it be that he knows her?
• But according to his memory, he had no recollection of ever meeting this person. If he had, he would surely remember.
• "You still haven't answered me!" Mark firmly reminded Emilia.
• His words snapped Emilia back to reality. "Um, I..." she stammered.
• "Are you eavesdropping here?" Jane emerged from inside and directed a piercing gaze at Emilia.
• Beautiful women tend to dislike encountering other beautiful women.
• Upon seeing Emilia, Jane's dislike for her became evident. To her, she was a disruptor of their pleasant affairs.
• Hearing this, Emilia furrowed her brows and stared back at Jane with hostility.
• "I am the new designer, Emilia Luke. I have come here to report to the president!" Emilia raised her head and spoke each word humbly, leaving no room for objections.
• "Emilia...Luke?" Mark casually repeated her name, his narrow eyes fixed on Emilia.
• Hearing Mark say her name, Emilia's nerves trembled. She feared that he would recognize her, causing her hands to perspire as she stood there.
• The world truly is small. If she had known from the beginning that he was the president of Y&G Group, she would never have taken this job.
• "Come with me," Mark instructed.
• "Mark..." Jane glared at Mark Samuel dissatisfiedly.
• "Jane, you can go back first. I still have work to attend to. I will find you once I am done," Mark said.
• Jane understood that Mark was a workaholic who took his job seriously. Having followed him for so long, she was well aware of this fact.
• With that said, Mark looked at Jane and added, "I'll wait for your call tonight."
• "Uh..." Jane responded.
• After speaking, Jane gave Emilia a warning look before turning around and leaving.
• Meanwhile, Emilia remained standing there, unsure of what to do.
• It was now just the two of them.
• It is worth noting that following his emergence, they were the only two present.
• After Jane departed, Emilia Luke remained composed in her stance.
• Meanwhile, Mark Samuel sat in a swivel chair, donning a pitch black shirt with an unbuttoned collar that exposed his skin. His shirt sleeves were slightly rolled up, further enhancing the enigmatic allure of his handsome appearance.
• Unexpectedly, two years later, they would cross paths in this manner.
• Mark glanced at the HRD documents laid out before him. As he flipped through the documents with his long hands, he only caught glimpses of photos and names.
• "Emilia? Back from London!?" Mark's voice exuded a sense of ease as he looked up and met her gaze.
• "Yes!" Emilia stood there, sporting a confident smile on her face. In truth, she feigned composure, but her heart had been unsettled from the beginning.
• I deeply regret not thoroughly investigating Y&G background information when I joined the group.
• To my surprise, Mark Samuel is the president of Y&G!
• Observing Emilia's self-assured demeanor, Mark eyes narrowed slightly.
• "Excellent CV!"
• Upon hearing this remark, Emilia furrowed her brow. What does he mean by a good CV?
• Emilia regarded Mark warmly and replied, "Ability holds greater significance!"
• In response to her answer, Mark eyebrows arched slightly, exuding a captivating charm.
• How intriguing.
• "Then Miss Emilia must possess exceptional abilities!"
• "If my skills were lacking, Y&G would not have recruited me!" Emilia responded, taken aback by Mark profound words after two years of not seeing each other.
• Joy and anger remain concealed.
• Mark observed her, realizing that he had never encountered a woman like her before. She did not flatter, fawn, or feign humility; instead, she possessed her own thoughts.
• "Ability is important, but character holds greater importance!" Mark stated as he gazed at Emilia.
• Emilia furrowed her brow, as Mark words were clearly directed at her.
• "I am unsure where to begin with your presidency! Or perhaps you believe I intentionally stood at the door eavesdropping!?" Emilia inquired of Mark.
• Mark did not respond immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and reclined lazily.
• However, the answer was evident.
• Emilia maintained a smile as she looked at him. "President Mark, allow me to explain once more. I did not intend to eavesdrop; I came to report and accidentally overheard the conversation!"
• "You should have knocked on the door!" Mark remarked while observing her, firmly believing that Emilia had done it intentionally.
• "I did not knock on the door for my own reasons. Nowadays, knocking on the door is feared to provoke the president's anger. Not knocking on the door and leaving is deemed acceptable. However, by chance, I was hesitating, and the door opened. President, where do you believe I went wrong!?" Emilia questioned, maintaining eye contact.
• After two years, nothing has changed. She has even learned to make things difficult for others!
• Upon hearing her words, Mark felt as though he was being scolded by Emilia herself.
• "Do not compare me to others!" Mark retorted.
• "I am not making a comparison. If the president fears being compared, it would be wise to yield a little!" Emilia responded, displeasing Mark, causing him to furrow his brow.
• "I do not dare to teach you. I am merely speaking the truth!"
