Shawn exclaimed, “I can’t believe Patrick’s savior turned out to be Ms. Saunders. What a coincidence!”
After speaking, he turned his head.
Nathan had a dark expression, staring intently at the two people in the
room.
Shawn silently gulped.
No wonder he felt a chill down his spine earlier. Nathan’s aura was quite heavy. Shawn couldn’t help but wonder if he was jealous.
Emilia was too absorbed in her translation to notice the two people. standing outside the door, and Patrick was beside her, occasionally expressing his admiration.
“Ms. Saunders, you’re really amazing! From your accent, I can tell you’re not from Acocester, right? Are you here on a business trip? How long will you be staying here?”
“Are all young men this enthusiastic these days?” Emilia thought.
Patrick’s incessant chatter left Emilia feeling both helpless and annoyed. It seemed that if she did not answer, he would just keep talking.
Emilia replied, “I’ll be staying here for about a week.”
“A beauty like Emilia is staying here for one week!” thought Patrick.
Patrick’s eyes lightened up, and he smiled even more, flattering.
“Ms. Saunders, if you have time in the next few days, can I learn. translation skills from you?”
Seeing the expectant look in the other person’s eyes, Emilia fell silent.
She had only wanted to help and hadn’t thought about teaching someone

Tonly have a basic understanding, so teaching you might not be possible…
“No, no, no! Ms. Saunders, you’re too modest! If your level is just a basic understanding, then I’ve wasted four years of university. Please, Emilia, help me improve!”
Patrick rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed on Emilia. He said, “I want to ride on your coattails.”
Nathan, who was standing outside the door, observed all of this.
The man stood in place, appearing emotionless, but the slight downturn of his mouth and the tightly pressed lips indicated his bad mood.
Seeing this, Shawn felt a sense of impending doom. Given Nathan’s tendency to be jealous, he feared that if he allowed the current situation to develop further, Patrick would be in big trouble!
Shawn cleared his throat and entered the room, addressing Patrick with a serious expression. “I did tell you to find some help, but why did you choose Mr. Miller’s wifec?”
“What?!”
Patrick was utterly shocked. He looked at Shawn and then at Emilia.
“Ms. Saunders… is Mr. Miller’s wife?”
Shawn pulled him aside, speaking in a calm voice. “Yes, she is. And you invited her right in front of Mr. Miller. You have no idea how you might end up!”
To avoid trouble, Shawn didn’t say “ex–wife“.
But this revelation was shocking enough for Patrick. He swallowed hard, and just then, Nathan walked in. Nathan was tall and exuded an aura that warned people not to approach him.
“I didn’t do anything inappropriate just now, right?” Patrick thought to himself,
Patrick instantly withered and timidly moved to the side.
Seeing Nathan here, Emilia was surprised, but more than that, she felt speechless.

She wondered why these annoying coincidences kept happening.
In a city as large as Acocester, Emilia had taken the same flight as Nathan, stayed at the same hotel, and even coincidentally assisted with hist
project.
Despite never being a superstitious person, Emilia couldn’t help but wonder if she had encountered a stroke of bad luck today. How else could she keep running into Nathan everywhere?
Nathan continued to gaze at her for quite some time, his eyes piercing and filled with an ambiguous meaning, making her increasingly uncomfortable.
Emilia lowered her eyes and thought to herself.
She realized that she had been translating Nathan’s contract all along. Well, this might be an opportunity to repay him for the set of antique porcelain bowls he had purchased at a high price.
Emilia had never liked owing anyone, especially regarding a favor from Nathan. By translating this contract, she could consider that debt settled. From then on, they could have no further connections. This arrangement suited her perfectly.
The atmosphere in the room became too heavy, and an eerie silence enveloped the entire lounge.
Patrick tried to lighten the mood and spoke with no particular topic in mind. “What a coincidence, right? I never expected that the lifesaver I managed to find would turn out to be a family member… No wonder Ms. Saunders is so amazing! You two bigwigs are exceptional people, a perfect match!”
As soon as he said this, both Nathan and Emilia had unfavorable expressions on their faces.
“Who’s a perfect match for him?”
“Who’s a perfect match for her?”
The two of them said simultaneously, leaving Patrick at a loss for words.
