“What are you laughing at?”
Emilia frowned slightly and turned to look at the person who disturbed her.
Martin covered his mouth and coughed lightly. He said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I just think your serious look is adorable.”
“You’re so lame.” Emilia rolled her eyes at him and continued to listen.
Martin leaned forward and whispered in her ear, “Are you so interested? If you really want it as a software designer, I can pull some strings…”
“Stop.” Emilia made a stop gesture and continued seriously, “I want to represent Saunders Group and myself with my ability to win the application. Don’t you dare to manipulate anything!”
Hearing that, Martin raised his hand and stroked her hair gently. The soft touch stunned him slightly, and he withdrew his hand in time before she came back to her senses and hit him.
“Lia, you make me feel hurt. How can I utilize my strength since you’re such a strong–willed. lady?”
Martin covered his chest and pretended to feel heartache.
Emilia glanced at him and said, “Don’t exaggerate. What do you want to do?”
The man blinked at her and smiled dotingly. “I’m letting you take a shortcut. But if you really want it, you can design a better one using your outstanding skills. Why do you have to buy my software? Isn’t it so lame?”
“It’s troublesome.” Emilia shook her hands, leaned back, and said lazily. “I just want to pick up the ready–made ones. Can’t I?”
“Of course you can! Why don’t I redesign a new one for you and give it to you as a betrothal gift?”
Martin stared at Emilia with some expectation in his eyes. His captivating eyes looked. seductive. If Emilia had not known him for many years, those eyes would have fascinated her.
She did not avoid his sight. She looked at him and said, “Scram.”
“Okay, right away!” Martin replied casually, with a smile on his face..
They used to get along that way, with one being cheeky and the other indifferent. That sensation transported him back to that year.
With an increasingly sullen expression, Nathan had been staring not far away at the two intimate people.
Sitting beside Nathan, Shawn looked at Nathan’s gloomy expression, feeling a sense of dark clouds engulfing the city as if a fierce rainstorm were imminent.
It was too unusual.
Nathan was known as a workaholic. No matter what happened, his work came first. Moreover, it was a software he wanted all the time.

He did not expect his boss to be distracted by Emilia at such a critical moment when introducing software.
Shawn thought that Nathan had grown interested in her.
The interaction between Emilia and Martin was so eye–catching that even a bystander like him would feel so. After all, an accomplished man and a beautiful woman looked perfectly matched.
Besides, Emilia did not dislike that man.
Shawn thought, “If I wait until Mr. Miller comes back to his senses, Ms. Saunders will be stolen by others! I have to find a way to mend their relationship. Mrs. Miller is so outstanding that if someone took her away, Mr. Miller would suffer a heavy loss!”
After the software had been displayed, there was a burst of warm applause.
Emilia roughly understood the software, which increased her confidence in winning the software and showed undisguised enthusiasm on her face.
Martin asked, “What do you think?”
“It’s good. I have confidence.”
“Confidence is a good thing, but don’t be blind,” Nathan interrupted.
Emilia ignored him. It was not the first time for him to spoil her mood, anyway.
Shawn, who was behind Nathan, covered his face speechlessly, feeling that his boss was hopeless, and exclaimed inwardly, “This is not the way to create a chance to talk. It will only push her farther!”
After all the products were displayed, the host came on stage again to announce the end of the opening ceremony and continued, “The formal bidding will start tomorrow. Thank you for coming today. The hotel has already arranged for all of you. Please have a good rest and wait for tomorrow’s bidding session.”
After saying that, the guests all got up and left.
Emilia also planned to go back to the hotel and prepare for tomorrow. Seeing that she wanted to leave, Nathan also intended to follow her.
However, Martin grabbed Emilia and said, “Lia… we haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Do you want to leave now?”
Just as Emilia was about to say something, two other people in charge of the organizer came toward Martin, and one of them was Benjamin.
Benjamin talked to Martin and then turned to Emilia and Nathan.
Emilia did not need to introduce herself, and Nathan was famous in the industry, so Benjamin naturally recognized him.
Benjamin invited Emilia, saying, “It’s good that you haven’t left yet, Ms. Saunders. There will be a banquet later, and I hope you can participate.”
Emilia did not like to be lively. When she was about to refuse, she met Martin’s earnest and expectant eyes.
“Lia, let’s go together. Please…”

Emilia thought for a while and did not refuse. After all, she was there for business and couldn’t avoid the obligatory socializing.
Besides, if she returned to the hotel now, she might go the same way with Nathan again, so she agreed.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Martin silently gave Benjamin a thumbs–up in his heart for knowing him so well.
But Benjamin said to Nathan again, “Mr. Miller came from afar. Are you interested in joining us?”
Hearing that, Emilia frowned slightly.
She wanted to avoid Nathan, but would she still end up going to the same place as him?
She prayed that Nathan was not interested in it, but she did not expect him to agree.
“I’d love to.”
