Chapter 94
Nathan’s eyes were full of scrutiny, and his tone became aggressive, which made Yuliana feel uncomfortable.
Although the man in front of her exuded a strong presence and
possessed far greater abilities than herself, she could sit at the table with him and discuss cooperation solely due to her reliance on the Anderson. family’s legacy.
Therefore, Yuliana was unwilling to give up easily.
“Mr. Miller, don’t assume you understand me very well. Today, we’re here to discuss cooperation. You state your demands, and I’ll state mine. What is there to discuss if you can’t meet my demands?” As Yuliana spoke, she pretended to turn around, pick up her bag, and leave.
“It’s Emilia, right?” Nathan’s words came right after.
Yuliana stopped moving immediately.
Nathan sneered as he saw Yuliana’s reaction. “Everyone’s forgotten, but I haven’t. The Saunders and Anderson families have been working together for a long time. It’s just that after the Saunders family’s car accident ten years ago, the cooperation between the two families slowly ended. While Emilia and you both grew up together from a young age, right?”
When Yuliana heard Nathan mention Emilia’s name, she had no intention of hiding anything. She turned confidently and looked at him. “Yes, it was Emilia who asked me to ask. So what?”
Nathan thought, “So what?”
Nathan’s hand veins slowly bulged. Though he smiled, those who knew him could sense his anger.
I’ve already given everything to Emilia. She knew I didn’t have it, but she still asked you to use it to bother me. Sincerity, what a joke! Do you not find it ridiculous when people say those two words?”
Nathan’s tone was indifferent and filled with intimidation as he stood up, looking down at Yuliana. His gloomy expression indicated his emotions. were on the verge of exploding.
Yuliana wondered, “It has already been returned?” She frowned in

confusion.
From Emilia’s tone, it hadn’t seemed that she intended to trouble Nathan with such a request. Yuliana wondered, “Is there some misunderstanding in this situation?”
Without waiting for Yuliana to speak, Nathan stood up and left the table. “Ms. Anderson, we, Miller Group, came here in full sincerity. Since you were the first to violate the agreement, the cooperation ends here.”
Then Nathan walked away with an unhappy look on his face.
He said inwardly, ‘Emilia…
What exactly do you want by interfering with my cooperation?‘
However, Emilia was not in the company at that moment.
As Emilia stood at the entrance of Xosa Shopping Mall, she sighed softly as she looked at Simon dressed in light blue casual attire. Her eyes were filled with a sense of helplessness toward a younger brother.
“Why do you want to meet me here? As far as I know, this mall sells. goods. It’s not a good place to have a party.”
Emilia was a little confused about the place Simon had chosen.
Simon smiled. “My birthday party is not here. It’s at the restaurant where we had dinner together previously.”
His birthday was just a pretense. Simon brought Emilia to spend quality time together and had a private rendezvous.
He made an excuse, saying, “They’re still setting up over there, and I’m afraid you’d get bored waiting, so I bring you here for a stroll first.”
“Oh, I see.” Emilia nodded as she heard Simon’s words. That works out perfectly. I’ll go pick a birthday gift for you.”
When Simon urged her to hurry, and considering that he was the birthday man that day, Emilia did not refuse. However, she had not yet had a chance to prepare a birthday present for him.
Simon wondered, “A gift?“”
Simon’s handsome face showed a hint of joy. He glanced down at his attire and said with a beam, “I haven’t found a suitable tie yet for my outfit today. Lia, how about you pick out a tie for me?”

He wanted Emilia to give him a tie not only for the sake of fashion but also for another reason.
Emilia felt strange when she heard that.
She had only picked out a tie for Nathan and never bought one for anyone else.
However, since that day was Simon’s birthday and seeing his hopeful look, Emilia thought carefully and could not bring herself to refuse his request. She decided to agree.
“Okay.” Emilia nodded.
Coincidentally, on the third floor of that mall, there was a Mogllo Karlo store. It was a top international men’s fashion brand renowned for its ties, often called the “Tie King.”
On the way to the Mogllo Karlo store, Simon suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up, and he leaned slightly closer to Emilia’s ear, using a seductive and enchanting tone to whisper, “I need to step away for a moment. You stay here and wait for me for a little while.”
Emilia felt a tingling sensation in her ear, especially as she smelled a faint trace of men’s cologne emanating from Simon, which made her quite uncomfortable.
Emilia tilted her head slightly and looked at Simon, who had left, with puzzled eyes.
As her legs began to ache from standing for so long, Emilia finally saw Simon’s figure appear within her sight
“Latte?
Emilia was surprised to see the two cups of latte in Simon’s hand and his smile asking for a compliment.
“How is it? Is this your favorite flavor?
Simon’s face bore a smile as bright as sunshine, so bright that it inexplicably lifted the dark clouds in Emilia’s heart and made her feel different.
After the divorce, Emilia hadn’t had a latte in a long time. She beamed when she saw the latte cup in Simon’s hand, especially her favorite flavor.
Thank you, Simon.”

When Emilia took the latte Simon handed her and the straw touched her lips, she hesitated again. “But drinking a latte will make me gain weight. Plus
Simon found her even more adorable when he saw that Emilia was craving it but still holding back. “You’re too thin, so a little weight gain is good. It makes you even cuter.”
Simon inadvertently raised his hand and gently pinched Emilia’s cheek.
Such physical contact made Emilia a little uncomfortable. She avoided Simon’s hand without a trace.
Perhaps sensing Emilia’s reluctance, she remained silent and kept her distance from Simon as they walked toward their destination. He also refrained from making any inappropriate gestures.
“Welcome to the Mogllo Karlo store! Please come in, Miss!”
As they walked into the store, they were greeted by various suits, ties, and cuff links. The cufflinks alone took up an entire wall for display, not to mention the ties and suits.
“Miss, is there something that you are looking for?”
As a shop assistant approached with a polite smile, Emilia scanned the counter and pointed to a tie.
“Simon, what do you think of this?”
It was a royal blue tie with silver and white stripes, which seemed to be a special item, as it had its own display case, complemented by a
half–mannequin clothing display stand, presenting an elegant and charming appearance.
Simon would not question Emilia’s aesthetic at all.
“It looks great, and of course, your choice is the best. But we still need to see if it fits well. Lia, could you help me tie it, please?”
When she heard Simon’s request, Emilia was a little stunned.
She could not accept Simon’s somewhat flirtatious tone.
“Well…”
At that moment, a voice suddenly appeared.

Sorry! I’ll take this tie!”
