A Contract Marriage With My Boss
Chapter 23: I DON’T UNDERSTAND YOU

"Is it all right?" Emma questioned. There was still no answer. Emma had already suspected that Sarah was passionless. She didn't know what to do, so she looked away and interlocked her fingers, resting them on the table. "I think waiting is wonderful. Good faith moves mountains and always provides good results just as long as you can be patient. I don't know why you are unwilling to wait. Actually, I think my brother..."

"You came here for your brother?" Sarah interrupted coldly. She had decided she had given up on the idea of a future with Charles forever. She didn't want any explanation.

Emma was stunned. She looked down again at her hands, "I think the problems between you and my brother were caused by me, mostly."

"You think too much." Sarah interrupted her again because she didn't want to feel embarrassed in front of Emma even if her problems were indeed caused by Emma's sudden appearance in their lives. She was jealous, so of course, there were miscommunications between her and Charles, which were made even more complicated by Emma. However, if she admitted that, she would be acknowledging that she thought Emma was far more charming than Sarah, and that's why she was so jealous of her. She couldn't possibly do that, and she would lose face in front of her rival.

Sarah was always so weak in front of her rival in love. She could no longer continue to feel like such a loser.

Interrupted again by Sarah, Emma finally knew that Sarah didn't care about what she had to say. She could tell that Sarah had decided to give up.

However, Emma still held so much guilt in her heart, so she felt compelled to say, "Even if it is not my fault, Charles is still my brother. I don't want you to destroy his happiness because of a misunderstanding. I have a responsibility to fight for my brother."

Sarah looked at Emma, doubtfully. She was clearly struggling to replace any truth in what Emma was saying. She had come to persuade Sarah that Charles was a good man and to forgive him, but was Emma actually sincere, or did she have an ulterior motive?

Emma noticed Sarah finally looked up at her and continued to speak, "I think my brother really loves you. I have never seen him care about another woman in such a way."

Emma fell silent when the waiter came over and served them their coffee. Neither of them said anything until the waiter had walked away. Sarah sneered, "It seems that your brother cares about you so much that he is unable to consider anyone else's feelings at all."

Emma lowered her gaze and said timidly, "Actually, I saw how much he cared about you this time. He was waiting for you downstairs for several days. He hasn't paid any attention to his work. Can't you see what it's doing to him?"

Sarah couldn't bring herself to give in to Emma's sweet words after everything Charles had done to her. This time, she was unwilling to trust him no matter how much he seemed to have changed.

Emma looked at Sarah pleadingly, "So, please give another chance to my brother. Please!"

"I have given your brother many chances, but he has broken my heart again and again!"

Emma paused and explained again, "Although my brother has a lot of responsibility, he is still a boy at heart. He is stubborn and often oversteps the line, but believe me, and he wholeheartedly loves you! "No, he doesn't respect me, or he wouldn't have hurt me again and again." Sarah laughed.

"This time, he must be serious!" replied Emma.

Sarah stared at her and asked her bluntly, "Did Charles tell you to come here?"

Emma shook her head, "No, I came here purely because I think my brother really does love you."

"I don't understand you," Sarah replied. Don't you love your brother? Don't you want to be the only one in your brother's heart?" Now that Sarah planned to leave their lives forever, she thought she might as well know the truth.

Emma lowered her head, and after a long time, she decided to speak, "To be honest, I am still in love with my brother. At first, I was envious of you, but later I realized that he and I could never be together again."

"We needn't say anything more. You still love Charles, so just have him! Nothing is impossible!" Sarah stood up and went to leave.

Emma stood up and grabbed Sarah by the hand, "Miss Tyler, you should let me explain."

"Sorry, Miss Thomas, but I need to catch a plane. Please let me go, okay? You have made your feelings very clear."

Sarah made her way to the exit, but Emma caught up to her and grabbed her once again, "Miss Tyler, please listen to my explanation!"

Sarah was so tired of her love rival trying to stop her from leaving and shook Emma's handoff. Unexpectedly, Emma missed the step, tumbled over, and hit her waist on the corner of the table. Immediately, Emma bowed and covered her waist tightly with her hands.

Sarah looked down at her, stunned.

"Sarah, what are you doing?!"

Sarah turned around to replace Charles rushing over.
