War God Me!

Chapter 10 How Embarrassing

Kevin stood up and reported everything he was able to tell Emily. He didn't stop until he mentioned becoming a soldier at age 16 after graduating from junior high school. He would not be able to give her any information about what happened after that.

Nina applauded when Kevin was done speaking. She smiled, "Wow, Kevin! You are absolutely amazing. You have been a soldier, and I like a man who has done something with his life."

“Well, I was a pig farmer at the time, not a real soldier,” Kevin blushed.

Emily frowned, but she still looked beautiful. For a brief moment, she looked relieved; the lies were depended upon what Kevin told her. With Jake's lies still lingering in her mind, she was upset. He never told her that he was a gambler, working at Jameson's company. Yet, for some reason, Kevin's lies seemed to be out of necessity. She had a hard time believing he was in charge of pigs, but she understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud.  

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Nina asked, confused.

"It's nothing, just thought of something I heard. Well, Kevin, our contract continues, and so you must attend tonight’s class reunion as my boyfriend. You can say you have been a soldier.”

"No problem!" Kevin said confidently, and at the same time, he was still wondering why he said he was in charge of raising pigs. He was a Lion, but it was not all wrong.

Outside of the Fox Building, a commercial vehicle drove past with four people inside. The driver was Johnny, and the older woman from the coffee shop was in the back seat.

"Miss... Madam Clarkson, is this genuinely okay? Don't you want to go have a look?”

"No, if he can't even handle this, how can he complete the tasks I appoint to him in the future?" The elderly woman said indifferently, gently playing with a ring on her finger.

"But, it is taking so much effort. Wouldn't it be better just to finish it quickly?" Johnny asked in an arrogant tone. He was the first generation of soldiers cultivated by Lion, so it was normal for him to be arrogant.

Madam Clarkson looked out the window, "The opponent is different this time. You may not be able to lead him out even if you are careful."

Johnny didn't speak; he knew the woman's rank behind him, a senior general known as the First Staff Officer. Therefore, if she advised that their opponent would not be simple to take out, it might actually be true.

"I hope the boss can return to us soon," Johnny murmured.

Madam Clarkson shook her head again, with the ring in her hand turning slightly and a confused look in her eyes. It may be too risky, she thought. If she made a wrong step, she might ruin the child's life; she wondered if it was worth it.

Thinking of the order, she received a few days ago, Madam Clarkson had no choice but to sigh and then obey. It was her duty; no matter what lay ahead, she must rise up to it. She whispered, "Kevin, I hope you won't let me down."

She looked out the window at a man standing on the side of the road making a call; he was their first target.

Jake didn't know that he was being watched, as he spoke, “Jameson, the plan is working very successfully. Yes, I have reminded her of our past. As long as we work harder, I believe we will have no problem taking her down.”

Jameson grinned as he laid back in his hospital bed. The bruises on his face still hadn't receded after being trampled the day before.

"Good job, don't you have a class reunion tonight? Remember…”

"Well, Jameson, don't worry. I will handle it, and there will be no problem." Jake hung up the phone and smiled.

"Emily, I may have left in a hurry before and let you get away. But this time you won't have the chance to escape. I will make you join me!" Jake smirked and then started making more calls.

Fox Group was in an uproar because of the president’s new male assistant. It wasn’t the fact that he was new or a man, it was because the president was usually always cold and calculating, but she seems to smile more.

During a meeting, Kevin spilled coffee on the secretary; Emily laughed and put her head down on the table. The employees thought it was a practical joke. But they soon noticed the issue; it was only when Kevin was by Emily's side that she would smile. When he was away from her, the president was cold and shut off like usual.

"Kevin, here, have a cigarette, and then when the president comes down for a tour, take care of me."

"Kevin, this material is a bit... could you give it to the president? Thank you, I will invite you to dinner later."

"Kevin, can you take a look at the report? Would the president accept it? Give me some advice.”

Suddenly, Kevin became a darling of the company. When he got off work, he was still trying to comprehend everything that happened.

Everyone noticed that when he was in the room, Emily seemed to be softer and kinder. This made the employees feel confident that if Kevin were around, there would be no problems.

Rumors about the relationship between Kevin and the president began to spread. They were all aware that she was favoring him, but it wasn't until they saw him leave work in Emily's car that they understood everything.

The Adolfo Hotel was one of the most luxurious in Pittsburgh. The ballroom was extravagantly decorated for the class reunion, and the kitchen was buzzing with chefs and waiters preparing food.

Jake stood at the front door, hold a bouquet of flowers in his hand, waiting for Emily to arrive. He vowed to work hard to win over the woman who once cared for him, only so he could take her down.

"Jake, you are so handsome today."

"Yes, Jake and Emily were a well-known couple at school. He was so handsome, and she was so beautiful."

"Jake, we will assistant you to take down Emily."

He was confident he could take her down. Jake ran his fingers through his hair and watched as a Maserati approached. It was Emily’s car, but she seemed to ignore him and headed directly to the parking lot.

"Don't worry!" Jake assured himself confidently.

Soon, Jake could see Emily and a man walking out of the parking lot. He was about to step forward, but he was frozen. He saw Emily and Kevin wearing coordinating formal wear as if they were going to the prom.
