My boyfriend

In the dining, James was staring at Devin as if it was his first time seeing him. There was a bizarre expression on his face as he stared at Devin.

Soon, Devin got fed up with his gaze and asked in frustration, "What is with that gaze of yours? Why are you staring at me in that manner?"

"Nothing," James smiled, "just wondering how and when your appetite increased." He sipped an orange juice.

"What does that suppose to mean? Will you eat and stop poking your nose into someone else's business," Devin shot James a deadly glare.

"Ow, bro, why do you love breaking my heart? It's not a sin to be curious about something," James laughed.

"Tsk," Devin rubbed his forehead in frustration. He was about to say something when Emmy's voice sounded.

"Are you guys enjoying your meal?" Emmy, dressed in a simple-looking dress, smiled charmingly. She suddenly recalled Devin's rule and quickly wiped her smile away.

"Very good, very perfect," James praised and gave Emmy a thumbs up.

Devin did not reply and continued eating.

Emmy's mouth twitched when she noticed Devin's nonchalant appearance. "My handsome boss, I am here for my advance salary." She tried not to smile. "Um, Boss, I will need two more months of advance money." She scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

During her stay in the kitchen doing nothing, she used the opportunity to calculate the expenses she would incur on her six children and found out that two million won't be enough. Thus, she tried to persuade Devin to give her another two months of advance salary.

Devin looked at Emmy strangely. "As your boss, I have the right to know some things about you. What on earth do you want to do with that money?" He asked.

Emmy's lips parted, but she didn't know what to say. "Um..." She scratched the back of her head again. "My boyfriend... my boyfriend..."

Devin spoon fell and he gave Emmy a bizarre gaze.

James cover his forehead with his left hand and continue eating.

"Emmy seems not to notice their strangeness and continue speaking". My boyfriend met with an accident and has to undergo surgery so am asking for my advance money in order to pay for his surgery, any further delay will lead to his death but I don't want to lose him, my parents did not really care about my relationship so I could only beg them to help me find any available Job that's what result to my appearance here. "She wiped her imaginary tears". Please boss, help me, I promise I will work very hard than your expectation. "She look unhappy and pitiful".

Hahahahaha, just take that Mr pervert,I hope you love my story and feel touched. "Emmy laugh inwardly".

Devin face darken dangerously. "That boyfriend of your's, he is...."

"Boss!, I won't allow you to speak ill of my boyfriend". Emmy cut off Devin's words, afraid that she would spill the beans if he continued to interrogate her. "We both love each other, and we have already planned to get married. Please boss, just give me, I don't want anything to happen to my soon-to-be husband," she cried.

Devin lost all reasoning and did not even recheck Emmy's words. He picked up his phone that was on the table and said, "Account number." His voice sounded chilling.

Emmy was overjoyed and ignored Devin's chilling voice. She happily gave him her account number.

"Alright, done," Devin's voice sounded after an unknown time had passed, and he put his phone back on the table.

"Ah, thank you, handsome boss, thank you very much," Emmy shouted and quickly ran to check her phone.

"Um... how about I go and do the job you gave me," James said, getting ready to leave, when he noticed that things has gone completely wrong.

"No need anymore," Devin replied coldly. "It doesn't matter anymore, I have already confirmed that she is the girl I am looking for. No need to check them again," he sounded heartbroken. "I am just a step too late," he added.

Looking at the pained expression on Devin's face, James sighed. "You can't blame yourself. Fate decides things sometimes," he consoled him.

Devin did not reply and allowed himself to be buried in the past.

Several years ago, a strange accident happened, and a young boy was lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing but still conscious. He could hear an anxious voice and feel a little hand pulling his. He forcibly opened his closed eyes only to see a bare chest with a leave imprint, someone seemed to be pulling the girl away from him, but the girl struggled, leading to the exposure of her chest. He could hear someone shouting, "Emmy, let's go... Emmy, let's go." But the little girl did not reply and managed to pull him up and take him to the hospital. He knew he was already in the hospital and could be saved. He heard the doctor say to someone, "He lost a lot of blood, he will need blood, but his blood type is very rare, and we have none in the hospital."

An unfamiliar voice replied, "Try my daughter's blood. Her blood type is very rare as well, but madam, you should pay."

The boy's mother replied, "Thank you, Mrs., name your price."

A little girl's voice sounded, "Mother, will my blood save that brother?"

The unfamiliar voice, which was the little girl's mother, sounded, "Yes, it can."

The little boy wanted to get up and stop them, but he gradually lost consciousness. By the time he opened his eyes again, he was much better. He looked to his left and saw the little girl. "You saved me?" His voice was very low, but the little girl heard him.

The little girl smiled. "My blood can save big brother, though it's itchy. I am happy that I saved big brother." The little girl replied and smiled beautifully, showing her lovable dimples. "Since big brother is awake, I will see big brother later." The girl smiled and got ready to leave.

The boy could not understand why, but he felt that if he allowed her to leave now, he wouldn't be able to see her again for a long time. He was about to stop her, but he suddenly felt dizzy, and he could only see her smiling face before he lost consciousness.

PRESENT.

Devin looked towards the kitchen entrance. "After so many years, I finally found you. Now that I found you, I am still late, someone else has already replaced me in your heart," he mused to himself, and suddenly he lost his appetite. He stood up and went to his room, leaving James behind.

James could only shake his head, unsure of what to do next.
