But when I knocked on Emery's office door, my heart calmed down instead.

"Come in," His deep and powerful voice came out.

I walked in. It was all dark in his office. I looked up to find him. The scattered lights in the night sprinkled on the person standing in front of the French window, with a unique charm, his back still so handsome.

"Where have you been all these years?"

I was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to ask so directly. I didn't know how to answer yet, and then I heard his deep voice again, "I just heard that your family is no longer rich. How does it feel to live a poor life for a few years?"

How could I not hear his sarcasm? You always have to pay for what you've done in this world.

He used to listen to me obediently and follow my orders.

But at this point, the situation had clearly changed.

My pride had been completely worn away in these seven years.

But for him, I was somewhat at a loss.

"Hmm... Mr. Wood, I've brought the data here. We..."

Before I could finish my words, he rushed over and grabbed my wrist harshly, saying, "Answer me! Didn't you say you would support me all the time? How come you disappeared..."

I lowered my eyelids. Emery had changed, becoming much more powerful than before.

At that time, we were both in high school. He was the only one in their town who was admitted to a prestigious high school in the province, while I had always been a carefree girl in the provincial capital. When I saw him during enrollment, I crazily pursued him, indeed causing him a lot of trouble...

"I was young and silly. And now I've got a taste of my own medicine." I joked, trying to change the subject. "After so many years, you've become so capable now. You deserve my love back then."

"But I've been looking for you."

I flashed a hint of surprise in my eyes, but quickly suppressed it.

"Looking for me?" I was somewhat surprised. After all, everyone said that Emery hated me the most after I dumped him.

"Looking for me to support you? Obviously you don't need it anymore. Besides, you're already married, aren't you?

To be honest, as you can see, I'm just a common assistant now. I have no money."

I hid from his gaze, unable to hide the bitterness in my heart, and said casually.
