Emma Green opened her eye to a very dark room.She couldn't see her fingures in front of her eyes. She could only hear a man's heavy breathing and feel some unfamiliar pain. She tried to push the man away, but it was like sending her fist through cotton. It was all useless. She couldn't shout. She could only pray in her heart that the pain would stop. When she woke up again, she saw the morning sun outside. Emma looked looked around the unfamiliar room. The scene from last night appeared in her mind. She sat up abruptly and felt a brust of pain. When she got out of bed and saw the spots of red on the sheets, she clenched her fists. It wasn't a dream...

        The bathroom door opened, and a man walked out. When she saw his face, she fell onto the bed. Moritified. How could it be him?

The man wore only a towel. He glanced at her and said casually, ''You're awake?''

Emma swallowed hard. She was nervous and uneasy as she struggled to stand up.

"Robert... Mr. Erickson."

The man causually dried the water from his hair. "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. You go in and wash up first." She lowered her eyes."No need. I... I still have things to do; i have to go first."

"Emma, don't you want to talk about what happened last night?"

         Emma blushed. How could she explain something like this? Did she really need to explain to him to him that she had too much to drink and didn't remember what had happened?

She exhaled and looked up at Robert. "Mr Erickson, listen, this this was my first... And I don't have any diseases, alright.

Futhermore, I don't think that you suffered any loss last night. So, can you just pretend this didn't happen?" Even through she sounded very confident, her last sentence felt very weak.

"I know you're clean. After all, I have heard all about you."

She blushed harder. Did he have to say it out loud like that? So awkward.

"I just wanted to ask you if there's anything I need to do for you.

I didn't think you'd want me to use money to get rid of you.""

Emma was stunned. "i don't need anything like that. Just need you to keep this a secret."

"That's all?"

"Yes," Emma replied seriously.

Robert raised his eyebrow and looked at slim girl in front of him. In the end, he nodded expressionlessly.

Emma grabbed her clothes and bag and left the hotel room quickly.

Robert smiled a confident smile. This woman...Interesting.

Emma Green had only one thought in her mind. She wanted to leave Robert Erickson's presence immediately.

In Northern City, that 27-year-old CEO of the Erikson Emblem Corporation represented power, wealth, and... danger.

If you listened to the rumors, in order to become the CEO of the Erickson Emblem Corporation, Robert killed his oldest brother and crippled his other brother. With no other inheritors, he took over the position easily.

If there was a person in this world that Emma didn't even dare to think about, it him, Robert Erickson. The person that she had foolishly slept with. The person who was now standing in front of her in nothing but a towel. If only she had retained her senses the previous night because the Erickson Emblem Corporation was the biggest business rival of the Meyer Group of Industries. If it was up to her, she wouldn't have anything to do with the Meyer family for the rest of her life.

After leaving hotel, she kicked herself.

"After you crazy?A needle in a haystack is easier to find than Robert Erickson. Why did you..." If anyone from the Meyer family found out about this, she would be beyond embarrassed. She really didn't want to think about the consequences. Then, her phone rang. She looked at the ID. It was Robert.

Her fingures trembled. He has never called her phone before.

Why was he calling her now? If she didn't answer the phone, would she look guilty? A long moment passed before she finally picked up the phone."Mr.Erickson."

"As compensation for unintentionally being your first, I will give you a condition. You can ask me to do something for you at any time...except to make me fall in love with you."

Emma was stunned for a moment and then said coldly, "Mr Erickson, I think you misunderstood. I did not go out to give myself away."

Robert raised his eyebrows.

Emma continued, "So I don't need to trade my first time for anything. In fact, I plan now to officialy quit working, because from today onwards, i will be busy with my graduation thesis. So I won't be available to tutor your brother anymore. We will not see each other again. So, I'm going to wish you a prosperous business and a good life. Goodbye." After she finished speaking, she ended the call.

On the other end of the phone, Robert's mouth twitched.

We won't see each other again? Was this woman telling him what to do? Heh, did she think she would really have the final say?

He moved his phone away from his ear and started at the screen.

Emma Green, you are the first woman to ever hang up on me.

Emma wanted to run away from this luxe villa area where she did not fit in. But she only managed to take one step before she almost fell down.

Damn it, what did Robert do to her last night? Did he give her something? This was...too painfu

In the afternoon, she recevied a call from the principal of her university. After that, she walked into the principal's office with a serious expression.

The principal looked sophisticated,classy, wearing proper dress and looking down at a thin, exhausted Emma.

"Emma, I know you are a talented girl and also very smart. But smith family has a certain image to uphold. Can we really take in orphan as our daughter-in-law? So, the decision I'm asking you to make is quit important. You chose our dear Ted once, but you have lost your job. Forcing you to give up on Ted to stay on school."

Emma's expression stayed clam.

Speaking at the same time as the

principle, she said, "I am an orphan."

"Technically, but to us, it doesn't really

make any difference."

She clenched her fists.Even though her mother passed away, being considered an orphan was much better than being the illegitimate daughter of the Meyer family, wasn't it?

Without thinking, she said, "I choose to stay in school."

Mirand Smith was very suprised by Emma's answer this time. This choice was different from her previous three answers.

"You won't go back on your word after getting your job, will you?"

"If you are afraid that I will go back on my word, I can write you an agreement right now. I will break up with Ted."

When Emma left the office building, she found that it was raining. She rushed into the rain and started running aaway from the building. She still had students to tutor. Now that her boyfriend was out of the picture, and the Erickson family's work had gone to waste, she couldn't afford to lose another job.

When she ran through the school gate, a familiar car stopped in front of her. The door opened, and a couple stepped out.The man held an umbrella for himself and the woman next to him.

"Emma." The woman ran toward her from under the umbrella and took hold of her hand tightly. "Emma," she said. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Be mad at me; yell at me." Behind them, the man quickly stepped forward and held his umbrella over their heads. He looked at Emma with guilt.

"Emma, I really don't know what happend what happened yesterday, I..."

She looked at the two people infront of her and did not know whether to laugh or cry. This felt like the same old story, without any new meaning. But she thought it only happened in vulgar novels. One of them was her boyfriend, and the other was her roommate and best friend. This whole tragedy started with them, making love behind her back... Until she walked in on them yesterday.That was why she got drunk last night.

Emma paid no attension to the woman.

She only looked at Ted Her expression went cold. "Ted," she said. "Do you know why i chose you as boyfriend out of all the other guys?"

" THANK YOU FOR READING"

Ted lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. His face was full of guilt. Emma smiled. "Because you said that I was very warm."

The other woman stepped forward and blocked Emma's view of Ted. "Emma, its my falut. I seduced Ted. It's me... It's me who is shameless. He is good man.

Don't blame him, okay?"

Emma tried her best to remain clam. She glanced at her friend and saidto Ted, "They all said everyonehas to pay a price for their youth. You are probably the most painful price I have to pay my youth. Ted, I have to thank you for teaching me how to grow."

"I'm sorry, Emma. Ted couldn't do anything beyond apologizing. Emma sighed and shook her head. "Ted, you don't have to feel sorry for me. We are even now. Because of you, I got job I wanted. You don't owe me anything. And you, you, Kristen, remember, from the moment you jumped into Ted's bed, we were no longer friend. "She made a small gesture toward Ted. "You can have him, but I have one request for you. That is, don't pretend to be friendly with me in the future, because I will not wate my friendship and good will on you. Now I have to run to make it on time to my tutoring session, so I won't play romantic with you two in the poouring rain.

Goodbye. "After she finished speaking, she took a step back, by passing the two of them, and quickiy ran to the other side of the road.

     Becauise she was too distracted, she never saw the black Bentley turning into the school's parking lot. By the time she reacted, it was already too late. The car struck her. She staggered two step back and fell to the ground.

Ted, who was behind her, exclamied,

"Emma."

Just as he about to run forward, he saw Emma, who had her back to him, barely stand up.

  Without a uword, she limped to the car, opened the door, and sat in the car. She did not were still people in the car. She didn't look carefully at who was sitting next to her, but she uwatched Ted as he walked toward her. She shouted to the driver, "Take me to Elm Road. Otherwise, I will have to sue you or bumping into me." The driver was a little worried. He look into the rearview mirrior at the man in the car.

The man's voice was graceful. "Do as this lady says."

The driver put the car in reverse and left the school.

After several silent moments of driving, Emma started out the car window. Her thought blurry with confusion and sadness, especially when she thought of Ted. He would never know what she did last night because of him. She really regretted it now, she had lost Ted, her best friend, and her virginity. Thinking about it sadly, she would always think of yesterday as... The worst day of her life.

   From beside her, the man handed her a small, white toilwel. "You're all wet. Try to dry off a bit."

Emma come back to her sense and took the towel, "I'm sorry. I dirtied your... Mr. Erickson?"

Finally, she saw the main sitting beside her. It was none other than Robert Erickson, whom she had clearly told just this morning that she would never see again. Emma was so suprised that she couldn't say a single word.

"What? Are you suprised to see me?"

"This... "Emma started, then hesitated for a moment. "Why are you here?"

"Miss Green, do I have to remind you thatthis is my car?"

So distracted, Emma forced herself to remember what happened and how. That his driver had struck her, and then she opened the door, without paying attention, and force herself into the car But, all she could do was focus on the rain. "Oh, I'm so sorry. "She countinue to pat herself and the seat with the small towel. "I dirtied your car. After the rain stops, I'll wash it for you."

      When the car arrived at Elm road, it stopped. Emma opened the door and started to get out of the car.

Robert said to the driver, "Get an umbrella for Miss Green."

The driver picked up a umbrella, got out of the car, then turned back to face Robert and said, "Mr. Erickson, thank you for today." "Words of thanks are not sincere at all. I want to see your actual actions. "Robert's expression turned flat, nearly cold.

Although his words made sense, Emma felt like there was something more to how he meant them. Something felt wrong with what he said. "Take care." She took a step back from the car, turned around, and limped towards the nearby neighborhoos.

As te driver started to pull away, Robert said to the driver, "Stop the car." After the car stopped, he opened another umbrella and got out of the back seat, He caught up to Emma and reached out to stop her.

She turned back, suprised to see that it was him. "Mr. Erickson?

"Get in the car."

"Why?"

"You're injured. You have to go to the hospital." He looked at her with suprise, wondering hoe this woman could care so little about her own body. "Do you not see that you are injured?"

Emma looked down at her torso and legs. "I'll be fine after two days of rest."

"Are you a doctor? Can you treat your own injuries? Get in the car." After he finished speaking, without any explanation, he stuffed his umbrella into her hands and moved to pick her up by supporting her shoulders and kness, cradling her in his arms. Without another word, he walked back toward the car.

Emma exclaimed at the show of brute force, and the umbrella in her left hand fell to the ground.

Robert ignored the umbrella and put her back into the car.

She started to sit up, to deny his help.

Anxious, she insisted, "No, I can't go to the hospital. "No, I can't go to the hospital. I have a scheduled tutoring session I can't miss."

"Still tutoring? But you said you were quitting. That you could no longer tutor my brother Samuel?"

"I..." Emma panicked, struggled for the right words, Then, she finally said, "Because that was the truth."

Robert snorted and got into the car. He said coldly to the driver, "Go to the hospital."

Emma looked at the neighborhood through the window. Anxiety gripped her, but she could not say anything. After all, she was also feeling guilty.

          When they arrived at the hospital, he took her to the Orthopedics Department. The doctor asked her which part of her body hurt. She blushed. "I don't feel any pain

The doctor looked at Robert awkwardly, then said, "Miss, why you come to the hospital for an examination? If something is wrong, we need your full cooperation.

Robert crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly, "Just give her a full check-up."

Emma immediately rejected that. "No need, there's no need. How much does that cost? I don't want to do it."

"You must do it. I will pay the fee. I need to prevent you from coming at me with any kind of blackmail in the future. It is clear that you are not feeking well. It is clearly the result of today's car accident."

Emma looked at him with an angry expression on her face. "I wouldn't do that.''

''People are unpredictable. In order to stop tutoring my brother, someone said that they were busy with their graduation thesis, but when they needed my assistance, I found out they lied. People who are willing to tell such small lies can't be trusted with big promises. Everyone can pretend to be onnocent."

Emma knew he was telling the truth. "I..." Didn't she change her mind about tutoring Samuel because she didn't want to be embarrassed in the future?

The doctor made a list and asked the nurse to take Emma for a full check-up. When Emma and the nurse left the room, she secretly asked, "How much does this examination cost?"

The nurse took a look and said, "More than six hundered dollars."

Emma immediately snatched the sheet from the nurse and limped back toward Robert. "I want to talk to you private."

"What is it?" Robert asked.

Emma bit her lip. "I really don't need the full check-up. My leg is fine. The part that hurts is not my leg. It is..." She lowered her eye and blushed."

Robert frowned in confusion. "Where is it?"

She looked up angrily and glared at him. "You hurt me more than your stupid driver did!" She rested her open hand against the lowest part of her abdomen.

Robert looked down into her face

Emma blushed and turned around stubbornly. "Anyway, I don't need to see a doctor." She stuffed the examination sheet into his hand. "I have to go back. Otherwise, I will really be fired."

Robert looked at her back and smirked. He stepped forward and reached out to stop her and pull her back.

"What's the matter?"

"You clearly know where you are uncomfortable. Of course, you want to see a doctor."

"It's too awkward," said Emma. She was shocked. Who would come to see a doctor for something like this?

Robert's expression changed, and his voice took on a domineering tone. "Should I carry you, or do you want to follow me obediently?"

Seeing his serious face, she thought that he should be taking this more seriously. After hesitating for a moment, she let out a gloomy sigh and went to the Gynecology Department with him.

The director of the Gynecology Department personally examined her.

She lay on the examination table, feeling indescribably awkward.Fortunately, Robert did not follow her in. Otherwise, all of this would be far too embarrasing.

After the examination, the doctor told her she could get down from the table and put her clothes back on.

When she pulled the curtain back and came out, Robert was sitting there waiting.

The doctor said, "Mr. Erickson, there was some swelling and minor bleeding found during my examination. More than likely, it is due to an intense sexual incident, which caused the abrasions; most likely, within the last twelve hours."

Emma closed her eyes, so embarrassed at how clinical it all sounded. At how easy it was for the doctor to inform this man, clearly not a member of her family.

Robert was very calm. "What kind of treatment does she need?

"I will prescribe some pain medicine for her. She needs to remember to take her medicine on the time. During this period of time, you need to restrain your sexual activities. Even if you really need to restrain your sexual activites. Even if you really need it, try your best not to, but if you do, refrain from using any tools or toys..." The doctor's tone shifted, and Emma couldn't look at either of them.

Tools? Emma was puzzled. What did he mean tools or toys? Had Robert even used tools... Or toys on her? Last night, she had been half-awake and half-asleep. There were so many details that she couldn't remember at all.

So, even though this man looked gentel and refined, could it be that he was a pervert? She opened her eyes, glared at him, and questioned everything she thought she knew about him. His beautiful image collapsed with a bang.

What's the use of having a nice car, nice clothes, lot of money? What's the use of being handsome? He's a pervert.

After coming out of the hospital, Emma snatched the package of medicine from his hands. "I'm not paying you back for this exam. Anyway, the injury was caused by you." She stuffed the medicine into her bag. "Listen, ,Mr. Erickson, let's part ways here. We definitely won't meet again in the future." She turned around and was about to leave.

Robert glared at her, his tone indignant. "I was tricked by you. Why are you getting angry?"

He was a pervert. "This is my problem."

"In my opinion, you are angry at me. So, this is about and me."

Emma was speechless. He really knew how to talk.

"If you don't have a reason, then tomorrow, I hope, Miss Green, you can come to the house at the scheduled time and give Samuel the tutoring session you were hierd for."

"Like I said, I quiet. I quiet."

"Miss Green, you should also know that I have ways of making sure you can't be a tutor from now on, for anyone else."

"You are too much of a bully."

"Didn't you lie first?"

Emma was so angry. She pushed the next thing she said through clenched teeth. "Then I want more money."

"Oh, Miss Green want to raise the price?"

"That's right."

"Sure. I can give you any amount of money you want, but you better not be late." After saying that, he stopped again and turned to look at her. "What are you so angry about?"

She stubbornly looked away.

"Speak."

"I just didn't think that you would be into such kinky stuff, I mean, especially since you look like such a sophisticated gentelmen."

"What kind of kinky stuff do you think I'm into?"

"You used a sex toy on me when I was sleeping. You hurt me, you pretend nothing happened."

Robert sneered, "So, you thought? The doctor said it, and I heard it clearly."

"What do you mean by 'thought'? The doctor said it, and I heard it clearly."

"The doctor is just guessing, but I wouldn't use a thing like that. It's too boring."

"Then how did I get hurt?"

Robert raised his eyebrows, turned around, and started to walk away as he said, "I'm not exactly a small guy."

Because of the time spent at the hospital, she was already more than half an hour late when she finally arrived for her tutoring session. In order to make up for her mistakes, she waived today's tution fees for the child. When she came out of of the student's house, it was alreay dark. Emma ended up taking the bus back to school. When she got to the dormitory, only Kristen was there. She looked at Emma with a sour expression.

Emma said coldly, "Kristen, move out." She walked to her side of the table and sat down. She opened a textbook.

"Why?" Kriisten walked towards Emma. "What did I really do wrong? Now that I think about it, Ted slept with me because he has me in his heart. Since you couldn't give him what he wants. Then why didn't you let him go? He already doesn't like you anymore. The person he loves now is me."

Emma closed the book and stood up to look at her. Her eyes were distant and cold. "I couldn't give him what he wanted, because I'm not a prostitute. Also, I definitely wasn't holding him back. I said it already. I don't want Ted anymore. You can have him. But this dormitory, as long as I'm here, you have to leave."

"Really? Then you can move out. Because I won't move out."

Emma coldly laughed. "Okay. But you might regret it." She didn't say anything else. She just sat down and flipped open the book to do the practice questions.

Kristen clenched her fists and glared at her. She snorted and returned to her bed.

The next day, the wholw school was talking about how Emma Green's rommate, the top student, seduced Emma's boyfriend and was discovered by her.

After class, Emma was about to leave when kristen rushed in from outside. She ran up to Emma and cried, "Why are you doing this to me? I like you so much. Why are you slandering mr to our classmates, online?

Emma's expression was cold as she hugged book. She stood up and looked at her with sadness. "Because I was hurt by you. The moment I saw you two in bed, I was really sad and in pain, but I also like you. So, when you said that you could give Ted what he wants and I couldn't, I won't admit it. Why would I spread gossip, too? I have already let him go. What do you want me to do?" She wiped her tears and walked around Kristen.

Kristen was stunned. It felt like Emma was setting a trap here.

The only people who knew the truth were those involved. And now, the 'victim' just put Kristen in her place.

For a moment, Kristen become the most famous mistress in Northen City University. After all, other than begin an outstanding student at Northen City University, Emma was also regarded as the school beauty and a kind of goddess by the boys at Northen City University. In the past, everyone said that Ted must have saved the earth in his previous life in order to win the herat of goddess. But now, everyone saying that Ted was probably blinded by the starlight when he saved the earth.That was why he didn't pick the flowers, and insisted on gathering the fertilizer.

Emma walked out of the office building and was considering whether she should rent a one-bedroom apartment when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Robert Erickson. Why was he calling her now?

She was unhappy as she answered the phone. "Hello," she said "Hello, Mr. Erickson."

"Yes."

"It's not time for Samuel's tutoring yet. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"The whether is good today."

Emma looked up at the cloud sky. "Sure." What else could she say?

"I remember you saying yesterday that after the rain stopped, you would come and wash my car."

Emma stopped in her tracks and simply looked up at the cloudy sky.
