A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 17

Emma looked like a young undergraduate in a tracksuit and wore her hair in a high ponytail. The most noticeable thing about her was that she was very beautiful. When she smiled, there were two sweet dimples on her face, which were incredibly attractive. She smiled at Sarah as she walked in and greeted her, "Hello, are you, Miss Tyler? I'm Emma." Her voice was gentle and soft. It made Sarah feel comfortable.

Sarah didn't see her as a rival when they first met, but she did sense a great distance between them, from her age to her temperament. No wonder Charles described her as a dream girl, no one could compare to her.

Sarah felt a little intimidated, but she dared not to show her insecurity on the surface. She just smiled, "Hello, I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you!" The two girls shook hands, then sat down.

Before ordering the meal, they talked to each other for a while. Looking at Sarah, Emma smiled and talked to Charles, "It is so lucky of you to find such a good girlfriend. You should cherish her."

Charles laughed and answered, "I'm really lucky to have both a good sister and a good girlfriend!"

While Emma and Charles laughed away, Sarah sat beside them, feeling embarrassed as they had so many common interests, and happily chatted with such ease. Sarah was so quiet and didn't like to say too much. Furthermore, their happy chat made her even quieter than before. Although they both tried to chat with her so as not to exclude her from their conversation, she still failed to follow their topics.

When the waiter came to take their order, they finally stopped talking. Charles passed the menu to Sarah to let her order, and the waiter also gave a menu to Emma.

As it happened, Sarah was a little upset when she saw Charles and Emma chatting with each other so excitedly. Therefore, she didn't have much of an appetite. However, Emma seemed to be excited when talking about the dishes on the menu with Charles but never asked Sarah for any suggestions, perhaps just because she saw there was a menu in Sarah's hand.

Maybe that was very normal behavior, but Sarah still felt unhappy and uncomfortable. She looked at the menu and decided to order a sweet and sour dish.

To her surprise, Emma frowned and said, "I don't eat sour food."

Reacting to Emma's complaint, Sarah raised her head and looked at her. Charles asked, "Aren't there many sweet and sour dishes abroad?"

Emma covered her nose and said, "The sweet and sour dishes abroad are different from those at home. My dear brother, don't you know it? What's more, I never eat any sour food of any kind; even smelling it would make me want to be sick."
