Alex looked at her; his expression was unhappy, but more than that, he felt guilty:
"You still want to go to the party like this?"
"Of course I do. I used to be a little afraid of the dark; now I think I'm a little more afraid. But as long as I see the light, I'm fine."
Alex didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly:
"Do you really want to go?"
"Alex, although I don't know what the editor-in-chief's purpose is, this is an opportunity that I worked so hard to get. I have to go."
No need to guess, it must be assistant Cherry colluding with someone. And it was easy to guess who, in the company, there were only a few people who didn't like her. But now was not the time to pursue that. The more he wanted her to be absent, the more she had to be there.
Alex looked at Emma's face, which was still wet with tears but full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help but smile weakly:
"Okay."
