288 I Want to Go

"Elias, if Mr. Dean can take Samantha out for fun, why can't you take me out for a walk too?" Emily pouted.

"Every day, I'm either stuck at home or in school. Before you found me, I could still go shopping with friends. However, ever since you found me, I don't have any friends anymore, just you. So, can you take me out for a stroll?" Upon hearing Emily's complaint, Elias felt a pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Emily. I thought you'd want to rest at home during your break. Since you want to go out, how about you wait here for a bit? I'll go get the car and take you out for some fun."

If only Elias could care for me like what Finley does to Samantha...

Emily suddenly remembered something and asked, "Elias, didn't you say that Mr. Dean has a bidding at his company today?"Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

""Yes." Elias nodded.

"Can we go there?"

He hesitated for a moment. "The bidding will be crowded, and only those participating can enter. So, how about we just stick to shopping instead? Let's skip the bidding." Skip it? No way.

I want to see if Hazel would be there. If she is, I can flaunt my connection with Finley and make her regret treating me poorly.

Moreover, the fact that only participants can attend would make my presence even more special. It would show just hot mportant I am to Finley.

Even though I'm practically invisible to him, as long as others believe I'm important, that would be enough.

The more Emily thought about it, the more she wanted to attend the bidding.

She moved closer to Elias, clinging to his arm and pleading, "Elias, I've never seen what a bidding looks like. Besides, only participants can enter, right? But you're good friends with Mr. Dean. Even if you me,

he wouldn't turn you away, would he?"

In the past, Finley might not have rejected me, but now...

Elias wasn't so sure.

took

He had recently offended Finley's precious woman, Samantha, with a careless remark. Being turned away now seemed like a real possibility.

Not wanting to admit defeat in front of Emily, Elias seriously tried to dissuade her. "Emily, the bidding will be boring. You won't know anyone there, and Finley will be locked away in a meeting room the whole time. We wouldn't even get to see him. So, how about I take you shopping for some new clothes or bags instead? Let's forget about the bidding, okay?""

Nevertheless, Emily was determined to go. The more Elias tried to talk her out of it, the more eager she became to attend.

Clinging to his arm even tighter, she continued to beg. Elias, even if the bidding is boring, I still want to go. Take me, please? I'm begging you."

Elias was at a loss. Why is she so determined to attend the bidding? What's so fun about it?

He was helpless. "Emily, I really think we should..."
