Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband

Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Christmas Eve.
 

Ever since her identity was revealed, Emily Walker suddenly felt as if she had transformed from an obscure, dull pearl into a dazzling diamond in an instant.

These days, not only did her colleagues at the company try to curry favor with her, but even some high-ranking department heads spoke to her with smiling faces.

She didn’t really like this feeling.

Today was December 24, and it was a rare occasion when it snowed heavily.

By 5 PM, the snow had stopped, and the sprawling city was treated to a rarely seen snowy landscape.

Looking out at the white expanse outside the window and then at the comprehensive office, many people’s office desks were adorned with a beautifully wrapped Apple.

These were gifts exchanged among colleagues, but she hadn’t noticed the significance of this day and hadn’t prepared anything to give her colleagues in return.

Perhaps because of her unique identity, quite a few people had sent her Peaceful Fruit, but she didn’t accept them without merit and didn’t prepare anything in return, so she politely refused them all.

In the past, when her father Wilson Carter was alive, he would send Peaceful Fruit to her and her little brother every Christmas Eve. But since he fell ill, she and her little brother hadn’t felt this atmosphere for several years.

That’s right, I wonder if Little Brother has to work tonight!

With this thought, Emily quickly took out her cell phone and flipped to her little brother Wallace Carter’s contacts.

But just at this moment, a voice rang out in the comprehensive office.

“Excuse me, which one of you is Lady Avie?”

A young man in a hoodie and a baseball cap appeared in the large office.

Emily, who was already sitting near the front door, couldn’t help but stand up when she heard the voice.

“I am.” She looked blankly at the young man, who seemed to be dressed like a college student working part-time, just like her little brother.

Upon hearing this, the young man approached, “Hello, I’m Wallace’s colleague, and this is something your little brother asked me to bring to you.”

The takeaway restaurant where Wallace worked was holding Peace Activities today, so it was incredibly busy.

Knowing that a colleague was delivering takeout here, he brought a gift for her as well.

Emily looked at the box the young man handed her, with an exquisitely wrapped Peaceful Fruit on top of it.

At this moment, her phone on the table also rang.

She accepted the box and Peaceful Fruit, nodded, and thanked the boy before returning to her seat.

Seeing the incoming call, it was from Wallace.

“Hello?”

“Sister, Merry Christmas Eve!” Wallace’s clear voice rang out on the phone.

“Thank you, I was just about to call you.”

“Yeah? Did you get everything?”

“Yes, it’s lovely!”

“That’s great! I’ll get back to work, then!” With that, Wallace was ready to hang up the phone.

It was only by stealing a moment away from his hectic work at the store that he had found these two minutes to call his sister.

Seeing that he was about to end the call, Emily anxiously said, “Wait!”

“What’s up?”

“It’s Christmas Eve, let’s have dinner together!” Emily suggested, not wanting him to spend the night alone.

However, Wallace already had other plans.

“I might not have time. The shop is super busy today, and we’ll be working until 11 PM. Afterwards, we’re all going to celebrate Christmas Eve together at the store!”

Upon hearing this, Emily couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She had originally thought about inviting her little brother to Baron Stuart’s villa.

“I see, well, have fun!” Although a bit disheartened, she still smiled, happy that he would have company.

After hanging up, the list of contacts displayed Baron Stuart’s name just above her little brother’s.
