Chapter 41 No Red Pepper


    Feeling dizzy, Emma rubbed her head, until what happenedst night came back to her. She felt as if


    she saw Samuelst night. But she was not so sure.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Who was it? Emma''s face turned pale when she saw what was on the desk. A check for 500, 000 USD,


    on which the signature read: Felix Fei.


    What the hell? What did Felix take her for?


    Emma clenched the check in her fist. She must get away from him, or there would be more trouble.


    On six o''clock in the morning.


    E quietly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.


    Two bowls of millet congee, two sandwiches and two heart shaped fried eggs.


    She heard a slight sounding from the bedroom. The the door opened. Samuel came out.


    "Honey!" E trotted cheerfully towards him, and called him with delight.


    Samuel felt his morning was lightened. "Morning, dear." He held E''s head in his hands, pulled her


    towards him, and kissed her softly.


    E felt really satisfied at that moment. She hoped they could be together in the rest of their life.


    "Honey, breakfast is ready. Go wash up and I''ll wait for you at the table."


    They ate breakfast in happiness, talking andughing, and went to thew office together.


    In the meeting room.


    Today was thest time to discuss with Emma''s periodical office about the issues that should be


    noticed on court. Emma would be the intiff on behalf of her office.


    Emma didn''t make any trouble this time, so the meeting moved on smoothly.


    E went to the tea room to refill Samuel''s cup.


    Outside of the meeting room, Anna was making a dinner reservation on the phone. "No red pepper


    please, one of the guests is allergic to red peppers. Yes. No coriander and green onion, either. That is


    all."


    Allergic to red peppers? Who? Samuel? Though E never saw Samuel eat any red pepper, she never


    heard him talk about it.


    "Anna, is Samuel allergic to red peppers?" When Anna hung up the phone, E asked out of curiosity.


    A slight sign of awkwardness shed in Anna''s eyes when she saw E. "Miss Gu is allergic to red


    peppers." Anna had worked for Samuel for six years, so she had seen Emma a lot before.


    As long as Emma was with him, Samuel would explicitly ask his assistant to book some food without


    red pepper, coriander and green onion.


    Therefore almost all his senior assistants knew Miss Gu didn''t eat red pepper, coriander, or green


    onion.


    Miss Gu? Emma Gu? E was a little relieved to know it was Emma. So she also knew her


    weaknesses!


    "Ah, thank you. I have to rush to the tea room." E held Samuel''s cup in her hands, and walked to the


    tea room thoughtfully.


    When she left, Catherine suddenly came out from nowhere. After Anna and she nodded to each other,


    Catherine watched E walk away.


    It was a good chance, and she wouldn''t let it go.


    E suddenly thought of another important thing when she came out from the tea room.


    Samuel could book a meal with no red peppers for Emma. Did he know that E liked spicy food?


    At that thought, E stopped her pace. Did she make a fuss now?


    But she was really upset.


    Samuel was really busy at noon, so he asked E to have lunch with Felix on his behalf.


    Ask E to go on his behalf? She was worried lest she would force red peppers down Emma''s throat.


    E thought.


    She agreed at the end when she saw Samuel was up to his neck. Anna and Catherine went to have


    lunch together.


    Emma wasn''t too active since Samuel didn''t show up. She paid full attention to the food, and chatted


    with Catherine sometimes.


    Felix sat beside Emma, and was also trying to find some topic to talk with her.


    E went to thedies room before all the dishes were ready. Not long after, a bowl of pot shrimp was


    served.


    And when E returned, everyone started eating the shrimp.


    Catherine put a shrimp onto Emma''s te, "Have a shrimp, sister." It looked so normal so no one had


    noticed.


    It was 1 pm when Samuel received a phone call from Anna. He just picked up a pair of chopsticks and


    was about to have lunch.


    He frowned after he listened to what Anna said.


    Anna had already told the restaurant that Emma was allergic to red peppers. Why would such thing


    happen? So, someone must have done something to the food.


    Samuel put down the chopsticks, quickly grabbed his suit coat, put it on and rushed towards the


    hospital.


    Samuel called E on his way to the hospital. E didn''t go to the hospital. She was going back to the


    "You go back and have some rest. I have to go to the hospital to check up on her." Samuel told her.


    E nodded, "Okay."


    E was a little disturbed after the ident. She didn''t know why.


    In the hospital.


    Emma almost freaked out. She hid herself in the hospital nket. Due to her allergy, her face was


    covered in a telltale rash. It would not recover soon.


    Samuel pulled open the ward door in a hurry and walked in. In the room stood the restaurant manager,


    Catherine and Anna.


    The manager was anxiously making his pledge to Catherine, "We had received the phone call from


    Miss Yun, and I was supervising our cook when they were cooking. I can promise, there is no red


    pepper in the food."


    Catherine wasn''t listening to him at all. "Look at my sister''s face! We''ll see you in the court!"


    "What happened?" Samuel''s cold voice sounded, and the room quieted down.


    Anna walked to him immediately and briefed him what happened at noon.


    At lunch, Emma started to feel bad after eating the pot shrimp. Not long after, her face broke out into a


    rash, and she began to notice in shock that there was red pepper in the dish.


    But it was toote. Anna and Catherine quickly sent her to the hospital.


    Anna ate the shrimp. It did taste spicy.


    The manager walked to Samuel, stood in front of him and spoke to him mannerly, "Mr Shao, we have


    cooperated with yourw firm for a long time and never made mistakes before. I can also assure you


    this time that there is not the slightest amount of red pepper in the pot shrimp."


    The monitoring record was brought up too. No sign of red pepper was seen in the video.


    That was very strange. Catherine suddenly asked, "Was that done by someone on purpose? Where is


    E Bo? Why is she not here?"


    Samuel frowned at her words. Why was Catherine always against E? E was with her a few days


    ago. She must have been greatly wronged.


    "Miss Gu, watch your mouth. You have no evidence. E doesn''t even know Emma was allergic to red


    peppers." How could she possibly do anything to the food?


    Right then, Anna spoke up with hesitation, "Mr Shao, Mrs. Shao knew that..."


    Her words made the whole ward quiet down.
