Chapter 5


    Chapter 5 Emily’s Substitute


    After exchanging pleasantries, Emily took James’s arm and followed Lily to the CEO’s


    office.


    Be craned her neck and looked at their backs with envy. “Mr. Evans personally picked her up and


    escorted her on her first day of work? That HAS to mean he still loves her!”


    Olivia patted her shoulder and said, “It’s not just that. She’s only just returned to the country and she’s


    already taking over as CEO, so the old shareholders may not bepletely convinced she’s up to the


    task. By personally escorting her on her first day, Mr. Evans is warning everyone that she has


    simr to our new CEO?”


    Olivia also came over to take a close look.


    “Jesus… you do look a bit like her, Amelia. But honestly I think you’re way prettier!”


    “Don’t be rid iculous,” Amelia said abruptly,


    and then she got up and went to the


    bathroom.


    “What’s up with her?” Be looked at Amelia’s thin back and asked worriedly.


    Olivia sneered and said, “Maybe she’s jealous because she thinks Emily is so much luckier than her,


    even though they practically have the same face!”


    Be didn’t continue. Olivia had always


    been two-fa ced, so it was better not to talk


    to her too much.


    Amelia entered the bathroom and quickly


    took out some medicine to relieve the pain


    in her heart. She was so anxious that she


    swallowed it down without drinking any


    water.


    After calming down for a few long moments, she turned on the faucet, sshed her face with cold


    water, and looked up at her reflection.


    It was clear that Amelia’s illness was


    ravaging her body, her cheeks sunken and her skin dull. ‘But Emily…’


    While she was in a daze, the bathroom door opened, and in came Emily, her high heels clicking with


    each step.


    Her face was soft and delicate, with a


    rosy glow, and she exuded an effortless


    elegance.


    It was like Be said. She wasn’t just


    beautiful. She was educated, ssy,


    sessful… Everything that Amelia was


    not.


    When her eyes met Emily’s, she felt inferiority pierce through her chest. She quickly lowered her head,


    pulled out a tissue, and turned to leave.


    “Wait a minute.” Emily suddenly called out


    to her.


    Amelia froze on the spot.


    She felt a strange sense of sh ame flow


    through her, after spending so many years as this woman’s “substitute”.


    Emily walked up to her and smiled gently.


    You’re an assistant in the CEO’s office,


    right? Was it ‘Amelia?””


    Amelia tried to calm her pounding heart,


    lowered her head, and nodded at Emily.


    “Yes that’s right, Ms. Moore.”


    “Nice to meet you again, Amelia.” Emily raised the watch on her wrist, looked at the time, and said to


    her, “I’m going to hold a board meeting in half an hour. Can you


    make me a coffee and send it to my office? | need a little ‘pick-me-up’.”


    Amelia was a little hesitant. James was still


    in the president’s office, after all. But she


    had not resigned yet, so she still had to do


    whatever Emily asked her to.


    Amelia had no choice but to nod, thinking


    she would ask Be to bring the coffee in


    her ce.


    “Thank you,” Emily said, and walked out with her head held high, the textbook image


    of a CEO.


    Her confidence and brilliance were a stark


    contrast to Amelia.


    She felt as though she was like a counterfeit Emily. Useless, something to be discarded. Just like


    James did to her


    Amelia stood there motionless for a while


    before she collected herself, exited the


    bathroom, and went straight to the break


    room.


    She made a simple coffee and went to ask


    one of the others to send it to the CEO’s


    office.


    However, they had already been called to perform other tasks, so she had to bring it


    herself.


    Amelia timidly knocked twice on the office


    door.


    “Come in please.” Emily’s gentle voice came from inside.


    After taking a deep breath, she summoned the courage to open the door and enter.


    When she opened the door, she saw Emily sitting on James’sp.


    Although she was men tally prepared to see


    James, she hadn’t expected this sight. Her


    hands trembled, and she struggled not to


    spill the coffee all over the floor.


    Afraid that the two of them would notice her


    difort, she quickly lowered her eyes and pretended as if nothing was wrong.


    “Ms. Moore, here is your coffee.”


    Emily was a little embarrassed and said to Amelia, “Just leave it here, thank you.”


    Amelia nodded, put the coffee on Emily’s desk, and turned to walk out. She didn’t


    look at James once the whole time.


    After leaving the CEO’s office, Amelia’s legs


    buckled under her. She leaned against the


    wall to regain her bnce.


    The way Emily sat sofortably in hisp… It reminded Amelia of how James would position her in


    the same way, when they would have s ex.


    Although the two didn’t do anything explicit, Amelia’s mind was flooded with images of them together


    before, moaning and grinding and loving each other. She imagined James’s hands touching Emily’s


    body while she sat in hisp, the same way that James had touched her first.


    But no… that wasn’t correct. It wasn’t her


    that James touched first. He had definitely made love to Emily in that position, and


    so many more, long before she ever came along.


    Because she… was just his substitute lover.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
