Chapter 209 Fond of Her
Jayden thought that if Samuel hadn’t been a professor and a gentleman, and if he hadn’t promptly retrieved a handkerchief from his suit pocket to wrap up the box of medicine and handed it to Samuel while gesturing for William to leave, a beal might have erupted between the two right in front of the hotel.

“Did i?” William responded, adjusting his sapphire cufflinks. He was clearly in a good mood
“You didn’t? You were aware she’s his girlfriend, yet you still asked him to deliver that to Ms. Hoven.” Jayden paused, unable toplete <b>his </b>sentence.
Why was William acting so maliciously? After a moment of thought, Jayden asked, “Do you truly harbor such a strong dislike for her?”
Seated in the back of the SUV, William rested his elbow on the armrest, his face asionally lit up by passing streetlights. “Dislike who?“”
“Ms. Hoven,” Jayden rified William frowned, giving him a puzzled look.
Jayden pressed on. “Regardless of whether Samuel is her boyfriend, a friend, or someone she’s interested in, your actions <b>would </b>undoubtedly cause Ms. Howen to feel ufortable and embarrassed. Treating her this way, isn’t that a clear Indication of animosity toward her?
William’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I don’t hate her.” In fact, be found himself quite “fond of her at the moment.
Emelie <b>had </b>just finished arranging <b>her </b>tasks for the next day and was about to check her phone for the delivery status of her medication when the doorbell chimed. When she opened the door, she found Samuel standing there.
“Mr. Swanson, what brings you here?” she inquired.
The hotel corridor was bathed warmly in orange light. Samuel stood before her in a beige sweater, his demeanor unusually gentle.
“I went downstairs to pick up medicine for Mnie and happened to meet the delivery person who <b>was </b>bringing your medication. That’s why I thought I’d bring it up to you,” he exined.
Emelie paused briefly, feeling a sudden peng of andety Samuel handed berthe yellow paper bag. She observed the outer packaging and, upon noticing that it was still intact, sighed in relief as she epted it
“Thank you, Mr. Swanson..” she said. However, upon closer inspection, she realised the bag had been opened and hastly resealed.
Emelie bit her lip, meeting Samuel’s gaze. She was certain he had seen the medication. Despite this, Samuel’s demeanor remained gentle as he asked, “Have you had <b>dinner</b>?”
Yes, ordered room service,” she replied.
“Alright. If there’s nothing else, you should get some rest. We had in increase our workload today to meet the deadline, so you must be exhausted,” he said.
“You should get some rest, too,” Emelie replied, her emotions in disarray.
Samuel nodded with a smile and turned to walk back to his room
Emelie closed the door and leaned against it, holding the box of medicine in her hand, uncertain of her next move
The following morning, five cars made their way toward Blossom Clove. Unlike other project sites where groundwork was already underway, Blossom Clove had construction materials piled up at the vige entrance due to vigers‘ reluctance to relocate.

She noticed <b>a </b>gate made out ofballoon Lowers at the vige entrance<b>, </b><b>adorned </b>with <b>a </b><b>banner </b>that read “Wee,” with “Esteemed Guests” below it and “To Our Vige” <b>on </b><b>the </b>Just line
She couldn’t quite discern the intentions of the vigers of Blossom Clove. As the cars pulled into the vige’s open area, Jason Thom, the vige head, and several young men approached to greet them.

Jaxon showed no embarrassment, he smiled and withdrew his hand. “It’s <b>only </b>fitting it’s our way of weing everyone to ensure the prosperity of the vige.”
Jayden emerged from another car and spoke calmly, “Mr. Thom, if you could sign the demolition agreement today, by this time next year, it will benefitnot only us but the entire vige.
Jason chuckled heartily. “We’re simply waiting for you <b>to </b>thoroughly explore and recognize the value of ournd<b>.</b><b>”</b>
Emelie sensed Samuel walking up beside her. She turned to him, and be whispered softly, “stick close to me today.”
Mnie exited the car and went directh to William Without hesitation, she <b>took </b>his hand. “Will, there are so many dogs here. I’m really scared.”
Jon seatched his head. “Oops, my apologies. These are all vige dogs<b>, </b>and they usually roam freely, if they frightened you, I’ll <b>have </b>someone remove them right away.”
As he moved to shoo the dogs away<b>, </b>they suddenly started barking <b>loudly </b>for some unknown reason<b>.</b>
Mnie had been pretending earlier. But now, with the dogs barking loudly, she genuinely felt scared and timidly hid behind William.
Just then, <b>along </b>whistle echoed, causing the dogs to adopt aggressive postures. The bodyguards quickly positioned themselves in front of William and the others
Win lilled his gaze calmly, Depple approached from a distance, casually remarking, “Mr. Middleton, <b>good </b>to see you again.”
