Chapter 289_Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 289 Hand–Written Love Letter

 “You keep looking around. What are you looking for?” Charles suddenly asked. He had noticed Emelle was distracted.

 Emelle retracted her attention and said, “It’s nothing.”

 Charles picked up a cocktail from the table and gave it to her. “If you’re looking for Mr. Middleton, he’ll definitely be here tonight.”

 “Mr. Swanson asked me to deliver his regards to Mrs. Matilda, so I’m looking for her,” Emelle said calmly and then refused the cocktail. “Don’t worry about me.”

 Charles sighed as it he was hurt. “Why are you refusing a drink from me? Am 1 so unsuited to be the right man for you? Am I not handsome enough? Is it because I haven’t put in enough effort to court you?”

 “While we’re listing things we don’t understand, allow me. Why are you suddenly so interested in me?”

 Charles replied, “That’s why you shouldn’t have thrown away the flowers thought you. I personally wrote letters to you. If you read them, you’d know why I like you.”

 Emelia paused for a moment and turned to look at him.

 Charles was quite handsome. He had almond–shaped eyes, a tall nose, and an ever–present smile. He sported a tall, and he looked quite dashing in a suit.

 Even then, he still gave her a bad impression.

 The type of impression belonging to someone who flinted around.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

 A man like that would be very popr in entertainment establishments like discos and bars, He was handsome and rich, so if someone were to even share his bed for one night, let alone a ss, they would consider themselves quite lucky.

 However, the were to try to flirt somewhere else, most, if not all women, would avoid himpletely.

 He looked like the sort of flirt that toyed with a woman‘

 Emelie then said, “There was no letter in the bouquet.”

 When she was disposing of the flowers, she had been worried that he had hidden something precious in the bouquet and he would ask her to pay him back if it was valuable. That was why before she threw them away, she gave them a good once–over. That was why she was very sure that there was nothing in them.

 “Maybe I forgot to put them inside,” Charles said with a smile. “But I’ll put it into the bouquet tomorrow, so remember to keep it.”

 Right there. It was like second nature to this man. Lying was so easy for him

 Emelie didn’t respond. He probably had nothing to do, so out of boredom he was trying to spend his time with her. If she refused him too strongly, it might awaken his desire to conquer her that was somon in men e him who were used to having praise heaped on them He wouldn’t let her go if that happened.

 If it got too far, she might have to turn to William.

 That was why she would rather just put him aside. Once he had been ignored a few times and realised how boring she could be, he would eventually stop.

 Emelie grabbed a cocktail herself and took a sip. From the corner of her eye, she saw William enter the banquet hall

 She really wasn’t trying to notice him.

 The reason that she even saw hime in was because, no matter where he was, he would always be the most eye–catching man

 He was wearing a three–piece suit consisting of a jackost, vest, and shirt. The fabric was thick and of good quality material, but it didn’t make him look bulky or old–fashioned Instead, it aplished the feat of emphasizing his aloof temperament to the fullest,

 The moment he entered the banquet hall, heid his eyes on no one, If others did this, it would be seen as arrogance. But it was only natural for him to be of such pride thanks to

 his status.

 William hade, as expected.

 However, he was there with a partner. That was what surprised Elie

 It wasn’t Daphne. It was Elena

 Charles opted to say at this moment, “The reason I know that he was definiteling is because Elena told me that she would be attending with him.”

 Emelie then replied, “I set.”

 She thought to herself that everyone who was anyone already gossiped and reported to the tabloids when he came to parties with Daphne. So, why did he not take Daphne this time but Elena instead?

 Charles managed to satisfy her curiosity at this time. “Elena has epted Mr. Middleton’s invitation and joined Clouder Corporation. She’s currently in charge of a project in Cloudex Corporation.”

 Emelie politely responded. “She’s a great woman.

 Charles looked at her with mixed emotions at how she was handling it so well. “Weren’t you looking for him? I’ll take you over there so you can greet him.”

 Emelle didn’t even respond but Charles had already walked her over, cupping her small waist without waiting for her permission. With a smile, he called out, “Mr. Middleton.” Wim’s eyes fell on Emelle. When he saw Charles‘ hand on her waist, he said in a cold tone, “Mr. Davis.”

 Emelie had pulled her wits together. With a natural expression, she greeted him. “Mr. Middleton”

 William Inked at her for three seconds without a change in his expression. He simply raised his eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you working for Swanson Corporation now? Why are you will Mr. Davis?You found yourself another boss?”

 Chapter 290 Good Fortune Ahead

 Emelle exined without showing weakness, “Mr. Swans was needed elsewhere urgently and appointed me to represent Swanson Corporation to congratte Mrs. Matilda for having beins in her family Mr. Davis and I just happened to take the same route”

 “Then you’re still with Swanson Corporation.” William’s attode was lukewarm at most. He had a ss of red wine in his hand and swirled it lightly, making the liquid in the ss crash like waves in the ss. Hisce was sold

 Tomelie’s heart also thumped like the red wine, as it also being swirled in the cage of his hamil.

 This was the first came they had seen each other since the truth hade out

 How would William deal with the person who had openly tricked him?

 Emelie felt that she wouldn’t be suprised if he were to use the simplest and most brutall way to publicly humiliate her. Likely by sshing her face with wi

 William did indeed extend his hand forward to her while holding the ss, but he didn’t throw it at her. It only tilted slightly in her direction. “Then I wish you good fortune ahrad at Swanson Corporation.”

 Emelie’s eyes slightly glittered with hope

 Was he..congratting her?

 After a moment of silence, Emelle said, “Thank you, Mr. Middleton”

 The two of them clinked their sses despite the thoughts that aged in their minds

 Emelie had only wanted to take a sip, but when she saw that william had downed it all at once, he had no choice but to finish it.

 “oh, honey. Don’t drink too much on an empty stomach. It’s not healthy.”

 Emelie didn’t expect Charles to suddenly say something. She was stunned for a moment and he grabbed her wine ss. There was still a mouthful left in the ss and be finished

 Emelie looked at him as if she had seen a ghost she almost blurted out, “Are you crazy?”

 William also narrowed his eyes.

 Elena was shocked. “My dear cousin, are you and Ms. Howen..

 Charles put the ss on a tray held by a passing walter and said with a smile, “I’m sorry if you find that funny. I’ve been trying to court Ms. Hoventely, so I need to show how

 Court? it was impossible to tell what William was feeling. “Really?”

 Charles then asked as if they both had a mutual understanding of the situation, “You don’t mind, do you?*

 Emelie used to be William’s partner. Now, he wanted to pursue ber, which was why he was being “polite” by asking her ex–partner if he minded it

 William’s was alot as he said, “Eryone has the right to court someone else. As long as Ms. Hoven is consenting, I don’t see why should care”

 He was so understanding that he seemed possessed. Despite being near him for so many years, even Emelle couldn’t understand or see through the trick he was ying.

 Emelie quickly analyzed the situation in her mind. Should she immediately reject Charles and say that she had no interest in Charles? Or should she remain silent and let the sibustion remain ambiguous?

 But both options seemed to be bad

 For the former, she belinced that she didn’t owe William an exnation for her personal life

 As for thetter, if she was being honest, she was still scared that she would piss William odl.

 His words still echoed in her mind, as if he was whispering them in her ears. He had repeated it many times, to beg her to return to his side or remain alone until the end.

 When it came to work, she was ready to die after deceiving him. Since her father was freed from prison and her mother had recovered from her sickness, she didn’t have to worry about anything ehe. She was ready to face whatever consequences he had for her.

 But that didn’t mean she was going to ask for more trouble. She would only make things and faster for herself if she were to mage him further after deching him once.

 Of course, she wasn’t really going to choose either of the options he gave her. She epted that she might remain single forever. If she really did meet someone she liked, she would still have a rtionship with him.

 The issue was that she didn’t ke Charles all that much.

 It was a bad idea to anger someone like William for someone she had no intention of being with

 As the four of them stood there and chatted, many of the guests burned to look at them. Two of the four most influential leaders within the country were standing together. It was enough for them to gossip about, as what they could be talking about was even worth guessing

 Camda hadice to find Bryan But after a walk around the banquet hall, she didn’t see the man.

 Then, she heard two women’s curious chatting. “Who’s the woman next to Mr. Davis?

 “thead she’s from Swanson Corporation, representing thepany to congratte Mrs. Matilda,”

 Cam locked over and sow Emelie.

 “She’s quite poetry. I wonder what her role is at thepany”

 What mole? The boss‘ bedpanion, probably. Cam was so angry that her eyes

 shote

 Didn’t Elle belong to William Why was she at Swanson Corporation? it had to be because william had grown bored of her and we her to Bryan. All those men were alike, then partners changed so frequently.

 She was willing to overlook it if it was someone else, but it was Emelle
