    Tracy was about to open her mouth when she saw Emily approach her with a stack of files. She


    immediately stopped and asked loudly. “Ms. Waters, what can i get you to drink?”


    Til have atte.” Waters replied with a smile.


    “Right, just give me a sec. Tracy shot Emily a nce before heading off to prepare the coffee

    Waters then turned her attention to Emily, giving her a hearty greeting. “Emily!”


    Emily responded with a nod and a smile, “Ms. Waters”


    “Is the meeting over? Where’s Mr. James?” Waters asked in a friendly tone.


    Emily replied, “A client came in, so Mr. James is meeting with him. Is there something you need, Ms.


    Waters?”


    “I did want to talk to Mr. James, but I can wait until he’s free.” Waters pulled out another bottle of


    perfume from her bag, making her smile even more affable. “This is for you.”


    Emily declined, “Thank you, Ms. Waters, but I don’t need this perfume.”


    “It’s just a small gift for you and Tracy Waters insisted, pushing the perfume into Emily’s hands. “It’s


    normal to give gifts among friends”


    Emily knew that Waters was always very tactful in handling rtionships, always bringing gifts, but she


    still refused. “I don’t usually use perfume. This gift is too expensive. I can’t ept it.”


    “No need to be so formal, Emily!” Waters said it with a gentle smile.


    “I really don’t need this kind of gift!” Emily’s expression was soft, but her refusal was firm.


    Seeing Emily’s serious expression, Waters put away the perfume andughed. “Emily, you’re the one


    who arranges Mr. James’s schedule. Any new love interests for himtely?”


    Emily looked surprised for a moment, then smiled and replied, “I only help Mr. James with his work. As


    for his private life, I really don’t know.”


    “How could you not know? Has he ever asked you to s to other women, arrange hotels, and


    such? You know what I mean.” Waters raised an eyebrow at her. Emily looked slightly embarrassed.


    Tm sorry, Ms. Waters, but I really don’t know”


    “Waters!” Charlie suddenly came over with a somewhat anxious look. “What’s going on?”


    Waters’s expression turned serious, but she smiled and responded, “I was just chatting with your


    assistant, Mr. James. What are you worried about?”


    Charlie’s gaze swept over Emily’s face, and he rxed,ughing “She just attended a majorpany


    meeting. I was worried she might say something stupid to Ms. Waters”


    Waters chuckled, “Really? I actually think Emily is very smart”


    Emily kept a poker face, showing no expression when she looked at Charlie. “Ill leave you two to chat.


    I’ll get back to work”


    Charlie nodded slightly. After Emily left, he went back to his office, with Waters following close behind.


    Once in the CEO’s office, Charlie’s expression returned to normal. “Did you need something?”


    Waters sat down. “Please don’t misunderstand, I didn’te here to bother you. I have some real


    business to discuss. I heard you’re nning an energy station project. Ourpany meets your tender


    conditions, so I was wondering if you could cut us some ck and let us in on this project.”


    “No” Charlie replied bluntly. “If yourpany meets the conditions, thenpete fairly”


    “Charlie, you’re so cold. Considering that I’ve been chasing after you for years, even if we can’t be


    lovers, we’re still friends. Can’t you trust me a little? Waters sald softly


    it’s precisely because we’re friends that we should avoid favoritism, Charlie’s voice was steady and


    slightly distant.


    “Charlie” Waters stared at him, suddenly asking. “Are you pursuing your little assistant now? Have you


    changed your heart?”


    Charlie squinted slightly. “Who I like has nothing to do with you”
