Chapter 1586


    Wilson chuckled, “You think I’m messing with you? I just bought you a bunch of flowers and you’re


    trying to pay me. No need for all this formality


    between us!”


    Emily said bluntly, “If we were still college buddies, sure, I wouldn’t pay. But now, we’re business


    partners. I think it’s important to maintain some basic


    boundaries.”


    “Don’t worry,” Wilson said, “whether it’s flowers, cars or houses, I wouldn’t use these things to gain an


    advantage in our business. Plus, I trust your morals. You wouldn’t be swayed by money, right? So,


    we’re all above board here, nothing to fret about!”


    “I must pay!” Emily insisted, taking out her phone to transfer $100 to him.


    Wilson was taken aback. He nced at his phone andughed. “That’s way too much.”


    “Consider the rest a thank you” Emily said with a clear eyed smile.


    “No, I can’t take your money!” Wilsonughed, “No more transfers. I’ll find a chance to treat you to a


    meal.”


    Emily simply smiled without responding.”


    By the time they reached the 9th Mansion, dusk had fallen. A girl was waiting for them at the entrance.


    Emily hurried over, her eyes sparkling and dimples showing. “Betty!”


    Betty her hair in a bun and dressed in a soft blue dress, looked absolutely elegant.


    “Emily””Betty greeted her with a smile.


    Emily rushed up to hug her, then handed over the flowers, “Sorry, I haven’t caught up with you since I


    got back.”


    Betty smiled gently, “No problem. Didn’t Ie back to see you?”


    Wilson strolled over and asked, “Did everyone else arrive?”


    “Dave and Selina are already here. I just couldn’t wait to see Emily, so I came out to wee you


    guys, Betty held the flowers and turned to Wilson, Emily, thank you for the flowers! Wilson, where’s


    yours?”


    Emily quickly said, “Actually, Mr. Walton bought these. I was just the delivery girl


    “Really? Betty pretended to be angry.


    Wilson nced at Emily. He said nothing and walked into the mansion, “Let’s chat inside.”


    The reunion was filled with overseas students from Oakdale City, all talking about their recent


    happenings. The atmosphere was lively


    A guy in a ck Polo asked, “Is Emily working at Wilson’spany now?”


    Wilsonughed, “Mypany is too small for her. She’s at the James Group now, an assistant to the


    president”


    “The James Group?”


    Several people looked at Emily in awe, eyes filled with envy.


    heard it’s tough to get into the James Group


    Our professor was using Emily’s design as a case study a few days ago. It’s no surprise she got into


    the James Group with her talent!”


    “Emily, how did you end up as an assistant? I thought you’d be a designer”


    Everyone chimed in with questions and praises Emily answered them all with a smile.


    Wilson sat next to Emily, serving her food and pouring her juice He was incredibly attentive.
