Chapter 1721


    Before Ron could fire her, Emily was ready to m her letter of resignation onto his desk and let him


    know that she was quitting on her own terms.


    She braced herself, raising a hand to knock on the door.


    “Come in!" Ron''s voice echoed from within.


    Emily pushed the door open, and her gaze first fell on Beck, who still had bruises on his face. His eyes


    were a bit gloomy, but he quickly averted them as Emily entered.


    “Emily,e on in!" Ron greeted her with warmth and familiarity.


    Caught off-guard by Ron''s demeanor, Emily took a few steps into the room before noticing the man


    seated on the couch.


    Charlie was casually dressed, wearing a light grey V-neck sweater that entuated his handsome


    features and tefined aura, making him look like a nobleman straight out of an artwork.


    “Emily, have a seat!" Ron poured a ss of water for Emily and introduced Charlie. "This is Mr. James.


    I heard you''ve worked for him before, so you must be familiar with each other. I won''t introduce him


    further. Mr. James has seen the design you did for Mr. Beck and is very impressed. He wants you and


    Designer Chad to work on the blueprint for the skyscraper. What do you think?"


    Sitting on the couch, Emily locked eyes with Charlie. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her grip on


    her resignation letter tightened.

    So, that was why Ron had suddenly changed his attitude—it was all because of Charlie!


    Had hee here early in the morning because he genuinely liked her designs and wanted to


    coborate with her?


    Charlie gazed at her with a soft smile. "What, are you not willing to coborate with the James Group


    anymore after leaving it? Personal feelings aside, work is work. I hope you won''t confuse the two."


    “No, of course, I won''t!" Emily hastily shook her head.


    She could never maintain herposure in front of him!


    “Emily, you should thank Mr. James for this opportunity!” Ron nudged her.


    After a pause, Emily lowered her gaze. “Thank you, Mr. James."


    “You''re wee!" Charlie responded with a polite and refined smile. “Then it''s settled! Work hard on


    the design.


    I''m looking forward to seeing it."


    “I''ll do my best!" Emily said earnestly.


    Charlie nodded slightly and turned to Beck. "Mr. Beck, I heard there was a bit of a conflict between you


    and Emily. Is that true?"


    Beck raised his head, a look of panic shed across his face before he forced a smile. "No, there''s no


    such thing. I''m very satisfied with Ms. Sullivan''s design. We''ll continue to coborate. There was a


    small misunderstanding, for which I apologize to Ms. Sullivan."


    He stood up and said to Emily, "Ms. Sullivan, it was all a misunderstanding. I''m sorry. Please don''t take


    it to heart."


    Ron watched Beck from the corner of his eye, not daring to breathe.


    “If Mr. Beck needs it, I will continue to work on designs for him. But beyond that, there''s no need for


    further interaction!" Emily stated calmly.


    "Absolutely!" Beck nodded vigorously. "I won''t disturb you outside of work matters!"


    Charlie turned to Ron, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "I hope that during Ms. Sullivan''s coboration


    with the James family, yourpany can ensure she isn''t disturbed and can work happily. If these


    issues interfere with her progress, I''ll have to take it up with ke directly next time!"


    Ron immediately reassured him, "I understand. Please be assured, Mr. James. We will create a


    Charlie nodded and stood up. "With that, I''m done here"


    Ron motioned to Emily. “Emily, please see Mr. James out!"


    Charlie nced at Emily before striding towards the door.


    Following him from behind, Emily remained silent until they reached the elevator. As they stood there


    waiting, Emily felt she needed to break the silence.
