Winning Her Heart Back

You Just Won’t Rely on Anyone

Emelie remained composed. “As a secretary, being well–prepared isn’t wrong.”

“Do you want something to happen between me and her?” William asked.

“Whatever you want to do is none of my concern.”

William stared at her face for a few seconds before suddenly walking toward her.

Emelie didn’t know what he was going to do, but she instinctively backed away.

Luckily, at that moment, Melanie came out after changing her clothes. “Will, I’m ready.”

Emelie immediately said, “I’ll take Ms. Swanson home first.”

Melanie shook her head. “No, Emelie. I’m fine now. I can continue working.”

“No need to force yourself.”

“We experienced this together, but you didn’t cry. I can’t be weak anymore. I want to be like you and be

brave.”

Melanie was extremely serious.

William didn’t look at either of them and walked out. “Let’s go back to the office.”

Back at the office, Emelie wanted to go to the secretarial department but was stopped by William, who

grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her into his office.

“Come with me.”

Emelie couldn’t help but frown. This kind of physical contact between a superior and a subordinate was obviously inappropriate.

She immediately pulled her hand back.

“What do you need me to do, Mr. Middleton? Just say it.”

William’s tone was cold. “About the incident at the mall-”

Emelie reported, “I’ve already talked to the mall management. There’s a back door at the mall, and goods are usually brought in and out through there.

“The security isn’t very strict, so the exhibitionist probably entered through there.

“Of course, the mall management also admitted that there were flaws in their management.

“The incident has tarnished the mall’s image, so they proposed to strengthen security, install more surveillance cameras, and increase patrols to ensure

Emilie continued, “I told them that the victim was the daughter of Weston’s Swanson family, and they expressed a desire to apologize to Ms. Swanson in and offered gifts as compensation.

“If Ms. Swanson is still unhappy with that and has any requests, they will try to fulfill them.”

William wasn’t asking about that. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

When Melanie was crying in his arms, Emelle had already taken care of everything. That was what a head secretary would do.

“Aren’t you afraid?” he suddenly asked.

Emelie remained unfazed. “It happened in broad daylight and In front of so many people, so I’m not afraid.

William leaned against the desk with his legs crossed. His gaze was deep as he looked at her. “Not afraid? Weren’t you running toward me?”

“At that time, you were the only acquaintance in my line of sight, and you were also running toward us. I didn’t think much and ran toward you.”

Emelie didn’t show any emotions. “I had to safely escort Ms. Swanson to you.”

William seemed to see her eyes reddening for a moment, but it only lasted for a second.

By the time he wanted to take a closer look, she had already returned to her calm demeanor.

He even doubted if he had seen it wrong.

He vaguely felt that Emelie didn’t seem as close to him as before.

Although she had never been clingy, now it seemed like she was even more distant.

He loosened his tie. “You just won’t rely on anyone.” His tone was not very friendly.

“Sorry for disappointing you, Mr. Middleton. That’s just my personality, and it won’t change.”

William’s expression became stern. “Get out.”

When William grabbed Emelie’s hand, Cindy saw it.

Melanie, still feeling scared, said, “Will will surely teach the negligent mall management and that exhibitionist a lesson!”

After some thought, Cindy deliberately asked Melanie, “Do you like Mr. Middleton?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Melanie coyly said while blushing.

Cindy smiled. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? There are many people in the company who like Mr. Middleton.*

Melanie looked at Cindy, “You, too?”

“I like him, but I know that he likes Ms. Hoven the most.”

“Will likes… Emelie?” Melanie frowned. “Really?”

Cindy hugged her shoulders. “You can ask around. Everyone knows that Ms. Hoven is not just Mr.

Middleton’s secretory.”

“They’re all talking nonsense. Emelle knows that I like Will, so she let me stay by his side. She’s trying to match us up. She’s a good person.” Melanie did

“You’re too naive.” Cindy whispered, “Listen. If you want Mr. Middleton to like you, the first thing you should do is get rid of Emelie.”
