Chapter 7 Untouched
The conference room door was locked for nearly an hour.
Afterward, Emelie took several alcohol wipes and thoroughly cleaned the conference table.
With the room back in order, she glanced over to William, who had already reverted to his usual dignified
and authoritative demeanor.
A closer look revealed a minor crease on his shirt, indicating he was the first to lose restraint just now
Emelie picked up William’s tie and walked over to help him put it on.
William was accustomed to her attentiveness, slightly lifting his chin to expose his prominent Adam’s
apple while Emelie’s fingers skillfully tied the knot.
She softly said, “I want to go back to headquarters.”
William’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
He observed her submissive demeanor and calmly stated, “As I’ve mentioned before, there was no necessity to return to headquarters before completing the project. Now that it’s finished, you’re free to go
back if you wish.”
Thus, when William concluded his project inspection and headed back to Capebatt City, Emelie returned
with them.
Daphne tilted her head, inquiring, “Mr. Middleton, can Ms. Hoven come back with us?”
William nodded while reading some documents.
Daphne immediately beamed with joy. “That’s great! Ms. Hoven, I’ve missed you around here these past
two months.”
Emelie observed Daphne, Her makeup was done in vibrant shades of orange and eyeliner that stopped
short of extending beyond her eyes, exuding a youthful and charming appearance.
“You’ve put a lot of thought into your makeup,” Emelie complimented.
Each stroke seemed to accentuate the innocence that men find most appealing, akin to the pure and
spirited essence of a young girl.
Daphne blinked, offering a slight smile.
When they reached Capebatt City, it was already night time. A driver was already waiting for them.
“Take Daphne home first,” William instructed.
The driver, well–versed in unspoken commands, immediately knew the destination.
After being two months away, Emelie was deep in thought as she reacquainted herself with the city.
When they stopped, Emelie realized they were not at Daphne’s previous modest neighborhood but at a
Choper? Untouched
luxurious complex near the city center, close to their office.

As Daphne exited, she waved. “Thank you both for the ride, Mr. Middleton, and Ms. Hoven! Have a restful night, and I’ll see you both see you at the office tomorrow.”
William simply nodded, watching her enter the complex.
As the car engine started again, Emelle asked, “Did you buy her a place here?”
William’s focus returned to his documents.
Busy as ever, he offhandedly mentioned, “It’s another apartment of mine. Her old neighborhood safe, and I didn’t want her to feel burdened, so I told her it was rented. Make sure you don’t slip up.”

“The naive girl even pays me a thousand dollars for rent every month.” He chuckled to himself, finding it amusing to him.
Emelie pointed out, “With Capebatt City’s rates, you couldn’t rent a place in this area for less than 5000 dollars a month. Anyone with common sense would realize the rent is not just 1000 dollars.”
William looked up. “So?”
This implied Daphne was portraying a character of self–reliance and independence, playing a long game. with a subtle strategy.
But he chose to believe Daphne was “naive“. What could she say?
Emelie’s lips twitched slightly, “Nothing, Mr.Middleton is truly considerate and thoughtful.”
Upon their return to Eastbay, Emelle barely bad time to shower before being overwhelmed by William’s
advances on the bed.
He had been far from satisfied in the conference room. And tonight he was determined not to let Emelie rest easily
His intense desire made Emelle question whether he had been abstinent these past two months.
“Have you… never touched her? I thought you were quite interested in her,” Emelie said.
William replied, “She doesn’t understand any of it.”
“You believe a person in their twenties today doesn’t understand such things?” she asked.
Even if someone hadn’t directly experienced it, they were certainly aware of it.
