Chapter 187 It Stings
Jayden thought about Patricia’s face and didn’t think much of it at first. But after he mentioned it, her face started to remind him of someone
As the elevator doors opened, pryden looked up and saw they were on the ground floor
“why are we on the ground Boot?” he asked. They needed to go back to the 19th and 20th floors
William stepped out of the elevator. “I’m going to the front desk to get something”
Thinking William would return shortly since he was just fetching something, Jayden held the door open and waited. Soon, he returned with a small medicine box in hand.
“Are you injured?” Then he saw William press the 17th–door button and chuckled, “ts Ms. Hoven hurt? Are you going to help bandage her up?”
William sumply glanced at him and said nothing
Jeyden’s words stung “With Samuel around, Ms. Hoven might not need you.”
“So, chase him away.” William sid.
It felt like helping a friend, but they were crossing boundaries with someone else’s girlfriend
On the 17th floor, Jayden kindly advised William, “If you’re really going after someone, you should work on your attitude.!!
Wiam replied, “I’m not into that. Not everyone wants to be tied down by one woman for a decade like you.” I
Jayden felt a mix of frustration and amusement at William’s response.
Reflecting further, he couldn’t recall ever seeing William deeply in love with someone. He brieflyconsidered Daphne but concluded it wasn’t quite the same.
William’s demeanor toward Daphne always appeared somewhat reserved compared to the passion he once showed for Emelte, at least in Jayden’s view.
After watching Emehe finish her chicken noodle soup, Samuel said, “If you want to continue holding Patricia–accountable, I’ll take full responsibility.”
“She’s with Swanson Corporation, Bryan’s business development manager. Emelle expressed concern that escalating things might not end well in the long run.
Samuel passed her a tissue. “These aren’t our concern,” he said. “We need to deal with what’s at hand. If she’s harmed you, she needs to face the consequences.”
After thinking for a while, Emelie shook her head. “Forget it,” she said. “She apologized and even slapped herself. Once she transters the compensation to me, we can move on
from this.”
Samuel’s expression softened slightly. “Only Mr. Middleton went to look for you?”
“Did Marcel and the others not find Emelie Samuel wondered.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Emelie moved to answer it, but Samuel stood up first “I’ll get it,” he offered
Pryden stood outside as the door opened.
“Do you need Emelie for something?
“No, I just remembered I need to talk to you about something.” Jayden coughed softly.
“Why don’t we talk about it tomorrow?!
“Tomorrow..sounds good,” Jayden said. He wasn’t accustomed to these tasks and nearly jeopardized their plan.
“Mr. Swanson, I’m okay now and could use some rest,” Emelle chimed in.
*Rest up, see you tomorrow.” Samuel agreed with a nod. Then, he turned to Jayden and said, “Mr.Gleamfield, let’s chat in my room!
Emelie was about to take a shower when the doorbell rang again.
Thinking it was Samuel, she opened the door. Instead, she found William standing there
And he was alone.
“Yes?” Emelie asked.
Willam ceplied, “I left my phone here.”
Emelie glanced at the sofa and spotted William’s phone on the small table next to it. She sighed, “I’ll go get it.”
William entered right behind her.
After the previous incident, Emelie was very cautious. “Mr. Middleton, it’s late at night. It’s not appropriate for a man a woman to be alone in a room together, I?” “You know it’s inappropriate too, so why didn’t you ask Samuel to leave earlier? Willam ignored her protest and sat down on the sofa, opening the medicine box.
“Come here,” he said
Emelie held her breath, standing finaly at the doorway, not moving an inch
William glanerd at her. “Are you that afraid of me?“”
Frede reluctantly approached, considering his help earlier in the evening. “What do you want, Mr. Middleton
