Chapter 343 Don’t Fall For It
Emelie sheepishly said, “Mr. Middleton, I need to catch the subway. I’m leaving.”
pher. But the honking behind her grew incessant just after several meters forward as if pulling her back with invisible ropes.
As she walked away, William didn’t stop h Emelle’s pace slowed until she finally stopped, she turned back to look, feeling indescribably frustrated.
William was still standing by the side of the road under a streetlamp. The light cast on him from over his head
Emelle figured that the car owners hadn’t started cursing because they recognized the distinctive license plate and William’s imposing air that was far from
ordinary.
Gritting her teeth, she returned to the car, opened the door, and got in.
A smile tugged at William’s lips. He followed suit by getting back in the car, which finally started moving
Abel asked, “Mr. Middleton, where to?”
William replied indifferently, “Askher.”
Emelie couldn’t send Abel the location, so she opened the navigation app on her phone and handed in to Abel. Abel placed it on the phone holder for a better view of directions
“Where’s Ms. Jones?” Emele casually asked,
“she went to escort your troublemaker out of Capebatt City. My apology has to be sincere,” William replied with his legs crossed and one hand supporting his forehead. His tone was playful yet nonchalant.
Ashton found Elena in a bar, drunk
She glanced at the table, noting several empty bottles.
Ms Allen”
Elena replied with a hum before looking at her with blumed eyes, “oh, It’s you, Ms. Jones. Why are you here? Did William send you here for me? Ashton responded in a flat tone, “Mr. Middleton sent me here. Your work in Weston is complete. I’m sending you back to Capehatt City tonight.” “Leave Weston?” Elena swayed as she got up to berfeet. “I won’t leave! Why should I make way for Emelie! I won’t!”
Ashton calmly stated, “Ms. Allen, you know Mr. Middleton’s temper. He doesn’t like to be defied.”
Elena fell back onto the couch. “Must leave tonight?”
“That & right.”
“But do you know what day tomorrow is?
Ashton shook her head. Elena lay on the couch. “Tomorow’s my birthday.”
Ashton paused. “Happy birthday in advance.”
Elena looked up biting her lips and asked plaintively, “Can I stay until after my birthday? Charles might not have said anything, but I know he’s prepared a surprise
for me.
“1used to stay abroad, and it’s been years since I’ve celebrated my birthday with my family. Can’t I stay a few more days?”
Ashton hesitated before calling William for instructions.
William replied, “As she wishes.”
Ashton hung up the phone and returned to the bar, only to find her seat empty.
Stunned, she immediately asked the waiter, “Where’s the woman who was here?”
“So you guys had stew together?”
Monacalled Emelie to complain about Elena, but she was shocked to hear that Emelle had taken William to a specialty stew restaurant in Weston. She was flabbergasted
Emelie had just had her bath and was halfway through her skincare routine. She put her phone on speaker and responded with a simple yes.
Mona’s mind buzzed. She scratched her head. “So what’s going on between the two of you then?”
“Nothing’s going on between us,” Emelle replied without the slightest hesitation.
Emelar explained after a pause, “I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I should go soft on him for fear that I might provoke him. He won’t stay in Weston
idge forever, and be should be leaving soon. Things will get better once he’s gone.”
Mana clicked her tongue, unsure what to say. She reminded Emelle before hanging up, “Don’t fall for it agails. Don’t forget about what he did to you!”
Kamelie paused, then spread the remaining skincare product on the back of her hands
Emelie arrived at work the next morning, only to learn that Elena had gotten drunk at the bar last night and had gotten herself in an accident.
