Chapter 300 A Romantic Pursuit
As expected, it was him calling and her own phone rang
“Hello, is this Ms. Emelle Hoven? There’s a bouquet that needs your signature.”
who ordered the flowers?” Emelie asked, but she already knew the answer. It had to be Charles. He was probably going to say that she asked for it
The delivery boy looked at the card and said, “No firstname. Signed by a Middleton.”
Emelie was confused in her silence.
Emelie didn’t know what William ment by that.
the property was compensation, then what was with the flowers?
She looked at the card. The word “Middleton” was printed on it, but she could imagine that the man had somehow written his own name in mechanically printed words by hand.
She had been his secretary in the past and had seen how he signed his own signature on various agreements countless times. His handwriting was very beautiful. It flowed like a cher, yet there was strength in it
When she was still in love with him, the worshiped everything that he did. When there was nothing for her to do, she would imitate his handwriting and practice it on a piece of paper repeatedly.
Wiliam Middleton
William Middleton..
She would write his name in neat and very seclous rows.
There was a time that he saw it. He had looked at her with interest with a raised eyebrow. She was so embarrassed that she covered it with another document. She lowered her head and didn’t dare meet his cold and provocative eyes as her ears bened red
She looked at the card in silence.
The Emelie in the present was supposed to have
feelings or at least be ambivalent toward this. Why would she feel pain pricking on her skin when she remembered it?
She put the card back into the bouquet and walked over to the entrance of the company with it in hand. Then, she opened the bin and tossed it without any emotion on her face.
Thanks to Charles, she was getting better and better at dumping flowers.
After she was done, Emelle heard someone clapping. She was momentarily stunned before she tumed around.
Charles tried to hide his smile as he walked over. “I finally get to see the look on your face every time you throw my flowers away.”
Emelie wasn’t sure what to say,
However, she immediately returned to her professional self and politely asked, “What brings you bere, Mr. Davis?
“Didn’t I tell you I was worried that something bad might happen to you? I’m here to visit and check on you” Charles raised his eyebrow and glanced at the bin. “So, the unidentified thing that you received is a bouquet?
Emelle didn’t say no and instead used this chance to get him to leave “You saw everything, didn’t you? I’m completely fine. Please, don’t let me stop you from your work.”
“I’m done with my work My only task left is to court my girlfriend” charles sald with a smile.
Emelie acted as if she didn’t know that she was the one he was talking about and said, “Don’t let me get in your way then I still have work, so I’ll be going back up now.”
Charles didn’t mind. “I’ll wait until you’re finished
Emelie hastily walked back into the company, not daring to hesitate for even a second.
Charles retracted his attention and noticed a card by the bin from the corner of his eyes. It probably fell out of the bouquet when she was throwing it away
He bent over to pick it up but paused for a moment as he couldn’t stand the grime around the bin. However, the back of the card was facing upward and he couldn’t see what was wrimen on the other side. So, he had no choice but to pull out his silk handkerchief from his packet to pick it up.
It was signed by Middleton
charles knew who bought the flowers
He took out his mobile and snapped a picture of the bouquet in the bin. Then, be added, “My girlfriend only accepts my bouquets, Mr. Middleton. Please don’t cross the line next
William didn’t respond
Charles then put his mobile back. His eyes were full of glee and affection, but there was something else inside if one were to look carefully.
William locked his mobile and tossed it on his desk. The mobile knocked into the glass pen holder and made a loud noise.
Ashton, who was making her reports in front of him, was taken by surprise. She thought that she had said something wrong “Mr. Middleton?
“Continue,” William said icily.
Ashton didn’t hesitate and quickly continued. Once she had finished and received Willian’s permission, she left the CFO’s office and finally let out a sigh of relief.
After Emel left the company, William had neither hired nor promoted others to become his head secretary. Ashton and Fabian had to deal with the daily tasks.
However, the more she interacted with William, the more terrified she became. There was no such thing as practice makes perfect with William. He never showed if he was impressed. It made it hard for her to know what would win his approval
For example, he had all but thrown his phone exlier, but his expression remained as calm as it usually did. She wasn’t even sure if he was angry
She wondered how Emelie managed to survive so long under the high pressure of working with Will, let alone manage to maintain an outstanding level of performance… Willam didn’t care what his subordinates thought of him.
ite picked up his phone again and tapped open the best message to see the picture Charles sent him Girlfriend?
Hesindederuelly. Right then, he wasn’t sure if he should direct his ire at mele or Charles
