Chapter 186 Look Alike
As everyone burned to look outside, Patricia entered the room.
She walked up to Emelle and said sincerely, “Ms. Howen, I’m sorry for the prank earlier. Mr. Middleton talked to me about it, and I’m relieved you’re okay.”
Emelie echoed, “I’m okay?”
But the truth was she wasn’t. Who knew what might have happened to her if William hadn’t shown up?
Emelie didn’t talk about it, but Patricia shouldn’t just call it a prank
Suddenly, Patricia raised her hand and slapped herself.
Everyone was surprised, even Emelie, who hadn’t anticipated Patricia’s action. She glanced at William, whose expression stayed calm.
The force of Patricia’s slap left a noticeable red mark on her face. She repeated, “I’m really sorry, Ms. Hoven. I didn’t think it through, What can I do for you to forgive me?”
“I accept your apology, but I’m not ready to forgive you,” Emelie said. “I’ve consulted my lawyer, and what you did put me in danger intentionally, I can take legal action against
you.”
Since everyone else there wasn’t involved with the incident, they stayed quiet. They lett Emelie and Patricia to sort things out on their own.
Patricianodded. “I admit my mistake, but I believe we can settle this privately. If you need compensation, just name a figure.
“We’re both busy, so why waste time and energy on something that can be settled quickly? Simplify matters, shall we?”
Emelle obliged her, saying so thousand dollars, but you must specify that it’s a settlement fee.”
Patricia agreed without hesitation. “okay”
“I will inform Swanson Corporation about this matter. We can’t work together anymore. Finally, please leave my room,” Emelie stated firmly
Patricia pursed her lips and walked out, silently mouthing an apology to William as she left. Hecouldn’t threaten to send her back to her parents anymore.
After Patricia left, Alexis brought in some hot chicken noodle soup.
Along with the food, Alexis also set down a humidifier “use this one myself, with calming essential oils. Emelie, after what happened tonight, it Il help you relax.”
Emelie was thankful Thanks, Alexis.”
“Ms. Hoven, enjoy your meal while it’s hot. We’re leaving now. Take your time to rest. There’s no rush with work. You’ve done a great job these past few days, so it’s okay break tomorrow,Jayden said as he stood up.
Emelle nodded and said, “Thank you, Mr. Gleamiek”
Jayden and William were leaving, but Samuel had no intention of leaving.
Before leaving, William glanced briefly at Samuel and said, “She’s had a scare. Let her rest”
to take a
Samuel kept his gaze straight ahead. “No need to worry, Mr. Middleton. Perhaps it’s best to focus on managing your own woman when you have the time,” he replied calmly.
In his eyes, Patricia hurt Emelie because of Wilam
William scoffed. “Go tell that to Brian.”
Samuel frowned and named as William left
Emelle reassured him, saying, “I’m fine, Mr. Swanson. You came all the way from Capebart City and spent the whole night looking for me. Please go to your room and rest.
“I’m not tired, Samuel said, walling up to her and opening the takeout box.
The chicken noodle soup was best served immediately after cooking. If left for a while, they become mushy and unappetizing.
Samuel frowned. Unfortunately, there was no kitchen or ingredients available. Otherwise, he would have cooked another meal for Emelie
“Give it a try. If you don’t like, I’ll order something else for you”
Emelie wasn’t very hungry, possibly due to the late hour and long wait. However, she made an effort to finish it, not wanting to waste food.
Jayden and Wim entered the elevator together. Jayden turned to William. “What’s your relationship with Ms. May?”
“What do you mean?”
Jayden smirked. “The fact that you called room service three times in one night has already spread throughout the hotel Lyle even called me to ask if it’s true and if you’re involved
with Ms. HovEIL”
William had no interest in discussing personal matters and frowned. “Do you guys not have better things to do?”
“If I hadn’t seen Ms. May exchanging glances with you just now, I wouldn’t have asked,” Jayden said. He wasn’t usually nosy, but since he’d already asked, he wanted an answer.
Alter Ms. Haven left you, you’ve been with one woman after another. What’s going on?”
Daphine, Cindy, Melanie, Patrick
With his hands in his pockets, Wilham didn’t offer an explanation. Instead, he asked, “Don’t you think Patricia looks like someone?”
