Chapter 261 Emelle is quite Interesting
Emile suddenly remembered the incident on the Graham sip. William had brought her to the second–floor room, and Charles had sat at the poker table. He instructed her to
fetch him a cigarette
Back then, if she had complied with his request, it would have been demeaning to her. So, she had chosen not to follow his request
However, she newer anticipated that charles would suddenly bring up this matter here.
As Emelie realized the situation, she not only felt the same sense of being belittled as before but also a hint of being toyed with unknowingly. She felt a tinge of anger rising within
bec.
However, it was just about lighting a cigarette. It wasn’t like she had any reason to explode.
William glanced at her expressionlessly before continuing his conversation with Charles, but his tone had become noticeably colder.
Emelie remained silent as she ate her food. Her phone vibrated as she received a WhatsApp message from Bryan, asking her for some data.
Erbe replied brieflybefore putting her phone down and continuing her meal.
Bryan took the opportunity and asked, “How is your mother? Are you in the hospital now? Should I come over to see Mrs. Hoven?”
Emelie chewed on a piece of vegetable slowly, her eyes flickering with something indiscernible.
Then, she sent him a message. After putting down her phone she continued eating.
Charles observed her silent indignation and suppressed laughter. “Just a secretary,” he thought.
He then turned to William and said, “I heard that you’ve recently started a big project in Wimstour City.”
“Mr. Davis, you’re really well–informed,” William replied flatly
“I got wind of it through a rumor. They said that you’d encountered some troublemakers there, and I thought that maybe I could help if you couldn’t handle it.”
Charles continued as he exhaled the cigarette smoke, “After all, we’re in real estate. Dealing with troublemakers is our specialty.”
William glanced at him, and his tone was cool as he said, “It’s just a minor issue. There’s no need to trouble yourself, Mr. Davis. But I appreciate the offer.”
Charles had a strong craving for cigarettes. He smoked three during the meal. Fortunately, his cigarettes were of higher quality, so the room wasn’t filled with a heavy nicotine scent. Otherwise, it would have been suffocating
As the meal was ending, there was a commotion outside the private room.
The manager said, “This room can’t be inspected. What complaint did you receive? Isn’t it inappropriate to inspect us like this? Who’s your superior?
“You don’t need to know who our superior is. Didn t you receive the notice at the beginning of the month? Indoor smolding is prohibited in public places. Have you implemented that role? Step aside!”
Without giving the four people in the room a chance to react, the door was directly opened. Several lave enforcement officers appeared, and they immediately noticed the cigarette in Charles‘ hand
The law enforcement officers caught hun red–handed and said sterly, “According to Article 19 of the Capebatt City Public Place Smoking Contral Regulations, individuals smoking in smoke–free areas and refusing to comply with the advice will be lined two hundred dollars, Give me your ID!”
charles was speechless.
Charles, who had just been humilated in front of his cousin and business partner, pressed his tongue against his cheek for a while. He felt that something was amiss and suddenly looked at Emelie
“Ms. Haven, did you report this? Why else would they come straight to our room?”
Emelle remained calm. “Mr. Davis, I’ve been in the room the whole time. I haven’t even gone to the restroom. How could I have made a phone call to report this?”
William’s cold expression relaxed slightly at this. He put his arm on the back of Emelie schair and sneered.
“Mr. Davis, don’t be upset. Two hundred dollars is like taking a lesson that teaches you to be a law–abiding citizen in the fature. It’s worth it”
Charles stared at Emelle, who remained completely unfazed. Suddenly, he chuckled and tossed the entire pack of cigarettes into the trash can.
“It was absolutely worth it. From now on, I’m quitting smoking.”
Emelie didn’t even glance at him. The meal ended, and William led Emelle out
Charles leaned back in his chair, pondering. He had only meant to tease Emelie, but she had managed to retaliate. He had once said that she resembled a cat, and he wasn’t wrong Freille was interesting
Charles liited his gate to Elena “Elena, do you know William?”
it seemed like she had glanced at William at least five times during the meal. Each time, she looked like she wanted to say something.
