Winning Her Heart Back

Climbing the Ranks.

The HR representative’s words weren’t a threat but facts

Previously, there had been news about how a project manager had contacted another company near the end of his employment with his current compan

The manager faced a lawsuit for dereliction of duty, which had led to significant financial harm to the company. The company had done this on purpose to screw over t

years

Even though the manager was deemed not guilty of his charges, all his efforts were wasted, and

ultimately, his reputation was ruined for good.

Emelie responded, “I know what I need to do.”

She parted ways with the representative after dinner. When she went to the washroom, she happened to overhear the conversation between two servers

“Did you see the woman who was beside Mr. Middleton? She seemed quite cunning

“Yeah, I did, I think she’s Mr. Middleton’s secretary. She keeps on topping his glass up as if she can’t wait

to get him drunk.

The other server said, “Of course, she can’t wait. How else could she sleep with him? Women nowadays

are something..

“Shh! Come on, we still need to get the wines out.”

Emelie left the cubicle after the servers were gone. She washed her hands before drying them.

Considering what the HR representative had mentioned earlier, along with the information revealed by the

servers, she decided to head to William’s private room.

The door had been left open. Emelie pretended to walk by and peered in. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The secretary was sitting beside William, the latter who was somewhat drunk now. His eyes were hazy, and a faint smile surfaced on his lips when he spoke to the clients.

The moment he set down his wine glass, his secretary filled it to the brim for him again. William immediately picked it up and drank some more.

William never usually drank so much when he was working. He was probably doing so because he was in a bad mood today. He drank shot after shot of alcohol every single time the clients t

When the clients took out their agreement for William to sign, they handed him a pen, which the secretary helped tighten his grip around.

Emelie was taken aback,

Were they scheming against William all at once?

Luckily, William set the pen down in the next second. He said flatly, “I’ve already made my terms clear, Mr. Ramsey. Why don’t you take more time to con

Emelie heaved a sigh and left the hallway.

She went outside the restaurant and strolled around by the road. William’s clients soon exited and left in

their respective cars.

Meanwhile, William and his secretary exited last, the latter holding the former up.

Though William’s footsteps were still sturdy, his eyes were slightly bloodshot. He still looked fine whenever he drank. But if his cheeks were flushed, cha

The secretary helped William get into his car before joining him.

Supposedly, Emelie should’ve left by now. But she felt uneasy when she recalled how the secretary had actively assisted the client in making William sign the contract.

If William discovered that Emelie was standing outside their room earlier without stepping in to save him

from being schemed against, would he take legal action against her?

Emelie stiffened.

She suddenly realized she didn’t trust William that much.

Emelie had witnessed how William tackled his enemies in the past three years of working for him. She subconsciously knew that if she pissed William of

William hadn’t the least bit of feelings for Emelie even though they’d been together for three years. On the

other hand, Emilie hadn’t fallen irrevocably in love with him yet. She was still cautious of William.

Emelie took a deep breath, feeling uneasy.

In the end, she still got into a taxi and said to the driver, “Follow the car ahead, sir.”

The driver asked knowingly, “What happened? Is your husband cheating on you?”

Emelie was taken aback. “No.”

“Your boyfriend, then.”

“No…”

The driver grew cautious. Then why are you following them? Are you a stalker?”

Emelie paused before saying truthfully, “My boss is inside that car.

The driver then started the car and said, “He sure looks like he owns a company. Young women like you could never hope to win over someone like them

Emelie said in exasperation, “Please just watch the road, sir.”

“Oh, I’ve driven on this road a thousand times. There’s a hotel just after the turn in front. Your boss is likely
