Chapter 1266
Tracy looked at the lipstick in Waters’ hand, her eyes wide in surprise. “This is a new product, right? I heard the
diamonds on the case are real, super expensive. No wonder Ms. Sullivan likes it.”
Emily replied calmly, “I still have work to do. I’m going to go now.”
With that, she turned and went back to her desk.
Charlie glanced at Emily’s retreating figure, then at the lipstick in Waters’ hand, and asked her calmly. “Did you
need something?”
Waters’ face fell slightly. “If I don’t come to you, would you ever come to me?”
Tracy turned away, giving them some privacy.
Charlie said, “Let’s go to my office.”
Waters’ eyes lit up, and she followed Charlie, a spring in her step.
Tracy watched them go, raising an eyebrow at Emily. “See? Waters is the woman Mr. James really likes?

don’t need to see me as an enemy”
Tracy looked a bit startled, then nodded. “Of course.”
Emily didn’t say anything more, just lowered her head and got back to work
Boss’s office
Waters stood in front of the big desk, leaning forward, one leg cocked, hand supporting her cheek, smiling
flirtatiously at Charlie. “I got a haircut. Do you like 17”
Charlie leaned back in his chair, smiling. Looks good.”
“Can I invite you to dinner tonight?”
“Til treat you” Charlie’s smile was dazzling
Waters’ eyes softened, and she chuckled “Finally noticed my charms. Not going to be cold to me anymore?”
Charlie leaned on the desk, a smile playing on his lips. “Yes, you’re so beautiful. I’ve been blind for too long. It’s time
I woke up.”
Waters thought he was hinting at something, but she was too excited about his sudden change of attitude to care.
Where should we go tonight?”
“Anywhere you want. As long as you’re happy.” Charlie smiled warmly.
Waters laughed, her eyes dancing. Tll find a place. After dinner, we can go to a bar for drinks.”
“Sure” Charlie agreed.
Waters stood up and moved next to Charlie, leaning on the desk, her body close to his, her lips red her eyes
seductive. “Want to kiss me? You can do it
now”
Charlie could smell her perfume up close and instinctively frowned, feeling a bit disgusted. He hid his feelings,
stepped back, and said with a smile, “1 still have some paperwork to do. Wait for me on the couch.”
Waters looked a bit disappointed but still managed to smile charmingly. “Alright, I wait for you”
Charlie picked up some papers, still feeling the perfume that he now found nauseating. He couldn’t help feeling
irritated.

Just before leaving work, Emily received a call from Martin.
Martin’s voice was as gentle and patient as always. “Emily, are you off work yet?”
Tm about to. What’s up?” Emily asked.
“Do I need a reason to call you? I thought we agreed to be friends, Martin joked.
Emily gave a small laugh but didn’t say anything.
“Actually, I do have something to tell you. Terry came to the office to see me today” Martin said.
Emily’s smile froze. “What did he want?”
“Don’t worry. Let’s grab dinner tonight, and I’ll tell you everything. It’s hard to explain over the phone Martin said,
laughing.
Emily said, “If he’s making unreasonable demands, you don’t have to listen to him
“Let’s talk about it when we meet.”
“Alright.”
“I’ll come pick you up at your office. By the time I get there, you should be off work,” Martin said
