Chapter 1267
Emily hung up the phone, feeling irritated. What the hell was the Ferber Family up to by getting involved with
Martin?
Yep, claiming Martin as her boyfriend from the get-go was a blunder, a lie that had brought nothing but a whole
mess of trouble.
Emily brushed back her unruly hair and sighed in frustration
She texted the address to Martin, glanced at the time, and waited for his call.
At half past four, Emily tidied up her stuff and was ready to clock out. Just as she was heading to the elevator, she
heard Waters calling from behind, “Ms Sullivan’
Emily turned around to see Charlie and Waters strolling towards her, looking like they were off on a date.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie’s gaze was still as cold and detached as ever..
“Off work? Where are you headed? Need a ride?” Waters seemed to be in high spirits, unusually friendly
“No, thanks Emily didn’t even want to share an elevator ride with them.
Waters, arm in arm with Charlie, smirked, “Your assistant is quite the character”
Charlie shot a glance at Emily Sullivan, his lips curling into a half-smile, “What’s so interesting about her?”
Waters gave a knowing grin but didn’t spill any beans in front of Emily
The elevator doors slid open, and Waters and Charlie stepped in. Seeing Emily standing outside, they called out
cheerfully, “Come on in, don’t be shy, Mr. James is a good guy”
Emily caught Charlie’s eye, quickly looked down, and entered the elevator.
She moved to the back, keeping a safe distance.
Waters, still holding onto Charlie’s arm, whispered, “A friend of mine just opened a bar and has been bugging me to
drop by How about we go there after dinner tonight?”
Charlie gave a casual smile, “We’ll see after dinner.”
“Got other plans?” Waters asked.
“Nope.”
“Then you’re all mine tonight” Waters playfully shook his arm.
Charlie sneakily glanced at Emily in the back and simled gently “Alright, I’m all yours”
Waters was over the moon, “Why are you being so nice to me today?”
“Being nice to others doesn’t seem to be appreciated, so why bother?” Charlie responded nonchalantly.
“Who are you talking about? Are you using me as a backup because someone else rejected you? I won’t put up
with that, hmph Waters feigned anger
“Who do you think would reject me?” Charlie chuckled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWaters rolled her eyes, “Good point, which woman would dare reject you?”
Emily’s hand, clutching the strap of her handbag, began to shake slightly. Her face grew pale, and she could feel the
air in the lift getting thinner, her breathing getting harder.
Why the hell wasn’t this elevator moving any faster?
Suddenly, her phone rang, startling her. She quickly pulled it out.
“Hello?”
Martin’s voice echoed through the silent elevator, “Emily, I’m downstairs in your office building. Where are you?”
Emily whispered, “I’m on my way down, I’ll be there in a second.”
“No rush, I’ll wait outside.”
“Alright
After hanging up. Waters turned and grinned, “Was that your boyfriend?”
Emily said, “No”
“You sounded so sweet, are you sure he’s not your boyfriend? Mr. James didn’t ban office romances, why are you
acting so scared?” Waters teased.
Emily stayed silent, not bothering to explain any further.
