Chapter 1722
Emily said, “Thank you, Mr. James!”
If she still thought that Charlie’s appearance here was a coincidence, then she was blatantly playing dumb!
Charlie had a handsome face. He said with a smirk, “You’ve already said that before.”
Emily lowered her eyes, whispering, “Actually, I was planning to quit today.”
Charlie looked at Emily’s pure face, speaking gently, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just think it’s a shame for you to
quit like this. Beck, that jerk, just needs a lesson. It’s not worth giving up a job you love for his sake.”
Emily felt a slight stir in her heart, slowly nodding her head. “Regardless, I really appreciate it.”
“If you want to thank me, just get your design finished. I’m looking forward to seeing it,” Charlie said with a light
smile.
“I’ll definitely work hard!”

Emily looked up at him in surprise.
Just as the elevator arrived, Charlie stepped in, “You don’t have to see me off.”
“Mr. James!” Emily suddenly remembered something and stepped forward, “Last night.”
Charlie paused, his heartbeat seemed to speed up in an instant.
Emily continued, “Last night, did you pay the bill? How much was it? I’ll transfer it to you!”
The worry that Charlie had lifted, fell back down without a trace of emotion. He reached out to press the elevator
button, speaking lightly, “You don’t need to pay me back.”
As the elevator slowly closed, Charlie glanced at Emily outside, a tender look flashing in his eyes.
Emily returned to her desk, thought for a moment, and still transferred a hundred dollars to Charlie. She couldn’t
Tepay some favors, but she would definitely try to repay the ones she could.
In the next few minutes, she constantly checked her phone. Charlie didn’t accept the money, nor did he respond to
her.
Emily couldn’t help but keep wanting to check, so she threw her phone aside and focused on her work.
During lunch break, she received a call from Wilson.
“Emily, I heard you were bullied at the firm. Are you okay?” Wilson asked with concern.
Emily smiled, “I’m fine. The offender has already apologized.”
Wilson chuckled, “Why don’t you come work for me? I’ve just bought a piece of land and plan to build a luxury
residential area. You can help me plan and design it. Don’t worry, if you agree to help me, I’ll definitely double your
compensation and benefits on top of what you have now.”
Without hesitation, Emily replied, “I’m sorry, Wilson. I’m doing pretty well here and I still have some projects to
finish. I don’t plan on leaving just yet.”
Wilson continued to persuade her, “Emily, firms like this have complex internal relationships. You’ll often have to
deal with clients’ temperaments. If you come work for me, I guarantee you’ll be able to focus on your designs

“Thank you, Wilson, but I really don’t need it!” Emily said.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m not doing it for you!” Wilson laughed, “Your previous performance at university
speaks for itself, and I’m sincerely looking for someone of your talents. I hope you can help me.”
Just as Emily was about to reject him again, Wilson continued, “Don’t refuse just yet, think about it. I can wait until
you finish your current projects. I’m not in a hurry.”
Emily joked, “I think you’d better not get your hopes up.”
Wilson said, “Who knows what the future holds? What if you change your mind?”
Emily glanced at the time, “I have to get back to work!”
“lL won’t bother you then! Oh, by the way, Wilson smiled warmly, “Betty’s coffee shop is about to open. Let’s go
and show her some support.”
“That sounds great!”
“You get back to work. Whenever you make up your mind, give me a call!”
