Emma refused to acknowledge their relationship, but Bruce did not care. He was the head of the Woland Group anyway, and women were lining up for him. Had it not been for Emma’s gentle words and his plan to get his hands on the Woland Group, he would have dumped her early on.

Who does she think she is?

“Emma, does that mean you’re into Mr. Oswald? You went traveling with him two days ago. I bet you like him.” Before Emma could leave, she heard Alice dropping another bombshell. Alice raised her voice more, and her words rang aloud in the exceptionally quiet hall. The guests must have heard her.
