Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 69 Who’s In Charge Here

Emelie returned to her desk, where her colleagues gathered around to console her or apologize for believing Cindy’s words too easily.

Emelie reassured them that it was fine.

However, contrary to her typical behavior, Melanie remained alone at her desk.

Looking down, she seemed visibly upset.

She had rushed to debunk the rumors for Emelle.

She even dispatched her butler to retrieve surveillance footage from the hotel–yes, she was one step ahead of the police in obtaining that footage.

But much to her surprise, the footage revealed William with Emelie, the two entering an elevator and heading upstairs to a room.

Melanie couldn’t help but feel like Emelie had betrayed her.

After all, it was Emelie who had brought her into William’s circle, playing the matchmaker between them.

How could Emelie treat her like this?

It felt like stealing a best friend’s boyfriend.

Emelie didn’t notice Melanie’s change in mood.

Seeing Jayden leave, she promptly got up and headed into the CEO’s office.

“Mr. Middleton, I need to take a few days off,” she said.

William raised an eyebrow. “And why’s that?”

Emelie remained composed.

William, of course, saw right through her excuse.

Twirling his pen, he looked at her for a moment before saying, “Going to see a doctor for psychological issues might not be the best solution.

“Actually, I just got invited to a three–day cruise party. Join me, relax, and you’ll probably feel better much
