Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 98 Setback

Emelie was confused.

Bryan seemed very interested in her joining the company at the beginning of their negotiation. Even last night, he reminded her not to forget the conditions they discussed.

Why did he politely decline her today?

What Emelie didn’t know was that her troubles were just beginning.

Emelie dragged her suitcase and took a taxi back to her apartment.

As soon as she unlocked the door, she heard a bang, which startled her.

The next moment, colorful confetti rained down, and Mona cheered, “Congratulations, Emelie. You’ve finally escaped your suffering!”

Emelie chuckled. “You’re exaggerating. Why did you even buy confetti poppers? I thought something exploded.”

Mona grinned. “I calculated it. Tomorrow is Saturday, and your contract expires today. Shouldn’t I celebrate properly for you?”

She took Emelie’s suitcase and asked, “So, have you settled everything with William? Are you going your separate ways now?”

“We’ve settled it.” Emelie didn’t mention what happened on the ship.

“There were parting gifts when we disembarked–towels, bathrobes, and slippers from the ship’s hotel.

“They were good quality, so I asked for an extra set for you.”

Mona beamed. “You’re truly the best friend! Go rest for a bit. I’ll cook dinner tonight.”

She planned to start by making chicken soup.

It was almost time to prepare the ingredients, so she went to the kitchen.

Emelie tidied up the contents of her suitcase.
