Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 655 Mr. Davis, Do You Know This Waitress?

Emelie leaned back in her chair and signaled for the waitress to pour her more wine.

Charles stroked his lips and nodded as he studied the document. "Ms. Hoven, as expected of you. Your work is always thorough."

Then, as if it dawned on him, he raised his head and said, "Oh, I forgot you're Ms. Pierce now."

Emelie's expression remained calm.

Behind her, Jodie's face was devoid of emotion. It was clear that Charles' repeated references to her past were meant to test Emelie, to see if she would be thrown off balance.

"It's fine. I did spend many years as a secretary. I worked for Mr. Middleton and Mr. Swanson, and when I first joined the Filo Group, I was also Mr. Cronus' secretary. It's normal to be stereotyped as a secretary."

Emelie took it all in stride with a calm demeanor.

William, with a cold look on his face, threw the document on the table and picked up his glass of wine. He seemed to be the one who had been thrown off balance instead.
