Chapter 681 Follow Me

Charles was momentarily puzzled. He wondered why Emelie would visit him at such an hour.

He turned around and glanced at Emmie, who had shared a room with him last night. He had spent the night on the couch while she took the bed.

After a brief pause, he said to Emmie, "Mia is in the room next door. You should go check on her."

Then, he headed downstairs with his secretary to meet Emelie in the living room.

Meanwhile, Emelie was admiring the painting hanging on his wall. It was "The Last Judgment" by Michelangelo.

"Ms. Pierce, you came by without a word. I just woke up. How inconsiderate." Charles descended the stairs, watching Emelie from behind.

Emelie was dressed in a raspberry-colored long coat with a structured fit. She had a leather belt cinched at her waist, and she wore a pair of ankle boots. Her outfit seemed to have a balanced style and warmth.

Charles recalled Emmie's accusations from the night before. She said that he was treating her as a stand- in for Emelie.

Emelie's sudden "death" years ago had Charles struggling to move on. However, the truth was they never really had a deep relationship. Over the years, his feelings for Emelie had faded. Now, his thoughts were centered around Emmie.

Emelie turned to him with a smile. "I'm heading to the airport and thought I'd drop by to say hello. Mr. Davis, this painting... Is it an original?"
