Chapter 687 Never Truly Been In Love

When Emelie worked as William's secretary for three years, she had the strongest desire to share things with him.

In her first six months on the job, Emelie would tell William everything that happened to her. Quirky clients she had met, interesting gossip she had heard, and even funny videos she found online. She often shared them with him during lunch or when they were alone.

However, he hardly ever responded. He couldn't understand her fascination in such things. Eventually, Emelie stopped sharing those "boring" tidbits with him.

After that, she took on the role of a chief secretary. She became composed, calm, unfazed, and adept at handling everything that came her way.

In contrast, William's desire to share arose when Emelie started working in Weston at the Swanson Corporation. He pursued her, eager to rekindle their relationship.

During that time, he was unusually clingy. He texted her frequently. He would tell her about his meals, the weather, and the audacity of new clients. He even ranted about the careless mistakes his old subordinates made.

He would tell her he missed her and call her sweet names. He even asked her to call him by his nickname," Liam". However, Emelie didn't bother him much back then.

They had loved each other, but had never truly been in love. At their most affectionate, both of them thought their relationship was optional.

William chuckled ironically at himself. Suddenly, the pain in his lungs shifted into heartache. It felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Before the call ended, William reached out and knocked on Emelie's door.
