Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 866 Beck and Call

Emelie had always known that Jodie reported everything to Wesley. So, whether it was Lyle stopping by that night or her spending nearly a full day and night at Sunnington Hill, Wesley would probably know despite being all the way in Mercianna.

That meant he knew what Lyle had told her, and exactly what had gone down with William. He hadn't called in the last two days, most likely because he didn't know how to approach her, until now.

Emelie's eyes locked on her phone screen, where the words "Mr. Cronus" flashed in bright letters. She wondered what he wanted to say, but at the same time, she really wasn't in the mood to find out.

After she let it ring for a good ten seconds, she calmly reached over and pressed the decline button.

She hit the recline button on her chair and leaned back, letting it lower slowly into a more comfortable position.

Emelie leaned back and tried to relax, but her nerves wouldn't let her. Even after a few minutes of silence, the tension still buzzed beneath her skin.

She picked up her phone and typed out a quick message to Wesley. "I'm busy right now. I'll get back to you when I can,"

His reply came almost instantly, "Okay,"

She unbuttoned the top two buttons of her blouse, hoping to shake the tight, suffocating feeling that had crept in. But it clung to her stubbornly and unrelentingly.
