Emelle passed in her tracks, Looking back, she could see that the two women had disappeared around the hallway’s corner.

She didn’t know them, nor hail she ever interacted with them.

Suddenly being called a set left her uncertain if it was even directed at her

Afterhesitating for a moment, Emelle decided not to chase after them for an explanation.

Since she was new to the area, she thought it would be best to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

As she made her way back to her rooms, a heavy feeling settled in her chest

After enjoying a soothing hot shower, she changed into clean clothes and started drying her hair.

Suddenly, she sneezed a few times, feeling a chill creeping through her body.

She didn’t think much of feeling a bit chilly in the moming that, it seemed she had caught a cold, probably from Jet skiing and being out in the

Emelie touched her forehead and was relieved to find that she didn’t have a lover.

As she came out of the bathroom, she spotted William lounging on the living room couch.

He was already dressed in a suit.

He gestured toward the table, saying, “There’s water there. Finish it”

Emelie walked over, puzzled. The liquid had a rich, dark color. She sniffed it and realized it was a cup of ginger tea.

Taking a sip, she felt warmth spread from her stomach throughout her body.

She couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you, Mr. Middleton.”

William asked, “How close are you and Samuel?”

Emelie took a moment before answering. “We’ve had two meals together and had coffee once.”

William sneered, “And that’s enough for you to introduce her sister to me?”

Emelie held her tea and asked, “Mr. Middleton, did you forget about Ms. Swanson? She pursued you before.”

William genuinely couldn’t recall. “When did that happen?”

“It was three years ago,” Emelie explained.

“You gave a speech on stage, and she was smitten with you instantly. She even tried to pursue you for a while.”

William couldn’t remember, “What was my reaction at the time?”

“It seemed like you weren’t very interested,” Emelic answered.

With his legs crossed, William asked, “If I wasn’t interested back then, why would you think I am now?”

Emelie wondered if William was saying he had no feelings for Melanie,

She was uncertain. “Aren’t you two dating?”

William glanced at her, his tone teasing, “So you’ve always

“If that’s what you thought, then why did you end up in bed with me that night? You’re knowingly playing the role of a third wheel?”

Emelie was caught off guard.

She hadn’t anticipated him saying that.

In an instant, she felt the blood rush to her face, which then drained away, leaving her pale with shock.

Admittedly, she wasn’t exactly a saintly figure, or else she wouldn’t have willingly chosen to be romantically involved with him.

But that night, it was he who initiated the conversation about their first time together three years ago.

It left her emotionally shattered and delenseless, and he took advantage of her vulnerability.

She couldn’t believe he was now turning the situation around and ridiculing her.

Emelle felt a wave of coldness wash over her. Her hands were shaking as she held onto her tea. She was unable to find the words to speak.

William hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from her and decided not to tease her any further.

“There’s nothing between me and her, so don’t overthink it.”

So there was nothing between William and Melanie, not even dating. But Emelie no longer belloved him.

Fortunately, she would soon be able to move away from him and escape his manipulations.

Emelie managed to compose herself and then reconsidered,

Putting aside Samuel’s character, when it came to Melanie, she was just a young, naive girl.

If she ended up getting hurt because of her involvement with this man, Emelie would feel responsible.

“If you’re genuinely uninterested in Ms. Swanson, Mr. Middleton, I suggest you fire her as soon as possible,” she suggested.

William seemed indifferent. “Why?”

“She’s here with the intention of developing a relationship with you. If you’re not interested, it’s best to reject her promptly.

“Otherwise, the longer she invests, the more emotionally involved she becomes, and the easier she’ll be hurt.”

William found that Emelie was quite good at finding excuses.

First, she got rid of Cindy. Now, she wanted to drive away Melanie, all to have him to herself.

William wondered why he hadn’t noticed before how ambitious she was.

But Emelie’s genuine concern for him made him hesitate, William pondered whether he should actually let her be “shared“.
