Chapter 53 She Was More Like Daphne
William suddenly stopped in his tracks.
With a cold expression, he took off his suit jacket and tossed it at her. “Go buy yourself a new outfit.”
Emelie didn’t catch it, and the jacket ended up falling to the ground.
William’s expression visibly darkened. “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”
Seeing that, Jayden couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling exasperated.
Emelie remained calm. “I have spare clothes in the lounge. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Middleton, I wouldn’t have to spend money on another shirt.”
“You don’t even have money for a shirt?” William took out a card from his wallet and threw it at her.
Just like the jacket, it landed on the ground, too.
It seemed like they were at a stalemate.
In the end, Jayden couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He picked up the jacket from the ground and
brushed off the dust.
After putting the card in the pocket, he draped the jacket over Emelie.
“Ahem, there’s a mall right across. You should be able to find women’s clothing there, Ms. Hoven.
“Go pick out a new outfit. It’s getting cold. We just don’t want you to catch a cold.
“Use the card to buy whatever you need… We’ll be at Opulent Palate. Once you’ve bought your clothes, come straight over. We’ll wait for you to join us for dinner.”
William gave Emelie a cold glance and then turned to leave. Jayden followed suit.
Emelie didn’t hold back her anger for even a second.
She tore the jacket off her shoulders, grabbed it in her hand, and clutched it tightly. She was on the verge
of throwing it in the trash.
This damn man!
Alo
restraining herself for a full three minutes, Emelie turned around and headed toward the mall.
Meanwhile, Jayden couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you have to mess with her for no reason?”
She was William’s woman, and now another man was taking an interest in her. Wasn’t he just causing trouble for himself by provoking her?
William just felt that nothing about her pleased him.
Speaking from experience, Jayden warned, “You’ll regret this someday.”
Emelie entered the mall and didn’t bother looking at any particular brand.
She walked into a random store and told the sales assistant her size. “Please help me find a shirt. Thank you.”
The sales assistant brought her several different styles of shirts to choose from.
After a simple glance, Emelie picked one. She went into the fitting room and took off her wet shirt, but her heart still felt like it was stuck onto something, making her extremely uncomfortable.
She felt that if she continued to stay by William’s side, there would be a day when she would suddenly lose control and take a knife to end him and herself.
After changing into the new shirt, Emelie walked out of the fitting room and handed the wet shirt to the sales assistant to pack.
She then swiped William’s card, adding a 200% tip for the sales assistant.
The sales assistant was overjoyed and enthusiastically escorted her out of the store. “Thank you! Please come again.”
After leaving the mall, Emelie called William. “Mr. Middleton, I’ve walked too much today, and my legs hurt. I’m going home first.”
“Return the jacket to me. There’s an invoice in my pocket. If it’s lost or leaked, you’ll be fully responsible,” William replied.
In other words, he didn’t want her to leave and cut off her means of having someone bring the jacket back to him.
Emelie silently repeated, “I can do this,” 50 times before going to the restaurant
When she arrived, she realized that there was another lady at their table.
It was Melanie.
The moment Melanie saw Emelie, she exclaimed happily, “Emelie, I got the job! Thank you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to work with Will!”
Emelie had been busy with other work in the afternoon and hadn’t had a chance to tell Melanie that she had been hired.
So it meant that it was William who had personally told Melanie that she had been hired.
Was he that satisfied with her?
William had taken off his suit jacket, leaving only his shirt.
He had also put away his tie at some point, and he had unbuttoned one button of his collar, giving him a more casual look.
Sensing Emelie’s gaze on him, he looked up.
His eyes were deep, but they always gave people a cold and indifferent feeling, even at this moment.

Without saying a word, Emelie sat down, refraining from asking Melanie how she ended up here.
There were only two possibilities: either William summoned her, or it was a chance encounter.
Regardless, it didn’t concern her.
Emelie quietly placed her order while Melanie behaved in complete contrast.
She was very lively, just like a child. She pestered William with questions.
க
Since she wasn’t a business major, she didn’t know anything about business. She had to rely on William completely.
And what William liked was her dependence, so he responded to her every question.
When Emelie went to fetch water, she glanced at them again.
Melanie came from a prestigious family and had a sophisticated vibe. When they sat together, they seemed perfectly matched in every aspect.
And William was clearly interested in Melanie.

After all, Cindy’s innocence was an act, while Melanie was genuinely innocent. The latter was more like
Daphne in some ways.
