Chapter 55 William Is Hungry
Melanie was overjoyed. “Really? Great!‘ She bounced with excitement. “Emelie, I won’t go with. See you at work tomorrow.”
Emelie nodded while William walked away without a word.
Facing the road, Emelie continued to walt for her ride.
you, then.
She couldn’t help but wonder when she and Melanie had become best friends. And were Melanie and William already a couple?
It seemed that it wasn’t that difficult to be William’s girlfriend after all. Daphne could be, and so could Melanie.
In the end, she was the only one who didn’t get that recognition after being with him for three years.
But Emelie hadn’t expected William to be this “hungry“.
The next day, when she arrived at the secretarial department, she not only saw Melanie but also Cindy.
Cindy swaggered over to her with a smug look.
“Mr. Middleton asked me to come back. He said I’ve made contributions to the company and won’t be fired.
“He also said that certain people shouldn’t take matters into their own hands.”
Emelie remained composed on the surface but couldn’t help but frown internally.
She made the stakes very clear yesterday, and William agreed, which was why he let her find Melanie as his secretary. So why did he decide to keep Cindy around?
What was worse was that Cindy’s eyes held not only satisfaction but also resentment.
She had developed a grudge against Emelie for firing her yesterday.
When Emelie went to William’s office to deliver some documents, she asked him, “Mr. Middleton, didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t keep Cindy?”
William retorted, “Didn’t you tell her that I was interested in her? Since you said so yourself, I had to keep her, of course.”
“I said that because earlier, you told me in the car that as long as I persuaded her to our side, you would be willing to compromise with Mr. Ramsey. Isn’t that showing interest in her?” she countered.
In retrospect, the half–cup of water she had been splashed with yesterday and Cindy’s current resentment shouldn’t have been directed at her but at William. He was the one playing games.
William returned his gaze to the documents and said indifferently, “Whatever you say. If there’s nothing. else, you can leave now.“,
Emelie didn’t like office politics.
Chapter 55 Witam la Hunery
Previously, the secretarial department had only her and two other secretaries.
They had clear divisions of labor, cooperated with each other, and never held each other back. It created a very harmonious working atmosphere.
Then Daphne came, causing choos by not knowing anything. It became worse now that there were two
Daphnes
The whole moming, Emelie felt like a nanny.
Melanie would call her over to help her figure out why her mouse was glitching or why her keyboard couldn’t use the copy shortcut.
Emelie couldn’t focus on her work because of the interruptions.
She said directly. “Ms. Swanson, you graduated from college, right?”
“I did, but I studied classical music, not computers.” Melanie pouted, feeling wronged.
Emelie replied, “It’s not about your major. Since you’ve been to college, your intelligence should be at
least at a normal level.
“So when you encounter something you don’t understand, you can just look it up online.”
“Oh, but I thought it would be faster to ask you,” Melanie said.
“But I also have work, and I’m very busy.”
“Okay, then I’ll go ask someone else.”
Emelie ignored her.
Half an hour later, a middle–aged man in a suit appeared in the secretarial department.
The man was carrying many cups of coffee and cupcakes. Melanie enthusiastically invited everyone to
come over and eat.
The secretaries looked at each other and politely declined, saying they weren’t hungry.
“I’ll just leave them here. Take whatever you want. Don’t be shy.”
She then asked the middle–aged man to sit next to her.
At first, she just asked him how to do this and that, but later, she let him do everything while she watched TV shows on her phone.
One of the secretaries couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Swanson, who is he?”
Melanie replied, “He’s my family’s butler. I asked him to come help me at work. He graduated from Orford University and is very capable.”
Everyone was speechless hearing that.
Indeed, Melanie was like a princess experiencing life in disguise.

Emelie pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn’t do anything to Melanie since it was William who decided to keep her around.
She was about to continue working when suddenly a file was thrown onto her desk, knocking her thermos
