William’s gaze seemed to suggest something profound. But Emelle, feeling dizzy, unwell, and burdened by heavy
thoughts, wasn’t in the mood to delve deeper.
Even if he wasn’t considering firing Melanie, there was nothing she could do about it.
All she could do was subtly hint to Samuel to remind his sister not to get too emotionally invested in William.
However, William casually mentioned, “You're the head secretary.
“She works under you. If you think it’s not working out and you want to let her go, go ahead. You don’t need to

Emelie wondered if that meant Williams agreed to fire Melanie
William was always like this, making it hard for people to figure out what he was really thinking
What Melanie said was actually quite true. William had the kind of allure that stirred one’s desire to conquer, to
witness his true self.
However, Emelie had tried and failed miserably.
She no longer dared to pursue his affection. All she wished for now was for him to peacefully let her g
William got up and approached Enselie. She instinctively lifted her head as he reached out and held her chin...

“Secretaries have access to more confidential documents,” Emelie replied.
William pondered for a moment and asked, “So, are you feeling jealous of Melanie, or are you trying to defend
Samuel?”
Emelie paused briefly before replying. “Neither. I'm just discussing the matter as it is.”

The lunch meeting was casual, with a buffet-style setup
Still, william took advantage of the occasion to negotiate a one-year supply contract with two companies.

The woman looked at her from head to toe. “Really? You don’t know? There's a little secret activity on this cruise:
partner swapping “Partner swapping?”
“Wow, you seriously didn’t know?” The woman laughed, noticing Emelie’s confusion.
