Chapter 288
Trampled Heart
It was Charles Davis.
Emelie was silent for a moment.
She frowned for a fraction of a second before returning to normal and said, “Good morning, Mr. Davis.”
“I’m not feeling good. My heart is in pain.”
Charles sa
on the couch with his legs crossed. With his handsome face and dashing smile, he looked even more like an irresponsible nepo–baby than he usually did.
“Ms. Hoven, you never thanked me for all the flowers I sent you. I was beginning to suspect that I had sent it to the wrong address, so I came here to check”
He then continued to complain. “And then, I heard from your janitor here that you would sign for the flowers and immediately dump them in the bin. The way you trampled on my heart has made it hard for me to breathe.”
It was true. Ever since Emelie started working at Swanson Corporation, Charles would send her flowers every day. They were quite expensive, featuring shining tulips or white roses. He sent her a whole bouquet each time and it attracted too much attention. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She called him the first time to refuse him. Then, she sent him a message to refuse him the second and third time. She began throwing them into the bin the fourth time and onward.
She even did it in front of the delivery boy who delivered the flowers to drive the point. She believed that the delivery boy would tell him. If he knew what she was doing with them, yet continued…She couldn’t come up with the perfect adjective yet, so she had to settle with annoying for now.
Emelle said without a change in her expression, “If that’s what you’re aslding about, then allow me to explain one more time. Please don’t buy me any more flowers. They’re quite expensive. With the money you save, you can donate to a charity!
Charles lowered his legs, put his elbows on his knees, and put his head in his hands. He intentionally warped what she said. “It you don’t like flowers, I can buy you something else Cake? Coffee? I could even treat your entire department to tea in your name?”
Emelie calmly said, “If you do that, then I’m going to call the cops for harassment”
Charles burst out laughing.
Bryan walked out of the lounge and glanced at Charles. “You come to my company and harass my secretary. Where’s your respect, Mr. Davis?”
“I’m trying to get myself a girlfriend, that’s all,” Charles said with a smile. The beauty that seduced me is in Weston. If I don’t see her, I can’t even sleep.”
Emele refused him respectfully. “Thank you for your praise, but I don’t believe I’m worthy of it, Mr. Davis. There are plenty of good women. Please don’t waste your efforts on me.
Charles didn’t buy it. “You might not have any feelings for me now, but you might if I continue to court you. Who knows, right?”
Emelie held her breath and chose not to continue the conversation. She set the documents on the table. “Mr. Swanson, these agreements need your signature.”
Bryan nodded. “Have a PA to make two cups of coffee
After Emelle left, Bryan opened the documents and told his friend a fact without reservation. “My younger brother also likes Emelle. First come, first serve. Get in line.”
Charles raised his eyebrow with disregard. “I don’t like queues. I like going directly to the end and stealing the prize first.”
He was willing to disregard his manners for her. “I can call you ‘Big Bro‘ too. Big bro, about the party at the Navarro house, could you please give me a hand?”
Bryan was a strong and tough man who exuded machismo. He closed his eyes as if thinking of something
An hour later, Bryan called Emeleto come in and she was handed a task. She would represent Swanson Corporation in celebrating the newly born Navarro twins one–month–old celebration
Charles said with a smile. “The heading to the party tonight as well, Ms. Hoven Why don’t we go together?
Emelie didn’t have the right to refuse.
The Navarros of Weston were also a famous family. When Mrs. Matilda Middleton got twins as grandchildren, she was so happy that she invited all her friends and families to a large party to celebrate with her.
Matilda was also a living legend within the industry. Those who were invited always showed their respect and attended her parties as long as they had the time.
When Emelie held Charles’s arm as she entered, she suddenly remembered that the first time she heard about Matikia was because of William.
“She and her husband were childhood friends and they loved each other very deeply. Unfortunately, Fate is a very cruel mistress. Her husband passed away at a very young age from heart disease, leaving her behind with her children.
“Her family came to bring her home but she refused. She took care of the children and raised the Navarros back to their former glory. It was all thanks to her that the Navarros managed to get to where they are today”
There were very few times that Willam expressed sincere admiration. The time when he talked about Matilda, all she could hear in his tone was the respect he had for her That was why he might be at the party,
