Winning Her Heart Back

 Playing the Role of a Couple Deeply in Love

After all, Emelie, who was the former chief secretary of Cloudex Corporation, was known by everyone in the company.

No one expected that after a year, she would return while holding William's hand.

Their open display of holding hands naturally sparked curiosity about their relationship.

Thus, within half an hour of Emelie entering Cloudex Corporation, almost everyone in the company knew about this news. This matter even became the hottest topic of conversation among the employees for the next three days.

Along with it, William and Olivia's old affair was also brought up again.

Gradually, everyone came up with a story. They believed that Emelie had resigned back then because William had been bewitched and seduced by Olivia, the vixen.

They thought that William had eventually come to his senses and won back his old love. The evidence was that William had frequently traveled to Weston last year, and Emelie had been at Weston's Swanson Corporation at that time.

This version of the story was confirmed when Ashton inadvertently revealed that William and Emelie were already married, making it the accepted truth and a popular topic of gossip.

Of course, all that happened later.

At this moment, Emelie didn't pay attention to the rumors. She entered the CEO's office and, upon seeing the familiar environment, couldn't help but recall some memories. She forcefully cleared these memories.

Following behind William, she asked, "The other day, you caught someone close to Wesley. What did you do with him?"

William unbuttoned his suit jacket as he asked, "The one named Marcel?"

"Yes."

"He's with Lyle. He's stubborn, and he refuses to disclose where you went that day. We didn't ask him anything further after that. If it weren't for you mentioning him, I would have forgotten about him." William took off his suit jacket and hung it on the rack.

Emelie said, "Let him go. I'm already in your hands, and he's of no use to you. Besides letting him go, you have no other way to deal with him. In a society governed by law, would you really dare to kill someone?"

William didn't answer her. He sat in his office chair while looking at Emelie, who was standing before him. He, too, felt a sense of familiarity from the environment.

He smiled and said, "Emelie, make me a cup of coffee."

Emelie mockingly replied, "Didn't you say that I am Mrs. Middleton?"

William corrected himself and said, "Well then, Mrs. Middleton, could you please make me a cup of coffee?

Emelie refused to serve him. She turned her head to look elsewhere.

He wasn't wrong in saying that her temper had grown.

William walked toward the coffee machine and asked, "What would you like to drink? But since you might be pregnant, you can't have coffee. How about some honey water?"

"I don't want to drink anything." She shouldn't have agreed to come to the company with him.

Staying in this overly familiar office made her feel very uncomfortable. She frowned and said, "I don't want to stay here. I want to go back to Eastbay."

William scooped a spoonful of honey and dissolved it in warm water. He said slowly, "We're newlyweds who are deeply in love, so we're naturally inseparable. Staying together at every moment shows how much we cherish each other. You will stay at the company today. If you get tired, you can sleep in the break

room."

Emelie didn't know that he liked acting. He even insisted that she played the role of a couple that were deeply in love together with him.

She stared at his profile for a moment, then turned and went into the break room in his office. After that, William entered the room several times. He brought her a glass of honey water and some snacks. He was afraid that she might get hungry, as if the unborn child mattered greatly to him.

Just when he went into the room the third time to bring her a small cake, his phone rang. He glanced at Emelie, who had her head buried under the covers, before picking up the call while walking out.

"Mr. Davis, what's the matter?"

Mr. Davis? Was it Charles Davis?

Emelie opened her eyes.

Charles asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Middleton, why are you speaking so softly?"

William replied, "Emelie is sleeping in my office, and I don't want to wake her."

Emelie couldn't hear the rest of the conversation as the door closed behind her.

She lay on her back while staring at the ceiling. After a few seconds, she took out a cotton swab from her pocket.

It was the one that the nurse had given her to stop the bleeding.

When the nurse had handed it to her, she had given Emelie a meaningful look, as if hinting at something.

Thus, Emelie had hidden the swab when William wasn't paying attention.

She held the swab up and inspected it closely, then noticed something.

The stick wasn't plastic but a rolled-up piece of paper!

Emelie's heart skipped a beat as she quickly sat up and unrolled the paper.

"Blood samples will be switched. Don't worry. Everything else will be prepared. Find a way to get the ICU room code."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

There was no signature, but Emelie knew that it was a note from Wesley.

He had already placed his people in the hospital, so she didn't need to worry about the test results. Regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, the results that William would receive would definitely state that she wasn't pregnant.

Emelie let out a sigh of relief but soon clenched her fists again.

The ICU room code?

William was probably afraid that she and Wesley would take Greta away, so he had used a code-lock. Without the code, forcibly breaking into the room would alarm everyone, thus making it impossible to

escape with Greta.

Then again, how could she get William to reveal such information?
