Chapter 1275
Charlie raised an eyebrow, his gaze deepening as he casually asked, “She really said that?”
“Yes, I’m quite disappointed,” Gavin replied.
The cloud over Charlie’s face gradually lifted and a smile crept across his face. “Need a hand? I can get someone
to score you a pretty one.”
“Don’t think I’m as thirsty as you. I appreciate Emily for her skills, Gavin said seriously.
“Whatever you appreciate her for, she won’t work for you. And you’d better keep your distancel” Charlie warned
sternly.
“Mr. James, tell me you’re not actually falling for her?” Gavin asked in surprise.
Charlie being so protective of Emily was definitely suspicious.
“No way, Charlie denied firmly. “My thing with her is way more complicated than you think. So, stay out of it!”
“Alright, but considering how loyal she is to you, you should treat her better. Stop giving her a hard time, she’s such
a sweet girl!”
Whether I treat her well or not, she knows!” Charlie sneered, “Get back to work, I’m hanging up!”

Charlie frowned, Tl deal with it!”
After hanging up, Charlie’s anger subsided a bit. He realized he had been a bit harsh earlier. He initially wanted
Emily to come over so he could check on her wound. But, remembering her tear-streaked face that night and her
pleasant date with Martin yesterday, his anger flared up again.
Did she really know how good he had been to her?
Came to think of it, she clearly had no clue!
Charlie rubbed his forehead and decided to stop overthinking things. He was more likely to reprimand her than
comfort her.
In the end, he called Tracy and instructed her, “Go buy some antiseptic and wound medicine for Emily”
Tracy nodded and left the room.
Two days later, the deal with Frank was settled. Tracy brought the drafted contract to Charlie. He glanced at it and
complimented her, “Good job!” Tracy smiled, “Frank was keen to work with us. I just did my part, without much
effort Emily contributed more in the early stages.”
Charlie nodded, “Eitherway, you both worked hard.”
He took two bags from the table beside him and handed them to Tracy. These are rewards for you and Emily”
Tracy gratefully accepted. Thank you, Mr. James!”
Leaving the contract with Charlie, Tracy left the office with the bags. She passed Emily’s desk and left one there,
“Our deal with Frank is settled. This is a reward from Mr. James.”
Emily looked up in surprise, “I wasn’t involved in the final negotiations.
“You contributed in the early stages. Anyway, it’s a reward from Mr. James. We both got one,” Tracy said coldly.
Emily didn’t say anything else, just nodded and thanked her, “Thank you!”
“You should thank Mr. James! Tracy said before returning to her desk.
Emily opened the bag to find a set of luxury brand lipsticks, the very ones Waters had tried to give her.
Charlie had given her a whole set, eight in total.
Emily stared at the shimmering set of lipsticks, speechless.
After a while, Emily texted Charlie, “Received the reward, thank you, Mr. James
Charlie didn’t reply.
The weather had been blazing hot lately, waking up to stiffling heat each morning. It’s bearable in an air-
conditioned room, but when they were out shooting, the only refuge was under a parasol.

cooler.
Yulia, fanning herself, asked her assistant, “Does Estelle Macclain have any ice? Buy some more and send them to
her. Also, grab a couple more fans for her”
“Right away!” The assistant immediately replied and rushed off.
Carmella Macclain happened to be passing by just as the assistant nearly bumped into her in his haste.
“Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?” Carmella asked, clearly annoyed.
“Yulia asked me to get Estelle some ice and a few extra fans, the assistant answered.
A flash of jealousy flashed through Carmella’s eyes, and she scoffed, “Ever since Yulia got chummy with Estelle, she
only has eyes for her. You’re already running around for Yulia and now you have to cater to a designer too.”
The assistant shrugged helplessly. “It’s Yulia’s orders, I can’t exactly disobey them.
1 bet Estelle’s doing this on purpose, taking advantage of Yulia’s favor to boss you guys around. If it were me, I
wouldn’t let her get away with it!” Just as Carmella finished, a stern voice sounded from behind, “Carmella, what
are you blabbering about?”
Carmella spun around to find Yulia, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, glaring at her.
