Chapter 1636
The thirty-ninth floor.
After Emily came back, she started tidying up the documents. Half an hour later Tracy came out from the CEO’s
office, looking lost and completely devoid of confidence she shown in the past few days
She walked to her desk, let out a choked sob, and then began to pack her belongings.
It was clear that after what had happened, Tracy would be fired
A moment later, a girl named Maggie from the planning department was brought in to take over Tracy’s duties.
Emily carried some documents to find Charlie for his signature. Gavin was also in the office, jokingly saying, “I just
spoke to Mr. James that you’ve been put in a tough spot because of this, and we need to make it up to you
somehow
Emily replied calmly, “No, I should also bear some responsibility for this mess. I’m grateful that Mr. James isn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtholding me accountable. Considering what’s happened, I don’t think I’m suitable to participate in the bidding
process. Please have Mr. James arrange for another staff. I’ll provide full cooperation”
Charlie was looking at the documents with an indifferent expression. He didn’t even look at her as he said, “Hand it
to Maggie.”
“Got it” Emily nodded, handing Charlie the documents for his signature.
After signing the documents, Charlie slid them back across the desk without uttering another word.
Ever since Emily told him she didn’t love him, Charlie’s attitude toward her had been cold and distant. He had kept
his word. He maintained a professional demeanor, strictly businesslike and he no longer pried into her life or
mentioned their past.
Emily picked up the documents, nodded slightly, and left without showing any sign of emotion.
Gavin, looking at Emily’s retreating figure, asked Charlie, “Why do I sense that something is off between you two?”
“Nothing’s wrong!” Charlie replied indifferently, his head still buried in the documents. “Just focus on your task and
don’t be so curious!”
“By the way,” Gavin leaned in with knowing smile on his face, “do you really think Wilson had no idea about his
secretary’s undercover dealings with Waters? And didn’t realized that he was holding our reserve price?”
Charlie didn’t even look up. “That doesn’t matter now. The problem’s been resolved. Horizon Enterprises has
withdrawn from the bidding. Whether he knew or not is no longer our concern.”
“But, aren’t you worried that he might deceive Emily?” Gavin asked.
Charlie glanced up. “Do you have any other matters to discuss? If not, get back to work and stop bringing up
irrelevant matters in front of me!” Gavin shrugged, “Alright, I’ll go to work for someone!”
He stared to leave but turned back after a few steps, “I’m thinking of inviting Emily to dinner tonight to help her
relax. You’re okay with that, right?” Charlie replied coldly, “Whatever.”
Gavin was surprised. He had no idea why Charlie had abruptly ceased to care about Emily. He raised an eyebrow,
then turned and left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Gavin stepped out of the office, he noticed Emily’s desk was empty. He headed towards the pantry and saw her
there, filling up a mug with water. “It’s overflowing!” Gavin suddenly said.
Emily immediately looked down and retrieved the mug.
“What were you thinking? You seemed lost in thought!” Gavin teased, leaning against the glass door.
Emily wasn’t even sure what she had been thinking about. She turned to Gavin and asked, “Did you need
something, Mr. Gavin?”
“I’d like to invite you to dinner, as a sort of personal compensation from our company.”
“You really don’t need to do that, Mr. Gavin.” Emily replied with an apologetic smile, “I didn’t lose anything. And, it’s
actually you who have put in a lot of effort to investigate this matter.”
“Are you really not coming?” Gavin smirked.
“When I have the time, I’ll treat you, Mr. Gavin!”
“That sounds like a polite brush-off!” Gavin snorted. “Alright then, I’ll be off. If you need anything, feel free to find
mel
Emily nodded, her gaze was clear as she said, “Alright, thank you!”
