Chapter 176 Lingering Feelings

Felle said, “You seem to like sharing your personal affairs with me. Ever since we were on the plane, you've been

tellingeverything.”

She added, “1 thought people usually like being private, yet you seem to like sharing about it. Do you have any

weird kinks?”

Patricia smirked. “Does it bother you? Because of what happened with Mr. Middleton? Are you jealous?

“Deep down, you still have feelings for him, don’t you? After all, you did spend three years with him. It's not easy

to just cut ties like that.”

Emelie didn’t take the bait. She replied with her own point, “if you do have a condition, | suggest you see a

psychologist. Not everyone enjoys hearing about someone’s personal life all the time.

“It can be uncomfortable. But if you considera rival and talk about your relationships to show off or irk me,

then you're wasting your

Patricia's smirk began to fade.

Emelle continued, “I'm upset, yes, but not for the reasons you think I'm annoyed because your lack of

professionalism has put us both in a difficult position.

“I spent all night preparing the project plans for today so we could work efficiently, not be gossiped about or

have our reputations questioned. Now people think I'm like you, relying on relationships with men to get ahead”

Emelie didn’t sugarenat her words, leaving Patricia nowhere to hide.

Patricia’s face, which usually carried a seductive and charraing smile, now showed no expression. But if she

hadn’t repeatedly overstepped her bounds, Emelle wouldn't have felt compelled to say these things.

Emelie offered one last piece of achtice, “I have no interest in Mr. Middleton. Whatever you two do is none of my

business..

What you Leasure might be worthless to someone else-not everyone finds it appealing. A person should value

self-respect, Ms. May. So maybe try loving yourself a bit more.”

“Self-respect. Patricia muttered, and she smirked. However, her eyes remained cold. “Yes, to you, I'm just an

undignified, flirtatious woman, right?”

Emelie hadn't quite meant it that way, but she chose not to clarity.

Patricia's paze shifted back to her.

Emelie had a well-defined bone structure, and her features were bold and balanced, she could pull off any

makeup style, be it heavy or subtle. People would say she was the kind of beauty with a “ce made for the screen’

Patricia had noticed her the first tthey met on the cruise ship, watching how she played poker with a group

of executives on the second floor,

she had navigated through the situation and eventually secured bet safety. Even Bryan had praised her for

turning a bad hand into a successful escape. It was a testament to her

Emelie had beauty, but it seemed like her looks were the least remarkable thing about her.

It was much untilor Patricia, who now had to rely on her looks, weaving through a sea of men.

“You've got quite a talent for lecturing. Ms. Hoven,” Patricia said nonchalantly. “You should consider career as a

morals and ethics teacher. | have scontacts in tharfield it you're interested.

“No thanks,” Emelie replied curtly, having had enough of her, and turned to get into the car.

Patricia turned her head. “Ms. Hoven, | know it’s not easy for you, but why don’t you just take the easy way? Isn't

cloudex Corporation a nice place? Wouldn't it be great to go back to William? It’s rare for him to lower his head

to someone.

H

So, “cback to me” meant William was humbling himself. Emek had thought it was a command.

She didn’t respond. She got into the car and saw Patricia walk away, but she didn’t know where to. Not wanting

to waste more ton Patricia, she told the driver, “Let’s go to the next location.”

Patricia went to the office where she'd heard the gossipers. They were all still there. She kicked over the trash

can, and a

dit fell with a loud crash, starting everyone inside.

She leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, her red dress catching everyone's eye. Her smile was

seductive, but her eyes were cold and dangerous.

“Was it you guys who said | got my job by sleeping with men?” she asked.

The people in the office glanced at each other, unsure how to respond.

Patricia’s lips curled into a dangerous smile. She was like a brightly colored snake-beautiful but deadly.

“You're not wrong,” she said. “I do rely

on men. It's my skill ol whered

“So, what'll it be? You hand in your resignation yourselves, or should ask my man to do it for you?!
