Chapter 1264
Emily plopped down at her desk, shook off her mood, and returned to the day’s work.
All morning, Charlie James only handed out tasks to Tracy, even stuff that was usually Emily’s turf.
The business proposal Emily had spent ages preparing for Frank? That went to Tracy too.
Around noon, Tracy came out of the boss’s office, buzzing with excitement. She sauntered over to Emily and announced, “I’ve got a negotiation meeting with Mr. James over lunch, Might be back a bit late. Have all the documents prepped, will you?”
There was a smug glint in Tracy’s eyes as if she was making it clear to Emily that she still valued the most
She dumped all the other trivial tasks on Emily and focused on prepping for the meeting with Frank
Emily didn’t kick up a fuss. She just took on Tracy’s work instead
Before twelve, Tracy dressed up beautifully and left with Charlie
By the time Emily finished her tasks, it was almost one. She headed to the staff cafeteria on the twelfth floor for a bite and then back to her desk to work.
Tracy didn’t come back until almost three b’clock in the afternoon. She handed over some work to Angie from the finance department, and then they both chatted on the sofa.
Angie gushed. “Mr. James is treating you like a queen these days. He only took you to such an important meeting with Frank.”
Tracy responded with a smile, T’ve been at Mr. James’s side for years. reckon that’s worth something?”
She shot Emily a look and added, “Some people think they can get favour with Mr. James by cooking him a few meals and playing nice. It’s laughablet Mr. James has seen his fair share of women. He’s not going to fall for such cheap tricks.”
Emily, gripping her pen, took a deep breath and got back to work.
For the next couple of days, Charlie didn’t ask Emily to do anything for him. Whether it was meetings, parties, or negotiations, Tracy was his plus one.
Charlie didn’t even exchange words with her
At lunchtime, they didn’t eat together. Emily didn’t have to cook anymore. She ate at the staff cafeteria every day and then got back to her desk. Work seemed simpler.
On her way home in the evening. Emily sat on the bus, watching the bustling passersby, her mind drifting back to that night when Charlie held her tightly in his arms, kissing her passionately, and the way he looked at her in the dark before he left.
