Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 696

Everyone present was burning with curiosity. Someone immediately asked, "CEO Dennis, why did Archie come to send you flowers?"

"Emilia, how close are you with Archie?"

"Emilia, what's inside that envelope?"

...

Seeing their eager faces, Emilia offered a brief explanation.

"Mr. Archie already said it himself. He was just passing by to drop something off. It wasn't a special trip."

"He was a former colleague of my father's. The last time we met was when my father was still alive."

But as for the contents of the envelope, she didn't breathe a word.

She simply watched Archie's Rolls-Royce drive away before looking away.

Seeing the crowd still buzzing with questions, Emilia smoothly redirected them. "Let's not focus on that, alright? Today is the grand opening of Inceptus. Make sure to join the banquet later tonight."

With that, she turned and went back inside.

Only then did the crowd drop the subject.

But the speculation quickly flared up again.

Why exactly was Archie in Alden City on a business trip?

Was something massive about to happen?

Back in her office, Emilia told her secretary she was a bit tired and needed to rest for a moment.

She walked into the inner room.

Staring at the familiar envelope, she lost herself in thought.

"What's wrong?" Theodore asked. He had quietly entered the room, his gaze landing on the envelope.

"Just thinking about the past," Emilia replied.

Back when her father was still alive, everyone who saw her addressed her respectfully as Miss Dennis.

Inman Dennis had started his career in the domestic market relatively late, but in Argentelle, his influence had been astronomical.

Over in that capitalist empire, given her father's sheer capability, countless people were desperate to curry favor with him.

And as his only daughter, Emilia's status had been extraordinary.

A memory flashed through her mind—the first time she and Theodore had crossed paths.

She smiled faintly. "Come to think of it, the last time I saw Archie was the same time we first met."

Theodore raised a brow, a soft smile playing on his lips. "What a coincidence."

Emilia nodded.
