Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1734

Chapter 1734

“The elevator's here, go ahead and bye!" Allen said goodbye to Emily in a familiar tone.

“See you tomorrow!" Emily waved her hand, and then she followed the crowd into the elevator.

Once they left the office building, Gavin paused for a moment before turning back to Emily, “Emily, ride in my car!"

Emily shook her head, "No, thanks. I'll take our deputy director's car!"

Charlie hesitated for a moment before getting into his car.

Gavin got into the car, glancing at Charlie's tense profile, and he casually remarked, "Emily might be trying to avoid any misunderstandings by keeping her distance. Don't overthink it."

Charlie gave him a brief, indifferent glance, "Keeping a distance is the right approach. But don't be too friendly when you meet her in the future. We don't want people to assume that she’s chosen just because of personal connections when, in fact, her design is excellent."

Gavin raised an eyebrow, grinning, "We're the clients, and we can choose whomever we want. I doubt anyone would dare to criticize our decision. Mr. James, you seem unusually cautious! It's not your usual style!"

Charlie's heart skipped a beat as a rare flicker of irritation crossed his handsome face, "You've been quite talkative lately. There's a new project with InnovateHub Inc. in Megaton City. Maybe I should send you there?"

Gavin immediately shut up, focusing on driving, and not dare to provoke the evidently irritated any further!

Ron had booked a private room at Harmony Haven Hotel. Once inside, Charlie naturally took the main seat, while Ron deliberately gestured for Emily to sit next to him. Emily knew that based on her qualifications and status, she shouldn't be sitting in that position. She politely declined and took a seat next to Cedric instead.

Across from them were Chad and his assistant.

Charlie noticed Emily deliberately maintained her distance from him, his eyes lost a bit of their luster, and there was a mocking smirk at the corner of his lips.

Ron, who had seen Charlie come to support Emily that day, assumed their relationship was extraordinary.

However, seeing that they appeared distant now, he couldn't quite understand the situation.

The dinner began, and Ron spared no effort in flattering Charlie, continuously toasting him.

Charlie glanced at him, "Talkative!"

Gavin chuckled, "Right, right, I forgot again!"

Ron suddenly spoke up, “Emily, Mr. James used to be your boss, and now he's your client. You should come over and toast to him.

Emily was still lost in her design. She lifted her head in surprise. Her dazed expression made Charlie's heart skip a beat.

He felt that he might have had too much drinks today!

“Why are you standing there? Come and raise a toast!" Ron gestured to Emily.

Emily had no choice but to get up, walk over to Charlie and casually said, ‘Mr. James, this one's for you!"

Charlie lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp.
