Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3001

Emily agreed to help Edwina Edgar Bishop with her workload today.

Charlie heard she was working late and was clearly a bit disappointed, but didn't say much. "I'll pick you up after the banquet," he offered.

"I'm sorry, Charlie," Emily said softly.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Focus on your work," Charlie replied, his voice gentle and indulgent.

"Okay," Emily agreed.

At the James Building.

Charlie hung up the phone and frowned slightly as he looked at the screen.

Emily was always so busy, and they were spending less and less time together. It hardly felt like they were dating at all.

Usually, it was the boyfriend who was busy, leaving the woman feeling insecure, but their situation was completely reversed.

He let out a self-deprecating chuckle. He never thought he'd see the day he'd be the needy one!

Emily ended the call, bit her lip in thought for a moment, then set her phone down and turned back to work.

Before it was time to clock out, she found Edwina Edgar Bishop. "Edwina, I need to head out early. I've finished the first ten pages of the project files, and I'll do the rest at home. I'll send it to you before I go to bed tonight."

Edwina smiled. "Thank you so much, Emily."

"We're a team," Emily smiled back. "I'll get going now!"

"Bye!" Edwina waved.

Emily packed up her things and quickly left the office.
