Charlie rested his hands on the steering wheel, a torrent of unspoken words lodged in his throat.
The atmosphere inside the car turned heavy and suffocating.
After a moment, he broke the silence, his tone clipped. "Why didn't you tell me your new boss was bullying you?"
"I can handle it myself," Emily replied.
"Then why does Wilson know?"
Emily frowned. "I have no idea."
Lately, she had only run into Wilson once during her dinner with Orval. After that, they had only discussed opening the studio. They hadn't really gone into the details of their respective jobs.
She genuinely had no clue how Wilson found out about Adelaide targeting her. When he brought it up earlier, it had taken her completely by surprise.
"You two are opening a studio together?" Charlie demanded.
Emily paused, then nodded. "Yes."
His voice dropped an octave. "Why am I completely in the dark about this?"
Taking a deep breath, she explained, "Betty only briefly mentioned it before. I hadn't made up my mind yet, so I didn't say anything to you."
Charlie let out a cold scoff. "You're already here renting a space, and you still haven't made up your mind?"
The memory of sitting in his car, watching her and Wilson laughing and chatting as they discussed the studio, made his chest tighten with a suffocating wave of anger. She was his girlfriend, yet she kept him shut out, while Wilson seemed to know every detail of her life.

This was soooooo sooooo good! I loved it! Thank you for the updates....
Then Melanie and Noreen will both understand that Emily is his wife, who he chooses and cares to be with. We’ve already had so much drama when Emily took off for three years hiding her pregnancy from Charlie. Emily has already confessed that the only man she loves is Kya father, which Charlie is. Now he needs to boldly claim the only woman he loves is Emily…I just had to add my two cents (he he he)....
Now Charlie needs to take Emily to the marriage office like Gabriel did with Sylvia . Reassure her that he will not take for granted. Thank you for the updates. I’m loving it....
