Chapter 267 Emelia Shows Her Vulnerable Side
Emelia held her breath, trying to stay calm. “It’s not that. I thought it would be three or five years, but ten years was unexpected. However, thinking about it, work is work no matter where you do it. Working for Cloudex Corporation for ten years is certainly worthwhile.”
William responded, “Then sign it. An electronic signature is legally binding. I’ll watch
He was relentless
you do it”
Emelie put her phone down and said, “I trust you, Mr. Middleton. But ten years… If I live to be so years old, that’s one–eighth of my entire life. Considering I’ve already lived 25 years, I don’t have much time left.”
William scoffed and said, “It’s just a contract. You talk as if I’m asking for your life.
“Even if it’s not taking my life, it’s certainly taking half of it.” Emelie lowered her bead and gave a bitter smile.
“I graduated college at 22 years old and started working for you. Alter leaving, I was left with nothing but a sick body.”
She had no makeup on, relying on her naturally good son. Her complexion was flawless under natural light, but without lipstick and blush, she looked pale.
William’s dark eyes were like deep waters as he silently watched her
Emelleted her head. Her eyes were clear and expressive, carrying a certain sadness that made her look pirable.
“If getting blacklisted after leaving and becoming unhireable in the industry counts as a ‘gain‘, then being accused by Daphne and Olivia of being the other woman in your relationship, even though I was with you first is also a ‘gain. I never imagined I’d experience such a life.”
She rarely showed weakness.
No, she never showed any weakness.
One could have been easily fooled by her slender figure, soft voice, and seemingly endless patience.
Even when furious, Emelie rarely raised her voice, but she had an unyielding spirit.
That was why he often said she didn’t understand dependence, that she wasn’t endearing.
But now, she was expressing her grievances.
William felt a strange itch in his throat, like a feather brushing against it. After a few seconds, he spoke coldly, “All this talk just to avold signing.”
“I can sign, but I need my lawyer to review it first. If she says it’s fine, then I’ll feel secure.” Emelie countered immediately, “Surely, you wouldn’t deny me the time to consult my lawyer, would you?”
William asked, “Your lawyer is Ashley Thornton, right?”
Emelie replied, “Yes.”
William exclaimed, “Her fees aren’t cheap”
Emelie remarked, “We’re friends now. It’s posta consultation, so she’s not charging me.”
William leaned back, the oppressive pressure he had been exerting easing “Do as you wish. Send it to her.”
