Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 687

When Emelie worked as William's secretary for three years, she had the strongest desire to share things with him.

In her first six months on the job, Emelie would tell William everything that happened to her. Quirky clients she had met, interesting gossip she had heard, and even funny videos she found online. She often shared them with him during lunch or when they were alone.

However, he hardly ever responded. He couldn't understand her fascination in such things. Eventually, Emelie stopped sharing those "boring" tidbits with him.

After that, she took on the role of a chief secretary. She became composed, calm, unfazed, and adept at handling everything that came her way.

In contrast, William's desire to share arose when Emelie started working in Weston at the Swanson Corporation. He pursued her, eager to rekindle their relationship.

During that time, he was unusually clingy. He texted her frequently. He would tell her about his meals, the weather, and the audacity of new clients. He even ranted about the careless mistakes his old subordinates made.

He would tell her he missed her and call her sweet names. He even asked her to call him by his nickname, "Liam". However, Emelie didn't bother him much back then.

They had loved each other, but had never truly been in love. At their most affectionate, both of them thought their relationship was optional.

William chuckled ironically at himself. Suddenly, the pain in his lungs shifted into heartache. It felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Before the call ended, William reached out and knocked on Emelie's door.

In the past, he would've stormed in if he knew Emelie was being affectionate to another man. She belonged to him, and no one could come close.

However, William didn't want to make her angry. The last thing he wanted was for her to dislike him even more. Interrupting them was the worst he could do.

Emelie assumed it was Jodie, and she casually called out, "Come in."

William didn't enter but knocked on the door twice more.

Emelie quickly caught on, realizing the person outside wasn’t Jodie.

"It sounds like work. I'll handle some things first," she said to Wesley.

"Okay. It’s getting late. Quickly finish up and get some rest," Wesley replied.

"Got it," she said.

After she ended the call, Emelie went to open the door.

William straightened his posture, his expression neutral.

"Mr. Middleton, is there something you need?" Emelie asked, looking at him.

He handed her the cotton slippers. "Found these somewhere. I thought you might want them."
