Chapter 1163
“No need, the subway is really convenient,” Emily quickly explained as she caught up. “Besides, if I ride in your car
on my first day of work and someone sees it, it might start unnecessary gossip.”
Charlie scoffed. “What gossip? Even if you’re the woman I fancy and you’re assigned to work with me, who dares to
judge?”
Emily was taken aback, her cheeks flushing. She looked down and whispered, “You might not care, but I do.”
Charlie regretted; he had blurted them out without much thought.
When the elevator arrived, he strode in..
Seeing that Emily was still standing there, he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into the elevator.
As soon as Emily entered, she immediately took a step back to maintain distance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie, expressionless, spoke softly: “Work ran late today; just ride with me. From now on, I won’t meddle in your
affairs. Don’t overthink it; I’m just doing this so Kya won’t worry about you at home.”
Emily nodded gratefully and said, “Thank you!”
This time, a driver was at the wheel. With the driver there, the atmosphere was even more awkward.
Emily thought to herself that Charlie’s relationships with the women around him were anything but normal. Surely,
this driver would assume she was Charlie’s lover too.
She couldn’t explain, so she just tried to keep her distance from him.
Charlie was constantly on the phone, occasionally glancing her way.
After hanging up, he almost laughed seeing her leaning against the car door “You’ll fall out if you move any further
back!”
Emily froze, embarrassed.
Charlie chuckled. “Are you that scared of me? Am I going to hurt you?”
Emily shook her head. “Not fear, respect!”
Charlie mocked, “Do you think I’d believe that?”
Her avoidance and fear didn’t sit well with him. He even started missing the Emily who would stand up to him and
tease him.
He suddenly chuckled. No, she would still stand up to him now!
Emily didn’t respond, and Charlie didn’t bother her again.
They rode in silence, with Charlie occasionally answering a call
Emily’s phone also rang. It was Estelle, asking why she hadn’t come home yet. Was Charlie giving her a hard time?
Emily whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll be home soon.”
After hanging up, Charlie turned to her and asked her, “Was that Estelle?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mhm.”
“Is she worried I’ll hurt you too?”
Emily kept silent.
“Hah!”
Charlie scoffed, he was increasingly puzzled. After all, she was the one who owed him. What had he done to make
Emily and Estelle so wary of him?
They arrived at Sunset Ridge, and Emily thanked him and got out of the car
Charle resisted the urge to go see Kya and gave a nonchalant nod. As soon as Emily got out, he immediately
instructed the driver to turn around and leave.
Emily watched as the black Rolls Royce quickly disappeared from sight, sighing softly as she turned to head
upstairs.
She rubbed her face, feeling a bit numb from the stress and frequent smiling
Indeed, being around him was a challenge for her.
