Chapter 687 Never Truly Been In Love 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 beccomposed, calm, unfazed, and adept at handling everything that cher 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 cclose.

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, "Cin." 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 sthings first," she said to Wesley.

"Okay. It's getting late. Quickly finish up and get srest," 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." "Thank you," Emelie replied, her tone devoid of emotion.

"Goodnight," William said.

Emelie didn't give a response and simply shut the door.

William stood outside her door for a minute before finally walked away.

The snow lasted longer than they had all expected. It continued for three days with no sign of stopping. The inteeven called it the worst snowstorm that Borealis City had ever seen in the last decade.

At that rate, they would be stuck there for quite stime.

Before eight in the morning, Emelie got out of bed.

After she freshened up, she poured herself a glass of warm water. She stood by the window, sipping it as she looked at the scenery outside.

William's voice sounded from behind. "Am I really that hard to be around? You keep frowning at the snow every day." The reflection of the glass betrayed Emelie's expression, and she also saw William from it.

"Mr. Middleton, you know what your greatest strength is? Your self-awareness," she replied O M ness," she indifferently. William took out a chessboard from the drawer beneath the coffee table. "Want to play? It'll help pass the time."

Emelie turned around to see the laid-out chess pieces. The models of the black-and-white pieces were in various shapes and sizes. "Chess?" she said.

"Know how to play?" William replied.

Since Emelie had nothing else to do, she set her cup down and walked over. "He taughtbefore. I know a bit." Of course, she was referring to Wesley.

William silently set up the board and made the first move.

"Being stuck here might actually be a blessing in disguise for you," he remarked out of the blue.

Emelie lifted her gaze. "What do you mean?"

"Why did you leave Capebatt City around this time? Isn't it because the Davis Group is about to go down?" William moved another piece, his tone flat and serious. Ashburn X
