CHAPTER 136

Chapter 136 A Terrible Mood

After they left the restaurant, Samuel gently looked back at Emelle

“Shall we find somewhere else to have dinner? What do you think about having stew?”

He pretended like nothing had happened.

Emelie couldn’t help saying, “Can we really leave just like that?”

Samuel adjusted his glasses. “Of course. Why couldn’t we?”

“I’ve helped you prepare for this research for two months, and it’s important. Now, you’re giving it up just like that. Are you being too…”

“Am I bring too stubborn?” Samuel finished the sentence with a smile.

Emelie pursed her lips and spoke her mind.

“Ever since I realized you were working with Cloodex Corporation on this research, I expected this day to come.

“William never planned on letting me go at all. Since everything is in order, you don’t need me to share your

ir work anymore, it’s appropriate for me to leave now.

“You don’t have to waste your team’s effort just for me. It isn’t worth it.”

Samuel continued smiling and said gently, “I was just going to tease you. Seeing how serious you are, I can’t do this anymore.

“Honestly, I wasn’t interested in working with Cloudex Corporation at all. Didn’t you notice how unenthusiastic was during dinner earlier?”

It seemed to be true to Emelie.

She thought he just wasn’t satisfied with Cloudex Corporation’s harsh conditions.

“Swanson Corporation also invested in the project that Cloodex Corporation is working on. I only forcibly agreed to work with them because of my brother

“My research won’t go to waste if the partnership fails. There are other interested investors. You just gave me a reason to reject the partnership.

Samuel reached out to tuck her hairbehind her ear

“However, my brother might think badly of you for making me cause a scene because of you. So, I’m the one who should apologize to you.”

Emelie felt better when she beard that. Then, she mocked herself, “I truly am an outsider. I thought you had to work with Cloudex Corporation.”

“They have a great budget, but they are too domineering. What you said earlier was correct. Researching means discovering something new.

“They wanted too much control, and we were being limited. That’s why Cloudex Corporation isn’t the best option ”

Samuel continued gently, “Besides, I’m your friend, and I’ve witnessed how he bullied you. If I still choose to work with them when I have other options, I would be letting you down, right?”

Emelie couldn’t help feeling touched

Even though she was part of the reason, Samuel still took her into consideration when deciding to reject the partnership.

Emelie was touched by that “Thank you, Mr. Swanton.”

Samuel hinted at her to leave the place. Then, he said as they walked. “If you really want to thank me, go horseback riding with me tomorrow,

“Weston Riding Center was recently renovated, and I’ve always wanted to go. However, I couldn’t find a suitable friend to go with me.”

“But I don’t know how to ride horses.

“Then, it’s the perfect chance for me to be a great teacher. You’ve called me Mr. Swanson for so long, so I need to be your teacher at least once.”

Emelie was still hesitant, but she agreed in the end

After the dinner, William got into his car and returned to Eastbay.

He received a call from Bryan on his way back Bryan wanted to talk about the project again.

William’s face reflected in the window, and he looked cold. “I have time tomorrow. Let’s talk at the riding center.”

Abel held his breath, thinking the situation was bad. It seemed to him that William was in a terrible mood.

Samuel had no classes on Tuesday, and he had no other plans. That was why he had the time to ask Emelie out for horseback riding.

Emelle changed into riding attire and held on to a horse’s lead. She looked at the horse in its eyes lowardly

Truthfully, not only did she not know how to ride horses, but she was even terrified of them.

Almost all of the CEOs loved social sports. When she was working at Clondex Corporation, she leamed the basics of most sports to socialize with other CEOs Horseback riding was the only exception. She fell the first time she tried it and was almost stomped by the horse.

The near drab experience gave her trauma.

After thai, whenever a client asked to meet at the riding center, she would try her best to avoid it and get her other two colleagues to go instead.
