CHAPTER 168

Chapter 168 Our Wives

Emelleimmediately explained, “Mr. Swanson, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not..”

“I don’t wanna hear about it,” Samuel said. “I will take it as it is. If you have other things to say, then explain to me after settle the matters here. I’ll pick you up from Winstour City.”

Emelie felt helpless.

Samuel added, “It’s late. Rest well. Bye.”

Then, he hung up without even giving her a chance to say anything.

Sampel swung open the balcony door with a sprayer in his hand, tending to his mint plants. His mood was lifted by the simple pleasure of it all

Memories flooded back from earlier at school during break, catching snatches of conversation from a group of college guys. “Tyler, your griend’s a stunner, Why can’t we look ather..”

Sammelcouldn’t help but smile at their audacity.

They were really trying to test his friend’s loyalty. But then again, who could blame them?

After all this time, that certain someone still hadn’t shown up.

Couldn’t really blame them

The next morning, Emelie called Samuel again

Samuel picked up, his voice sounding even softer with a hint of amusement as he asked, “Are you in such a hurry to say I was wrong?”

Emelie paused for a moment she realized he thought this call was a continuation of their conversation from last night. He assumed she was eager to refute the idea that she cared about him

In a hushed tone, Samuel murmured, “Well, now I’m feeling a bit hart”

Emeinstinctively replied, “No, it’s not that I don’t care about you. I mean_”

Wait, that was wrong!

But Samuel caught on quickly, his smile growing wider as he said, “So you do care about me?”

Not having experience in relationships was really a disadvantage–it was so easy to get caught up in misunderstandin

Samuel, who always acted so professionally, was actually quite skilled in teasing

Emelie decided to smoothly change the subject. “I really do have something important to discuss.”

Samuel understood the need to drop the playful banter. “Alright, no more jokes. What’s the matter?

“Yesterday, while I was working, I overheard them saying that Mrs. Parker went to work in Capebatt City.”

“Alright.”

“you sell Mr. Swanson to find a way to mother.”

“And then?

They spent an hour on the phone discessing it. Before ending the call, Samuel said, “If this pens out, I’ll have my brother send you an offer right away”

Emelie smiled, feeling pleased.

However, her mood wasn’t as pleasant during the afternoon’s work. This time, she had to work with William and Jayden

They went to inspect the base under construction, with William and Jayden leading the way and negotiating with the base’s manager.

Emelie and Patricia followed behind.

Patricia was clad in a red maxi dress paired with heels, It wasn’t that she couldn’t dress that way, but navigating the uneven terrain of the construction site in heels was a bit inconvenient

Of course, Emelie wouldn’t say anything about it. Her main task was still to record data. As she was writing, she suddenly heard someone shout, “Watch out!”

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a thick steel rod coming crashing down, coincidentally right above Emelie and Patricia’s heads.

Emelle reacted swiftly, pushing Patricks out of harm’s way just in time.

Due to her pushing Patricia away, Emelie was a beat slower, and it seemed like she was about to be hit.

But just then, someone lunged forward, shielding Emilie underneath them.

With a loud that, the steel rod hit the ground, and everyone rushed out.

Emelie was stunned. After regering her senses, she immediately turned to see who had protected her.
