Chapter 52 He Was Humillating Her

Women were casual topics of conversation during their leisure time, meant to pass the time. Their focus

was still on work.

Jayden put down the cup of coffee and quickly got to the point about why he had come to see William. The two of them talked for the entire afternoon.

As it was time to leave work, they prepared to go out for dinner. Just as they stepped out of the office, they saw Cindy dumping half a cup of water on Emelie.

It was too sudden, and Emelle didn’t have time to dodge.

The water splashed onto her face and then dripped down onto her clothes from her chin.

Cindy dropped the cup and ran off, covering her mouth. She looked like she was crying.

Emelie’s expression remained indifferent. She didn’t bother to look at the other people in the office.

Instead, she grabbed some tissues to wipe her face.

Since William already had a suitable candidate for the secretary position, Cindy naturally couldn’t stay. So Emelie had the HR department inform her not to come in tomorrow.

Cindy immediately understood. She had been played by them–more accurately, by Emelie.

Cindy was furious after having offended Jeremy and then being sacked by Cloudex.

Disregarding everything, she rushed over and splashed half a cup of cold water on Emelie.

But rather than being angry, Emelie felt annoyed. Very annoyed.

If it weren’t for William pressuring her with legal matters, she would still be enjoying her vacation.

She wouldn’t have to come back to deal with his messes, choose a new secretary for him, and handle

these unwanted suitors.

Sighing, Emelie got up and headed to the changing room to change her shirt.

But as she turned around, she saw William and Jayden standing there. The former was looking at her

expressionlessly.

Emelie paused for a moment, then reported, “Mr. Middleton, I’ve already handled the secretary matter.”

William ruthlessly criticized, “That’s a really shitty way of handling it. If this is all you’re capable of, you’re

not fit for the head secretary position.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Middleton. I’ll do better next time,‘ Emelle replied.

After all, she only had one week left with the company. Whether she was fit as the head secretary didn’t matter much to her anymore.

William’s cold gaze swept over her body, finally stopping at the semi–transparent collar of her shirt.

Suddenly, he said, “We’re going out to eat. You’re coming with us.

“Okay, let me change my clothes.” She couldn’t go out looking like this.

He smirked. “No need. You’re going like this.”

Emelie was stunned. Like this?

William: walked up to her and said in a low and malicious voice.

“Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll know how embarrassing it is to handle things poorly.”

Emelie understood that he was deliberately humiliating her.

Emelie was wearing a chiffon shirt, which was rather thin. She had worn a small camisole underneath. But after being soaked with water, the shirt became almost transparent, and the camisole was faintly visible.

Although it hadn’t reached the point of being a wardrobe malfunction, it was enough to attract attention.

Emelie looked up at him. “Are you sure about this, Mr. Middleton?”

“What do you.

think?” William’s gaze was icy.

Emelie breathed steadily and obeyed. “Alright.”

So, from taking the elevator downstairs to walking out of the company, Emelie attracted countless stares

within a short distance of 300 feet.

Emelie was stunning, but her demeanor exuded a certain aloofness.

With her hair slightly disheveled, makeup flawed, and clothes half wet, she looked as if something terrible had happened to her.

And this messy beauty was enough to make people think of indecent things, giving rise to impure

fantasies.

Those people, especially men, looked at Emelie as if they wanted to do something to her on the spot.
