Chapter 590
Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 590 What Fiancée?
Emelie had reserved a private room in the restaurant. As soon as Jame sat down, the waiter began to serve them their food.
Even though Jaime had grown to admire and approve of Entelle after learning of her during his chat with William the previous day, he still felt the need to be critical of her. After all, she was taking his company away from him,
Seeing that she hadnât even asked what he liked and had instead ordered on her own, his expression tumed cold, and he was about to criticize her for being rude. However, he noticed that every dish the waiter served was exactly what he liked, down to the very dishes he usually ordered at this restaurant
It was clear that Emelie had meticulously researched his preferences and arranged everything perfectly. Jaime suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Once all the food was served, a waiter, dressed in a shirt and west with one hand behind his back, elegantly poured white wine into Jaimeâs glass.
Emelie gestured for him to eat, smiling faintly. She appeared much more approachable than she had been during their first meeting at the church and their second meeting at the cemetery.
âTheard that you love to have half a glass of white wine before meals, Mr. Torres. I wonder if the wine I prepared suits your taste?â she said.
Jaime thought that Emelieâs demeanor changed as quickly as a chameleon and snorted. âMy goodness, you even went to the trouble of finding out my habits and preferences.â
Emelie was once an impeccable chief secretary. She considered knowing each client in advance as basic homework.
Jaimeâs expression softened considerably as he looked at the young Cedonian woman seated in front of him. âYou havenât introduced yourself yet. I still donât know your name.â
âSorry, that was my oversight.â Emelie took out a business card from her bag and handed it over with both hands.
The light yellow business card had a faint fragrance and her name Mandy Pierce was written in three languagesâCedonian, Asteshese, and Faldorian.
Jaime had never heard of her before. He accepted the card and glanced at the woman behind Emelie, Jodie.
He asked, âIsnât she one of Cronusâ personnel? Why is she with you now? Whatâs your relationship with Cronus?â
Jodie lowered her head and glanced at Emelie before answering. âMr. Torres, you have a good memory. I am his familyâs bodyguard. As Ms. Pierce is my employerâs fiancée, Tam now responsible for her safety.â
Flance?
Jalme looked at Emelle in surprise, but she merely lowered her eyes and continued cutting her steak
âSo, youâre the future madam of the Fila family. No wonder youâre so arrogant!â Jalme said.
âArrogant? Thatâs the first time someone used that word to describe me.â Emelie put down her knife and fork, looking at jaime with neither arrogance nor humility.
the future. You can take
She extended her hand. âAfter SAM merges into the Filo Group, I will be the director. Mr. Torres, we will have many opportunities to meet and interact in the f your time to understand what kind of person Lam.â
After he stared at her hand for a few seconds, Jaime shook it
They had a pleasant meal and shared good conversations, wrapping up the meal by 3:30 pm.
Jaime walked straight to Williamâs hotel and rang the bell to his room. When Ashton opened the door, he saw Willum sitting on the sofa.
He entered the room and complained, âWhy didnât you come to the restaurant for lunch? I waited for you for quite a while.â
âWhy do I need to have lunch with the File Group? Did you think I came to Mercianna for sightseeingââ William didnât even turn to look at him.
It was only when Jaime got closer that he saw a document on the table in front of William. The title was enlarged and bolded, making it very visible.
It was a contract between the Xanther Group and the Aurora Group.
The Aurora Group was the largest energy company in Mercianna and one of the top companies in Faldoria, Jaime suddenly understood that William had met with this company that day.
âI knew it. Coming to Mercianna just for the acquisition of SAM seemed too trivial for you. So this was your real purpose,â Jaime said.
He continued, âWow, Xanther Group is developing really tast. Although you were formed just a few months ago, youâve already secured a partnership with the Aurora Group. At this rate, you might become publicly listed by the end of the year-â
William noticed Jaimeâs happy expression and interrupted his chatter. âSo, did you enjoy your meal?â
Jaime took a seat: âIt was quite good. I finally know the womanâs nameâMandy Pierce. It sounds gentle, quite contrary to her personality.â
Mandy Pierce, William repeated the name in his mind twice
He calmly asked, âYouâve only met her three times. How can you say you know her personality?â
Jaime stroked his white beard. âYou sound just like her. She also told me to take my time getting to know her. Fine, Iâll see if she really has the skis or if sheâs just arrogant because sheâs Cronusâ fiancéeâ
William had been staring at his tablet. When he heard the word âfiancéeâ in Faldorian, he didnât immediately react. However, after a moment, he jerked his head up to look at him.
His gaze darkened, like the night sky just before dawnâs first light
Hecoldly demanded, âWhat lanete are you talking about?â
