Chapter 65 Revisiting Old Memories.

Emelie calmly asked, “So, how do you plan to handle her?”

Jeremy smirked coldly, replying, “That’s my affair. It’s got nothing to do with you.”

“Well, if your actions end up causing harm to her and result in criminal implications, then I become implicated, too. That becomes my problem,” Emelle retorted.

“I’m just trying to make things easier for you. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been stuck with this unpleasant task because Mr. Middleton favors her and is taking her side.

“Basically, her presence is hindering your progress. Hand her over to me, and I’ll take care of it. You’ll have one less competitor to deal with. Makes things easier, doesn’t it?”

Jeremy calmly broke down the situation. His tone was seductive, as if there were no downsides in his proposed plan.

Emelie thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “You’re right. She’s been a headache for me,

too.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “So, you agree?”

“Yeah, I’ll do it now.”

Emelie took out her phone, dialed a number, and after a short pause, she said, “Ms. Mitchell, it’s me. Mr. Ramsey wants me to lure you over.

“He’s got something daunting planned for you. We’re at the Sheldon Suites. Can you come over right away?”

Jeremy snatched her phone and glanced at the screen, only to see that she hadn’t actually made any calls.

He threw the phone back at her. “You’re trying to trick me!”

Emelie shot back, “It’s actually you who’s trying to trick me, Mr. Ramsey. You have a family and clearly had no harmful intentions. So why try to intimidate people for no reason?”

Jeremy was simply trying to let out some frustration after dealing with his siblings.

With things settling down, he didn’t feel like causing her any more trouble.

“Hand them over,” he said.

Emelie passed him the documents and a pen, and Jeremy signed them without hesitation.

As he gave the contract back to Emelie, something crossed his mind. He looked up at her.

“I heard you’ve been considering a job change lately. Are you really planning to leave Cloudex Corporation?”

Emelie replied, “It’s just a normal career move.”

“I find you quite interesting. You might want to give my company a shot. It may not be as big as Cloudex, but there’s a lot of room for growth.”

Jeremy reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card, offering it to her along with the

documents.

“Here’s my card, with my personal number. Feel free to contact me if you’re interested.”

Emelie accepted it politely. “Thank you, Mr. Ramsey.”

Jeremy left the hotel to go home, and Emelie was also getting ready to leave. But as she walked through the hotel lobby, she saw William.

Emelie paused for a moment, unsure of what to do.

William glanced at her indifferently, his lips forming the silent command, “Come here.”

Unable to pretend she hadn’t seen him, Emelie reluctantly walked over.

“Mr. Middleton, is there something you need?”

William led her directly to a hotel room, and Emelie immediately knew what he needed.

Once inside, William pushed Emelie onto the bed and held her chin, preventing her from avoiding his rough kisses.

Emelie gasped and pushed against his chest with all her might.

She scrambled to find something to defend herself with, but William quickly grabbed her and pressed her against the bed.

There was no way he would give her another chance to use the pepper spray against him.

“Mr. Middleton… William!”

William raised his head, his gaze darkly fixed on her. “Do you remember what day it is today?”

Emelie was clueless.

She clenched her teeth, remaining composed. “Let go of me. You’re forcing yourself on me!”

“Three years ago today, you started following me.”

Emelie’s mind momentarily blanked out, leaving her face pale.

As she pieced it together, it hit her slowly. It seemed like today…

Yes, it was today.

That was why that labor contract that was due in four days happened.

Three years back, just four days after she trailed after him, he nonchalantly remarked, “From now on, you’ll be by my side, serving as my secretary.”

She protested, pointing out her non–business background, but he was in a good mood.

“I’ll teach you.”

Emelie couldn’t help but tremble, feeling like she was experiencing their first time together three years. ago all over again.

Back then, she had been just as nervous, scared, and inexperienced.

“Mr. Middleton, you have quite a vivid memory,” she murmured softly.

“It’s hard not to. I’ve never seen you look so vulnerable, Ms. Hoven. It was me who found you in such a sorry state and brought you home,” William said, lifting her legs, his voice subdued and hoarse.

“How can revisiting old memories be considered forceful?”

Emelie did not reply.

The night was already shaping up to be a rough one.

Outside, a few muffled thunderclaps were heard, followed by the gentle patter of rain.

In the midst of the rainy night, it felt like they were transported back three years ago.

Emelie’s nails dug into William’s shoulders. Her breath was uneven, and her voice slightly shaky as she said, “This is the last time!”

Just four more days, their contract would expire, marking a full three years.

In a way, she would be repaying him the three million dollars from back then.
