She gave a small, knowing smile, and returned to her work, waiting for the time to clock off.
At the desk to hers, Tracy was looking at her computer. The corner of her eyes swept towards Emily as she subtly reached for her phone.
At noon, Wilson came to pick up Emily for lunch. They went to a nearby restaurant.
As they were ordering their food, Wilson spotted a familiar face entering the restaurant. He stood up and greeted, "Mr. James!"
Emily's heart skipped a beat. Charlie had repeatedly warned her not to get too close to Wilson, and yet here they were, running into him by chance.
But considering that there was no longer any relationship between her and Charlie, Emily's nerves settled a bit, and she turned to look at Charlie.
Charlie's gaze swept over Emily indifferently, and then he turned to Wilson with a faint smirk on his lips. "Mr. Walton!"
Wilson smiled and said. "Mr. James, are you here for lunch? Why not join us?"
"No, thanks. I have a client meeting." Charlie replied in a calm and distant tone. " And considering the upcoming bid, I'd prefer Mr. Walton and my personal assistant not getting too close, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Wilson smiled faintly as he explained, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. James. Emily and I were classmates from the start. This meeting is purely personal and unrelated to work."
Charlie nodded briefly. "Enjoy your lunch," he said before making his way to the second floor.
Once Charlie was out of sight, Wilson turned to Emily with a grin. "Seems you're quite afraid of Charlie?"
Emily's eyes were clear as she replied, "Not afraid, just highly respectful of him."
Wilson nodded, asking, "Would you like to have some wine?"
"No, thanks. I have to return to work in the afternoon." Emily replied with a warm smile.."So, what did you want to see me for?"
