Chapter 260xotic Beauty

The two people on the boat instinctively looked toward the source of the voice. They saw a man

The man was the one who had spoken

and a woman leaning against a window by the river.

Emelie's fiestreaction was to exclaim, "What a coincidence it's charles Davis."

Charles wasn't from Capebatt Cry and was from Calmcrest. He had come to Capebat city specifically to attend a banquet hosted by the Graham family. She hadn't expected to run into him here at Riverstone Bistro.

The young women beside him was unfamiliar to Emelle. Even from a distance, her striking features were evident. She was truly a beauty.

Seizing the opportunity to avoid a potentially contentious topic, Emelie said, "Mr. Middleton, It's Mr. Davis,"

"I saw," Willars replied. He glanced at her, temporarily setting aside her eller defiance He instructed the boatman to dock

Charles and the young women stepped away from the window.

As their boat docked, the other two let the bistro,

Charles was in a suit, and his companion was in a long dress.

Emelie's sharp eyes were right

The woman was indeed beautiful with an exotic touch to her features, she resembled a member of a minority group

Emelie didn't stare. She took a glance before following William.

"I was just opening the window to enjoy the view and then I saw you, Mr. Middleton," Charles said with a smile, "Is the boat ride fun? You'd even found it interesting enough to try

IL

"The young lady wasn't allowed to ride on boats when she was a child. She could only watch and envy others. So, I took her out for a ride to fulfill her childhood dream."

Emilie was speechless and bewildered Was he talking about her?

"Young lady"" was only slightly less nauseating than "sweetle when coming from William's mouth.

Both Charles and the woman tumed their gazes toward Emelle

A strange glint flashed across the woman's eyes. On the other hand, Charles found lie somewhat familier. After a moment, he remembered and asked, "You're Mr. Maldleton's secretary, right?"" He recalled the poker incident and looked at her from head to toe. He then smirked with interest. "Mr. Middleton, you treat your subordinates quite well you even fulfilled her wishes." Emele ignored Charles words and focused only on herself

In cam, William asked, "And you, Mr. Davis? Why didn't you tell me that you'd be in Capebatt? I could have extended my hospitality to you."

"This trip isn't for business. It's the weekend, so I've brought my cousin, who has recently returned from Lablos, here for a bit of fun." Charles Introduced the young woman, "This is my cousin, Elena Allen. She studied and worked in Lablos before being reassigned here." William glanced at her.

Elena gently pressed her lips together and nodded in greeting "Mr. Middleton"

William's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, then he nodded and turned back to Charles.

Elena's brows twitched slightly. She seemed both but and hesitant to speak.

Emelie observed and discreetly took note of the scene.

Charles asked, "Mr. Middleton, have you eaten yet?"

"The food should be on the table, but we haven't started."

"We've just arrived and haven't ordered yet. How about we join you, and you can add a few more dishes?" Charles suggested shamelessly

William didn't refuse and instead said, "Of course!

Back in the private room, the manager promptly had the food served and personally opened a bottle of Romance-Conti for them. Charles ordered a few more dishes and then turned to William with a playful suggestion.

"Mr Middleton, ce you're so free, how about joining us at Lakeside Villa this weekend?"

Willam raised an eyebrow. "Who else is coming?

"Mr. Swanson. We met abroad, and I treated him to a meal. He said he'd rear the favor once he was back home, so I decided to have him cover the villa expenses this time" Charles leaned back in his chair. He tapped a cigarette out of its pack.

William's smile widmed as the picked up his lemon tea-he had driven himself, so no alcohol for him.

"I wouldn't miss an opportunity to let Mr. Swanson foot the bill."

charles laughed heartily and clinked his glass with William's. "It's settled then!”

Wildrank his lemon tea and set the cup down. Emelle, while pouring lemon tea for herself, refilled his cup as well.

Charles watched, a bit curious. The last time they were on the bost, the atmosphere between these two was tense.

He wondered how he had become so obedient and docile in just a few months.

Emelie finished pouring the lemon tea and continued eating quietly. Suddenly, Charles asked, "your surname Hoven or Sanders?"

Emelie looked up. Charles looked at her.

She swallowed before answering, "Hoven."

Charles nodded with a smile. "Ms. Hoven, pass me the lighter."

The lighter was on the cabinet. Emelie hesitated for a moment. She got up to fetch it and handed it to him.

Charles heldacigarette and nodded toward Emelle, indicating. "Light it for me."

Emelie was puzzled. She instinctively pressed the ignition button. With a snap, a flame emerged.

He leaned in directly, the cigarette butt touching the flame, igniting it instantly.

ITH

Emelie blinked slightly in surprise as charles leaned back casually in his chair, the cigarette hanging from his lips. He smirked and said, "I finally got you to light one for me."
