Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )

Chapter 45 Betrayal

What did William mean by that?

Emelie glanced in the rearview mirror while she drove. “Is Cindy Mitchell a spy for Mr. Ramsey?”

William’s eyes were half–shut out of exhaustion as he hadn’t slept well last night. It made him look cold and distant.

“Sending someone to spy on us isn’t the most classy move. Still, Cindy is a really good honeypot,” William mused.

Cindy did check all his boxes.

Emelie guessed that Jeremy must’ve found out that William had gotten into an argument with his father because of Daphne, hence why Jeremy sent Cindy to William. Cindy was incredibly similar to Daphne.

William had taken a liking to Cindy and was willing to concede to things for her, showing how infatuated with her he was.

Emelie’s lips quirked up. She’d do as her employer said, regardless.

She then responded, “I’ll do my best.”

William glanced at her and closed his eyes without another word,

When they arrived at the meeting location, another secretary from the secretariat had led another team of employees there. Cindy was amongst them, head low and silent.

She seemed anxious. She must’ve realized she’d been found out as a spy.

Since they’d need to get straight to the point during a negotiation, Emelie slowed down to walk beside Cindy..

Emelie asked directly, “What did Mr. Ramsey offer you?”

Cindy glanced at her, panicked, before quickly looking down.

Emelie continued, “Mr. Middleton knows you had been sent to spy on him by Mr. Ramsey. But Mr. Middleton is interested in keeping you, so he’s happy to pay you double whatever Mr. Ramsey offered for

you to switch sides.”

Cindy gazed incredulously at Emelje.

William was interested in her?

How could that be?

Though Cindy had only been around William for a couple of days, she’d done all she could to seduce him, yet he never reacted to her. Cindy wouldn’t have resorted to something as lowly as getting William drunk and taking advantage of him in bed otherwise.

Nonetheless, Emelie was saying William was interested in her. Did his method of becoming interested

differ from that of typical Individuals?

William was naturally leagues better than Jeremy was, status–wise. Just being by William’s side could guarantee Cindy far more benefits than working for Jeremy, regardless of whether William was interested

in her.

In all cases, even if Cindy couldn’t get paid, It’d be a win for her if she could sleep with a man as hot as

William

Cindy had been at a really close distance to William last night when she helped him walk. She had sensed the strong masculine air coming off of him. Sleeping with him would be one of the greatest experiences she ever had!

Cindy might be small in stature, but her appetites were voracious. Excited, her face flushed as she told Emelie what Jeremy had promised to pay her.

Emelie nodded and quickly reached an understanding with Cindy before returning to William’s side.

The negotiation was still about the contractual terms. Both parties remained at a stalemate even after dishing out their arguments.

Emelie then shot Cindy a look.

Cindy understood and went to sit by Jeremy’s side.

She topped up his drink for him as she said, “One needs to be understanding when doing business, Mr. Ramsey. True success can only be achieved when both parties are in a win–win situation. Aren’t you concerned, given that the contract hasn’t been signed even after so long?”

Jeremy said confidently, “I’m in no hurry. I’m happy to bide my time with Mr. Middleton as long as he pleases.”

William sipped his drink in silence.

Cindy smiled. “Even if you’re in no hurry, I’m sure your investors are, right? How long more could you possibly drag this out?”

Jeremy’s expression shifted in an instant. “You… What nonsense is this?”

“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Mr. Ramsey. But Mr. Middleton isn’t a patient man. He might decide to

work with someone else should you continue dragging this out. For example, with your brother… “Cindy continued.

Jeremy stood up suddenly and slapped Cindy right on the cheek. “How dare you betray me, you bitch!”
