Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )

Chapter 60 Attracting a Lot More Attention

Emelie happened to be at the doorway to the pantry and overheard the conversation. She halted in her

steps.

Melanie quickly replied to Cindy, “Don’t try to sow discord between us. Even if there’s something between Will and Emelie, I’ll compete with Emelie fairly.

you.

“If you also like Will, you can compete with me fairly, too. I’m confident that I’m not inferior to any of you In the end, Will will definitely be with me.”

Hearing that, Emelie turned and walked away.

Melanie was indeed a good person, but Cindy was not.

She failed to use Emelie to her advantage, so she resorted to sowing discord between her and Melanie.

She’d better not do anything, or Emelie wouldn’t be kind to her either.

After work in the evening. Emelie saw Samuel in the lobby. After some thought, she greeted, “Mr. Swanson.”

“Ms. Hoven.” Samuel stood up from the couch.

Emelie took a guess and asked, “Are you here to pick up Ms. Swanson? When I was coming down, I saw her talking with another colleague. She should be coming down soon.”

Samuel nodded, then said, “I know everything that happened to her at the mall today. I haven’t had a chance to thank you for helping her.”

“What I did hardly counts a

helping. It was just a small effort. And even if I wasn’t there, Ms. Swanson

Samuel’s gaze, through his glasses, looked very gentle.

“But the fact now is that you did help her.”

Emelie smiled. “Okay, Mr. Swanson. I’ll accept your gratitude.”

“Just gratitude isn’t enough. Let me treat you to dinner.”

Emelie hurriedly declined. “Really, there’s no need.”

Samuel joked in a serious tone, “I’ll feel uncomfortable all over if I don’t treat you to dinner.”

It was i

just a meal, after all. Repeatedly refusing seemed inappropriate, so Emelie finally agreed. “I’ll accept your kind offer, then.”

Not long after, Melanie came downstairs and enthusiastically offered to treat Emelie to dinner to repay her for saving her life today.

Since Emelie had already agreed to Samuel’s invitation, she nodded in agreement to Melanie as well.

But she didn’t expect that Samuel would take them to eat at the same mall where today’s incident occurred.

Melanie resisted and didn’t want to go in. “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Samuel, who had a good temper, was unusually firm at this moment and didn’t give in to her..

“You’re always like this. Every time you encounter difficulties, your first reaction is to run away, never considering overcoming them.

“Think about it yourself. Is running away of any use? Do you want to live with this trauma forever?”

After much mental preparation, Melanie finally mustered the courage to walk in.

Seeing her take a step forward, Samuel showed a relieved smile. During dinner, he personally peeled shrimp for her, rewarding her for her courage.

Next to him, Melanie held his arm and talked about today’s events, looking aggrieved. In fact, she was playing cute.

Emelie watched and couldn’t help feeling envious.

This was what a girl who grew up in a loving environment looked like.

Melanie said she wanted to learn to be brave like her, but there was no need for that.

Melanie had someone protecting her and someone who was willing to indulge her, turning her into a pampered little princess. But Emelie had no one to protect her.

Dependent? Who could she depend on?

Her back was empty.

After dinner, Samuel drove Emelie back to her apartment.

Mona happened to be taking out the trash downstairs at the same time.

When she saw Emelie waving goodbye to a bespectacled handsome guy, she became extremely excited.

After Samuel left, she immediately went up to ask, “Who was that?”

“Just a friend.”

“I’ve never seen this friend of yours.”

Emelie knew what she was thinking. “I helped his sister today, so he invited me to dinner. His sister was there, too.”

Mona analyzed, “The so–called sister may just be his shield to get close to you.”

“Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Mona clicked her tongue. “I really think you’re attracting a lot more attention from men since you left William

“That scumbag was bad luck, wasting three years of your youth without even compensating you for it.”

What she was most unhappy about was that William still had Emelle go to work when it was her last few days with the company.

Damned capitalist.

As Mona cursed, she became worried. “He won’t… stop you from leaving, right?”

Emelie walked back to the apartment with her. A hint of worry flashed through her mind.

But after some thought, she replied, “All things considered, he has no reason to keep me nor any legal basis to do so. I’m sure I can leave.”
