Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )
CHAPTER 97

Chapter 97 No Regrets

Emelie understood Samuel’s good intentions.

She considered him a friend and didn’t beat around the bush. “Don’t worry, Mr. Swanson, we haven’t engaged in any illegal transactions.

“I promised Mr. Bryan that if he could save me, I would work for the Swanson Corporation and sign a five- year labor contract with him.

“With my abilities, the return I can bring him within five years will not be less than that of the Maple Avenue Project.”

The Swanson Corporation also offered her an opportunity.

The two out–of–town companies Emelie had previously considered were Vertex Capital Holdings and Swanson Corporation.

However, after careful consideration, she found Vertex Capital Holdings more suitable for her, so she didn’t contact the Swanson Corporation.

Yesterday, she had no choice but to use herself as a bargaining chip and negotiate with Bryan.

After considering everything, Bryan agreed to her terms.

However, he added a condition: during her five years at the Swanson Corporation, she would only receive

a basic salary, without any bonuses or commissions.

People in business wouldn’t let themselves lose out.

William was the biggest winner in this deal, while Emelie suffered.

She wouldn’t tell Samuel about these hardships, only saying, “Being able to work for the Swanson Corporation is also my honor.”

Samuel nodded. “Then I can rest assured.”

Emelie’s meal also included a plate of fried calamari rolls. Samuel naturally extended his fork and took a

plece.

As he did so, he said, “Mine should be the vegetable rolls. Do you want to swap?”

It would be troublesome to keep exchanging dishes.

Since they were at the same table and it was easy to reach, Emelie shook her head. “No need, I can eat it

like this.”

To William, this scene looked like they were intimately sharing each other’s food.

The way Emelie was smiling. Was she prepared to embrace her new job?

Working for the Swanson Corporation wasn’t much different from working for Cloudex Corporation.

It could be considered a lateral move. However, it was also a good thing.

Unfortunately, William couldn’t bear to see someone else succeed.

William wiped his hands with a tissue and asked Patricia, “Have you finished eating, Ms. May? I’ll take you back when you’re done.”

“Go back where?” Patricia’s eyes flickered.

“Back to Mr. Swanson’s, of course.” William chuckled. “What? Just one night, and Ms. May wants to

abandon her master already?”

Patricia smiled mysteriously. “Well, Mr. Middleton, wasn’t last night’s experience enjoyable? Aren’t you considering keeping me?”

No one heard William’s response.

At noon, William had lunch with Bryan. The ship docked in the afternoon.

Emelie went to William’s room.

She had a room card but didn’t swipe it; instead, she pressed the doorbell.

William opened the door, wearing a tie around his neck.

He glanced at her indifferently and returned to the mirror to continue tying his tie.

Emelie placed the diamond necklace on the table and said, “I’m here to return the diamond necklace, Mr. Middleton.”

William ignored her and put on his suit jacket.

Emelie didn’t linger either; she packed her suitcase and was about to leave.

“Don’t regret it,” William said emotionlessly.

Emelie paused for a moment, then opened the door and left.

After leaving the room, Emelie realized she had been holding her breath just now.

She exhaled and thought she should thank Bryan and ask for his contact information for future communication regarding her new job.

To her surprise, Bryan seemed somewhat distant.

“Ms. Hoven was able to escape mainly due to her own efforts. I didn’t actually help much.

“It’s embarrassing to ask for Ms/Hoven’s five–year contract as a return.”

Emelie pondered for a moment. “So, Mr. Swanson is saying…”

“Swanson Corporation certainly welcomes talents like Ms. Hoven to join, but everything depends on your own willingness.”

This ambiguous statement was actually a rejection.

Emelie wouldn’t be blunt enough to insist. “I understand.”

Bryan added, “Sam wasn’t involved in the matters between us.”

“I won’t say much to Mr. Samuel,” Emelle replied.

Bryan nodded and walked past her, disembarking the ship.
