Chapter 1552

“I asked you what the hell Waters said, and you didn’t spill the beans, it’s kind of pissing me off!”

Charlie gently bit her earlobe.

Every time he saw her being so serious, he couldn’t help but want to tease her. It was a temptation he

had been resisting for a long time!

Emily bit her lip. “She asked me if you have a girlfriend, how am I supposed to answer?”

Charlie paused, tilting his head slightly to look at her. “You don’t know how to answer? You don’t know

if I have a girlfriend?”

Emily leaned back, her bright eyes fixed on him. “Should I have told her that Mr. James’ girlfriend is

actually me? The very me you’re looking at night now?”

Charlie nodded seriously. “What’s wrong with that answer? Aren’t you always honest?”

Emily couldn’t hold back. “If I said that, she would dig into all my information and come up with a

hundred reasons why I’m not good enough for you!”

Charlie squinted at her “Emily, do you really care what others think? Do you have low self-esteem?”

Emily avoided his gaze, looking down. “I’m not insecure, I just don’t want to cause trouble for myself

and Kya!” novelbin

Charlie wanted to protect her and Kya too. He knew she was right, but it still made him feel uneasy. He

smiled slightly. “Why don’t you give it a shot? See if I can protect you and Kya?”

Emily replied, “I don’t want to put Kya at risk because of my own selfishness!”

Charlie pulled her into his arms, whispering. “So you still don’t trust me!”

Emily didn’t respond.

Neither of them seemed to want to continue the conversation. After a moment of silence, Charlie sat

her down on a chair, lightly massaging her waist. “Does it hurt?”

He might have been a little too rough earlier, causing her to hit her waist against the table. He felt a bit

regretful and sorry

Emily shook her head and got up from his arms. “The client is waiting for you, you should go now!

Charlie chuckled lightly. “I have a meeting tonight, if it gets too late, don’t wait up for me!”

Emily’s cheeks turned slightly red as she nodded. “I should get back to work!”

“Okay”

Charlie held her hand again, his gaze intense. “I won’t be able to sleep with Kya tonight. If she misses

me, call me Let me know when she’s asleep too.”

Emily mumbled an agreement, pulled away, and left

After work, Emily was about to take the subway home when a blue luxury car pulled up in front of her

Charlie’s driver, Kent, got out of the car, respectfully saying. “Ms. Sullivan, Mr. James asked me to drive

you home!”

Emily immediately refused, “No need, I can take the subway”

“It’s a task Mr. James gave me, thave to completed” Kent said it with a smile.

it was rush hour, and the building was crowded. If they talked for even a minute longer, they’d attract

attention. Emily reluctantly got in the car and left.

Kent drove Emily to her apartment building and then politely said goodbye.

Emily felt a bit embarrassed. After expressing her thanks, she went into the building

As soon as she walked in, Kya ran over and said, “Mom, you’re finally back!”

Ms. Simmons looked surprised to see Emily. “Why didn’t Mr. James come home with you today?”

Emily smiled “He has other plans tonight”

Ms. Simmons nodded. “Tve already bought the ingredients for dinner Kya said she wanted broccoli, so

I also bought some beef to make soup. If you find it inconvenient to cook, I can finish cooking before I

leave.”

“It’s fine, Kya isn’t in the way of me cooking. It’s getting late, you should go home!” Emily said it softly.

“Alright Ms. Simmons packed up her things, turned to Kya, and said goodbye, “Kya, see you?”
