Chapter 1587
“Well, ain’t this a coincidence! You’re here too?” Gavin asked, chuckling.
“I’m here for a class reunion!” Emily replied with a pleasant smile.
“Mr. James is here too, why not pop over and say hi?’ Gavin suggested.
Emily bit her lip, and the smile faded a bit on her face, “Nah, I wouldn’t wanna bother Mr. James.”
“He doesn’t mind at all. He was just talking about you!” Gavin grabbed her arm without waiting for a response and
headed towards a private room, “Something about some tech issues with your partner company. TechNova.”
Emily frowned. She was planning to discuss this with Charlie the next morning, but it seemed he already knew
Without a word, she followed Gavin to meet Charlie.

before him, and a cigarette was hanging off his lips.
“Mr. James, guess who I brought!” Gavin joked..
Charlie looked up and was momentarily surprised to see Emily.
“Mr. James, Emily greeted formally.
Charlie didn’t respond, simply put out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Emily heard the door close behind her and turned to find Gavin was gone, leaving her alone with Charlie.
Her heart pounded as Gavin had urged her to come closer. Could it really be about work?
“What are you standing around for? Come over here!” Charlie called out.
The dim lighting in the room cast dark shadows on his handsome face.
Emily approached. Stopping a meter away from him, she said casually, “I noticed some issues with TechNova’s tech
data when I was off work. I was planning to tell you tomorrow morning, but I can pull up the data now if you need
it.”
As she spoke, she was about to log into her email on her phone.
“No rush!” Charlie responded casually
Emily bit her lip. She had been tricked by Gavin. Charlie hadn’t wanted to discuss TechNova, and probably hadn’t
even mentioned her.
“If there’s nothing else, I won’t intrude any longer, Mr. James,” Emily murmured,
Charlie stared at Emily with a cold smile, “Where are you off to? Keeping Wilson company?”
He stood and approached Emily, his towering figure looming over her, an intimidating presence, “You’re my

Emily paled instantly and replied, “Wilson and I are classmates. We’re just having a reunion. Work wasn’t involved.”
“Didn’t I tell you to keep your distance from him outside of work?” Charlie’s tone was calm but his aura icy.
Emily involuntarily stepped back, “This is off-hours. You have no right to dictate who I interact with!”
“No right, huh?” Charlie reached out to caress Emily’s cheek, his fingers cold as ice, “Is that why you wanted to
break up? Because you found Wilson? Is he superior to me?”
Emily didn’t explain, she let him speculate
“Speak up” Charlie’s fingers pressed against her lips, his eyes cold, “In what way is he better than me? He gives you
a bouquet of flowers and you’re all
les Are the things I gave you worth less than a bouquet of flowers?”
Emily’s face was ghostly white She turned her head, trying to escape his touch.
Seeing her reaction, Charlie felt a surge of anger He reached up to grasp her face again, “Take off your clothes. I
need you now!”
