Winning Her Heart Back

Suspension 

Emelle paused momentarily before replying, “It’s okay. We can reschedule next time.” 

Thinking nothing of it at first, Emelie watered the mint plant by the window. The mint emitted a faint, cool fragrance. 

Suddenly, she had an idea and picked up her phone again, sending another message to Vivian. 

“By the way, Vivian, should I just go directly to Vertex Capital Holdings to handle the onboarding process on Monday?” 

Half an hour passed, but Vivian didn’t reply. 

As she inhaled the refreshing scent of mint, Emelie’s mood sank. 

By noon, Emelie hadn’t left, and Mona became curious. 

“Aren’t you supposed to have lunch with the HR from Vertex Capital Holdings? Why haven’t you left?” 

Emelie took out her phone, but Vivian still had not responded. 

She checked Vivian’s social media and saw a photo of delicious food posted without a location tag, but she noticed the restaurant’s sign in the corner of the image.. 

She enlarged the image and confirmed it was a restaurant in Capebatt City. 

Wasn’t Vivian supposed to rush back to Coastalburg? 

Emelie calmly liked the post. 

Within three minutes, the post disappeared, either deleted or set to private. 

Emelie didn’t bother to dwell on it, but the fact that Vivian still hadn’t responded to her messages made her understand the situation. 

“She has other plans.” 

Mona asked again, “Oh… are you starting your new job on Monday?” 

Emelie set her phone down and repeated, ‘She has other plans, so I probably don’t need to go.” 

Mona was stunned. “Huh? Why?” 

Emelie pursed her lips. 

She had figured out why Bryan suddenly turned her down and why Vivian stood her up. 

Someone must have intervened to prevent them from hiring her. And the only person with the capability and motive to do so was William. 

William had reasons to do this, whether it was out of revenge for her “affair” with Samuel during the contract period or simply because he didn’t want her to have an easy time. 

Despite her strong abilities, she was ultimately just an employee, not as significant as Cloudex Corporation and William in the eyes of the companies. 

Swanson Corporation and Vertex Capital Holdings might not be afraid of him, but they saw no reas upset William for her sake. 

Emelie had anticipated her new job wouldn’t be smooth sailing, so she remained calm despite this interference. 

On the other hand, Mona couldn’t stay calm. 

She was about to explode.

“Damn that bastard! What a scumbag! Why does he think he can do whatever he wants? It’s infuriating! 

“He didn’t compensate you for your miscarriage injury, and that’s bad enough! He cheated first, didn’t apologize, and that’s bad enough! 

“Why does he have to sabotage you when your contract expires, when you’re just trying to leave and find a new job? Why does he have the right?” 

Emelie calmly replied, “Because he’s William.” 

Mona clenched her teeth. “Aren’t you angry? He’s blocking your way!”

“Since I can’t find a job right now, I’ll just take some time off.” Emelie initially felt that her body was in poor condition and wanted an opportunity to recuperate. 

“I’m not in a hurry to work. I’ll just find another job. 

“William, powerful as he may be, can’t possibly control every company and prevent them from hiring me, right? With my skills, are you still worried that I won’t find a good job?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You can find a job, but can an ordinary company compare to a company like Vertex Capital Holdings? 

“It’s li

te you were originally qualified for a top–tier university, but because of a jerk, you ended up in a low- ranking college. 

Your whole life has been altered, you know!” 

Emelie momentarily fell silent before saying, “It’s not serious.” 

But later, when she tried to contact the companies that had previously shown interest in her, they all 

vaguely turned her down. 

It was indeed that serious. 

But what else could she do but keep her mindset calm now that things had reached this point? 

Emelie decided to temporarily put aside thoughts of work. “I want to go home.”

Mona was puzzled. “Go back home? To your parents‘ house? After the way they treated you back then, why would you go back?” 

Suspension 

Emelie lowered her gaze. “It’s been three years. I just want to take a look.” 

Emelie had been feeling uneasy since William mentioned her mother that day. She thought it would be 

better to see for herself, 

She went to the mall to buy some nutritional supplements to bring back home the following day. 

Coincidentally, she bumped into Vanessa.
