Winning Her Heart Back

A Dress

Troy was now CEO of his family’s company, and his father saw his birthday party as an opportunity to introduce him to his business partners.

Troy had his share of women he could choose from to accompany him to the party, most of whom were models or influencers. But given how different th won, he needed Emelle by his side In order to not make a fool of himself.

Everyone knew Emelie was Cloudex Corporation’s head secretary, after all. She was the most

professional person Troy knew.

Emelie gave it some thought before saying helplessly, “Okny. Once I join your birthday party, we’re even,

right?”

“Yup!”

The instant Emelie agreed to attend Troy’s party, he immediately shared it with all his friends who were drinking with him.

“Ms. Hoven has agreed to come tomorrow night!”

Jayden was surprised. “Didn’t she reject you already?”

“Women always love playing hard to get. I’ll have someone send her a gown tomorrow and make sure she’s dressed up pretty before joining my party!” T

Jayden observed his friend. “You’re going the extra mile for her, huh?”

“Of course I am!” Troy then looked at William, who was sitting in the corner. “Why are you so quiet there,

Will?“.

William looked up coldly and wordlessly took a sip of his wine.

Elias gestured for Troy not to bother William. “He’s been asked to go back home for dinner. Why else do you think he’d be here?”

Even Troy understood what was going on then.

William tended to be in a bad mood whenever he needed to return home to face his parents. That was

why he’d come and join them for drinks. He wouldn’t have spent the effort to do so otherwise.

William had always had a tense felationship with his family. It’d gotten slightly better in the past due to Emelie playing mediator. But now that she wasn’t

William got up after having a drink, not planning to linger longer. He patted Elias‘ shoulder and waved at Jayden before leaving.

Jayden raised his glass. I heard Will’s family has been urging him to marry and have children.”

Elias grinned. “Is his father trying to plant his hopes on a grandson, given he’s lost it in Will?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Jayden shrugged. He didn’t know what William’s father had in mind, but he was certain William would

never agree.

Troy, on the other hand, said, “Marry? I’d go right ahead if it were mer

Emelie received the dress Troy sent her the next day.

It was a velvet purple spaghetti–strap dress with a deep neckline, exuding a sensual allure. It wasn’t the kind of dress Emelie would usually wear.

Though Emelie was attractive, she wasn’t the kind to show off herself too much. She often preferred dressing modestly.

But Emelie still put it on in the end. She didn’t want to go against Troy’s wish, given she would be his companion for the night. If Troy’s outfit matched he

Troy was the star that night, and he would be busy. So, when he offered to pick Emelie up, she refused. Emelie said she’d go over herself, to which Troy didn’t rebut.

Emelie changed into the dress and put on some makeup. After putting on a coat around her shoulders, she got a taxi to the Spencer residence.

She took off her coat upon arriving and handed it to the server. She would retrieve it before she left later.

Emelie texted Troy, telling him she’d arrived at the door. Troy then said he was coming right out.

So Emelie waited.

Just then, a car drove over. Emelie took a step back to not block its way.

The moment the car window rolled down, Daphne’s demure–looking face came into view.

“Hi, Ms. Hoven!” Daphne cooed.

She was naturally here with William. He was seated beside her when he glanced out the window and

spotted Emelie.

William’s eyes swept along her body before finally landing on the pale skin of her breasts.

Emelie was voluptuous and slender at the same time. She was truly a marvel to look at, just like Troy said.

William’s gaze darkened.

After being with him for three years, Emelie had learned to identify what his gazes meant.

For example, William was dying to take her right now.
