Winning Her Heart Back

Playing Hard to Get

Emelle silently finished her lunch and decided to stay away from Troy, moving forward. Otherwise, she would just end up running into William.

When Troy sitered to drive her back after lunch, Emelie did not refuse.

She added Troy’s social media account and scrolled through his posts until she found the one Daphne

had mentioned earlier.

How could Troy have posted their picture on there with those captions? It was so misleading!

When Troy arrived at Emelle’s neighborhood, she asked, “Can you delete that post in your social media profile, Mr. Spencer?”

Troy asked, “Why?”

“It’s inappropriate. People might misunderstand.”

“Really? I think it’s no big deal.”

Emelie insisted, “I still think it’s better if you delete it.”

Troy clicked his tongue and pulled out his phone. “Fine, fine. I’ll delete it if you want me to.”

“Thank you, Mr. Spencer.”

Troy then set his phone down and asked excitedly, “Why don’t we have dinner tomorrow night?”

Emelie unbuckled her seat belt and said, “I’ve given your job offer some thought, Mr. Spencer, and I’ve

decided not to accept it. It’s not compatible with me.”

“How is it not compatible? I think it very much is! Plus, you promised me you’d consider it last night. Why are you changing your tune now?” Troy exclaim

“I didn’t change my tune. I did seriously think about your offer, and have concluded that I’m not fit for the job. I hope you find someone else who is better suited fo you again for the offer.”

Troy drove off right away, clearly displeased.

Emelie hadn’t actually considered working for Troy. She’d only agreed to have lunch with him to avoid offending him.

Emelie had wavered last night when Troy helped her, yet the moment she saw his social media post,

she’d immediately reaffirmed her stance.

Emelie was worried she might land herself in trouble by working for Troy.

Now that Emelie had stopped working with William, all she wanted was a stable job with no more unnecessary drama.

Haying Hard to Get

After dropping Daphne back at the office, William brought another secretary along with him to meet a crucial client. Given the significance of the meeting

Jayden, who was also involved in the collaboration, received a call from Troy before the meeting. Troy asked if he wanted to go out for a drink together.

Jayden refused right away. “I can’t. I’m busy. What’s gotten into you to be drinking at this hour, by the way?

Troy wailed, “Why do all of you have work? I’ve tried searching for so many people already!”

Since the client had yet to arrive, Jayden asked curiously, “What happened?”

“Ms. Hoven rejected me!”

“What’s so alarming about that? Didn’t you see it coming already? Alright. I must go now. Bye.” Jayden put his phone away and entered the conference r

William asked lightly, “Who rejected who?”

“Troy got rejected by Ms. Hoven. She’s not going to work for him either.”

William chuckled before flipping open his documents. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jayden understood his expression. After all, William had believed from the start that Emelie wouldn’t quit her job and was just throwing a tantrum to get h

Not only was Emelie not keeping her act up, but she had even rejected Troy outright.

Emelie believed she had made herself clear, thinking Troy must have understood her after he left angrily.

Who knew Troy would contact her two days later to invite her to his birthday party?

Without hesitation, Emilie said, “Apologies, Mr. Spencer, but you know my leg is still injured, and I can’t move around freely. I can send you a birthday pre

“Just come! I don’t need you to do anything other than stay by my side. I’ll get you whatever you need throughout the evening!” Troy insisted.

That would only exacerbate the misunderstanding regarding their relationship.

Emelie didn’t understand why Troy was so persistent about her. They’d never cross paths before.

Troy added, “Do you think a thank you and lunch were enough to repay me for helping you the other night? I’ll call it even if you come to my birthday par

That was why Emelie was apprehensive about owing people favors; they were always difficult to repay.

Emelie sighed quietly. “What kind of party is it? A gathering between friends or…”

“Of course not. I’ll be hosting it at my place, and there will be a lot of guests. I won’t lie to you. I’m only
