Charlie raised an eyebrow, his gaze deepening as he casually asked, "She really said that?"
"Yes, I'm quite disappointed," Gavin replied.
The cloud over Charlie's face gradually lifted and a smile crept across his face. "Need a hand? I can get someone to score you a pretty one."
"Don't think I'm as thirsty as you. I appreciate Emily for her skills," Gavin said seriously.
"Whatever you appreciate her for, she won't work for you. And you'd better keep your distance!" Charlie warned sternly.
"Mr. James, tell me you're not actually falling for her?" Gavin asked in surprise.
Charlie being so protective of Emily was definitely suspicious.
"No way," Charlie denied firmly, "My thing with her is way more complicated than you think. So, stay out of it!"
"Alright, but considering how loyal she is to you, you should treat her better. Stop giving her a hard time, she's such a sweet girl!"
"Whether I treat her well or not, she knows!" Charlie sneered, "Get back to work, I'm hanging up!"
"By the way, Emily got her forehead busted," Gavin said.
Charlie frowned, "I'll deal with it!"
After hanging up, Charlie's anger subsided a bit. He realized he had been a bit harsh earlier. He initially wanted Emily to come over so he could check on her wound. But, remembering her tear-streaked face that night and her pleasant date with Martin yesterday, his anger flared up again.
Did she really know how good he had been to her?
Came to think of it, she clearly had no clue!
Charlie rubbed his forehead and decided to stop overthinking things. He was more likely to reprimand her than comfort her.
