"Don't you know it's illegal to assault someone, Mr. Ramsey? You should be lucky she chose to side with us. Otherwise, you'd be convicted for setting up sples in someone else's company.

In the end, he angrily signed the contract. He even threatened Cindy before he left, clearly going to get his revenge against her someday.

As they waited outside the restaurant, Emelie's colleagues shot her a look as if asking her whether William was sleeping with Cindy.
Emelie merely made a shushing gesture.
Her colleagues shook their heads, not understanding how William could have liked Cindy.
"So, are you not quitting anymore, Emelie?" "Of course I am. If I were to linger around after submitting my resignation, I would beca target for my boss. It's office rules, after all," Emelie said half-jokingly. "I'll be leaving for good next week after passing on the torch." a The expected 30 to 40-minute wait turned out to be a mere five minutes. Cindy and William cout of the room together.
They didn't appear to have done anything. Emelie didn't pry and opened the car door instead. William's expression was cold. When he walked past Emelie, he shot her a look. "Not bad." He was likely praising her for turning the tables on Cindy.
Emelie remained silent.
Cindy quickly fo William got into the backseat, and calling out sweetly, "Mr. Middleton!" Emelie shut the car door and got into another car.

"What would you liketo do, Mr. Middleton? William's gaze was flat. "What do you think of Cindy?" Emelie wasn't sure what it was that he wanted to hear, so she said vaguely, "Apologies, Mr. Middleton, but I've just returned to work after my leave, so I'm not too familiar with the new secretary's work performance."

William scoffed and leaned back in his chair. "Do you think I should keep her around then?” "I think you can make the decision yourself, Mr. Middleton...' "Answer the question," William snapped.
Emelle paused briefly before saying, “I don't think doing so would be a good idea." William looked curious. His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Oh?"
Emelie explained, "Cindy isn't as simple as she seems. Though she hasn't worked for Mr. Ramsey long. she was still able to team so many of his secrets.

After hearing Emelie's reasoning, William responded slowly, "I didn't know you were someone to burn. bridges so quickly, Ms. Hoven." Emelie could tell he was mocking her, so she flatly retorted, “You taughtwell, Mr. Middleton." William's gaze grew cold in an instant, something which Emelie ignored.
One of the duties of a secretary was to watch out for their employer's loose ends. Since William wanted to hear Emelie's opinion on the matter, she'd give him a professional and objective analysis.
What did he have to be displeased about?
After sthought, Emelie added, "If you only want to keep Cindy around because she's similar to Daphnen Bowen, Mr Middleton, then why don't you hire someone else with such a similar air? Someone with a clean slate who can give you an ease of mind." William stared at Emelie for several seconds before he replied, "You make a good point, Ms. Hoven. Since you knowso well, 111 leave the secretary recruitment matter to you. Emelie looked surprised.
