Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264 

Emily plopped down at her desk, shook off her mood, and returned to the day’s work. 

All morning, Charlie James only handed out tasks to Tracy, even stuff that was usually Emily’s turf. 

The business proposal Emily had spent ages preparing for Frank? That went to Tracy too. 

Around noon, Tracy came out of the boss’s office, buzzing with excitement. She sauntered over to Emily and announced, “I’ve got a negotiation meeting with Mr. James over lunch, Might be back a bit late. Have all the documents prepped, will you?” 

There was a smug glint in Tracy’s eyes as if she was making it clear to Emily that she still valued the most 

She dumped all the other trivial tasks on Emily and focused on prepping for the meeting with Frank 

Emily didn’t kick up a fuss. She just took on Tracy’s work instead 

Before twelve, Tracy dressed up beautifully and left with Charlie 

By the time Emily finished her tasks, it was almost one. She headed to the staff cafeteria on the twelfth floor for a bite and then back to her desk to work. 

Tracy didn’t come back until almost three b’clock in the afternoon. She handed over some work to Angie from the finance department, and then they both chatted on the sofa. 

Angie gushed. “Mr. James is treating you like a queen these days. He only took you to such an important meeting with Frank.” 

Tracy responded with a smile, T’ve been at Mr. James’s side for years. reckon that’s worth something?” 

She shot Emily a look and added, “Some people think they can get favour with Mr. James by cooking him a few meals and playing nice. It’s laughablet Mr. James has seen his fair share of women. He’s not going to fall for such cheap tricks.” 

Upon hearing this, Angie giggled, “Of course, Mr. James values work competence more!” 

After half an hour of chitchat, Angie left, and Tracy returned to her desk. As she passed Emily’s desk, she said coolly, “From now on, let me handle Mr. James. You just do your job and keep out of Mr James’s office.” 

Emily kept her cool, T’ll do what I need to do. You don’t need to remind me 

Tracy scoffed, “As long as you get it: 

She paused, then turned back to add, “I don’t mean you any harm. You’ve been quite impressive since you joined. I’m keeping you away from Mr. James for your sake. Don’t mistake his kindness for liking you. Many young and pretty assistants have made that mistake before, and they all got canned!” 

She continued, her voice icy. Tm not fighting you because I like Mr. James. I’m not that stupid, and I hope you’re not. Even if Mr. James is a lady’s man, hed only fancy someone like Waters, who’s beautiful and from a good family. As for you, just do your job, keep your head down, and you might actually stay here longer 

Emily kept her poker face, “Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll keep that in mind.”
