Chapter 18 Ms. Hoven Is In Hot Demand
The news of Emelie contacting several companies in a short time quickly spread throughout the circle. This was brought up during William’s weekend outing with his friends on the horse riding trails.
Troy Spencei asked bluntly, “For real? Can Will really bear to part with Ms. Hoven?”
“Of course it’s real. My human resources department manager even contacted her. I’m just not sure why she declined our work offer–whether it was because we didn’t meet her career expectations or because I
know Will.” Elias Undvike said.
He then shot William a look as if blaming the latter for preventing him from gaining a valuable employee.
William was dressed in a black riding habit while sitting atop a white horse. He appeared significantly more aloof and absorbed in his own thoughts than usual. Despite his friends discussing Emelie, William seemed to treat her as though she were a stranger.
But William’s friends concluded that William seemed to have always felt this way about Emelie. Thought
she’d been the only woman by his side all these years, William never treated her as anything special.
In the past, William’s friends had discussed behind his back what Emelie was to William. They were not involved romantically, as William never referred to Emelie as his girlfriend. Besides, labeling Emelie his lover or mistress wasn’t it, given he’d never spent much money on her.
Those in their circle were prone to giving lavish gifts to the women they slept with, such as houses, cars, or, at the very least, designer bags. William had been the one who gave Daphne the Hermès bag she
carried around.
In the end, it was Elias, who’d grown up with William, who defined William’s relationship with Emelie.
William was a man with needs, so he naturally needed women to fulfill said needs. He didn’t want to waste his time with a relationship, so he went with Emelie instead.
In other words, while Emelie was constantly in turmoil over this relationship with William, the latter didn’t
really think too much of it.
As for Daphne, not even William’s friends understood what was so special about her, not to mention Emelie herself. The truth about what happened at the hospital the other day had come out. As it turned out, Daphne had framed Emelie, yet William still kept Daphne by his side.
William’s friends really didn’t understand why he was so biased toward Daphne.
Jayden Gleamfield smiled. “It’s definitely not because you know William. Ms. Hoven knew I was friends
Troy immediately said, “I’ll have my HR manager contact her too. Whoever gets to employ Ms. Hoven will benefit a lot. I’ve long set my eyes on her!”
“Not only that,” Jayden continued. “But Ms. Hoven seemed to have injured her leg. She didn’t refuse when Feyd helped her out of the car. They seemed quite close. Last night, Feyd even shared on his social
Troy and Elias exchanged a silent glance before both casting a quick glance at William–no words were
necessary for them to grasp the implied meaning.
The horse trails were long and far. The men rode their horses several rounds before leaving near midday.
William tailed behind his friends, seeming unhappy. Jayden pulled his horse’s reins so that it matched William’s pace.
“Will,” Jayden called, making William turn to look at him.
Like his surname, Jayden was a glowing picture of grace and elegance. In fact, everyone in his family was
known for such characteristics.
The Gleamfield family’s gemstone mines had undergone an accident a couple of years back, causing their cash flow to come to a stop. It was Cloudex Corporation who came to their aid and also how Jayden befriended William. They had been good friends since and would often speak from their hearts to
one another.
Jayden said, “Ms. Hoven has worked for you for three years. She’s nev
