Chapter 44: Poor girl
Robert responded with a cold smile, presenting his business card. "I am the CEO of Davis Group. Please, Mr. King, show some respect and don’t make things difficult for my friend."
Boss King’s expression changed drastically. Although Davis Group wasn’t the largest company, it was a significant player in S City.
As a small café owner, how could he compete with someone like Robert?
"Oh, so she is a friend of Mr. Davis. My apologies for my rudeness," Boss King said, forcing a smile. He had been planning to take advantage of his female employee, only to be interrupted.
"No problem, as long as you understand, Mr. King," Robert replied, though he found Boss King repulsive. As a businessman, he knew not to burn bridges entirely.
Boss King quickly released Emily from his grasp. "Mr. Davis, I’ll treat you to dinner sometime. I must take my leave now!"
Boss King could clearly see Robert’s interest in Emily, so he hurried off without another word. Robert didn’t stop him.
Emily wiped the tears from her face. "Thank you, Mr. Davis!"
"You’re welcome. If you don’t like working here, you can come to me. I’ll find you a job," Robert said, handing her his business card.
Emily took it, still looking a bit flustered, and thanked him repeatedly. Robert’s heart pounded as he looked at her distressed face, a sweet sensation blossoming within him.
It felt like young love, where just seeing the person or hearing their voice made his heart race, and everything revolved around them.
