Chapter 5 Dejavu
- "I do not dare, I am simply stating the truth."
- "Do you not dare?"
- Mark Samuel mouth curved slightly into a grin.The woman standing before him displayed such arrogance that he couldn't fathom what she was afraid of.
- However, this only made the situation more intriguing for him.
- Observing the corner of Mark mouth curling into a grin, Emilia's heart trembled, simultaneously sensing a cold breeze blowing from behind.
- Is he pretending to be excited?
- But witnessing Mark's demeanor, she couldn't help herself.
- Emilia composed herself, gazed at Mark, and stated, "If there is nothing else, I will proceed with my work!" After uttering those words, she didn't wait for Mark's responses and promptly departed.
- "Wait!"
- At that moment, Mark's voice emanated from behind.
- Consequently, Emilia's footsteps halted.
- Upon stopping, Emilia felt a tinge of annoyance. Why should she wait? She should simply leave.
- However, for reasons unknown, her legs refused to move an inch.
- In that moment, Mark rose from his chair, appearing tall and slender as he slowly approached her.
- Although Emilia maintained a calm facade, anger surged within her.
- She had imagined their reunion countless times, but never anticipated it to unfold like this, with his expression as if he didn't recognize himself.
- Amidst Emilia's careless thoughts, Mark had already reached her, towering over her with a height exceeding 1.8 meters. Emilia suddenly felt suffocated under the weight of his presence.
- Mark gazed at her, squinting slightly, and gradually inclined his body.
- His sudden movement startled Emilia, causing her to step back. However, she couldn't retreat any further, her entire body pressed against the wall. Seizing this opportunity, Mark placed his hands on the wall, encircling her within his embrace.
- His actions and posture were undeniably seductive.
- "What do you want from me?" Emilia inquired, her gaze fixed upon him. She had hoped to remain composed, but in Mark's presence, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness.
- Even after two years of separation, he remained unchanged.
- As debauched as ever, as seductive as ever.
- Observing the woman before him stuttering, Mark's mouth curled into a satisfied smile. "What do you believe I desire to do to you?"
- Emilia remained silent, aware that engaging in conversation with him would only entangle her further.
- Emilia maintained her silence and scrutinized him. "President Mark, standing in such close proximity may lead to misunderstandings."
- It appeared she was a shrewd woman.
- She knew how to employ tactics to conceal her own embarrassment.
- Mark disregarded her comment and instead looked up, fixating his gaze upon her beautiful, fair face. A sense of familiarity washed over him.
- "Emilia..." Mark furrowed his brows, softly uttering her name, his eyes locked onto hers, as if he could recall something.
- Emilia stared back at him, her heart pounding so intensely that breathing became difficult. She feared he would recognize her.
- And then, the next sentence he uttered caught Emilia completely off guard.
- "Why do I sense such familiarity? Have we met before?"
- This statement left Emilia stunned, rendering her speechless.
- However, upon seeing Mark Samuel, as if on the verge of remembering something, Emilia felt her heart race uncontrollably!
- "Mark chuckled, you have just returned from London, how could I possibly know you?" Emilia looked at Mark with a calm smile.
- Emilia didn't give him another opportunity to speak and stated, "President Mark, if there is nothing else, I must leave as I still have work to attend to!" Emilia turned around and exited the room promptly.
- As she reached the door, Emilia disappeared quietly, moving with a slight haste.
- And Mark, still leaning against the wall with one arm, observed Emilia silhouette, a mischievous smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
- Now, there are still women as captivating as her!
- Quite intriguing.
- Meanwhile, Emilia hurriedly made her way to a secluded spot after leaving the president's office.
- She stood there, taking a deep breath, and placed her hand on her rapidly beating heart.
- Recalling Mark Samuel's words from earlier, her heart refused to calm down.
- Does he truly not remember?
- Or is he doing it on purpose?
- Emilia was uncertain, her thoughts in disarray.
- Never did she expect to encounter him on the second day of returning home from abroad. What a regrettable situation to be working at his company!
- In this moment, Dudu's words echoed in her mind. If Mark discovers that you lied to him, can you imagine what he will do?
- He said, you would suffer a miserable fate!
- At that time, she didn't sense any danger, but now she couldn't help but feel a hint of it!
- Why is this happening!
- However, considering Mark demeanor, it was likely that he truly couldn't recognize her. Otherwise, how could he calmly utter a few teasing remarks?
- Given his nature, he was surely seeking any opportunity to play a prank!
- Upon further reflection, regardless of whether Mark recognized her or not, or if it was intentional, she couldn't stay here. Once Mark realizes the truth, her fate would undoubtedly be tragic.
- Considering the events of today, if she continues to oppose him, he will surely terminate her employment!
- Instead of facing termination, it would be better to resign!
- With this in mind, Emilia made up her mind and began writing her resignation letter.
- The most unfortunate thing in the world is resigning from a job within a day!
- However, it would undoubtedly be troublesome in the future. She had to leave immediately.
- Remembering this, Emilia took a deep breath and turned back towards the design department.
- At that moment, Emilia's cellphone rang. Seeing that Dudu was calling, Emilia answered without hesitation.
- "Hello!"
- "Emilia, how is the work environment?" Dudu inquired over the phone.
- "Take a guess!"
- "It must be good!" Dudu guessed.
- Emilia took a deep breath and replied, "Dudu, do you know who my supervisor is?"
- "Who?!"
- "Mark Samuel!" Emilia whispered the name, cautious not to be overheard by others.
- She didn't want anyone else to be aware of her issues with Mark. It had to remain a secret!
- Dudu was taken aback. "That can't be true, can it?"
- "Yes, just now, I informed him!"
