Chapter 209 Fond of Her
Jayden thought that if Samuel hadn't been a professor and a gentleman, and if he hadn't promptly retrieved a handkerchief from his suit pocket to wrap up the box of medicine and handed it to Samuel while gesturing for William to leave, a beal might have erupted between the two right in front of the hotel.
Once they were in the car, Jayden rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Why did you provoke him?
"Did i?" William responded, adjusting his sapphire cufflinks. He was clearly in a good mood
"You didn't? You were aware she's his girlfriend, yet you still asked him to deliver that to Ms. Hoven." Jayden paused, unable to complete his sentence.
Why was William acting so maliciously? After a moment of thought, Jayden asked, "Do you truly harbor such a strong dislike for her?"
Seated in the back of the SUV, William rested his elbow on the armrest, his face occasionally lit up by passing streetlights. "Dislike who?""
"Ms. Hoven," Jayden clarified William frowned, giving him a puzzled look.
Jayden pressed on. "Regardless of whether Samuel is her boyfriend, a friend, or someone she's interested in, your actions would undoubtedly cause Ms. Howen to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Treating her this way, isn't that a clear Indication of animosity toward her?
William's lips curved into a faint smile. "I don't hate her." In fact, be found himself quite "fond of her at the moment.
Emelie had just finished arranging her tasks for the next day and was about to check her phone for the delivery status of her medication when the doorbell chimed. When she opened the door, she found Samuel standing there.
"Mr. Swanson, what brings you here?" she inquired.
The hotel corridor was bathed warmly in orange light. Samuel stood before her in a beige sweater, his demeanor unusually gentle.

Emelie paused briefly, feeling a sudden peng of andety Samuel handed berthe yellow paper bag. She observed the outer packaging and, upon noticing that it was still intact, sighed in relief as she accepted it
"Thank you, Mr. Swanson.." she said. However, upon closer inspection, she realised the bag had been opened and hastly resealed.
Emelie bit her lip, meeting Samuel's gaze. She was certain he had seen the medication. Despite this, Samuel's demeanor remained gentle as he asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Yes, ordered room service," she replied.
"Alright. If there's nothing else, you should get some rest. We had in increase our workload today to meet the deadline, so you must be exhausted," he said.
"You should get some rest, too," Emelie replied, her emotions in disarray.
Samuel nodded with a smile and turned to walk back to his room
