Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 578

The James family office building

Just before the end of the workday, Rachel handed Emily some drawing materials and asked her to finish the incomplete architectural design project and check the data.

This task was originally given to Rachel by her supervisor, but Rachel had a date tonight, so she passed it on to Emily.

Emily worked overtime until past 8 o'clock before she finished. She stretched her waist and showed a relaxed expression. Just as she was about to pack up and go home, she heard someone approaching, a familiar, gentle voice with a smile, "I knew you'd be working late again!"

Emily looked up and smiled, "And you're working late too?"

"I just came back to get something, I saw your office lights still on." Charlie said with a light laugh, "Let's go, I'll give you a ride home."

"No need, I can take the subway by myself!" Emily said hurriedly.

"Come on, pack up quickly!" Charlie said.

Emily smiled, "I'll be right there!"

Neither of them had dinner yet, so Charlie took Emily to eat first. He chose a restaurant, which was clean and elegant.

During the meal, Charlie went to make a phone call, and Emily secretly paid the bill.

After Charlie came back, he found out that Emily had paid. The dishes at this restaurant weren't cheap. The meal cost nearly half of Emily's monthly salary. Charlie grabbed his wallet and tried to give her some cash.

Emily frowned, "Don't even think about it! You've always been helping me, and now you're even counting the cost of a meal I treated you to. Didn't you say you considered me a friend?"

Charlie smiled faintly, "So, can you afford next month's rent?"

"I've already paid for three months of rent, so it's enough!" Emily laughed, showing her dimples.
