My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1050

“Come on, spill it,” Elizabeth said, leaning closer. “The less you say, the more I know something’s going on. You know that just makes me even more curious. And when I’m curious, you know I won’t let up.”

Emily let out a long sigh. She gave in, quickly summarizing what had happened over the past two nights.

Elizabeth’s eyes went wide. “No way. Andrew really went for it, huh? Not a single warning, just jumps right to giving you a ring.”

Emily picked up another stack of paperwork, barely looking up. “Now you know. You can go. Stop hanging around and making a fuss.”

Elizabeth didn’t budge. She rested her chin in her hand, watching Emily. “So he still hasn’t taken the ring back, and now he’s got a fever?”

Emily glanced at her. “What about it?”

Elizabeth’s gaze turned sharp. “He’s totally playing the sympathy card.”

Emily kept her eyes on the document in front of her, face calm. She didn’t say a word.

Elizabeth chuckled, shaking her head. “Well, Tristan has nothing to worry about. You’re like a rock with Andrew. He could bring out fireworks and you’d still be unmoved.”

Emily’s voice was even. “If you’re reassured, then please go.”

Elizabeth grabbed her files, hummed a little tune, and finally left.

That night, Emily had a dinner meeting with Juliet Thomas from Vanguard Automotive.

The moment she arrived, a waiter showed her through the restaurant and led her to a private room. When the door opened, Emily realized that besides the Vanguard team, Andrew Lane was there too.

He looked pale, which only made his eyes seem darker and more intense.

Emily walked in, her expression steady. Juliet stood to greet her with a warm smile. “Ms. Blair, it’s been too long.”

Emily smiled back and took her seat. “It has, Ms. Thomas. You look even more beautiful than last time.”
