Emily turned to look at him and smiled faintly, "I'm too busy with work and taking care of my child. I don't have that much time." "Your child is over two years old, right? Have you tried to contact her father since you've come back?" Wilson asked.

Emily's pregnancy was no secret. Betty knew about it, and of course, so did Wilson. Emily shook her head, "No, the child is solely mine. It's unrelated to anyone else." Wilson looked at her with admiration, "Emily, sometimes you really impress me."

Emily smiled, "The meeting's about to start, Mr. Walton. You should head back

"Alright!" Wilson knew Emily was cautious, so he didn't press further. "Betty's cafe is almost done with renovations. We should visit it together sometime" "Sounds good!" Emily nodded with a smile. Wilson left the room, and Emily waited a while before returning to the conference room.

The second half of the meeting involved the five companies submitting their proposals, awaiting the James Group review them for the next round of selection.

Gavin roughly reviewed the five proposals. When he saw the base price of Horizon Enterprises, his eyebrows furrowed. He turned to Charlie and said, "Mr James, please take a look at this."

Charlie took the proposals, his eyes narrowing as he glanced briefly at Emily. His face showed no emotion, but his gaze grew serious.

Gavin calmly had the five proposals sealed, announced the end of the meeting, and instructed the representatives of these five companies to await

further instructions.

The representatives stood up and respectfully say goodbye to Charlie.

As they walked through the corridor on their way out, Waters looked at the general manager of Iriver Group and joked, "Mr. Matz seems nervous, you're even sweating!"

Mr. Matz wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed awkwardly, "Just being in the same room with Mr. James makes me nervous."

"Honestly, I'm nervous too. After all, we've put a lot of effort into this bid," Waters said, then she turned to look at Wilson, "Mr. Walton seems quite relaxed Are you completely confident?"

After Waters finished speaking, people from other companies all turned to look at Wilson, and they were quite puzzled. Wilson appeared completely calm and had an air of self-assurance during the meeting.. Wilson smiled faintly, "Mr. Dalton is joking. Who can be completely confident in such matters? However, for this bid, we're just trying our best, unlike some of you who are determined to win. No strong desire to win, no pressure.

Mr. Matz from Iriver Group praised, "Mr. Walton, you've just taken over the company after you returning to the country, yet you possess such a broad-mindedness. It's truly admirable!"

"You flatter me, Mr. Matz." Wilson modestly replied.

Waters cast a subtle glance at Wilson. She walked away in her high heels with a faint curved smile.

They went back to the thirty-ninth floor and Emily handed over the meeting's records to Charlie. As she was about to leave, Gavin suddenly spoke up. "Emily, you've been getting too close with Wilson lately. Has he ever tried to probe you about the bid?"

Emily paused, then quickly realized what he meant. She frowned and asked, "Is there a problem with Horizon Enterprises' bid?"

"No, don't overthink it. I was just asking casually," Gavin said with a gentle smile.

Emily replied seriously, "My interactions with Wilson were strictly personal. We've never discussed anything related to the bid." Charlie looked up and gazed at her with a solemn expression, "You can leave for now"

Emily's eyes flickered, and she nodded before leaving the room.

Once Emily had left, Gavin turned to Charlie and asked, 'Could it be a coincidence?"

Charlie swiveled his chair to face the window. He propped his head up and said quietly, it's not that simple!
