Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1519

Having held her tongue until now, Nina finally snapped. Although bodyguard rules strictly forbade interrupting when the boss was speaking, they were absolutely allowed to fight to the death if someone disrespected their boss! The young girl glared furiously at Mercedes. "Ms. Mercedes, don't push your luck! We have dedicated maids and servants here. Why should Mrs. Nelson serve you?!"

Mercedes didn't even spare Nina a glance, keeping her smiling eyes locked on Emmy. Seeing that Emmy remained unfazed, Mercedes leisurely admired her manicured nails while drawling, "My, what a pity. The insider information I have goes far beyond what I just shared. But if I don't get to eat a delicious apple peeled by Ms. Lincoln's own hands right this second... my throat might just get too dry to say another word."

Emmy lowered her eyes to the apple on the table. After a few seconds, she let out a soft laugh. "Then take your time eating, Ms. Mercedes. We can talk whenever you've had enough." With that, she stood up and decisively headed for the stairs without a hint of hesitation!

This time, it was Mercedes's turn to be stunned. She bolted upright, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Stop right there! Don't you want to know how James is doing?!"

Emmy paused mid step. How could she not want to know? She was practically going out of her mind with worry. She wished she could sprout wings and fly to that coast to see him with her own eyes! But she merely turned her head slightly, offering Mercedes an icy profile. "If you're not sincerely willing to tell me, why should I stand here listening to your nonsense? For me, knowing that he is safe right now is entirely enough." Without another word, she resumed her walk up the stairs.

Sitting on the sofa, Mercedes was absolutely exasperated. All she wanted was for Emmy to bow her head and peel a damn apple! Was that really more humiliating than forcing herself to pander to a rugged forty year old man in bed?! She had trampled on her last shred of dignity just to climb the ladder, so why did Emmy get to remain so lofty and untouchable?! Mercedes's chest heaved with anger, but Calony's warning was still echoing in her ears. Given the current situation, clinging to Emmy's coattails was the only way she could secure her footing in the capitalist world. The mere thought of that scene on the cruise ship, with Emmy surrounded by top tier billionaires treating her like royalty, forced Mercedes to swallow her pride.

Seeing Emmy's coat about to disappear around the corner of the stairs, Mercedes finally couldn't hold back and sprang up from the sofa. "Fine, I won't eat it! I'll tell you everything! Just get back here!!!"
