All Chapters of Doted on by a Luring CEO: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

But since the man in front of him was a business partner, Jake didn't show his irritation too obviously and simply smiled while exchanging pleasantries.After managing to send the person away, he raised his eyes and noticed that Emily was no longer there.Jake scanned the auction venue but couldn't see her."Jake, what are you looking at?"Daniel walked over."Where is she? Where did she go?""She's sitting in the front. The auction is about to start, hurry up, let's go."With that, Daniel pulled Jake toward their seats.The auction began.Emily sat beside Liam.Luke, the main character of the day, wasn't sitting with them but was preparing for his opening speech.Liam leaned over and whispered, "Emily, tell me what you like, I'll buy it for you. Today's auction has more than just jewelry, there are many other things too."Emily shook her head.She didn't really want anything, she was just here to make up the numbers.Seeing this, Liam reached out and knocked on her foreh

Emily didn't like such occasions, so she found an excuse to go to the restroom.After coming out of the restroom, Emily was hesitating whether to send a message to Luke when a hand suddenly pulled her into the stairwell.Emily was startled, and upon seeing the man in front of her, she froze.It was Jake.What the hell did this madman want?Jake reeked of alcohol, clearly having drunk quite a bit.Emily felt uneasy under his unblinking gaze and couldn't help but feel a bit scared.She instinctively took two steps toward the nearby door.In the next second, Jake suddenly stepped closer, staring at her. "Are you with Liam?"Emily was taken aback.Jake misunderstood.But she didn't want to explain too much, thinking if he wanted to misunderstand, then let him. It didn't matter."It's none of your business who I'm with."Jake tugged at his tie in irritation, "I told you, I'm not used to you being gone. I miss you."Emily sneered. "So?"Jake got straight to the point. "Come ba

After saying that, Emily regretted it.What kind of relationship did she have with Luke?Whether or not he had a heavy smoking habit didn't seem to concern her much.Luke lowered his gaze and said lazily, "I plan to quit smoking."Emily nodded in response, "It's good to quit smoking, it's harmful to health."After that, there was silence between them.Luke suddenly said, "Aren't you going to ask me how I plan to quit smoking?"Emily, with a curious tilt of her head, looked at him. "Does quitting smoking need a plan?"Luke exhaled a puff of smoke and replied nonchalantly, "Of course, my habit is strong."Emily was rendered speechless.She fell silent for a moment and suggested, "If you can avoid smoking, it's better for your health."Luke curved his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Does it concern you?"When Luke said this, his brows lifted, and his tone carried a slight frivolity.Emily felt a little awkward and tightened and then loosened her hand tha

Emily hesitated for a moment, then picked up her cutlery, took a piece of cauliflower, and placed it in her mouth. She didn't chew, just bit into it.Luke noticed and said indifferently,"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it."Emily froze.Luke grabbed a napkin from the side and handed it to her. "Spit it out."Emily then realized what had happened. After a moment of hesitation, she said softly, "It's fine, it's just one piece."Saying that, she casually chewed a few times and swallowed it."Emily, you weren't like this before, have you forgotten?"Emily was slightly stunned.That was many years ago, and she had long forgotten most of it.Ever since her father's accident, and her mother's changed attitude towards her, Emily had started learning how to please everyone around her.And over the years, being around Jake, she had always carefully catered to his every preference. She had forgotten what she was like before.She didn't want to discuss this, so she replied c

"Luke, where have you been? Do you know that your parents, your aunt, and your eldest sister have all been calling me non-stop..."Luke leaned back in the chair, took out a cigarette, bit it, and lit it with a lighter, taking a light puff."I left early," he said, exhaling a puff of white smoke, speaking in a calm tone."You left? The banquet isn't over yet..."Luke interrupted him, "Taking the kid home."Liam paused for a moment, then instantly fell silent. "Oh, no wonder, go ahead, I'm hanging up."Emily returned to her dorm and immediately received a notice from the dorm manager, asking her to move out before the end of the week because the school was preparing to tidy up the dormitory building for the next batch of students.As soon as Emily returned to her dorm, she began packing her things.She had planned to take her time to find a new place to live, but now it seemed impossible.She packed around, but still couldn't find her wallet.She sat at the desk, starting to th
