I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 411

Chapter 411

At the hotel's entrance, Zoe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw Daniel exit the car before he was followed by Elijah. What on earth is going on?

Elijah met her gaze and greeted her with a grin, "Hi, Zoe."

She forced a smile and waved at him. "Um! Daniel, can you accompany me to get something?"

He nodded, turned to Elijah, and said, "You should go up first."

"Sure."

As soon as Elijah left, Zoe pulled Daniel aside and demanded, "What are you doing?"

"What?" He was perplexed by her unexpected question.

"What exactly have you said? Why did you ask Elijah to come?"

"I was with him when you called, and you told me to invite my friend to Miss McKinney's birthday banquet. So, I invited him." Then, he continued, "Aren't you guys his friends?"

She gritted her teeth and emphasized, "Of course we are! Perhaps you should have given this some consideration. You knew Elijah had pursued Nana in the past, and President Pearson would be present at this banquet. Don't you think it'll make things awkward later?"

Zoe's words caught Daniel off guard. "You didn't tell me President Pearson would also be coming."

She was at a complete loss for words and found it challenging to convey her point to him.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "It's nothing to worry about. Anyway, it's all in the past. Besides, isn't Miss McKinney currently in a relationship with President Pearson? Moreover, Elijah has moved on."

She drew a deep breath and sighed, "Never mind. You won't get it even if I explain it to you."

At that moment, Zoe pulled out her phone and was about to text Leanna alerting her to a potentially awkward situation, when a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her. Suddenly, Aidan appeared in her line of sight. She quickly hid the phone behind her back; perhaps her guilty conscience prompted her to act in such a manner. Then, he cast a cursory look in her direction. Did he notice her odd behavior earlier?

Concurrently, Leanna exited the car from the other side. Although Zoe made a valiant effort to wink at her, she failed to catch on and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

After a while, Leanna tentatively inquired, "W-What's wrong?"

Aidan averted his gaze from Zoe and then blocked Leanna's path, claiming, "Her eyes are hurt."

Leanna rubbed her neck as she attempted to sort out her confusion. As a result, Zoe had no choice but to accept whatever path life had in store for them.

Meanwhile, the awkward atmosphere pervaded the room upstairs as well.

Daphne had a nearby job that day, so she headed straight to the hotel upon finishing work and was the first to arrive. Shortly after she sat down and pulled out her phone to text Zoe, the door to the private room opened. Then, Louis entered the room. Instantaneously, the entire room fell into a hushed, eerie silence.

She was six years older than him, and while his words had hurt her at that time, she had long since forgotten about them. Then, she decided to break the silence. "Did you come here right after school?"

He pursed his lips and lightly nodded his head.

Daphne continued, "I just got here, too. It may take some time for your sister to arrive."

"Okay." After providing a cursory response, Louis remained silent and did not say anything else.

Nonetheless, she was pretty exhausted and did not bother to come up with anything to talk to him about, so she left him be. She picked up the glass and was about to reach out and grab the pitcher so she could pour some water when a bony hand reached across her, grabbed the pitcher, and poured water into her glass instead.

Daphne was stunned for a second before she said, "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Afterward, Louis sat beside her.

Suddenly, she began to feel uncomfortable. She had never anticipated that he would sit next to her and assumed he would maintain some physical distance from her. As she tried to think of a way out, a subdued male voice emanated beside her. "I'm sorry for what happened last time."

She bit her lower lip and responded, "Last time? I have entirely forgotten about it."

"You didn't forget."

His response left Daphne bewildered.

"You wouldn't respond in such a snappy manner at mentioning what happened between us back then," Louis replied.

She was left speechless as she huffed angrily, "Louis, are you trying to trick me by asking me that question?"

When she mentioned his name, Louis could not help but frown. After an awkward pause, he said, "I'm here to offer you my sincere apologies."

"Okay. You've been forgiven," Daphne answered.

When he heard that, he pursed his lips and was about to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.

She picked up the glass, drank from it, and said, "Have you told your sister about that matter?"

"About what?"

"Regarding your contract with Jellyfish Entertainment."

"Not yet," Louis responded in a low voice.
