Chapter 156 Commotion

Truth be told, Emelle truly admired Daphne. Despite their frequent clashes, Daphne always managed to act as if nothing had happened every time they met.

But it made sense. After all, without some tactics up her sleeve, Daphne wouldn’t be able to hold onto William.

“Ms. Hoven, what are you doing here?”

Although Emelie was the first to “greet” her, once Daphne entered, Emelie didn’t even glance at her. She just kept snacking away.

Daphne wasn’t quite sure what to make of Emelie’s standoffish demeanor, so she tried again.

“It’s almost closing time, and there’s hardly anyone around. Ms. Hoven, why are you here so late?”

Emelie stayed silent, so Daphne pressed on, “Are you working around here now? Which company?”

Daphne’s persistent questioning revealed her suspicion that Emelie might have ulterior motives, especially with Cloudex Corporation nearby. She feared Emelie might be there to see William.

Finally, Emelie finished her food and looked at Daphne directly. “You’re here for William, right? Why wait? You might get to see some live commotion.”

Daphne immediately asked, “What commotion?”

Once again, Emelie stayed silent. She drank from her bottle of water.
