Chapter 414

Meanwhile, after Louis chased Daphne down the stairs, he saw her strolling leisurely along the street.

Meanwhile, after Louis chased Daphne down the stairs, he saw her strolling leisurely along the street.

Seeing that, he quickly caught up with her and asked in a low voice, “Where’s your car?”

Hearing his voice, Daphne was startled and uttered after calming herself down, “I… My driver got caught up with some personal matters, so he went home early.”

“What about your assistant?”

“I have no more work today, so I let her go off early.”

After a moment of silence, Louis responded, “I see.”

As they walked, Daphne asked, “Are you returning to school? This doesn’t seem to be the right way.”

Louis hummed in response and offered, “Let me walk you back.”

Daphne probably didn’t expect him to say that, so she was taken aback for a moment before smiling. “I’m a grown-up. I don’t need you to see me off. So, go ahead now, or the school will be closed soon.”

“It’s still early,” he insisted. Daphne could tell he wasn’t going to leave her.

After pondering for a while, she uttered seriously, “I’m going to meet a friend. She lives near here and it’ll only be a short walk. You don’t have to—”

“I’ll take you to her place then.”

Hearing that, Daphne was speechless. She licked her lips, at a loss for words.

The two walked silently, and since they were in a business district, she couldn’t find a chance to make him leave at all. When they finally entered a neighborhood, she spoke, “My friend’s house is here. Thanks for sending me. Bye.”

Louis stopped and stood on the spot while nodding. “Go on in.”

Daphne chuckled dryly, bit the bullet, and entered the housing area.

The guard at the entrance of the neighborhood questioned her, “Where’s your access card?” Since she had been acting all the way, she couldn’t just give up. “I’m here to meet my friend.”

“Call her and tell her to come and fetch you. We don’t allow any visitors without an access card,” uttered the guard. Under his scrutinizing gaze, Daphne had no choice but to take out her phone from her bag slowly, but she hesitated for a long time to make the call, reluctant to turn around because she could sense that Louis was still standing outside.

Seeing her standing still, the security gradually grew suspicious. “What are you actually here for?”

“I…” Just as Daphne was caught in an embarrassing situation, a cold male voice sounded beside her, “Sorry, we got the wrong address.” After speaking, he pulled her away.
