Chapter 155

Fusion Delights Café.

Not long after Kieran’s call, Julie got a call from Daphne. After hanging up with Kieran, Julie and Daphne agreed to meet at the nearby Fusion Delights Café.

Both Daphne and Julie were dressed similarly today, both wearing hats and sunglasses.

Julie thought it was reasonable for her to wear sunglasses. After all, yesterday’s press conference was so lively that she could easily be recognized when out and about.

But why was Daphne being so mysterious?

“What’s up? Have you switched from journalism to paparazzi? Who are you tailing?” Julie teased Daphne while chuckling.

Daphne sneakily showed her eyes, “I just don’t want to be recognized. You know, Mr. Lionel’s fans are already discussing me in their group chats. If I didn’t cover my face yesterday, you might have never seen me again!”

When Daphne mentioned this, Julie finally realized, “So the woman at the jewelry store yesterday was actually you?”

Daphne leaned over half the table and covered Julie’s mouth, “Keep it down!!”

After saying this, she finally let go of Julie, patted her chest, and took off her hat and sunglasses, “If even you couldn’t recognize me, I’m sure no one else could. That makes me feel relieved.”

“So, what’s the deal between you and Mr. Lionel?” Julie asked while sipping her coffee.

Daphne chuckled, “Haha, what if I told you I have no idea? Would you believe me?”

After a while, as if remembering something, Daphne turned to Julie and said, “By the way, he once said I resemble his ex-girlfriend. Could that be why?”

Julie thought for a moment and responded, “It’s possible. As the romance novels often say: ‘since I lost you, everyone I fell in love with was like you, but they weren’t you.’ Maybe Mr. Lionel really sees you as a replacement for his ex-girlfriend.”

Daphne nodded in agreement, “I think so too.”

She innocently picked up her coffee and took a sip, “Julie, what should I do?”

“Just reject him straight up, right? Clearly tell him that you are not his ex-girlfriend.”

Daphne thought about it and asked, “Is there a more efficient way?”

Julie nodded, “Get a boyfriend, and tell him that you already have a boyfriend.”

“Haha, stop kidding. I haven’t had a boyfriend for years. Besides, Mr. Lionel said that he likes stealing other people’s girlfriends!”

“You took him seriously? After all, he’s the amazing Mr. Lionel. Unless he really loves you, he wouldn’t go to such lengths to pursue you. Do you think he has that much time?” Julie said, laughing.

Daphne suddenly found this very reasonable, so she nodded seriously, then asked Julie, “Where should I find a boyfriend?”

“Didn’t your mom ask you to go on a blind date yesterday? You can give that a shot.” Julie replied.

Daphne thought this was a great idea!
