"Yes, I really want to know too, why do I still have to come and ask you." He murmured, his reason clearly telling him what the facts were and who was lying, yet the vague feeling in his heart felt like it was still unwilling to give up, still seeking an answer.
His lips approached her again, she struggled desperately, and the sound of footsteps came to her ears, making her even more anxious. If she and Daniel Harris were seen , it would be impossible to explain.
She didn’t know where her strength came from, but she suddenly pushed him away and ran off in a panic.
Daniel Harris staggered backwards several steps before he managed to steady himself. His palm felt empty, devoid of the warmth it once held, and the voices of others reached his ears.
"Director Harris, why are you standing here?"
"It’s nothing." He shook his head, his drunkenness sobering up a bit. His toe kicked something, and he looked down to find a phone.
This phone... He bent down and picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground. He remembered it was Mabel Quinn’s phone.
He rarely remembered other people’s belongings, but he remembered what Mabel Quinn’s phone looked like. Why did he care so much about that woman? He cared so much... that even he couldn’t explain it.
And when Daniel Harris re-entered the banquet hall, Grace Yowell slowly walked out from the shadow of a distant corner. Her eyes were filled with jealousy, reluctance, anger, and resentment.
Why, even though Daniel believed her words, he couldn’t let go of Mabel Quinn? Daniel... was still being attracted to Mabel Quinn, even though in his knowledge, Mabel Quinn wasn’t the little girl who accompanied him back then, he was still attracted...
It was almost like... a cycle of fate.
No, even if there really is a cycle of fate, she must break this cycle!
When Mabel Quinn returned to the banquet hall, her breath was a bit unstable.
Lilith leaned over and said, "Mabel, why do you look a little pale?"
"Ah!" Mabel Quinn was startled and casually found an excuse, "Maybe it’s because I’m a bit tired."
"Yeah, today’s end-of-shooting party has been quite long," Lilith said. "Why don’t you go back and rest well?"
Mabel Quinn nodded, got up, and said goodbye to the editor-in-chief, then left the banquet hall from one side. It wasn’t until she got into a taxi that she took a long breath.
Everything tonight felt out of control, Daniel Harris’ actions... thankfully, no one seemed to have seen, otherwise, it would really become messy.
Mabel Quinn shook her head vigorously, telling herself not to think about it anymore, just pretend nothing happened, after all, Daniel Harris was drunk at the time, maybe he himself didn’t know what he was doing.
On the other side, when Daniel Harris returned to the banquet hall with the phone, Mabel Quinn had already left.
Grace Yowell walked to Daniel Harris’ side, "Daniel, if you’re tired, how about I accompany you back to the Harris Estate?" As she spoke, she gently nestled into his chest, using a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tonight, I want to stay at the Harris Estate." Her words were full of suggestion.
Daniel Harris looked steadily at the person in his arms, and after a moment, he gently patted her shoulder, "Tonight, I want to be alone."
