A vicious glint appeared in Yoda’s gaze.
This is no ordinary woman.
If I found out that she is behind Nicole’s illness, I’ll make sure she pays for her deed!
With that thought in mind, Yoda decided to investigate Daphne.
Meanwhile, Daphne was heading to Levant after what Portia told her. She wanted to try to ease her relationship with him and try playing hard to get.
She even prepared some of Levant’s favorite snacks and fruits.
Outside Levant’s room, she recalled what Nicole told her. Make him salivate at the sight of his favorite food but don’t feed him.
After mulling over it, she made sure she fully understood what those words meant before entering the room.
“Where is Levant?”
“He’s in his study.”
She arrived at the study with the maid. When she saw he was busy with work, her lips curled up in contentment.
Gently, she called out. “Levant.”
He froze slightly upon hearing her voice. However, he ignored her and resumed working.
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Previously, she would go to Levant and started chattering nonstop.
Levant would give her vague answers before sending her away.
This time, she decided to change her tactic. She was no longer arrogant. Instead, she reminded herself to “play hard to get” before taking the plate of snacks from the maid.
Going over to him, she offered lightly, “Levant, here are some of your favorite snacks. Try it.”
He didn’t even glance at her. Levant thought she’d grumble before leaving in a huff, but she stood rooted to the spot for over thirty minutes.
