She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1068

"What... what brings you here?" Daphne stammered, blocking the doorway.

Seeing that she wasn't inviting him in, Everett's anxiety flared again. "Can I... can I come inside to talk?"

Daphne blinked, suddenly realizing she was keeping him standing on the sidewalk like a delivery guy. "Oh! Yeah, of course. Sorry!" She stepped aside, holding the door open.

"It's fine," Everett murmured as he walked in.

The Eclipse Noir Club was eerily silent with the lights down and the music off. The vast, empty space made the tension between them feel even thicker. They stood awkwardly in the center of the room, neither knowing what to say.

"So... did you need something?" Daphne finally asked, ripping off the band-aid. She refused to act like a coward.

Seeing the defensive, almost resigned look in her eyes, Everett scratched the back of his neck in confusion. "It's nothing bad. It's just..."

He reached into his tailored slacks and pulled out a small, velvet-lined box.

Daphne's breath hitched.

It was a jewelry box. And not just any box—the distinct, undeniable shade of Tiffany blue. Her eyes widened as her mind raced.

Was he giving her Tiffany jewelry?
