She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1154

Daphne smiled and politely declined, though Sam standing beside her couldn't help but look deeply disappointed on her behalf.

"With your skill level and athleticism, it's an absolute tragedy that you aren't playing professionally."

Hearing that, she offered a bittersweet smile.

"But I have my own business to run!"

"Oh? What kind of business?"

Sam asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Well..."

She faltered, suddenly hesitant.

Her VIP nightlife lounge wasn't an illicit establishment by any means, but the name always sounded a bit scandalous to outsiders.

Standing in front of her ultimate idol, she wanted to maintain some semblance of a pristine image.

"It's... just a high-end party lounge, really!"

"That's incredible! I had no idea you were already a boss at your age."

Sam looked thoroughly impressed.

"No, no, you're making it sound way more glamorous than it is!"

She waved her hands frantically, her cheeks flushed scarlet under his praise.

"By the way, Daphne, where are you based?"

The sudden question caught her slightly off guard.

"I... I live in Averin right now..."

"Are you serious?"

He grabbed her hand again, leaving her blinking in absolute confusion.

She didn't understand why he was getting so worked up over the fact that she lived in Averin.

"I literally just signed a transfer deal. My new team is based in Averin."

"Oh... wow, that's a crazy coincidence!"

Daphne felt like she had hit the jackpot, actually living in the same city as her idol now.

But she still didn't understand why he was reacting with such intense enthusiasm.

If anyone should be losing their mind, it was her, right?

Staring into his fiery, eager eyes, Daphne felt entirely overwhelmed, her heart hammering against her ribs.

She wanted to pull her hand out of his grip.
