She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 635

Daphne Morrell stood at the entrance of the Eclipse Noir Club bright and early, waiting. Before long, she spotted Melanie Royce's car pulling up.

"What's wrong with my princess today?" Daphne teased. "Why the long face?"

Melanie walked up to her, casually draping an arm over Daphne's shoulder with a heavy sigh. "It's nothing... I just mishandled a situation with a male coworker. Going into the office is going to be incredibly awkward from now on."

The question silenced Melanie.
