Whether an interruption or a salvation, the deskphone did its job. Evelyn turned her eyes to it, before she looked back at Daemon, a hint of blame in her eyes, and pushed him further away.
Daemon adjusted his suit as he stood straight, before he pressed on the button to take the call.
"Speak."
"Mr Peak, this is Blandon. Should I bring coffee for Miss Softsnow and you?"
Daemon's face didn't change, but Evelyn looked at him with amusement.
What a good assistant her fiance had, one conscientious and very serious about his work.
Daemon gave Evelyn a blank look, and the latter immediately made a run for it. She leaned to the side and took her bag, then made a beeline for the door.
She would just follow her fiance who had a clearer view of the chessboard, and do what she was asked to. Since he had a greater plan, she would not think too much, and she would follow his lead.
