Chapter 314 Emily Disdains Me!
Chapter 314 Emily Disdains Me!
"Well, guys aren't completely off the table!"
Emily blurted out.
Only after speaking did she realize she was talking to Daniel!
It was really because Kaia had shared some books with her these past couple days. Although she wasn't very interested, she'd casually flipped through a couple chapters.
And now she had these kinds of ideas in her head.
She could only blame the author for writing it so well that even she started thinking that love between two men could actually be pretty nice.
"What?"
Daniel's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Emily with a hint of danger.
Emily immediately backtracked, "Nothing, I was just thinking about a novel Kaia told me about, I wasn't talking about you. Eat, eat!"
She quickly served Daniel some food.
Daniel put the food she'd given him in his mouth.
His lips were thin and moist, looking very kissable.
Emily couldn't help swallowing as she watched.
She quickly shook these shocking thoughts out of her head.
She blamed herself for reading those novels these past few days - her mind kept involuntarily coming up with the author's suggestive descriptions.
She had no idea that while Daniel appeared to be eating calmly, inside his heart was raging like a flood.
Daniel thought about how Emily had just assumed a male boss liked him.
How could she come up with such an idea?
Looks like he'd need to have Gilbert keep his sister in check. Emily had barely spent any time with her and was already nearly corrupted.
Kaia, who was being cursed by Daniel in his mind, suddenly felt her nose tingle and couldn't help sneezing.
Beside her, several followers immediately rushed over, "Kaia, you can't catch a cold and drop the ball at this critical moment. For this competition, we can't find anyone better to participate."
The speaker was one of her followers.
Actually also a rich kid from the same circle, Ollie.
He was the type other people's parents disliked most.
But in reality, aside from being a bit playful, he hadn't touched anything he shouldn't.
"I don't even want to deal with you guys anymore. What am I supposed to say about you? No skills but love to show off, and you make me suffer along with you."
Kaia was somewhat annoyed.
Ollie and the others lowered their heads guiltily.
Finally, Ollie mustered some courage, smiled and tried to make nice, even patting Kaia's back, "Kaia, you can't blame us for the last gaming competition. It was all that WarGod's fault - he provoked us. If we didn't accept the challenge, wouldn't that be like backing down? How could we show our faces after that, right?"
Kaia naturally understood, "I'll let that slide for now, but what about this time? Who agreed to the race, whose idea was it? I already told you, with your skill level, it's fine to mess around casually, but going to such an official competition - aren't you afraid of getting killed?"
She wasn't angry they'd acted on their own - she was worried about their safety.
Finally, another boy who looked thin and weak stepped forward, "Kaia, don't blame Ollie and them. It was me. My family's being chased for debts, and my mom's health isn't good. I wanted to win money in the competition. I heard the prize is five million dollars..."
Kaia frowned, "If you need money, tell us. Can't the few of us come up with enough..."
Upton hung his head silently.
This was pride getting in the way.
Kaia sighed softly. Upton used to be well-off, in the same circle as everyone else, but later went bankrupt. Still, nobody looked down on him and included him when hanging out.
He usually livestreamed gaming and could make some income from that.
"Fine, since you've already registered, I guess I'll have to do it. I'll see if I can find someone to help compete!"
Kaia actually had her eye on someone called SQ, who supposedly appeared at the Silverlight City racing track once, but then there was no trace of her after that.
She wanted to investigate but couldn't find anything.
Ollie suddenly had a wild idea and couldn't help speculating, "Kaia, yesterday during the competition, didn't you say it was a friend of yours? You said she was from Silverlight City. She's so good - is there any chance she knows SQ?"
Ollie often played games with Kaia, so naturally he knew some of Kaia's gaming habits and tactics. He'd seen at a glance that Emily's moves weren't Kaia's.
When he asked later, Kaia didn't hide it and told the truth.
That's why he asked this question.
Kaia was indeed someone who could hang out with Ollie and the others - they all had active imaginations.
Hearing Ollie's words, she actually started thinking seriously.
Kaia's eyes suddenly widened, her palms sweating with excitement.
No way, could it really be what she was thinking?
However, since this hadn't been verified yet, she didn't immediately share her thoughts with her followers.
"Kaia, what's wrong?"
Seeing Kaia suddenly stand up in excitement, Ollie quickly asked.
"Nothing, I need to verify my guess. You guys just wait for good news. If it's confirmed, I guarantee you'll get a huge surprise! When that happens, we'll definitely win the competition!"
Kaia hurried out.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she got.
Emily was so amazing.
She felt the possibility that she was SQ was very high!
Kaia got in the car and called Emily.
Daniel had just settled Emily down to sleep.
Her phone suddenly rang. Afraid the vibration would wake Emily, he quickly hung up Kaia's call.
However, his eyes also caught that the number was Kaia's.
Daniel's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Kaia couldn't get through and felt slightly disappointed.
"At this hour, could she still be sleeping, or taking an afternoon nap? Whatever, I'll just go to the hotel to find her. If Emily's resting, worst case I'll just wait."
Waiting for Emily would be sweet as honey.
Kaia immediately told the driver the hotel name and had him drive there.
But just after the driver turned the corner, she received a call from Gilbert.
"Where are you now?"
Gilbert's tone was emotionless.
Kaia's mind was on Emily right now, so she didn't notice anything wrong and said casually, "In the car, what's up Gilbert? Just tell me straight if something's wrong."
"Did you just bother Ms. Johnson again?"
Gilbert asked coldly.
Kaia's heart grew very nervous. How did Gilbert know?
Could it be Emily didn't like her calling? Wah, she'd finally found a big sister, and now she was already being disliked?
"Gilbert, did Emily say something? Does she hate me now? I didn't do anything much. I only called once today, and when she didn't answer, I didn't keep calling. I was very good!"
Kaia felt so wronged.
Gilbert was completely speechless.
He could tell Emily was broad-minded and generally wouldn't care about things unless someone provoked her.
But just because Emily didn't care didn't mean Daniel wouldn't.
Daniel was obviously very protective. Just now Daniel had called directly telling him not to let Kaia hang out with Emily, saying Kaia was corrupting her.
"It's not her, but don't think about going to find her either. Ms. Johnson is resting. Go home now!"
It was because Gilbert understood Kaia that he knew she was in a car heading to the hotel to find Emily right now.
