Chapter 125
Nathan’s face darkened unconsciously
Shawn was silently observing his expression and understood the situation immediately.
When he saw that Emilia was about to walk away with the man if they didn’t initiate the question, Shawn immediately followed up and asked her casually for Nathan’s sake. “Ms. Saunders, what a coincidence! Where are you going so early?”
While Shawn was speaking, Nathan trailed behind him slowly. Emilia glanced at Nathan who was looking at his phone and smiled politely at Shawn. “Sorry, I have no comment on my personal schedule.”
Despite receiving a dejection, Shawn didn’t feel discouraged. “Many entrepreneurs have come to Acocester for the New Media Summit recently. Are you also here for this, Ms. Saunders?”
While he said that, they had already reached the elevator door. The elevator happened to be there.
Emilia entered the elevator first, turned her head to Shawn, and asked. back, “What do you think, Mr. Larson?”
Shawn couldn’t figure out Emilia’s intention from the muddled and unclear sentence. However, judging by Emilia’s response, it was clear she wasn’t going to reveal her schedule.
Shawn thought for a while and then stepped into the elevator. Nathan was the last one to enter the elevator.
He only looked at Felix for a second before he shifted his gaze away.
Shawn knew Nathan best. When he saw the latter’s terrifying expression, he realized something.
It seemed that Emilia’s activities weren’t the primary concern. Nathan’s focus was on the identity of the man accompanying her.
So Shawn changed the topic and looked at Emilia and Felix with a smile. “Sir, you look new. If I remember correctly, Ms. Saunders arrived here. alone yesterday, didn’t she?”
Just as Felix was about to speak, Emilia interrupted him.

She glanced at Nathan who wore a sullen expression and said to Shawn smodlingly, “He is my companion.”
Emilia’s use of ambiguous language only darkened Nathan’s expression further when he heard it.
Companion? What kind of companion?” he thought.
Nathan held back his desire to ask questions and clenched his fists tightly.
The atmosphere in the elevator was so frightening that Shawn didn’t dare. to ask any questions anymore. Then the elevator descended all the way, and they reached the hall on the first floor in silence.
As soon as Emilia walked out of the hotel, a middle–aged man emerged from a limited–edition Rolls–Royce Phantom parked at the entrance.
The man was dressed in a suit and white gloves. When he spotted Emilia, he respectfully greeted her.
“Ms. Saunders, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Benjamin Zeller, the head of the external affairs department of New Media Summit. I came here to pick you up.”
He smiled and made a gesture to invite Emilia to get into the car.
Not far away, Nathan stopped and looked at the middle–aged man with a frown.
“Who is he?”
Shawn quickly replied, “Boss, he’s from the organizer. I’ve seen his name. on the list of persons in charge sent by the organizer. I can’t believe he sent a car to pick up Ms. Saunders. They have a lot of respect for her!”
Shawn’s sincere admiration made Nathan frown even more tightly.
“What else did I not know about Emilia? It turns out she has a connection with the organizer too?” he thought.
But what he didn’t know was that Emilia was also befuddled by the situation.
Emilia frowned and looked at Benjamin, who claimed to be one of the persons in charge of the organizer. She was perplexed, but managed to maintain a composed demeanor. She offered a faint smile and extended. her hand to shake hands with Benjamin.
Nice to meet you.
limited–edition Phantom parked in front of the hotel attracted many people to stop and watch. Although some people who stayed at the hotel. were of prominent status, not everyone had the privilege of owning a limited–edition car.
Onlookers observed Emilia with a mix of curiosity and envy and engaged in spirited discussions among themselves.
“It appears she’s in her twenties. Why is a luxury car picking her up? Who is this woman?” someone inquired.
The person beside him replied in a low voice, “She’s so young. She’s either rich or…”
Because it was malicious speculation, the person lowered his voice deliberately for fear of being heard.
The other one retorted, “I don’t think so. Look at her valiant look. She must be a young and promising woman entrepreneur.”
Emilia heard all the comments, but she merely smiled and didn’t say anything.
Emilia wouldn’t care about a bit of malicious speculation. That was simply not in her nature.
As Emilia’s bodyguard and secretary, Felix was naturally responsible for her safety. He looked at Benjamin alertly and said to him, “Ms. Saunders. has her own private car, so she doesn’t need to be picked up.”
When he heard this, Benjamin said with a smile, “Ms. Saunders, your friend asked me to pick you up. Please oblige your friend, so I can inform your friend accordingly.”
When she heard this, Emilia was a little confused and couldn’t help but get curious.
She didn’t even know that she had a relationship with the organizer of this event.
“My friend? Who is it?” she mused.
