Chapter 26
Now Enjoy;
“Hello” Daphne said to the crowd but got no response.
“Guess they are dumb like the bosses on seat ” she scoffed. Gasps could be heard from different angles. She rolled her eyes and faced Emerson. Trinity stood up from her seat and rushed to her side.
“When did you wake up ?” She asked as she made an attempt to touch her.
“And who are you asking questions from me ?” Daphne asked coldly.
“Oh! My bad” Trinity giggled with a wide smile on her lips.
“Does she think I’m joking ?” Daphne thought and awaited her response.
“I’m your roommate and my name is Trinity. More like I looked after you when you were bedridden” Trinity replied and Daphne next move shocked her.
“Thanks for being there. Thought you were one of those bitchy girls” Daphne said in between the hug.
“No I’m not. Just I’m a bad bitch with a classic lifestyle, personality and moral” Trinity said in her ears.
“Love that. That’s my new identity” she whispered back and disengaged from the hug. She turned around and her gaze went to Maison.
“Should I come up ?” She asked Maison with a smile on her lips.
“Let me come down and meet you, this place is for bosses,” Maison said and groaned before standing up. Everyone was watching the two who they consider as couple’s.
Olivia was shocked that Daphne didn’t look at her side but she waved it after having negative thoughts about her attitude.
“Aren’t you appointed to sit there ?” Daphne asked innocently.
“No, it’s for Lucas. I’m not a member but a brother here. It’s not compulsory I become a member and I’m not becoming one” Maison replied as he got down from the podium. Daphne supports him as he gets down gently.
Emerson lost the train of his thoughts that moment. He wanted to stop them from interrupting his speech but he couldn’t find the perfect word to say it.
“You can’t be out of here,” Emerson said into the mic. .
Everywhere was tense and silent like a graveyard. Daphne took her time before turning around to give him a gentle reply.
“And why can’t we boss Emery,” she replied. His face softened for seconds. First time someone called him that. Only his late mom used to call him that. Tears stood at the corner of his and he felt like letting down his tears but he couldn’t. Not in front of his members and families.
“You can’t get out of this Hall without my permission because you are working under me” Emerson said softly but one could see how furious he was.
“Learn how to interact with people in a cool and classic way and stop acting grumpily. Acting like a boss most times will make you older than your age. I think it’s better you tame your angry issues” Daphne dropped an advice and the hall became silent as ever. If a drop of needle should drop at that moment, it will echo through the walls of the hall.
Everyone was waiting for Emerson’s reaction, some were waiting for his reply. Somewhere happy he met this mate.. Olivia, Allison, Clarissa and Maison were happy with the response Daphne gave him. But Emerson himself was short of words and it was visible on his face.
“Now! this is real” Allison giggled.
“You are happy he’s shocked” Olivia asked and she nodded.
“I’m also happy she gave him a savage attitude along the reply. But, what if he orders her to be put in prison.” Olivia said thoughtfully.
“We will stand up against him,” Allison added. Meanwhile, Jocelyn was furious. Furious to the extent of standing up from her seat.
“Can you just listen to him and don’t make him angry. ?” Jocelyn interferes.
“And who is this smelly, stinky, stenchy stinking foul-smelling intruder ?” . Daphne muttered angrily to her face. Loud gasps from the corners of the hall. Somewhere hailing Daphne’s brave attitude but it was also risky. Maison was trying to stop her from causing trouble but she hijacked her hand from him gently.
“Are you okay ?” Jocelyn yelled angrily.
“Are you nuts ?” Daphne replied to her quickly. She did not let silence come between their conversation at all.
“Go back to your seat Jocelyn” Emerson commanded with a high pitch voice. Jocelyn felt like going down to the ground.
“Seriously, are you supporting her? After she insulted me publicly.” She roared angrily.
“Who told you to interfere and also It’s an order” Daphne chuckled at her face.
“Go back to your seat Jocelyn” Olivia interfered.
“At least your assigned boss decided to order you back to your seat and stop creating a scene.” Daphne said with a little boldness in her voice.
“Did you have an argument with her before ?” Maison asked in a whisper.
“No! I’m just wondering why she likes trouble. She likes to get on my bad side” Daphne whispered back. Jocelyn was left with no choice but to go back to her seat.
“So boss. I would like to take permission from you. Actually, I’m just recovering from the situation you put me in. Hope you still remember ?” Daphne threw him a sudden question. Of course, there was no response. The hall was getting tense
“Knew you won’t reply since you are guilty so–
“It’s better to be mindful of your words and don’t get on my bad side.” Emerson roared angrily.
“Just admit you are behind my scary situation” Daphne paused.
“Anyway, I won’t force you, so like I said, you are responsible for my scary situation, same with Maison. But since Maison isn’t part of this clan business, I think he’s free to go but I. She paused and continued.
“I still need to ask for permission from you. Boss Emery can I get my boyfriend out of this Hall since someone’s breath stinks” Daphne said and more less like she’s looking for trouble. She left everyone in a tense state.
“Is she trying to say the boss’s breath stinks?” murmuring filled the hall.
“She’s brave and courageous” another murmuring from the other angle of the hall.
“Whose breath here stinks ?” Emerson asked gently but he was trying to suppress his anger.
” I don’t know but it’s heavy. I breathe very well, guess everyone’s nose has been damaged” Daphne added.
“Bro, can we get out of here, I can’t stand for a long period of time” Maison fakes a groan. Emerson cleared his throat and kept glaring at Daphne who didn’t hesitate to roll her eyes at him.
“I’m done for today. Today’s speech has come to an end. Everyone should dismiss the hall” Emerson said into the mic and dropped it. Almost everyone in the hall was shocked by his attitude.
“He’s too arrogant, ” Daphne said loudly, loud enough for him to hear when he walked past her. Emerson heard her but walked away.
“I will make her pay for humiliating me publicly” he thought angrily. He really felt like killing people, he felt like making Daphne scream his name beneath him on bed. An evil thought came to his mind and he chuckled and walked out of the hall.
