"It really is you," Emerson smiled.
"I noticed you from outside. What are you doing in the VIP room?" Emerson asked.
Halia glanced at Emerson. That was right, he didn't know she was here on a junket package.
"I was actually invited by one of your junkets, so I need to spend 2 hours here," Halia explained helplessly.
Emerson looked at Halia in surprise. He thought she had specifically come to Macau for him. But, as it turned out, she was just there for a vacation.
"Oh, I had no idea," Emerson sighed. He then lowered his head and said apologetically, "I honestly thought you were here for me, that's why I acted the way I did last night. Halia, I've never been the type of man to force myself onto a woman. I'm honestly sorry for my actions last night, I truly misunderstood your intentions. I'm sorry if I frightened you. I hope we can still be friends."
After Emerson finished talking, there was a moment of awkward silence.
