Emma felt a sense of bewilderment as she was brought to the project site. Instead of engaging in a discussion, King Otto departed with Hector Baxter, leaving her alone with Bobby Baxter.
The atmosphere was charged with an unspoken tension as Emma and Bobby found themselves in an unexpected tête-à-tête. Bobby, ever the enigmatic figure, studied Emma with a glint of curiosity in his discerning eyes.
Bobby, adjusting his waistcoat with a calculated air, broke the silence, "Lady White, it seems fate has orchestrated an intriguing encounter for us."
Emma, maintaining her poise, responded, "Indeed, Mr. Baxter. Unexpected, yet intriguing."
Bobby's enigmatic smile hinted at layers of motives beneath his charming exterior. "I've heard much about your accomplishments, Miss White. A woman of your caliber is a rare find."
Emma acknowledged with a nod, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Baxter. Your family's reputation precedes you as well."
