Emma Hart led Matthew Taylor towards the break room downstairs. Damien Sterling watched them thoughtfully.
Inside the elevator, the atmosphere between Emma Hart and Matthew Taylor was incredibly awkward. Unable to hold back any longer, Emma finally asked, "Mr. Taylor, do you have any other important matters to attend to today?" She knew that the distance between City A and their location wasn't short. Matthew Taylor wouldn't come all this way just to choose a spokesperson. The message he sent earlier made her even more suspicious.
"Didn't you understand my message?" Matthew Taylor scoffed. They maintained a distance from each other in the elevator, aware that it was easily monitored.
"I think it's best if we keep our distance," Emma said, expressing her true feelings. She knew nothing could happen between them, considering her relationship with Damien Sterling, and she had no romantic feelings for Matthew Taylor.
