Chapter 13 Who is Master Daniel?
Joshua sprinted through the crowd, calling out eagerly and losing his shoe in the process, not caring about his image in front of others.
Everyone in attendance was taken aback.
Master Daniel? Who was Master Daniel? How could he make Joshua
behave so uncharacteristically?
All the elites from Delvin Hub’s business circle were present, and they all knew each other. A round of confused glances swept the room,
with no unfamiliar face to identify.
After looking around, Jessica turned to Brittany and asked, “You’re in charge of checking in today’s guests. Is there anyone named Master
Daniel?”
Brittany shook her head, recalling, “There isn’t any guest named
Master Daniel on the list, not even any Daniel at all.”
“Then who is Master Daniel?” Jessica was puzzled.
Daniel turned with a slight smile, openly admitting, “It’s me.”
“You? You’re Master Daniel?” Jessica was incredulous.
Brittany scoffed, “How could that be you? A nobody making a spectacle of himself? How could you, a mere riffraff from the countryside, be acknowledged by a person of Master Joshua’s
stature?”
Jessica was furious with Daniel for his purportedly outlandish claims about the indemnity and now claiming to be Master Daniel. “Have you
not caused enough trouble? Or do you find amusement in tormenting me further?”
Daniel didn’t bother to explain as Joshua had already reached him and embraced him warmly. “Master Daniel, how I’ve missed you!”
Everyone, including Jessica and Brittany, was completely stunned by
the scene before them. This man, whom they thought of as a nobody from the countryside, turned out to be Master Daniel?
“Ever since we parted last evening, I’ve been tossing and turning, restless, with my mind filled with all that you’ve shared, my dear
Master Daniel!”
“Stop, stop, stop! If you keep going, people will get the wrong idea. I don’t want my reputation compromised like you do.”
“Misunderstood? Misunderstood what? We talked about those formulas until late last night. I understood everything you explained, but after you left, I got confused again. My flight back to Washington is at 2 p.m., and we still have a couple of hours. Let’s find a place, have lunch, and discuss this. I need to clear all my doubts before I
head back.”
Joshua tried to tug Daniel away, who stood rooted like a steadfast post, completely immovable.
“Master Daniel, let’s go!”
“I can’t leave.”
“Why not?”
“My boss, Jessica, is angry; she hasn’t given me time off, so I can’t go.

“Your boss, Jessica?”
Daniel pointed to Jessica, and upon seeing her, even Joshua, who had seen many beautiful women, was momentarily dazzled. Rumor had it that Jessica had once won a beauty pageant but gave up the
title for reasons unknown. She was the most beautiful woman he had Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
ever seen, bar none.
Smart as he was, Joshua immediately guessed she must be Daniel’s
wife. With a beaming smile, he courteously addressed Jessica, “Miss
Jessica, may I borrow your Daniel for just two hours? I promise we
won’t be a minute over.”
“Josh, stop causing trouble here. It might work with someone else, but it will surely fail with you.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s your Healthy Land that offended my boss, Jessica. She’s been driven to tears by your broken promises!”
