There were not many people in the mall, and occasionally several workers could be seen walking around the place.

The stores in Khandud Mall, which used to be live every day, were suddenly closed. This deserted feeling was particularly strange.

Robert chuckled. "I haven't seen so few people in Khandud Mall before."

Khandud Mall was large and divided into four districts, which were named ABCD. There were dozens of merchants' stores on each floor in each district, ranging from big to small.

Fortunately, there were not many people. Both men followed the sound of hammers hitting and soon found an escape room under renovation.

"How large was the space you rented? 32,000square feet?" Robert glanced over and saw a whole row of escape room signs hanging in the north of Area B.

Samuel was a little dumbfounded after seeing that. He knew that Daphne was doing well in her life now, or she would not have the money to come back here and start a business.

Opening an escape room would cost around 200 to 400 thousand dollars.

Samuel did not expect Daphne to spend this much on her business.

He thought, "This is Khandud Mall we're talking about, the most prosperous mall in Yrinas! It's said that the rent of even the smallest store would cost a few hundred dollars a month! How much will it cost in a month to rent this whole row? I'm afraid it would be around ten thousand dollars a year!"

Samuel was a little afraid when he saw the escape room.

He had been working as an acting assistant store manager before, but the area of that escape room was only around 4,300 square feet.

Samuel felt like his heart was thumping like a drum, and he could not help but wonder if he could manage such a big store.

Seeing Samuel slow down his footsteps, Robert guessed correctly what Samuel was thinking and walked to the latter."Let's go and have a look inside."

With Robert walking ahead, Samuel seemed to gain a little confidence, and his footsteps recovered their speed again.

Robert walked into the store, which was currently under renovation with renovation materials placed everywhere.

Robert's estimation was good as the store was about 32,000 square feet.

There were more than a dozen workers and a woman in fashionable attire, who looked particularly conspicuous, walking around the place. The brand logo of the woman's clothes was especially eye-catching, all of which were luxury brands such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton. The price of the clothes alone would be nearly 2,000 dollars.

"Daphne." Samuel greeted the fashionablewoman.

The woman turned her head around to the voice. When she saw Samuel, she trotted over with joy shown on her face and directly held his arm.

The moment their bodies touched each other, Samuel subconsciously looked at Robert beside him and then pulled his arm out of Daphne's arms.

Samuel hurriedly searched for a topic."Daphne, this is Robert. Do you remember him? He's that Robert."

"Robert?" Daphne Walters' eyes widened."Oh,my goodness. So, he's that Robert! He sure has changed a lot! I didn't even recognize him! Robert, I would like to talk to Samuel for a while. Please set up the mirror placed inside there for me."

Daphne gave Robert an order like a superior. After saying that, she did not give him any more glances.

Samuel's face darkened, and he said hurriedly, "Daphne, Robert is here to accompany me..."

Daphne pulled Samuel aside and did not let the man finish his words.

Robert did not care about Daphne's attitude. Although he did not interact much with Daphne before, he still had some understanding of her.

When she was together with Samuel before, she always acted like this. She liked to take charge and order others to work for her.

This was also related to Daphne's status as the cadre of the student council at that time.

Daphne pulled Samuel to the corner and looked at Robert vaguely. She then said, "Samuel, I called you here this time just because we cooperated well, and you have experience in managing an escape room before, but why did you call Robert to come along? He used to only work as a restaurant waiter. I can't afford to keep another idle man."
