Theodore sat beside her, accompanying her home. Elara’s eyes, usually clear and bright, now carried a faint mistiness. Suddenly remembering something, she pulled out her phone and made a call.
“Hello.”
Leonard’s cool, water–like voice flowed into her ears, soothing her alcohol–fired nerves like a clear spring
“Mr. Fisher, I’ve secured control of Joss Tech.” Elara’s voice brimmed with childlike excitement as she proudly announced her achievement to Leonard.
Hearing her say “Mr. Fisher“, Theodore’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She’s talking to Leonard. He then turned his head to look at her.
From the phone, Leonard’s voice remained crisp as a mountain stream. “I’m aware of what Harvey did at Joss Tech today.”
Elara’s lips curved. “He helped me eliminate Niamh, so I’ll give him that much credit. But I’ll never forgive him! His real target was Theodore!”
Hearing his name, Theodore’s smile widened until it nearly reached his ears.
Leonard responded, “If he bothers you, I can transfer him to the Fernia branch.”
A soft chuckle escaped Elara’s throat before she said, “No need for now. I still want to have some fun with him.” She continued, “I’ve taken over Priscilla’s project. Quantum Tech is now under my control, and since Fisher Corp is Prince Nation’s partner, I’ll make sure Harvey knows he’s no match for me in business!”
As she spoke, the haze in her eyes cleared slightly. “If Harvey ever goes to Fernia, it’ll be because he chose to run there himself!”
Leonard remained silent, and through the phone, Elara could only hear his steady breathing.
“Mr. Fisher?”
His voice finally reached her ears. “Seems like the you from seven years ago has returned.”
Elara’s shoulders curled slightly as her ears grew warm.
Suddenly remembering something, she added, “Summit Academy is holding an event next week. Merida will be performing–if Xavier is interested, I’d like to invite him.”
“I’ll let Xavier know,” Leonard replied,
Just then, Theodore’s voice drifted over mournfully, “Elara, you’ve ignored ige for three whole minutes…” She instinctively turned to meet his affectionate gaze He looked like a lonely puppy staring at her with hopeful eyes, as if waiting for her to pet him.
A fuzzy warmth bloomed in Elara’s chest, and her cheeks flushed pink again.
Theodore seemed to realize belatedly. “Oh? You’re talking to Leo? No worries, no worries.
“I’ll just keep admiring the view by myself.”
He lifted his wrist and glanced at his Patek Philippe. He then asked, “It’s almost 10:00 pm. Can the old man even stay up this late? Don’t bully the elderly now.”

Leonard was baffled. Every word Theodore said was transmitted clearly through the phone.
Leonard’s voice came through again. “You’re with Theodore right now?”
“Mm,” Elara replied curtly.
“Then I won’t keep you.” His tone softened. “Get some rest early.”
