After Elysia explained herself, Scott finally nodded in agreement. Elysia made a good point; if that rumor spread,
it would be very embarrassing for him.
With the matter settled, talking about it more would be pointless. Scott thought, ‘At least Elysia has a strong
connection with Zane, which might prove useful after all!
Without saying another word, Scott returned to his study with a serious expression. Seeing this, Elysia went back
to her own
om. She pulled out her phone and called Nicole. In about two seconds, the call connected.
“Elysia, what a surprise to hear from you!” Nicole's voice sounded happy.
Elysia frowned slightly. “Did you not realize | was calling for a reason?”
Nicole was confused. “What reason?”
You were supposed to find a guy who does interior design for me-how did you end up involving Zane?”
“Zane? | never talked to him directly, but | did mention it to Jeremy. He must have told Zane. No wonder he was
so agreeable then!”
Only then did Nicole seem to understand. “Elysia, are you saying Zane has everything set up for you?”
Before Elysia could respond, Nicole went on, “You are special to him. In all the tI've known him, this is the
first the’s been so attentive to a girl!
“Elysia, what will the elders do if they find out Zane likes you? Will they be mad or happy?” Nicole asked,
excitement clear in
her voice.

Elysia went quiet. She thought, ‘If the elders find out... What was I thinking? This isn’t even certain! Why am |
imagining how they'd react if Zane becmy boyfriend?
‘Nicole has completely ledastray! What on earth am | thinking?”
Meanwhile, Nicole kept chatting. “Elysia, are you listening?”
“Yes.”
“Elysia, do you think Jack will hit him or happily welchim?”
Elysia rolled her eyes, thinking the conversation was becoming ridiculous. “Enough!”
“Oh! Are you getting anxious?”
“Of course not!”
“Elysia, do you have feelings for Zane? Maybe you both love each other? | never thought you'd be interested in
someone like
him...”
Before Nicole could finish, Elysia quickly ended the call. Just a moment ago, Nicole's mention of “love” made her
cheeks
warm.
Her mind wandered back to their first meeting in the principal's office, where Zane wore a sleek black suit. Every
tthey met, her heart raced uncontrollably.

Whenever she was with him, she wished twould slow down. ‘Is this what it feels like to love someone?
Racing through her education, she hadn't really thought about love.
Elysia found herself grateful to Scott for getting her into Milton School. At first, she had regretted it, but later,
she realized that school life wasn’t so bad. After all, she had never truly experienced it before.
After thinking it over, Elysia finally picked up her phone to call Zane. At that moment, Zane was busy with a
video conference. When he saw her npop up on his phone, his eyes lit up.
fle said, “We'll wrap up today’s meeting here. Dismissed.”
lidn’t wait for others’ reactions and hung up, leaving them puzzled about what had caused his sudden change in
mood. ey wondered if something they said had upset him.
Zane grabbed his phone and quickly answered. His serious face softened as he said gently, “Elysia.”
Hearing his familiar voice made Elysia pause for a second before replying. “Thank you for helping with the
renovations.”
“It was no big deal; you don’t need to thank me.”
Elysia smiled lightly. “Letbuy you dinner sometime.”
“That sounds great.” After hanging up. Zane could hardly contain his happiness, which showed on his face when
he saw Alice. His smile shocked her.
Seeing Zane smile like that was unusual. Alice wondered, ‘Is something miraculous happening, or has he found
joy for sunknown reason? Have | unintentionally upset him? But I've been behaving well lately
After a moment, Alice asked, “Zane, is everything alright with you?”
When Zane noticed her worried look, he quickly hid his smile, frowning. “Do | look troubled?”
Alice thought that while Zane might appear fine, his behavior was definitely out of character. She asked, “Zane,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmare you happy because Vincent is coming to Sivro?”
“But... that shouldn't be the reason,” she added, as Vincent always pressured Zane about marriage when
Vincent showed up. Zane usually tried to avoid him and would not be happy.
Zane's face turned serious as he asked, “When is Vincent coming?”
“It seems to be tomorrow. Zane, will you pick Vincent up?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Zane, if you don’t go, Vincent will be upset. If he’s upset...”
Before Alice could finish, Zane turned and headed to the study. Watching his determined silhouette, she sighed
inwardly. She couldn't wait for Vincent to arrive and see Zane looking less assertive.
In the study, Zane kept a serious expression. After a while, he finally took out his phone and texted Alice: [Send
When Alice saw the message, she nearly spat out the water. Zane's quick change was shocking. He had just said
he wouldn't meet Vincent, yet now he was eager for the itinerary.
Alice: [How much are you willing to pay for it?]

Zane: [Any amount is fine. Once | tell Vincent that you're extorting me, I'm sure he’ll be thrilled to know he has
such a thoughtful great-granddaughter.]
Zane's sarcasm was clear to Alice. Alice thought, “This is blatant intimidation! Once Vincent arrives in Sivro, I'll
make sure to tell him about Zane’s bad behavior!
Her fingers flew across the screen as she typed a response: [Zane, I'll ask for free right away!]
