"No need to explain any further."
Sophie said with a smile, "We're still friends, make sure to visit more often when you're free."
"Will do."
Outside the Aldridge estate, Kiran's ride had already arrived.
After Sandy left, Elodie commented, "Well, that's just great. We were already busy, and with Ms. Sandy gone, it's
going to be even busier."
"Indeed, even busier."
Sophie shook her head.
Just thinking about the pile of work waiting for her at the office gave her a headache.
"Wait a minute, we're all this busy, how cHarold isn't around to help?"

Elodie frowned, usually, if there was any trouble, Harold would be the first to help them tackle the mess, but
since the last trip from the valley, Harold had been conspicuously absent.
"Mr. Gordon mentioned he had commitments; he's probably even busier than us these days..."
Thinking it over, Harold's situation might not be any better than theirs.
"Gordon, huh..."
A slight smile appeared on Elodie's face.
"| remember Ms. Elodie and Mr. Gordon are quite familiar with each other."
"Familiar might be overstating it, | just owe him a favor."
Elodie said, "I used to wonder what kind of woman would be suitable for him. Then | realized, a man as ruthless
to others, and especially to himself as he is, will probably end up alone for life. Now, | don't even think about it
anymore." "Ms. Elodie's perspective is quite unique..."
"The first t| saw Gordon, |
wondered how such a rare gem could exist in this world. The second t| saw him, | thought about how dark-
hearted a man could be I'm
sure Ms. Sophie can relate
Sophie suddenly recalled the first tshe met Gordon. He had someone throw a woman trying to cling to him
from the second floor, an utterly chilling moment that still haunted her to the bone. Sophie shuddered
involuntarily.
Yes!
Deeply relatable.
"Living like this every day, I'd rather be dead."
Adler was lamenting in his room, "A through-and-through shoulder wound, and you've hadlying at hfor
three days. Sometimes, feel like working isn't so bad, at least | wouldn't be trapped in my room unable to go
anywhere."
"Shere."

Jenna, also confined to her room, wore a forlorn expression.
Her injuries weren't severe, yet she was forced to stay for a check-up.
Sophie glanced back at the two restless individuals in the next room, feeling like she was babysitting.
One was a powerhouse in the corporate world.
The other, the significant other of said powerhouse.
They were just nursing wounds at Aldridge Estate for three days, nearly tearing the house down every morning.
"If you two are so averse to resting, then help with the company's work."
Sophie directly called Tricia, "Tricia,
Yet
sendthe recent reports for Dennis Group and Tredgold Corporation... actually, don't send them to me, send
them directly to Ms. Jenna and Mr. Adler's phones. Let them see what kind of days Colby and | have been having.
They'll realize how comfortable their rest has been in comparison."
