The next morning, Lauren's call wokefrom my dreams.

After a night of exhaustion with Atlas, | had hoped to sleep a little more, but she had called early.

| groggily reached for the phone, answering without even looking, and heard Lauren's voice on the other end. "Why did it take you

so long to answer?"

Yawning, | replied, half-asleep, "I slept late last night."

"I see you're getting very comfortable. Enjoying life a little too much, huh?" Lauren teased.

"You're so disrespectful. How can you say that?" | didn't hold back and ribbed her. "Looks like you're the one with too much free

time."

Lauren laughed heartily on the other end, and this banter completely dispelled any lingering sleepiness.

"Hurry and get up. lvanna's company is going to visit Bourdamun today. They're planning to shoot a special documentary there.

Ivanna says it's a great opportunity for our project, since Bourdamun isn't a typical area of focus. They're doing a follow-up, and

you know..."

My spirits lifted at the thought of free publicity. | couldn't pass up this chance.

"I'll get up right away. When are we leaving?" | quickly sat up, crawling to the edge of the bed.

"No rush. We don't have to go with them. We just have to get there before noon. Ivanna suggested grabbing a quick lunch

together, and we can drive over ourselves later. It'll be like a road trip. After all, it's Saturday, and the traffic should be light. It'll

also be a chance to relax."

"Okay, | might be a little late. Rose is coming to Pleca Park, and | want to see her before | leave," | informed Lauren.

"That's fine. Givea call when you're ready, and I'll cover to meet you." Lauren agreed easily and hung up the phone.

| freshened up quickly. When | pulled the curtains back, | noticed that the sky outside was heavily overcast. It seemed like rain was

on the way.

| didn't see Atlas in the small dining room. | wondered where he had gone at this early hour.

Before | could finish breakfast, Nigel, the housekeeper, cto informthat Rose had arrived.

| quickly put down my cutlery, wiped my mouth with a couple of tissues, and headed downstairs.

Rose had just sat down when | hurriedly descended.

"Have you had breakfast, Grandma?"

"I have. Old people don't need that much sleep. | woke up early for breakfast," she said, looking at me. "Why didn't you get more

sleep?"

"I'm going to Bourdamun later," | said truthfully. "There are sthings | want to discuss there."

"Is construction starting over there?" She had known that | had secured Bourdamun and was well-informed about what was

happening.

"Soon. Everything's ready, but there are sconcerns about the design. Once that's settled, we'll start."

"l understand, Grandma." | nodded earnestly. "The preliminary review is very rigorous, with many layers of scrutiny. After

everything has been confirmed, we'll have professional supervisors during the construction."

| knew that this project wouldn't just benefitif it succeeded. Everyone understood this, but it was an unspoken agreement not

to mention the underlying implications explicitly.

She looked at me. "Go ahead with your business. You don't have to accompany me."

As we were talking, my mom hurried downstairs. "You're here, Mrs. Rose. I've been looking forward to Saturday. How long are you

staying this time?"

Rose gracefully put down her teacup and smiled at my mom. She pointed to a small suitcase behind the sofa. "I've brought my

luggage. I've been wanting to stay for a few days. It's wonderful here."

Then she waved at me. "Go on! | don't need you to accompany me."

| smiled, stood up, and said, "Alright, Grandma, I'm leaving!"

But before | could leave, Atlas walked in. He had obviously gone out early.

"Will you be back in the evening?" He asked, frowning slightly. "If the weather turns bad, it might be better for you not to come

back tonight. Safety first."

"Okay, I'll take care. I'll call you if | decide not to cback," | reassured him, not wanting him to worry.

He sawto the car, watching as | drove away from Pleca Park. As | saw him standing in the rearview mirror, my heart fluttered.

The weather today did not look good, and | felt a little stifled.
