Chapter 124

Elara sart, Grod morning?"

She had gone out to dinner last night and had a few drinks

When she got back, Lysander was already there.

Her mind was a bit foggy at the time.

Now, thinking about it, she could only feel a bit awkward. "You Why did you suddenly come over?" Besides, she was in Brookfield now.

Lysander didn't go back to Starfield City but actually came all the way to Brookfield to find her!

Lysander looked at her and said, "Just happened to drop by to check on you. Now look at what you did. And drinking- what's with the drinking?"

Elara smiled awkwardly. "It was for work, socializing. You know how it is-business is business, there's no way around it..."

She didn't mention that it was her own indulgence that made her drink too much.

After hearing her explanation, Lysander-didn't reprimand her. He simply said, "When you're out for business, who would dare force you to drink? Tell me who they are, I'll have a word with them." Elara was speechless.

Seeing the seriousness on his face, she knew there was no way to get this over with easily.

She cleared her throat and said sheepishly, "I'm going to take a shower."

If he asked any more questions, she felt like she'd be doomed to get a scolding!

Elara hurried to the bathroom, took a shower, and then realized that Lysander had even removed her makeup for her.

Every time she came back from work ater a long day, the last thing she wanted to do was take off her makeup.

'He's too considerate, she thought.

*****

When Elara finished her shower and came out, Lysander was sitting on the couch.

He was already up.

Elara rubbed her hair dry and turned to Lysander. "When are you leaving?" she asked. "Where to?" Lysander asked.

"I thought you said you just came by to see me," Elara said.

Lysander replied, "I'll head back to Starfield City tonight."

"I'm going back too!" Elara said.
