Chapter 9: The Symposium

(Elena’s POV)

For a whole week, I didn’t see Marcus again, I wasn’t surprised when Director Henry Baker asked me to take Sophia to attend the Advanced Healing Arts Research Symposium, saying it was Marcus’s suggestion. I had known this was coming for a long time.

The pattern was always the same. Marcus would make decisions about Sophia’s career advancement, then

expect me to facilitate them without question.

I

On the day of the symposium, I sent a message to Sophia via my work phone, telling her to prepare. She replied with a simple “Okay.”

I exited the institute and waited for Sophia by my car. The morning air was crisp, carrying the scent of

autumn leaves

Soon, I received another message from Sophia: “Sorry, Elena, please go ahead first. Marcus will send me

later.

I glanced at the message, a cold smile appearing on my lips. Of course he would personally escort her to such an important event.

I replied with “Alright” and turned off my phone screen.

I drove to Shadowspire Tower alone, my hands gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary. As I stepped out of my car, I happened to see Marcus’s sleek black vehicle arriving.

Sophia, dressed up and wearing delicate makeup, stepped out of the passenger seat. She looked radiant, her hair perfectly styled and her dress elegant.

Marcus followed. He was wearing a light–colored casual outfit, a departure from his usual somber

appearance.

I thought to myself that Alphas with their first love are indeed different. I wondered if he had been spending

the entire week with Sophia.

Suppressing the odd feeling in my heart, I averted my gaze and entered the building.

In the Grand Atrium, I encountered an acquaintance, Nathan Sterling. Nathan’s family was a close friend of

Professor Theodore Ashworth’s, and I had interacted with him before when I was with Professor Ashworth.

Nathan approached me with his usual carefree smile. “Elena! Are you also here for the symposium?”

I confirmed that I was. “Yes, representing the Northern Territory Central Healing Institute.”

Nathan inquired about my well–being. “How have you been? You look tired.”

“I’m doing well,” I replied, asking about Professor Ashworth in return. “How is the old professor?”

Nathan’s expression brightened. “Old Theodore misses you very much. He always asks about his star

At that moment, Sophia walked towards us, “Elena, why didn’t you wait for me?”
