Chapter 36:

The next day, Elyse woke with bleary eyes, rubbing away sleep as she rose from bed. After a quick wash, she descended to the first floor for breakfast.

“Good morning! Please join us for breakfast,” Driscoll greeted upon seeing her.

Elyse trotted over and took her seat, noticing Jayden’s absence. “Where’s Jayden?” she inquired curiously.

“He’s in the study. I’ll bring breakfast to him later,” Driscoll replied.

Knowing Jayden’s preference for the study, Elyse suggested, “Let me take breakfast to him there. I’ll give him a massage afterward.”

“Alright, I’ll prepare it in the kitchen,” Driscoll agreed with a smile.

With bread and butter for breakfast, Elyse planned to check on the orchestra later, now that the internet rumors about her had subsided and her clarification had been released.

After breakfast, she accepted a tray from Driscoll and made her way to the study. Inside, Jayden was engaged in a phone call. Hearing her approach, he promptly ended the call and settled into his wheelchair, feigning nonchalance.

“Breakfast is served!” Elyse announced cheerfully as she placed the tray before him.
