"Layla, there's no hurry. Take it slow," Elliot said. "Fate works in the strangest ways. You won't find what you want if you look for it. Participate in more events, and who knows, maybe you will find someone who is meant to be in your life."

"Dad, I thought you didn't want me to come home too late. Everyone needs to work during the day, and most social events take place at night..." Layla chuckled.

"As long as you take your bodyguard with you, yes," Avery said before Elliot had the chance to say anything.

"I'm going out tonight, then. I will be home late," Layla chirped. "I want to go to the night market. Robert, come with me!"
