His Eagle Eyes on Me

"I rarely go on business trips because Mom and Dad don't want me to exhaust myself. I used to listen to them, but I've had a moment of clarity. How can I shy away from the exhausting parts of work? I can't do that for work, nor can I do so for life in general. I want to train myself and to do that, I need to step out of the comfort zone our parents built for me."

Ivy nodded in agreement.

That night, Layla posted a photo of Cambrode and her flight ticket with the caption [Looking forward to my trip to Cambrode before going to sleep.] After that, she went to sleep.

There was only one flight to Cambrode each day, and it departed at seven, which meant that she would have to arrive at the airport at six in the morning.

Elliot's mansion was an hour's drive away from the airport, so, at the latest, Layla would need to wake up by half past four and leave by five, and this calculation excluded the time she would need for breakfast. She rarely needed to wake up early, so she was concerned.

Layla suppressed the urge to play with her phone and went to sleep early, yet she woke up a few times throughout the night.
