His Eagle Eyes on Me

The assistant felt sorry for her but understood her decision. "Ms. Tate, you are a wonderful woman. I'm sure you will find someone who loves you more than life itself." "I don't want to think about relationships for now," Layla said casually. "I was rushing into things because I wanted to be with Eric."

Since that was no longer possible, she saw no point in rushing anymore.

"Ms. Tate, if even people like you have troubles in life, I guess I shouldn't be complaining about my life at all," her assistant said. "Maybe we are all alive to suffer." Layla forced a smile. "Don't say that. There are still plenty of things to be happy about. I've gained some level of clarity after getting here. I guess the pain does ease as time passes. Time is a wonderful thing." "Ms. Tate, you said you wanted to climb the mountain last night, so I checked online. Climbing all the way up is really tiring, so let's not do that! There's a spot on the mountain that we can get to by cable car. We can get there to take some photos, but it will only get up to a thousand meters from the ground so it might not be as impressive as you expect it to be. Since that's what most people do, let's go with this option instead!"

After a brief moment of silence, Layla asked, "Did Eric really say that he is coming to Cambrode after I asked him to?"

Layla faintly remembered making a call, but she did not remember who she called, and what she had said.

"Do you want to call and confirm with him?" The assistant did not have Eric's number so there was no way for her to find out if Eric had departed from Aryadelle. Layla picked up her phone to call Eric.

"Sorry, but the number you called is unavailable. Please try again later."
