With only a glimmer of hope, Nola tried to remain calm and collected, while deep down inside she longed for Elvis to come back before Friday. Even if he couldn’t make it, she hoped he would at least send her a message.

Unfortunately, she heard nothing from him.

For several days, they hadn’t contacted each other, and Nola returned to her old routine. Only occasionally did she think of the owner of Breeze Garden.

Alisa noticed everything and tried to reassure Nola, asking her not to overthink things. Nola smiled but knew she had no right to think too much. To Elvis, she was not important.

Perhaps, as Elvis had said, without her, Mrs. Grayson could be anyone as long as she was someone he didn’t detest.

Nola knew that she could become Mrs. Grayson only because she seized the opportunity.

“Alisa, I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight.” Nola was dressed and ready, not in luxurious attire but still decent. She had only used the credit card Elvis had given her to buy a few books.

After all, she wasn’t accustomed to spending other people’s money, especially when their relationship was awkward.

“Mrs. Grayson, let the driver take you. I feel better knowing you’re in good hands.”

Nola hesitated for a moment but then agreed. She knew Alisa cared about her safety, so she said, “Don’t worry, Alisa. My father asked me to come back for dinner. I’ll be back as soon as it’s over.”

Finally, Alisa felt relieved and knew that Nola going back to her family’s home wouldn’t cause any problems.
