At that moment, Elysia was just leaving school when she spotted Zane waiting outside. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she approached him and asked, “Are you here to pick up Alice?”

Zane nodded. “Yeah. I heard you’re heading to Iskoria Villa today, right?”

Elysia nodded, “I’ve got an appointment with Mr. Hartley. We agreed on four days a week, and I need to check in with him regularly.”

Zane said, “Well, lucky for you, I’m heading there too. I can give you a ride.

Elysia said, “Thanks, Zane.”

Ever since she became Vincent’s student, Elysia hadn’t had the chance to properly learn from him. Vincent wasn’t happy about that. He said she was wasting her potential and made a few strict rules–like requiring her to show up at least four

times a week.

As Alice exited the school gates, she was a little surprised to see Zane waiting for her because normally, Zane sent his assistant to pick her up, but today he was here in person.

However, when she noticed Elysia standing beside him, it clicked. Clearly, Zane had come himself to pick her up–just because of Elysia.

“Hi, Zane, Elysia,” Alice walked up to them with a sweet smile.

“Alright, get in,” Zane said. Alice rolled her eyes but obediently climbed into the back seat.

The three of them settled into the car, and it drove smoothly down the road. Alice stared out the window, thinking this route seemed familiar–it was the way to Vincent’s house. She glanced over at Zane. “Are we going to Vincent’s?”

Zane said, “Yeah.”

Alice frowned, a little puzzled. She thought, ‘Zane is acting weird. Normally, he avoids visiting Vincent, but this time he is heading there himself. She turned to Elysia, and it all clicked.
