Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 88: The Choice Among Contracts

After Aisha left the room, Eleanor listened carefully to the reports from her assistants, Teresa and Lily. Maya, who was currently busy with the Indian site, had sent her updates via online reports. Everything was progressing as planned, and for the moment, all her operations were running smoothly.

"Teresa," Eleanor said, setting her pen down and leaning back in her chair. "It’s time to visit Russia. Start making arrangements for my visit next week. I’m not sure how long I’ll need to stay there, so you will remain here to oversee the operations at headquarters."

She paused briefly, then added, "Cassandra Blanc will be accompanying me on this trip. Make sure she’s prepared for the kind of business tours we conduct. I’ll also be taking five guards. That should be sufficient."

Teresa stood up promptly, her notepad in hand. "Understood. I’ll begin the arrangements immediately."

Lily also stood. "Boss, I’ve got nothing more to report for now. I’ll take my leave as well."

Once both assistants had exited the room, Eleanor found herself alone in the quiet, sunlit office. She pulled out her mobile phone and tapped into the live stream of Freya’s classroom.

The screen showed Freya sitting attentively among her classmates while Miss Cooper, their teacher, stood at the front of the class narrating a story. It was the well-known fable of the lion and the mouse from Aesop’s collection.

After finishing the story, Miss Cooper looked around and began asking the students what they had learned.

"Seraphina Ashford," she called out, "what did you learn from this story?"

Seraphina stood up and said thoughtfully, "Don’t underestimate small animals... I guess?"

"Good," the teacher replied with a warm smile. "Next, Paisley. What about you?"

Paisley stood and offered, "Little animals can help big animals."

"Very good. Freya, your turn. What did you learn?"

Freya stood up confidently. "Even the smallest of us can make a big difference."

"Excellent," Miss Cooper praised.
