Sellers replied, "Big brother said two weeks should be enough."

Israel and Coleman both visibly relaxed at this.

But Aurora shook her head. "That won't work."

Everyone looked at her.

Her face was still pale, but her eyes were set with determination.

Leonard frowned. "It's just a job, Aurora. One more week won't make a difference. If you're worried about proving yourself, I can line up a few more contracts for you."

Sellers chimed in, unwilling to back down. "Aurora, just focus on getting better. Connections and resources aren't a problem—I'll take care of it."

Israel and Coleman nodded in agreement. Whatever Sellers and Leonard could offer, they could match.

They were about to argue further, but Aurora changed the subject.
