Maxwell asked, "Which country are you heading to?" absentmindedly rubbing his fingers together as he pondered something.
"Arkenvale," Mona replied honestly. She had asked the manager before leaving and had also obtained Artemis Rain's assistant's contact information.
"Wait for me at home. I'll go with you. I have a contract to sign in Arkenvale in a couple of days," Maxwell said.
Hearing that Maxwell would accompany her, Mona felt a wave of happiness. "Great, I'll wait for you at home. There's no rush."
The manager had mentioned that Artemis would be in Arkenvale for a week to shoot a commercial. If things went well, Mona hoped to spend some time exploring the country with Maxwell, which might strengthen their bond. After ending the call, Mona felt much better. She also called her grandparents to let them know she and Maxwell were going abroad, omitting the part about her design being swapped to avoid worrying them.
In her heart, Mona suspected Barbara of switching her design, though she had no proof. She kept this in mind, planning to settle scores from both her past and present lives in due time.
Meanwhile, after ending the call, Maxwell told the board members the meeting was adjourned. The directors were surprised by his uncharacteristic behavior, which deviated from his usual businesslike demeanor. Maxwell left the meeting room and returned to his office, with his assistant, Nigel, following behind.
"I'll handle the negotiations in Arkenvale myself. You come with me and have Bud manage the company," Maxwell said, eager to return home.
"But, sir, wasn't Bud supposed to handle the trip to Arkenvale?" Nigel asked, puzzled. The deal in Arkenvale wasn't particularly critical, so it seemed unusual for Maxwell to go personally. Maxwell didn't answer Nigel's question, instead reiterating, "I'll go. Inform Bud, and we'll meet at the airport later."
