enter.”

Lennon forced a nervous smile. “We are merely performing our duties here. If you could kindly support her,

would always reserve the best seat for you. She would appreciate it deeply.”

Eric scoffed coldly.

Lennon was proving to be a slick and crafty businessman. Eric was not about to cause a commotion over a mere

dancer.

“Do you expect me to support her?” Eric’s eyes, cold and dark, briefly lit up with an icy smile. “Let’s see if she

has what it takes to impress me.”

With those words, he walked away.

That woman was merely a dancer. Did she think she could affect him?

“Take care, Mr. Flynn! Hope to see you again!”

As Eric walked away, Lennon bowed, ushering him towards the exit.

After leaving Galant, Eric did not go back to Silver Villas but went straight to the sanatorium to be with his grandmother post–surgery. He planned to stay overnight to monitor her condition.

Nyla was out of immediate danger yet remained frail. She spent the majority of her time asleep, barely

conscious.

During the night, she was under constant care from nurses and caregivers.

Eric’s primary concern was to ensure that all was well.

The night concluded without any problems.

At dawn, Eric was awakened by his alarm for an urgent morning meeting that required preparation.

He collected the clothes Phillips had prepared for him and proceeded to shower.
