Eloise didn’t even look at him, tomed around, typed in the code, and entered the house, then closed the door behind her.
“Eloise, Jacob and I are going on vacation tomorrow for about two days and one night,” Sophia said with a slight smile.
“so?” Eloise was confused as to why she was being told this.
“You’re my personal doctor, so you have to come with us.
Before Eloise could say anything, Jacob frowned.
“Sophia, I’ll go with you. Don’t bring her.”
“But I’ve been feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen these past two days. I feel more at ease with Eloise around.”
Hearing this, Jacob quickly nodded. “Alright, Bring her, then.”
“Wait a minute.” Eloise chuckded. “You two decided this without asking me if 1 agreed?“!
Jacob squinted. “You have to agree”
“Why?”

She took a deep breath, sneered, and nodded. “Fine. I’ll go, as long as you two don’t mind me being the third wheel!”
It was late when Quincey came back. She had gone to Jack’s bar for some drinks, and as soon as she entered the door, she hugged Eloise and started crying. “What happened? What’s wrong?”
Quincey cried so much that she couldn’t say anything, only shaking her head.

“Isot that a good thing?”
“But as soon as they signed me, they told me to give up the role I just got from Mr. Hawlding for a newcomer they’re pushing in the company.
“Can they do that?”
“They told me to go talk to Mr. Hawking, and if he agrees, I can get compensation from the company and go to another project.”
“What if Mr. Hawking doesn’t agree?”
“They didn’t say, but I guess they’d just stop giving me work and not let me find any elsewhere, letting me starve.”
“Then, break the contract.”
I said that, too, but they showed me the contract I just signed, and the termination fee is something I can’t afford no matter what
Eloise sat down next to Quincey, patting her shoulder to comfort her. “I know a lawyer friend. I’ll go with you to see him tomorrow
“No, Elodur. I’m in liuge debt. I can’t afford a lawsuit,”
“So, what do you plan to do?”

Jacob and the others left in the afternoon. Holse had the moming free, so she could accompany Quincey to Stanley’s studio.
Tissudio was in a small building from the Sosor ños, located in the bustling city center, surrounded by skyscrapers. The building had a large yard with several lycanskje immens shading the area. With the birds clasping, I felt like stepping into another world..
Entering the last floor, it was a spacious bookstore.
Only a few people were there, some sitting and reading, others drinking coffee and letting their thoughts wander. It was so quiet that even the sounds of footsteps
were clear

Quincey pursed her lips. “I am.”
Then, please come with me. I’ll take you in the second floor to meet Mr. Hawking.”
