He gently nudged Elyse toward the building, adding, “This place might not be the most liberating, but the chef
here is remarkable. You must try the food later.”
As they entered the building, a middle-aged man in a tailcoat stepped forward to greet them respectfully. “Mr.
McCoy, welcback.”
Edward introduced Elyse, saying, “This is the friend I've been talking about. Please take her to the guest room

Elyse nodded and followed the butler upstairs.
In the elevator, she felt a sudden sense of relief, which the butler picked up on. His tone softened as he said,
“Miss Lloyd, you are the only woman Mr. McCoy has ever brought home. That's reassuring to me.”
Elyse looked puzzled. “Doesn’t Edward have other female friends?”
The butler shook his head. “It’s not just female friends. He doesn’t really have any friends. His temper drives

Curiosity sparked in Elyse. “He has a bad temper?”

When they reached her room, Elyse took a moment to look around. Her belongings had been neatly packed and
brought over, including her personal items.
After checking everything, Elyse turned to the butler and said, “Thank you. | have everything | need for now, so |
won't require further assistance.”
The butler nodded with respect. “Very well. Should you need anything, just call for me.”
Once the butler had closed the door, Elyse was left alone. She immediately released the exhaustion that had
been weighing her down and collapsed onto the bed.

Ever since receiving a message from Jayden earlier that afternoon, she had been plagued by unease. She longed
to cling to something tangible, yet nothing was within reach.
“Charlie and Aarya are already gone. Who else is Jayden dealing with?” Elyse whispered to herself, realizing she
had no one to answer her questions.
She pulled her phone from her pocket and opened her message thread with Jayden. She had sent several
messages to him earlier, but he had not responded. Now, she stared blankly at the screen, wondering if Jayden

As expected, Jayden did not reply.
