Connor gently extracted his hand the moment she quieted, inwardly relieved. Finally, he could be done with this charade.
Harvey turned to the door and called his assistant. “Bring in her attending physician.”

A few tasteful ornaments, several unassuming documents.She pulled her hands back and shoved them into her coat pockets, tilting her head thoughtfully, lashes low.Then, after a long pause, she moved to the other side of the desk. Her fingers brushed against a specific corner of the wood.With a slight flick of her nails—sharp and precise—the panel shifted.Click.A hidden section revealed itself: a digital screen with a numeric keypad embedded beneath.Briella licked her lips, a faint glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

Briella dragged a chair over and sat down, propping her head up with one hand.Her eyes glinted playfully as she pointed at him with a lazy smile."You—do you want to be my student?""Me? Are you talking about me?" Alan blinked in disbelief, first nodding, then shaking his head.“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t want to?”“No, no, I do! I absolutely do!”Alan flung his book aside, hands flailing excitedly like a child. He looked like he wanted to grab her hand but didn’t dare.“Skye…”“Still calling me Skye? Change that. Call me ‘teacher.’”Briella reached out and took his hand, lips curled into a gentle smile.“Yes, ma’am—Teacher!” Alan beamed. “Does that mean you’ll bring me into the lab now?”“I will.

"Mr. Preston, Miss Winona has arrived."Preston's assistant spoke softly, standing at the door.Preston closed his laptop with a click and nodded. "Let her in."The assistant had just turned to leave when the door swung open on its own, and a clear, confident voice chimed in—"No need, Mr. Preston. I'm already here."Winona Windsor entered with a smile as harmless as an angel’s. Her sapphire blue dress glimmered like a fairytale, making her look like a princess who had just descended from the clouds.The assistant gave her a respectful bow before silently retreating and shutting the door.Preston remained seated but wore a mild smile. “Her Highness the Princess has come all this way—please forgive me for not receiving you personally.

“...I didn’t say anything, alright?” Red Rose rolled her eyes with mock innocence. “Don’t start with me, Austin.”“Girl, your mouth never stops running,” Iron Blade said with his arms crossed, smirking like a devil.Red Rose marched over, heels clicking like a death sentence, and stomped down on Iron Blade’s foot with her six-inch stilettos.Hard.Then she tossed her curls dramatically and snapped, “Mind your own damn business, dumbass.”Austin winced just watching.

“Oh? The little one made progress?” Briella teased with a smirk, though she was genuinely impressed.The response came with an angry squeak—her signature baby voice cracking in protest.“Who are you calling a kid?! I’m already twenty!”“Oh? If you can beat me, I won’t call you that again.”“Bring it on! I’m not scared!”Then another voice chimed in—low and gruff. “You? Beat her? Get real. I can’t even win, and you think you can? She’ll smash your face in with a single punch.”The baby voice went quiet.“…Okay.
