The chaos in my mind made it impossible to focus on anything else. I grabbed my bag and told Carol I was going to ATL Empire. I had to find Atlas and get some answers.
I needed to know exactly what Atlas was hiding in this tangled web.
However, when I arrived at ATL Empire, he was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he had gone to Rivendell.
I called him right away, but on second thought, I realized this situation would take some time to unravel. It wasn't something that could be clarified in a brief phone conversation.
Forget it. I hung up the phone and decided I would ask him when he came back.
I dialed Lauren's number instead to check if she had arrived. I was concerned about her emotions from last night.
After a few rings, she answered. "Why are you calling so early? Are you worried about me?"
"What do you think?" I replied.
"Please, Ms. Chloe, I'm already studying!" Lauren teased with a lingering tone, sounding quite cheerful.
Hearing her voice, I couldn't help but smile. It seemed I worried too much. Atlas was right—she was indeed resilient.
I asked, "Where are you now? ATL Empire?"
"Yes! Don’t you believe me?" She questioned me with a hint of doubt. "Am I that unreliable? Mr. Atlas personally arranged this excellent learning opportunity! I'm basking in your glory!"
I chuckled and was about to tell her I was also at ATL Empire. However, on second thought, I refrained. She was busy studying, and I didn't want to disturb her.
I held back what I initially wanted to say. "Okay, I was just checking in. Focus on your studies!"
"You, where are you?" She asked.
My adaptability kicked in, and I quickly replied, "I was thinking of going to the hospital to see Trinity. She should be discharged in a few days. Bye!"
