It was the second day that Adam kept Tracey company. Tracey was happy about Adam's staying, but Adam was snatching a little leisure from the rush of business.
After lunch, they snuggled up to each other to watch soap operas. Tracey never turned on the TV when alone in the apartment.
"Adam, what about your company when you stay here?" Tracey felt concerned.
"Elliott. That's why I ask him back from the US." Adam said softly.
"He is being squeezed by you. No wonder that I haven't seen Elliott for a long time. You should take good care of him, still a little delicate flower." Tracey teased.
"Only you take him as a child. He enjoys acting in a pettishly charming manner, but he also is a genius who skips grades and finishes the credits for dual degrees in advance."
"Before you agreed to be my girlfriend, I could manage my business with all my time and energy. Now, I would like to spend more time with you. Therefore, I invite Elliott to help."
Again, Adam made all arrangements for Tracey. And Tracey was touched.
"Thank you, Adam. But Elliott had no practical experience, aren't you afraid of his screw-up?"
"If that is the case, I will give him hell. Don't worry, Jensen is experienced, and I can trust him with the business."
"A few days ago, I sent Elliott to Jensen for training. Given his gifts, Elliott will figure out the key points quickly."
"And I just stay here for a few days. No catastrophizing. Don't worry, as I will handle all things properly."
Adam stroked Tracey's head. He wished Tracey would be carefree and have nothing to worry about.
"Alright." Tracey didn't urge Adam to leave. Again, they led a free life, the same as that they had on the island.
They spent 22 hours together, while Tracey would leave for study perfume in the Wilson's for two hours.
On the third day of Adam's arrival, Tracey found Steve, instead of Adam, in the apartment after the perfume course.
"Where is Adam?" Tracey looked for Adam upon her return.
"He went home in a rush. He just left for the airport. Are you going to see him off?" Steve asked.
"Well, let's go to the airport now." Although the departure of Adam, who didn't say goodbye, made Tracey sad, she tried to understand the situation.
Coming out of the apartment, Steve went upstairs rather than downstairs.
"Steve, aren't we going to the airport?" Tracey was lost.
"You're right, but we can't catch him by car. I get a helicopter on the roof. You may meet him before he goes through the security checkpoint." Steve explained.
Tracey nodded as his explanation sounded reasonable. Meanwhile, she had a question, why hadn't Adam take the helicopter if there was an urgency?
The question just crossed her mind, and Tracey didn't pursue the question further. Upon her arrival on the roof, she saw the helicopter Steve mentioned.
Steve helped Tracey board the helicopter. Tracey would like to call Adam but was stopped by Steve.
"Don't you want to give him a surprise? Your call will spoil all the fun."
