Estelle set her empty glass down on the coffee table with a clink and turned to Lambert, "We've overstayed our welcome, it's time we head out!"
Lambert, seeing Estelle unharmed, realized he might have been overly concerned. The truth was, he hadn't slept well the night before, which probably accounted for dozing off.
He stood up, his demeanor once again that of a charming gentleman, "Please extend my gratitude to Mr. Alvis for his hospitality, and tell him we've taken our leave, Ms. Beverly."
Sylvia, with a light laugh and nod, responded, "You're always welcome here, Mr. Brennan. Don't be a stranger."
Lambert smiled gently at Estelle, "Shall we?"
On the drive back, Lambert continued to check on Estelle, "Feeling alright?"
"Hm?" Estelle looked at him, puzzled.
Lambert just shrugged, not elaborating or pressing further. Perhaps it really was nothing.
That Night
It was the wee hours of the morning, but the Party AT Midnight was in full swing. The club was alive with energy, showing no signs of slowing down.
On the 49th Floor
The guard saluted respectfully as Winston stepped out of the elevator.
Winston nodded, "It's Christmas, why don’t you join the Party AT Midnight? I'll just check in here; no need for interruptions."
The guard replied, "Thank you, Mr. Winston, but Mr. Raiden's orders are clear: no leaving the post during the night shift."
Winston didn't press the issue and made his way to the lab door.
