It definitely wasn't going to work. Sure, she might be a bit of a penny-pincher, but she had her principles. Money couldn't smooth this over!
What about roping in Elliot, Evan, and Emmett to talk some sense into her? Even worse! If Elliot, Evan, and Emmett caught wind of this, they'd probably go ballistic!
If only Elijah were awake, getting him to sweet-talk her might actually stand a chance.
Tarquin was nursing a headache. He should have known better than to sneak in through the window tonight! He'd rather toss and turn all night than deal with this mess!
Just as he was at a loss, the doorbell chimed, “Ms. Thorne, are you asleep?”
It was Benjamin's voice.
Tarquin scowled, visibly annoyed. Coming around this late to see Elysia, didn’t he know to keep a distance?!
He drained his bottle of water in one go and tossed it into the bin with perfect aim.
With a frosty demeanor, he strode to the door and opened it, asking Benjamin in a none-too-pleased tone, “What do you want with her at this hour?”
Benjamin was taken aback, “When did you get back?”
Tarquin had headed straight to Elysia's place upon his return, unbeknownst to Benjamin. Without offering any explanation and blocking the doorway, clearly not intending to let him in, Tarquin pressed, “What do you want with her, exactly?”
“...Elijah’s lab results came in tonight, I thought she should take a look.”
Tarquin’s expression shifted, “Is there a problem with the report?”
“I couldn’t spot anything amiss, but better safe than sorry, right? Better have Ms. Thorne check it out, she’s sharper than I am.”
“...She’s already resting. Hand it over, I’ll pass it along.”
