(Author’s POV)
Alaric, Brave and Elisa were settled inside Brave’s car, while the other three, Dion, Elio and Nora were riding back in Alaric’s.
The chattering of the nearby people and the occasional honking of cars filled the atmosphere, but the ride back to the mansion was utterly silent in both vehicles, especially inside Brave’s car.
Alaric, who was occupying the passenger’s seat, had countless questions he wanted to ask his brother. But he didn’t want to mind link him, it would only disturb Brave while he was driving. So, he refrained from doing so.
He then gazed at Elisa from the rear view mirror, contemplated something for a long while and then decided to finally speak, "Secretary Queens~ ...."
Both Brave and Elisa were left startled. Alaric wasn’t someone who would initiate conversation, especially with the opposite gender. So, neither of them was expecting him to call for Elisa.
"Huhh? Ye~s, Mr. Everests~ ...." she spoke hesitantly, as she adjusted the hem of her dress and straightened her posture.
Alaric wasted no time and questioned her point blank. His expression remained neutral, "I have been meaning to ask you something. Back at the hospital, Rave said you witnessed Ms. Miracle’s kidnapping in person and asked him for help, correct?"
"Uhh~ ... yes, that’s correct. I did witness it," Elisa spoke, her tone firm.
"Ummm~ ... where did you see it? Where was she abducted from?" he posed another question, his tongue poking his inner cheek.
Brave glanced at his brother but didn’t comment on anything.
Elisa moistened her lips. Tackling Brave was easy for her, since that guy can be considered emotional, but Alaric, he has always been cold towards her. He was a tough nut to crack, bullheaded. So, she needed to give him an answer with no loopholes at all.
"I was at the Crown Opulence hotel, Ms. Miracle was dining there as well. When she took the taxi, the driver seemed suspicious, so I followed the vehicle from a distance. He drove the car to the outer territory near the abandoned forest, and that’s when I saw two shady looking men get inside the car. I tried to follow them~ .... but unfortunately, my car~ .... it broke down at the last minute, so I failed in following them," Elisa wove a perfect answer, speaking confidently.
"Hmmm~ ... so you are saying that your car broke down near the abandoned forest. But how did you end up asking for Brave’s help? Can you enlighten me on that?" Alaric threw another tough question her way. His tone filled with genuine curiosity.
"I met Mr. Brave Everests on the road. He was bound for somewhere. There were no other vehicles nearby, so with no choice left, I had to ask him for his help," Elisa answered that as well.
"Why?" Alaric wasn’t satisfied. He poked her some more.
"Excuse me!" Elisa was a bit flustered. "I don’t get what you are trying to ask."
