Compared to the chaotic scrambling at Sinclair Group, things at Merit Biotech were completely serene.
Willow had received her speaker notification as well, but since she was fully prepared, she didn't feel an ounce of panic. She was the picture of calm.
Silas was a bit worried about her, but not because he doubted her abilities. He was worried she was pushing herself too hard and wanted to make sure she wasn't exhausting herself.
"How is it going? Can you handle it alone, or do you want me to assign a team to help you?"
"No, I'm good. I'm not tired at all." On the contrary, Willow thrived on this work. When she was deeply immersed in research, she was truly happy, and having a team hover over her would only break her focus.
It was a habit she had picked up during her years in Seattle. She loved doing her deep-dive research late at night when the office was quiet and her mind was at its sharpest.
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Relax, I've got this. All you have to do is check the final results."
Seeing her so determined, Silas backed off, though he made sure to tell her he didn't care about the results at all. He even offered to cancel her presentation if she didn't feel like doing it. Her comfort was his only priority.
Before he left, Silas casually mentioned, "Sinclair Group is also sending a team to the summit."
Willow didn't even flinch at the news. Her expression remained perfectly neutral.
But Silas was stubborn. "I'm going."
When Saturday rolled around, Martha Mercer was absolutely overjoyed to see Silas and Willow walk through the door together. Her recovery was going perfectly, with no adverse reactions to the surgery, and the healthy color had finally returned to her cheeks.
She had initially been worried when she heard Willow was traveling to Seattle, but learning that Silas was going with her instantly put her mind at ease. Secretly, she was crossing her fingers that the trip would spark something romantic between them.
She kept those hopes to herself, of course. Martha knew Willow was still sensitive about Silas supposedly having someone else he loved, so she stuck to reminding her daughter to take care of her health.
The day of their departure arrived quickly. Since Silas had his own private jet and flight path, Willow naturally flew with him.
