Hearing my voice, Eric and Levi turned around. The cold expressions on their faces instantly softened into smiles.
"You're awake."
Eric walked over and handed me a cup of coffee, his voice warm and gentle. On the other hand, Levi headed straight for the kitchen. A moment later, breakfast was placed neatly on the table.
"You two just sat here all morning?" I couldn't help but ask, remembering the awkward scene from earlier.
"Yeah. I have nothing to talk about with him." Levi nodded, shooting a disdainful glance at Eric.
Eric smirked. "Same here."
I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. These two never had a peaceful day.
After breakfast, Eric was picked up by his driver while Levi and I stayed behind to finalize some details for the studio. It wasn't until the afternoon that we wrapped up and decided to visit the studio for an on-site check.
Since I always kept my phone on silent while working, I hadn't checked it until now.
The moment I picked it up, I noticed multiple missed calls from Jeremiah. I didn't even have to think about why he called.
He must have heard from Elsa that I "bullied" her again and was now here to stand up for her.
I figured that since I missed the calls, I could just ignore them. It wasn't anything important anyway.
But just as I opened the door, I was met with Jeremiah's impatient glare. The sight of him instantly ruined my mood.
"What do you want?" I asked flatly, stepping back to put some distance between us.
I glanced behind him. "Huh? Elsa didn't tag along today?"
