And Osiris doesn't even look at her when he speaks.
Clearly, he doesn't want her to stay.
But why?
Why does he still want to keep the place where Elena lived!
"Aussie, do you still have feelings for--"
Before the words could be spoken, she bit down hard.
No, she won't admit it. A woman like Elena could never leave a mark on Osiris's heart!
It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Amanda's mind turned a circle, but ultimately her face still showed the usual gentleness and vulnerability.
...
"In the second drawer of the bedside table on the left side of my room, yes, the blue velvet jewelry box, did you get it? Then hurry over, I'm running out of time."
Gert hung up the phone, and Elena hastily grabbed a piece of clothing from the wardrobe before rushing out the door. Once in the car, her rapid breathing gave her a suffocating sensation of weightlessness. "To Hilton Airport," she said the address, almost breathless.
Blame it all on Gert, this scatterbrain who managed to leave the valuable jewelry to be delivered at home while on a business trip.
Elena leaned back in her chair, her breathing gradually calming down, finally giving her the chance to check the items Gert had asked her to deliver.
Beneath the velvet fabric was a leaf-shaped tie clip, unique and dignified, definitely not cheap.
Those who can afford to give gifts are either rich or noble. Elena suddenly thought of William. But soon, she shook her head. It's not possible, it's not possible.
She has already made it very clear to William. With William's character, he wouldn't do such a thing. She chuckled dryly, thinking she must have been overthinking it. "Hey, I've arrived. Where are you?"
Apart from the time spent in traffic, when Elena arrived at the airport, the screen was displaying the departure time of the most recent flight. Holding her phone, she looked around the crowd, trying to spot Gert, who was taller than most people by a head. "Gate C1? I'm on my way."
Fortunately, she was at home today, otherwise this thing definitely wouldn't have been delivered in time. Gert has always been in a hurry to do things, and Elena really never doubted the truth of his phone call. It wasn't until she finally saw the tall figure in the crowd that she realized she had been deceived by Gert.
A man wearing a duckbill cap is standing in front of Gert. The two seem to be having a conversation. The man's black overcoat reaches just to his knees, and his light-colored pants give him a tall and relaxed appearance. He has a pair of sunglasses perched on his nose. When he notices Gert suddenly looking in a certain direction and waving enthusiastically, his heart starts pounding. Elena stands silently in place, suddenly feeling hesitant about approaching.
She shouldn't have listened to Gert so honestly, without even asking, just letting things happen.
She walked over reluctantly, "Hi."
She greeted the man without much enthusiasm, looking at his brown eyes after he took off his sunglasses, subconsciously looking away.
"Hey, Elena."
William pinched the middle of his sunglasses, feeling a bit happy and a bit frustrated, "I didn't expect you to come and see me."
It seems he also knows that their relationship is quite complicated now.
Even though he was excited in his heart, he couldn't show too much on his face to make Elena uncomfortable.
"This is for you."
Having already seen William and with Gert looking encouraging, Elena couldn't help but understand what was going on.
She resisted the urge to sigh and handed the jewelry box she had brought towards William. "It's from Gert. I hope you'll have a good impression of Country A from this trip."
William's eyes lit up at first sight of the gift from Elena, but dimmed upon hearing that it was from Gert. He should have understood that Elena was a straightforward person and wouldn't do something that would give false hope.
"Elena is just shy and feels embarrassed to say what she bought," Gert suddenly interjected, giving Elena a gentle push on the back, clearly hoping she would be mindful of the occasion when speaking.
"Gert, so today isn't the day you're supposed to go on a business trip, right?"
Elena ignored his reminder and turned to look at him, a little annoyed.
"Well, I just think since His Royal Highness Prince William is leaving, as a friend, you should at least see him off."
Gert doesn't think it's a big deal. Since the last time he saw the two of them parting on bad terms at home, he has been wanting to help they repair their relationship.
"Never mind, it's not the right time to say these things."
Elena forcefully suppressed her anger. Indeed, William was leaving today, and it wasn't the right time to bring up the fact that they were not okay.
"I didn't know you were leaving today. If I had known, I think I would have prepared something for you." Elena glanced at the jewelry box in William's hand. "But it definitely wouldn't be something as valuable as this." She still wanted to draw a clear boundary with William. William's butler Xilin had been standing not far away, watching the situation here. Obviously, Elena's appearance did not please him.
"I'm very happy to have met you, William. Take care." Elena extended her hand and smiled at William. It was a polite handshake, and also a signal to stop.
William stared at her slender fingers for a while, then smiled and shook hands with her.
"Well, you too. I wish you happiness."
