    **Chapter 547: Pack Your Things**


    The air in the room was thick with unspoken words when Lyra’s voice sliced through the silence. “We need to talk,” she said, her tone firm yet gentle.


    Tess halted mid-thought, her gaze shifting to meet Lyra’s eyes, which shimmered with concern. There was something in that look that made Tess instinctively bite her lip, a habit she had developed over the years whenever anxiety crept in.


    Raven, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly became still, her expression morphing into one of seriousness. The mood in the car shifted palpably, as if they were all holding their breath, waiting for the next wave to crash.


    Lyra reached out, her fingers brushing against Tess’s in a soft, reassuring gesture. “Look, I know Steven has been a huge help to us. It feels a bit selfish to say this, but he chose to be part of this too. If you let Jolie manipte you, then she wins. And we can’t let that happen.”


    Tess exhaled slowly, the tension in her shoulders easing just a fraction. “I’m okay,” she replied, though the uncertainty in her voice betrayed her. Her gaze drifted toward the window, her thoughts clearly elsewhere, lost in a haze of memories and regrets.


    She continued, her voice barely above a whisper, “When I was awyer at Lock Group, Steven and I were close. He was my anchor. And when everything fell apart, he severed ties with Finn and left the country. I’ve always felt this heavy weight of guilt for what he sacrificed for me.”


    Back then, Lock Group was a titan in Crorus, and Steven, a rising star in the tech department, had a promising future ahead of him. Yet, he had willingly tossed it all aside, venturing into the unknown just to be there for her. It was a testament to his character, one that Tess cherished andmented in equal measure.


    “Talent shines no matter where itnds,” she thought, a small flicker of pride igniting within her.


    “We should throw him a proper farewell party when this project wraps up,” Lyra suggested, her fingers still gently rubbing Tess’s to soothe her frayed nerves.


    Tess nodded, a small smile breaking through her earlier mncholy.


    As they drove away, the trio remained blissfully unaware of the figure lurking in the shadows, watching their departure with a gaze that could cut ss.


    Jolie stood there, her heart racing with a mix of envy and resentment, the cold wind biting at her skin as she felt fury simmering within her. She remained rooted in ce until the chill seeped deep into her bones, finally forcing her to move toward Steven’s office, her steps slow and deliberate, each one heavy with the weight of her emotions.


    Just as she had anticipated, the light in Steven’s office was still glowing warmly against the encroaching night.


    With a cautious approach, she crept closer, allowing only a furtive nce into the room.


    Inside, Steven was hunched over his desk,pletely absorbed in his work, a sprawling map unfurled before him.


    Jolie recognized that map instantly; it was the very one Lyra had handed to him earlier, detailing a factory located on the outskirts of Aetheris.


    The audacity of it all struck her like a blow. They were actually asking Steven to infiltrate that ce and track someone down? The thought sent a wave of indignation coursing through her veins.


    How could they even consider putting him in such a dangerous position? Steven was a brilliant tech researcher, and she wouldn’t even trust him with trivial tasks, let alone something so reckless.


    Yet here he was, diving headfirst into their unreasonable demands as if they were nothing more than a casual request.


    The more she reyed the scene in her mind, the angrier she became, her arm trembling involuntarily with frustration.


    Knock, knock!


    This time, she struck the door firmly, her heart racing.


    “Come in,” came Steven’s voice, calm and collected.


    As she entered, Steven nced up, momentarily taken aback by her presence. But he quickly regained hisposure, his face settling into an expression of cool indifference. “What’s the matter?”


    Jolie felt her cheeks flush, her nerves making her fidget with her fingers. “Mr. Curtis has informed me,” she managed to stammer out.


    Steven shrugged, his demeanor unbothered. “Then pack your things and get going.”


    The words hit her like a cold wave, draining the color from her face.


    She gripped the edge of her leg, trying to project an air of calm. “Okay,” she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper.


    After a brief moment of hesitation, she lifted her gaze, her eyes shimmering with a mix of longing and desperation. “Mr. Stone, I’m leaving in a few days. I just wish I could stay by your side until then.”


    For a fleeting moment, Steven’s fingers paused on the map, but he quickly resumed his focus. “No need. I won’t be here for a while.”


    “Are you going to that factory?” she blurted out, her curiosity getting the better of her.


    The question hung in the air, and she immediately regretted her impulsiveness, falling silent as he replied, “Yeah.”


    He didn’t even bother to look up, and in that moment, Jolie felt as if she had vanished into thin air. The frustration bubbled within her, threatening to overflow.


    “Are you still busy? Will you be stayingte like before?” she pressed, unwilling to let the conversation die, as if she needed him to acknowledge her presence just a little longer.


    Steven’s brow furrowed slightly at her persistence, impatience creeping into his voice. “You can go and rest first. If you don’t want to, you can start packing your things now.”


    His words were sharp and unyielding.


    Yet, she couldn’t help but notice he had never spoken to Tess in such a manner. From what she gathered, Tess had only worked alongside him at Lock Group for a year, while she had been by his side for much longer.


    Frustration gnawed at her insides, and she clenched her teeth, battling against the sting of his cold remarks.


    “Mr. Stone, there are only a few days left. Let me assist you a bit more,” she implored, stepping closer in a bid to bridge the emotional chasm between them.


    Reaching for the teapot, she intended to pour him a cup, hoping to create a moment of connection.


    But before her fingers could even grasp the handle, Steven moved the cup aside and rose to his feet. “You can leave. I’m going back to rest.”


    Jolie’s hand hung suspended in the air, caught between hope and despair. But Steven seemed oblivious, striding toward the door with purpose. “Aren’t you leaving?” he asked, ncing back only briefly.


    With no other option, she trailed behind him, the weight of her unfulfilled desires pressing down on her.


    As he closed the door behind them without a second thought, heading straight to his room, she felt a pang of loss.


    But just as she was about to turn away, somethingpelled her to nce back at the office.


    Once she was sure Steven had truly gone, she hesitated, then revealed a key from her palm, its surface glinting ominously in the dim light.Conclusion
