Tess let out a long breath and gently bounced La, who was growing restless in her arms
She lifted La until they were face to face, their cheeks brushing softly together.
“La, let’s go back to Aetheris and say a proper goodbye.”
After finishing her packing and having lunch at the Larson Estate, Tess hearder to thepany.
The professionals specially assigned to her had already been waiting in the office.
“Ms. Ember.”
Seeing the refined, youthful face before him, the person in charge momentarily lost focus
He had not expected the widely known heir of the Larsons to be so young and striking, ezen more impressive than the media portrayals.
“Please, sit,” Tess said with a faint smile, gesturing for him to take <i>a </i>seat.
“I really didn’t expect you to be so young and aplished,” he remarked again as he sat down.
Tess had been flipping through the documents in front of her. At his words, she looked up a hint of curiosity shing in her eyes.
She assessed him calmly, her gaze carrying a note of scrutiny that feltposed rather than intrusive.
Under her attention, the man straightened instinctively, his heart thudding harder.
“You look quite young as well,” Tess said, her brows lifting slightly before her attention returned to the papers.
Tristan Marcellius heard her voice, gentle yet edged with cool distance, and caught a faint. snow–cold scent in the air, as if winter had brushed past him.
“You tter me,” he said quickly. “My name is Tristan Marcellius. I’m the person responsible
press conference.” for preparing tomorrow’s press
He looked at Tess with eager attentiveness.
Tess nodded as she continued reviewing the documents. “Thank you for your efforts.”

Just those two words were enough to make Tristan feel lightheaded, as though he were drifting on air.
Mr. Marcellius?”
He snapped back to himself, realizing he had lost focus again. When he looked up. Tess‘ brows were faintly drawn together.
His expression shifted, and he hurried to apologize. “I’m sorry, Ms. Ember. I lost my focus.”
Tess showed no obvious emotion, but she tapped her fingers lightly against the desk. The crisp sound carried <i>a </i>clear warning.
“Mr. Marcellius, ten minutes have passed since I walked in, and we have yet to address the main topic. If this continues, I’ll have to question your professionalism and consider recing you.”
Her eyes were not particrly bright, as if filled with scattered fragments of light, yet they drew people in all the same.
“I apologize, Ms. Ember. Please take a look at this document first. The first page contains the draft speech I prepared for you…”
Clenching his jaw, Tristan forced himself back into a professional mindset and moved straight to the point.
Only then did Tess fully engage.
They continued their discussion in the office, with Tess asionally requesting revisions.
“Once I finish the revisions, I’ll send the updated version to your email tonight. Tomorrow morning, the printed copy will be delivered to you by your assistant,” Tristan said as he stood <ol><li>up. </li></ol>
Tess nodded and gestured toward the door.
After his tall figure disappeared from sight, Tess narrowed her eyes slightly, an emotion difficult to define flickering through them.
Tristan all but fled into the elevator. Even after the doors closed, his heart was still pounding, though it had finally slowedpared to earlier
“Didn’t you say that Tess was just <i>a </i>woman who didn’t understand anything?” he demanded into the phone, his gaze fixed on the closed elevator doors.
“She used to be awyer, and then I heard she was some kind of designer. None of that has anything to do with finance. Isn’t <i>that </i>basically knowing nothing<i>?</i>”

Tristan cited several points they had discussed in the office. The line on the other end fell silent.
“You don’t need to worry about it, Just take care of what you’re supposed to do,” the voice finally replied, low and heavy.
The next day.
The date of the press conference arrived. After days of persistent rain, the sky had finally cleared.
“What a wonderful day. Even the weather seem to be on Tess‘ side,” Violet said as she helped Olivia prepare their morning tea, her eyes curved with a smile as she looked at Tess with warmth and expectation.
Tess smiled as well, her mood brightened by the clear sunlight outside.
“Mom, Tess and I’ll head out first. Enjoy your breakfast,” Violet said, arranging everything neatly before wiping her hands and standing.
Olivia smiled gently, her eyes full of affection. “Alright. Tess, just rx.”
She called her name carefully, deliberately.
A sincere wish for everything to go smoothly.
Tess nodded, picked up the limited–edition handbag on the table, and followed Violet out.
Along the way, Violet continued offering reminders.
“I heard you’re also a designer for Cavrielle? This timing works perfectly. We’re preparing tounch a new sub–brand, and using that as the hook for the press conference will allow us to formally introduce your identity to the public.”
