Uncle Rory is Here

Aleksis sat sadly on one of the terminal seats thinking about how much had happened in the past five days. Now Alaric was leaving for London to take care of his big project with the Meier Group, a project that she knew would greatly affect the lives of almost half of the earth's population.

She hoped that something would happen that would cancel their cooperation. If not now, hopefully in the future.

Maybe if she could open herself to Alaric, she would tell her husband that years ago Alexei and Sophia Meier had almost killed her with poison. Alaric definitely wouldn't want to work with people who had hurt Aleksis ...

In the middle of her reverie, suddenly her phone-watch vibrated and she saw an incoming call from Lauriel.

"Eh ... hello, Uncle Rory, how are you?" she asked quickly.
