They are here!!!

A minute later Alice and Elena came downstairs.

Shin who was waiting with Simon abruptly stood up. "Is everything okay?"

Alice glared at him and thought. 'What okay? You don't even understand you are the reason behind this.'

She sighed deeply.

She glanced at Elena meeting eyes with her. 'You do remember what we talked about.'

Elena understood the expression on Alice's face and replied inwardly. 'I'll keep that in mind.'

"Everything is fine you don't have to worry about that. We can start with the main issue." Alice replied to Shin as she cleverly diverted the topic.

"If you say so," Shin said. Although he didn't understand the details. He was happy that everything was settled.

Although Elena had a lot on her mind she decided to keep it aside for the time being after her talk with Alice. One thing was clear she can't give up just yet. No one knows what the future holds for them. So she made a truce with Alice for now.
