After making her point clear, Leonora slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and effectively shutting Shania out.

"Work, work, work—that’s all you ever think about. If you don’t seize the moment, you’ll regret it later," Shania's voice grew louder, seeing her concerns dismissed.

Leonora didn’t respond. She stuck to her routine: a shower, then bed. Dealing with Taylor every day was exhausting enough; she had no energy left to address anyone else's grievances. She quickly fell asleep upon hitting the pillow.

In the dead of night, Leonora dreamed.

She dreamed of Grant seeking her out, of them talking, when Taylor suddenly appeared before them, his gaze piercing her relentlessly. His look was icy and wounded. Though he didn't come any closer or confront her directly, Leonora felt an inexplicable surge of sorrow. She couldn't focus on Grant's words; her eyes were locked on Taylor.

Later, Taylor didn't approach her and Grant; he just turned and left, cold and detached.

The moment Taylor turned to leave, Leonora abruptly sat up in bed, panting desperately, sweat dotting her forehead, her heartbeat racing. Reflecting on the dream left her still breathless. Taylor had left, so why did she feel guilty? Why the sadness? Wasn't this the outcome she had always wanted?

Gasping for air, she turned to look out the window, noticing the break of dawn. In reality, Taylor wasn't as compliant as in her dream. Seeing her with Grant, how could he remain so calm and simply walk away?

Leonora pondered this, not because she thought Taylor cared deeply for her, but because his motive for approaching her was revenge against Grant. She sat in bed until her alarm clock went off, then started her day. The dream affected her mood, leaving her notably subdued and low-spirited for reasons she couldn’t quite articulate.

Meanwhile, at Grant's office.

Busy reviewing documents at his desk, Grant's office door suddenly knocked, and his secretary entered.

"Mr. Taylor," she called out. Grant responded with a soft "Hmm." Noticing his gentle demeanor, she hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Seeing her silent despite calling his name, Grant looked up. The secretary cautiously reported, "Mr. Taylor, regarding the investigation you requested, I've found some people to look into it."
