Eric often had professional responsibilities to manage, so he might simply be occupied. Recently, Eric had been overwhelmed with tasks, and their video calls had become less frequent.
Despite this, Kate couldn’t dismiss a lingering sense of worry.
Could something be wrong?
No, nothing could have happened! Eric would be fine.
Kate kept reassuring herself, finally managing to suppress her anxiety.
“Shall we head to the airport and prepare to go back Home?”
Hendrick, reading Kate’s mind, gently proposed.
“Okay.”
Kate exhaled deeply and consented. They had intended to complete their tour of the fashion design exhibition before returning home. Hendrick’s business deal was settled, and his team could manage the remaining tasks.
She faced Linus and asked, “Linus, are you coming back with us?”
Linus paused briefly. He was inclined to refuse, but seeing Kate’s hopeful expression, he nodded and replied, Tll join you and stay for a bit before leaving!
The group quickly gathered their things and hurried to the airport.

Lucas apologised, “I apologise, Madam. Boss is currently in a meeting and likely missed your call. Is there a message you’d like me to pass on to him?”
Kate let out a sigh of relief, “That’s okay. I’m on my way back from Krusada now.”
Lucas paused briefly on the other end of the line, then asked, “Why the hurry to come back? Madam, why not extend your stay in Krusada for a while longer?”
“It’s not the same without Eric. I’m returning with Hendrick.”
Above all, she longed for Eric.
She
yearned to return home swiftly and be in Eric’s embrace!
“Understood, Madam. We’re prepared here and will be ready to pick you up on time.”
Kate also requested Lucas to make sure Eric didn’t exhaust himself, then concluded the call and proceeded to the boarding gate with Hendrick and the rest.
Following her conversation with Lucas, Kate felt somewhat relieved. It was reasonable for Eric to miss her calls during a meeting.
Meanwhile, in Haldoria.
Lucas paused, his gaze fixed on Eric. “Boss, Madam and the rest have already boarded the plane. Are you truly departing now?”
Eric’s demeanour remained icy. “We must go to Bastilla.”
Lucas remained uncertain. “What happens if Madam returns and doesn’t find you here?”
Eric met his gaze with a steely resolve. “I have my ways,” he replied firmly.
After a brief silence, he continued, “Norify the bodyguards back home to safeguard Kate. Don’t let her wander or go out recklessly. George should keep a close eye on her.”
Lucas sighed softly and responded promptly, “Understood.”
