Vivienne’s POV Post

“There’s an international research forum taking place in Sun City. Some of the biggest names in technology and scientific research will be attending. Professor Tessa Westbrook is also expected to present an important breakthrough.”

I raised an eyebrow. “And?”

“I really need to attend. After everything that happened with TexCore, this forum could open doors for me. Unfortunately, invitations are strictly controlled, and I haven’t been able to secure one.”

“Have you spoken to Professor Tessa?”

Aria’s expression darkened. “You know things haven’t been good between us. I’ve tried reaching out, but she won’t give me a chance. I even asked Julian to help, and he practically threw me out of his office.”

I gave a bitter laugh. “Well, that makes two of us.”

“Vivienne, could you possibly help me get an invitation?”

I considered her request for a moment. As. Alpha Laurent’s daughter, I had access to influential people in several industries. Getting an invitation to a prestigious forum wasn’t something I needed to beg Julian for.

“Give me a minute.” I took out my phone and called one of my contacts. After a brief conversation, I ended the call. “It’s arranged. You’ll receive your entry details shortly.”

Aria stared at me. “Seriously? Just like that?”

I smiled. “Did you think I was going to let you miss an important

opportunity?”

“Oh, Vivienne!” She threw her arms around me. “You’re amazing! Thank you!”

I laughed and gently pushed her away. “Save your excitement. I’ve decided to come along.”

Her eyes widened. “To Sun City?”

“Why not? I could use a change of scenery. I’m tired of spending my days wondering what Julian is doing and which woman he’s entertaining.”

“Then we’ll go together! It’ll be fun.”

“There’s one condition, though.”

Aria straightened. “Anything.”

I lowered my voice. “I want you to tell me if you notice Julian getting involved with another woman. Especially that new secretary.”

Aria nodded immediately. “Of course. You can trust me.”

“And don’t let him know you’re keeping me informed.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be discreet.”

I smiled, satisfied with her answer. Perhaps leaving Ravencrest for a few days was exactly what I needed.

Adrian sat across the aisle from me in the business–class cabin, while Professor Tessa occupied the seat beside mine. The three of us had boarded together for our flight to Sky City, but once we settled in, Adrian busied himself with his tablet, leaving my mentor with plenty of time to catch up with me. And she certainly

made use of it.

“Evelyn, I’ve been thinking,” she said, turning towards me. “Perhaps I made a mistake letting you walk away from research.”

I laughed. “Professor, we have discussed this before. I didn’t walk away because I disliked research imply had other responsibilities to take care of.”

“And you’ve been neglecting your talent ever since.”

“I wouldn’t call it neglecting. I still read research papers whenever I have the time.”

“Reading isn’t the same as working on one.” She gave me a pointed look. “Do you remember your doctoral years? You were always asking questions, challenging established conclusions and finding connections other

students overlooked.”

“I also remember how often you sent my work back for corrections.”

“Because I expected more from you!”

She laughed. “I supervised so many doctoral candidates during my years at the university. Some were hardworking, others were brilliant in their own way, but you were different. You understood complicated concepts almost immediately. Sometimes I barely finished explaining an idea before you had already worked out where I was going.”

I shook my head, amused. “You’re exaggerating.”

“I’m not. You were my last doctoral student, and I haven’t taken another since you completed your

programme.”

“Professor Tessa, that was years ago. You can’t possibly blame me for your decision to retire from supervision

“I’m not retired from research,” she corrected quickly. “And seeing you again has reminded me how much I miss working with someone who can keep up with me.”

I laughed. “Are you trying to recruit me back into your institute?”

“I’m seriously considering it. In fact, if I had my way, I’d take you straight from this airport to my research

institute.”

“Then what would happen to my company?”

“Someone else can run it for a few weeks.”

“Whitmore Group isn’t a university assignment I can abandon whenever I feel inspired.”

She shook her head, smiling. “That’s precisely what I mean. Your mind is still as quick as ever, but now you have a hundred other things competing for your attention.”

“I promise I’ll give the summit my full attention. That’s why I’m here.”

“Good. I intend to make sure you don’t waste the opportunity.”

By the time we landed in Sky City, Professor Tessa was still talking about research projects she wanted me to review. I had to remind her that we hadn’t even checked into the hotel yet. The summit organisers had arranged accommodation for the delegates, so we went directly there after leaving the airport. Dinner was

Professor Tessa checked her phone as we entered the lobby.

have another meeting to attend before dinner,” she announced. “It seems they want to discuss tomorrow’s programme.”

“Should I come with you?” I asked.

“No. You and Adrian should go and eat first. I’m not sure how long the meeting will last.”

Adrian glanced at her. “What about your dinner?”

“Bring something back for me. Nothing too heavy, please.”

I smiled. “You say that now, but I know you’ll complain if we bring back something you don’t like.”

“Then choose wisely, Eve.” She gave my arm a playful tap. “And don’t forget, I still have plans for you. We need to discuss that research proposal when I return.”
