Elijah leaned lazily against the polished mahogany counter, phone in hand as his thumbs glided across the glowing screen. The salesgirl’s cheap vanilla perfume tried to mask the exhaustion that clung faintly to the air while his detached reflection shimmered in the glass countertop. The double glass doors separating the waiting room and the main boutique parted, and Bartholomew strode in with measured confidence. Behind him, two guards pushed chrome trolleys piled high with garment bags and boxes, the branded luxury logos shouting money. "My lord," Bartholomew’s proud tone carried caution as he halted a few feet away. "Do you love these… or should we pick other ones?" Elijah slid his phone into his inner pocket and turned, his icing gaze flying to the trolleys. "Hmmm. I can’t come all the way from San Dicevey to the capital just for scraps.

The Aviatux Luxury Manor guests' dining hall was a sight of pure elegance. A grand chandelier bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off the polished marble floor. Towering black-and-gold columns lined the walls, while deep crimson drapes framed massive windows overlooking the glowing gardens. The air carried the soft hum of Aveston's orchestral music, blending with murmured conversations.

"What's that?" Eddie glanced at him questioningly. "Stop beating yourself up over her. She’s not worth it. Focus on what’s ahead, man. You’ve got too much potential to waste it on someone who didn’t appreciate you." Eddie let out a heavy sigh, feeling a small flicker of hope stir within him. "Thanks, Phil," he said, his voice steadier this time. "Thanks for always being there for me, I hope I will have the power to also be there for you in the nearest future." "That’s what I’m here for, Now, let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow’s another lecture day," Phil replied with a grin as he beat Eddie's chest playfully, "and remember, Mrs Patricia, the vice chancellor herself promised your departments an ‘early in the morning’ session. You don’t want to be late." As Phil settled into his bed, Eddie lay awake for a while longer, Phil’s words echoing in his mind before sleep finally shut his eyes. The next morning, Eddie woke to find Phil not around, but he paid it little mind. Their sc
