Chapter 121: You're all the same

After returning from the prison visit, Layla attended a meeting with an important client. Finally back in her office, she sank into her swivel chair, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. She pulled out her phone, glancing at the screen. "Lucius should have landed in Spain by now," she murmured to herself, and her fingers hovered over the call icon just as his name lit up on the screen.

A smile softened her features as she answered, lifting the phone to her ear. "I was just about to call you. Have you and Roger arrived safely?" she asked.

"Yes, we've checked into the hotel," Lucius replied in his usual calm tone.

"Good. You should get some rest then," Layla suggested gently.

"It wasn't a long journey," he assured her. "I'm planning to head out soon to take care of what I came here for. The sooner, the better."

She nodded. "You're right. Just be careful," she said, a hint of concern in her voice.
