At Elysium Biotech Institute
Clifford had planned to fly back to the capital today, but an unexpected situation demanded his attention, extending his stay on Palan Island. As CEO, he was deeply committed to overseeing the operations, especially with the research facility gaining worldwide recognition. Ensuring that every detail was meticulously managed was a responsibility he took seriously.
He usually started his mornings early, taking his coffee on the balcony and watching the sun rise over the hilltop. The headquarters' location was a prime vantage point with an incredible view of the island, offering a rare moment of tranquillity.
This morning, however, Clifford's attention shifted when he noticed Kelly step out onto the balcony below his, holding a water bottle and a book. He was about to greet her but paused when he saw her clasp her hands and close her eyes in silent prayer.
