"Miss Helena, we'll be at the Edison family's main house in a moment," Michael told her. He glanced into the rear-view mirror to make sure the woman in the passenger seat heard him.

Since he was asked to stay close to Helena, Michael has followed her wherever she's gone, including now. He's attending the banquet held at the Edison family's main house. To be more precise, it's the banquet to welcome Helena back to the main house.

"I know," Helena replied with a small smile. "Everything went smoothly with the banquet preparations, right?"

"I haven't heard of any issues so far, Miss Helena."

Helena's smile got even bigger. "Thanks, Michael. You've been a huge help to me. And can you not call me Miss Helena? It feels a bit awkward. I gave you a heads-up, didn't I? Or should I speak with Mr. Tommy Andreas?"

Michael let out a short laugh. "You win. Well, umm... Helena?"

"It's always the woman who wins an argument with a man, isn't it?"

Once again, Michael's laughter was the dominant sound.
