It wasn't a new topic; they'd all talked about Camila and Isaac before.

But losing their job wasn't a risk anyone wanted to take.

After all, the pay was decent here.

Just then, Willie's phone rang.

It was from Alick.

They had arranged this call beforehand.

So he had saved Alick's name as Mr. Johnston on his phone.

He made a show of displaying the caller ID before answering. "I have Mrs. Johnston here," he announced, passing the phone over.

Camila received the phone gracefully.

"I'll be right back," she said softly.

And just like that, everyone assumed it was Isaac calling.

Then she went to other companies and used the same way to make everyone believe that Issac was fine.

After dealing with the domestic matter, she hurried back to Clouland without delay.

Forrest also returned, and soon they found themselves seated in Mercury Corp's meeting room at headquarters.

As night descended, the office grew quiet and deserted.

Only the glow of the meeting room illuminated the otherwise darkened space.

Within the confines of the room, they grappled with their dilemma, seeking a solution.

For Camila, there was no question: Isaac's safety outweighed any financial concerns.

Money?

She could always make more.
