“I have two letters of recommendation for you,” Jude said, handing over the neatly sealed envelopes.

“One is from the firm-Mr. Miller wrote it. | asked him

personally. He toldhe fully supports your decision to pursue further study and has approved unpaid leave.”

He paused to make sure she was listening.

“Your non-equity partner position won't be affected,” he continued.

“And | made sure he wouldn't say a word about any of this until you make your final decision.”

Kaia looked down at the letters, her chest tightening slightly.

“The second one is from my mentor, Professor Reginald Sinclair,” Jude added.

“He’s highly respected. He taught abroad before returning to teach here, so his recommendation actually carries

weight- especially with a place like Sciences Po.”

Kaia looked up at him, eyes sincere. “Thank you, Jude. You've always been so good to me.”

Jude offered a soft smile. “I just want to see you go far, Kaia. But

no matter how far you fly, Vanguard Law will always be your hbase.”

There was a beat of quiet before he added, voice a touch more emotional.

“You have no idea how proud | am of you. So many people spend their whole careers coasting. But you—you're

not afraid to keep pushing, to keep growing. And | admire that.”

Then, more gently, “Just promiseone thing—make room for your personal life, too. Lucien’s a great guy. |

really do believe he'll be there for you.”

Kaia nodded firmly. “Yeah. Ill talk to him tomorrow night. He's out of town today, but he’s coming back

tomorrow.”

“Good,” Jude said simply, his voice full of quiet trust.

That day, Kaia left work a little early.

She spent the evening in the kitchen with the housekeeper, learning the dishes she planned to cook for

tomorrow night.

What Kaia didn’t know was that Alden happened to have dinner with Miles that very evening.

They made small talk about business over drinks before Alden’s

“So, Mr. Lambert, any recent personnel changes at your firm?”

He hadn't forgotten that Kaia once mentioned wanting to make non-equity partner-something even Lucien

might not know.

With her birthday just three months away, Alden had quietly planned to pull sstrings as a final gift.

In the past, he'd always left the gifts to assistants or secretaries.

This year, he wanted to choose it himself. It would be the first and last time.

Miles wasn’t sure where Alden was going with the question, but the only recent change that cto mind was

Jude’s protégé.

He had heard Kaia had once gotten on Alden’s bad side, so he figured the question was more personal than it

sounded.

“There is one,” Miles replied.

“Ms. Domont-Jude Halston’s protégé. She was just promoted to non-equity partner. But | heard she recently took

the DELF exam. Word is, she might be planning to go abroad for further study,”

Alden’s expression shifted. “She’s moving abroad?”

So she’s planning to leave with Lucien?

Kaia had just finished learning a few dishes and tasted them. They actually turned out pretty well.

Jason looked pleased.

Looks like Mrs. Graves really does care about Mr. Graves.

Jason then turned and sent a message to Lucien: [Mr. Graves, what tis your flight tomorrow night? Should |

have Chris pick you up?]

Lucien replied: [No need. My flight might be delayed. Not sure yet.]

Seeing the mention of a delay, Jason hesitated for a moment.

He chose his words carefully: [Alright. I'll let Mrs. Graves know. She was hoping to have dinner with you tomorrow

night. I'll tell her not to wait then.]

Lucien responded: [Got it. I'll be hon time.]

With the confirmation in hand, Jason happily passed on the update to Kaia.

“Mrs. Graves, | just checked with Mr. Graves. He'll be hfor

Kaia paused before responding, “Okay.”

She was suddenly nervous, afraid he might let the cat out of the bag.

Later, when she was finally done for the day and returned to her room, she noticed a few missed calls on her

phone. All of them were from unknown numbers.

Thinking they might be from a client, Kaia didn’t hesitate to call back.

But the moment she heard the deep male voice on the other end, she instantly hung up.

Still unwilling to give up, Alden tried again.

“Don’t hang up just yet, Kaia. | need to talk to you. Are you planning to leave the country with Lucien?”

Kaia paused. “Where did you hear that?”

Alden asked, “Are you really leaving the country? What's so great about going abroad? | heard you already got

promoted. Why would you leave now?”

Even though seeing Kaia with Lucien made him miserable, the thought of not being able to see her at all one day

felt even

Kaia didn’t actually know what Luna was up to overseas. She didn’t have the tor the interest to care. She

only said that to get under Alden’s skin.

Listening to the dead tone on the other end of the line, Alden knew this number had been blocked again.

No matter how many numbers he switched to, they would all end up the sway.

Suddenly, he hated Lucien with a burning intensity.

It wasn’t enough that he'd driven Luna away-now it felt like he

wanted to disappear with Kaia too.

Alden immediately called Zane.

“Dad, when's Lucien getting back from his business trip?”

“Around six or seven tomorrow evening, | think. Why? What's going on?”

Alden’s eyes narrowed, cold and focused.

He was going to confront Lucien-face-to-face.
