Solis fixed his raptor gaze on Boss Gaia. "So…this Red City project…why did you ask CEO Alex to collaborate with Rosea? Even if Nerium didn't wish to work on it independently, there is no dearth of collaborators would be knocking at your door for the opportunity," he said flatly.
Boss Gaia chuckled. "I did expect you to figure it out," she murmured. "What do you think?"
"Noir and I think that Martis asked you for a favour," Solis said bluntly.
Boss Gaia sighed. "He did. He really is crushed by Ela's duplicity, you know. Both him and Luna – they really had no idea that they were led along. And now they don't know how face you," she said. "Jovis…now that one is a classic example of still waters run deep."
"I don't need anything from them," Solis said. "It is enough if I get to spend my life peacefully with Noir."
Boss Gaia laughed. "I knew you would say that," she said. "But that's not enough for your half-siblings. They are desperate to make it up to you somehow."
