Catherine Carter linked arms with Leonard Churchill and walked out of the banquet hall under everyone's watchful eyes.
The two of them boarded the elevator, planning to return to the suite on the top floor.
The elevator car was made of transparent tempered glass, and as it ascended, the whole of Machinery City gradually came into view.
Now that there were no outsiders, Catherine's face lost the obliging smile she offered to any superior.
A hint of thoughtfulness appeared between her brows as she finally spoke, "Leonard, you should rest well at the base these next few days. As for other matters... I'll handle them."
Leonard, knowing full well what she meant, simply smiled and responded, "You're not worried I misjudged the situation?"
He never doubted Catherine's abilities.
