Chapter 844

Elizabeth washed up and applied some simple makeup. Rose had already prepared breakfast, so Elizabeth grabbed her bag and went downstairs. Today, she wore a black and white suit with a coat. Her hair was up, her makeup light, and her lips red, exuding an indescribable elegance. Very noble, like a white rose, cold and thorny. Declan had drunk last night and still hadn't woken up. The Christmas tree in the yard was already beautifully decorated.

Elizabeth felt helpless; unfortunately, she had to go on a business trip today. She could only admire the Christmas tree Declan had decorated when she returned that evening.

“Mom, I’m going on a business trip today. I’ll be home around midnight,” Elizabeth called out toward the kitchen.

“Okay. Stay safe, and call me if you need anything,” Rose said. Elizabeth nodded and left. When Rose came out, she only saw the tail end of Elizabeth's car.

Elizabeth checked the time; she had already passed security. When she looked up, she saw Blair arriving late. Blair was extravagantly dressed, wearing a short skirt with a white, fur-like shawl over it. Elizabeth was silent. It was a business trip, not a fashion show. Besides, was it really convenient to work dressed like that?

“First time on a business trip?” Elizabeth asked Blair.

Elizabeth asked, “Did you dress like this on your previous trips too?”

Blair laughed, “What do you mean? It’s the modern age; are you seriously going to tell me what to wear? We’re both women; there’s no need for that, right?” Elizabeth was speechless. She didn’t say much, did she?

“Fine, pretend I didn’t say anything,” Elizabeth smiled. Blair snorted. Just then, the boarding started.

Chapter 844 (continued)

Elizabeth traveled light today, carrying only a large bag with makeup for touch-ups and documents related to Berenity Leaf. She had considered bringing a neck pillow, but it was too inconvenient, so she didn’t. Technically, Blair, as her assistant, should be traveling with her and should have prepared these things. Seeing Blair’s exquisite IV bag, it was clear Blair hadn’t prepared anything. Blair was just tagging along for fun. Elizabeth was worried. Blair might not be of any help and could even cause trouble. Elizabeth bought herself a business-class ticket, while Sheldon was on a first-class ticket. As soon as they boarded, they sat separately.

Blair was a bit unhappy seeing Elizabeth in business class. She messaged Sheldon: Why did you buy Elizabeth a business-class ticket and me a regular one?

Sheldon: (Elizabeth bought her own ticket.)

Seeing Sheldon’s reply, Blair shut up.

Sheldon: [You can buy a business-class ticket yourself too.]

Blair: [What if she gets reimbursed later?]

Sheldon: [Blair. Stop thinking so poorly of Elizabeth. I want you to understand who Elizabeth is! For you to come to the institute to gain skills! Blair, if you keep causing trouble, you can leave the institute.]

Just reading the message, Blair could tell Sheldon was angry. Sheldon was known for his good temper. If you could feel his anger through text, he was really mad. She didn’t say anything else, only replying with “Sorry,” and then sat quietly.
