The chaos in my mind made it impossible to focus on anything else. I grabbed my bag and told Carol I was going to ATL Empire. I had to find Atlas and get some answers. I needed to know exactly what Atlas was hiding in this tangled web.

However, when I arrived at ATL Empire, he was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he had gone to Rivendell.

I called him right away, but on second thought, I realized this situation would take some time to unravel. It wasn't something that could be clarified in a brief phone conversation. Forget it. I hung up the phone and decided I would ask him when he came back.

I dialed Lauren's number instead to check if she had arrived. I was concerned about her emotions from last night.

After a few rings, she answered. "Why are you calling so early? Are you worried about me?"

"What do you think?" I replied.

"Please, Ms. Chloe, I'm already studying!" Lauren teased with a lingering tone, sounding quite cheerful.

Hearing her voice, I couldn't help but smile. It seemed I worried too much. Atlas was right-she was indeed resilient.

I asked, "Where are you now? ATL Empire?"

"Yes! Don't you believe me?" She questioned me with a hint of doubt. "Am I that unreliable? Mr. Atlas personally arranged this excellent learning opportunity! I'm basking in your glory!"
