Chapter 283: Guilt and Threats

The ship successfully returned to the shore. Caramel left even before Grey would be ready to leave. She was already avoiding him. Grey drove Beatrice home and left the elders in charge.

Grey nodded briefly. "Are you leaving with her?"

Beatrice hesitated. "I guess I will have to stay behind. I mean I need to help you here."

Grey regarded her for a moment." What did she tell you when she discovered you actually worked for me?"

"Well, she was disappointed," she sighed. "But there's nothing I can do about that or is there?"

Grey nodded briefly. "Someone will be joining you at work. Teach her everything she needs to know about the cream so that you can join Caramel wherever she's going. She needs you more than I do."

Beatrice watched his expression. "Is that ok with you?"

Grey nodded briefly. "It is. Just update me if anything comes up."

Beatrice nodded once. "I will do that. Thank you."
