With his charcoal jacket securely slung over his arm, Theo gave Aurora a final, warm smile and a brief wave goodbye before climbing down the stairs to the garage. For that night, he chose to drive his sports car. The engine of his car purred to life with a refined, muted growl as he guided the vehicle down the long, paved driveway of Pedrarruna Manor, passing through the heavily fortified gates.
Ayia's house was located nearby, nestled comfortably within the same district of Elffire City. In just a couple of minutes, the short, smooth drive brought him right up to the perimeter of her estate. The massive security gates recognized his vehicle immediately, swinging inward to grant him entry. Theo smoothly pulled the car up the driveway, bringing it to an elegant halt right in front of the main entrance. Slipping out of the driver's seat, he smoothed down his dark button-down shirt and stepped up to the large, polished front door, knocking on it with a steady, confident rhythm.
