"Young Madam! You're finally back! I've been calling you, but you didn't answer. I was worried sick!"
Just as she walked in the door, Elliana Lyle was gripped by the arm by Lana, whose tone was both helpless and somewhat reproachful, making her feel guilty in her heart.
It was only then she remembered that in order not to be discovered, she had set her phone to do not disturb mode, so she hadn't noticed Lana's calls when she reached the gas station.

"Lana, I'm back now, I'm fine, don't worry - hug~"
Facing Elliana's act of coaxing, Lana was helpless. She had thought about calling Norman Bennett but always remembered Elliana's words to not tell anyone.
"Young Madam, I spoke harshly, but I'm glad you're back."
