The next day.
After a night of restless thinking, Claire pulled Marley aside once the morning meeting ended.
"Uncle Morgan, I'd like to hand the company over to you for now. I'm planning to spend some time in Nocta." It was the decision she had made before falling asleep.
Gilbert had given her three days. Only two remained.
For safety's sake, she decided to leave for a while. With Zanna partnering with the Lin Corporation, a trip to Nocta wouldn't raise suspicion.
"Why the sudden decision?" Morgan asked, puzzled. The company had no need to expand into Nocta at the moment.
"Uncle Morgan, I'm exhausted. I want to take a break and clear my head. Will the company be alright without me?"
"Oh, if that's all, then go rest. Don't worry about the company, leave it to me. I'll manage everything well." Morgan's heart ached at the sight of her pale, weary face. This young woman carried too many burdens. If she could put everything down and enjoy life for a while, it would do her good.
