Elyse responded, “He mentioned he had several properties, and | was welcto pick one, but | chose not to. |
also didn’t accept any money from him.”
Taken aback by her response, Victor's expression revealed his shock—his eyes widened and his mouth hung
open slightly.
He murmured in admiration, “Your principles are quite strong. You refuse to take anything handed to you.”
Elyse explained, “I'm earning my own money now. I'd rather not be indebted to anyone.”
After a moment's thought, Victor suggested, “What about renting my place?”
Caught off guard, Elyse said, “Rent from you?”

is reasonable, so you can focus on sorting out your personal matters.”
Elyse considered his suggestion thoughtfully. “That does sound logical. I'll think it over.”
Seeing her contemplation, Victor allowed a small smile to form on his lips.
Elyse remained quiet for a moment, mulling over the practicality of his idea.
Her train of thought was interrupted by a call from Jayden.
She grabbed her violin case and said, “He has arrived. | need to leave.”

Jayden stepped out of the vehicle and tilted his head to find Elyse coming closer, her violin case tucked under
her arm, her face lit up with a radiant grin.
He could tell she had thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Victor wore a neutral expression, yet his eyes, when they locked with Jayden’s, conveyed an unmistakable air of
contempt and resentment. Jayden’s brows knitted ever so slightly. Masking his thoughts, he strolled toward Elyse
and gently took the violin case from her grasp.
“I met so many amazing musicians tonight,” Elyse said, her voice brimming with excitement. “You wouldn't
believe how much fun it was to jam with all of them.”
“I can’t say | know much about that world,” Jayden responded, “but seeing you this thrilled makesfeel great,

Elyse pivoted toward the poised Victor. “Oh, | nearly forgot! This is Victor Hayes, one of Pearce’s friends. He's the
one who invitedto the party.”
“If another gathering comes up, I'll be sure to inform you,” Victor remarked with a polite smile.
“That's really thoughtful of you,” Elyse replied, clearly moved by his kindness.
“Sounds like a blast,” Jayden interjected. “Would it be okay if | joined next time?”
Victor raised an eyebrow. “Do you play an instrument?”
“I'm no musician,” Jayden confessed, “but I'm an excellent audience.”
“Good to know,” Victor said coolly, “though | believe they're already well-stocked with listeners. Musicians, on
the other hand, are always in demand.”
