After hanging up, Eleanor's car pulled into the laboratory's parking lot. She got out and immediately dialed Ian's number.
As the second-largest shareholder of the Vesper Joy Hotel, she was confident he wouldn't refuse an opportunity for Ellington to catch a ride.
"Hello!" A deep, gentle male voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Goodwin, could I ask you for a favor?" Eleanor asked, her tone polite and formal.
A low, exasperated chuckle came through the line. "Have we really become such strangers?"
Eleanor ignored his question and went straight to her request. "For Ellington's upcoming trip to Sun Valley, would it be possible for him to fly on your private jet?"
"Of course," Ian agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you." Eleanor was about to end the call.
"Wait," he said suddenly, stopping her.
Eleanor frowned. What else could he want?
"The Sun Valley Conference is completely cut off from the outside world. Even if I bring my phone, it will be confiscated. So, if you need anything over the next three days, call Gavin. He'll get in touch with me as soon as the conference is over."
Ian's voice was low and slow, as if he were hinting at something more.
Eleanor stopped in her tracks, her fingers tightening around her phone. After a few seconds of silence, she replied calmly, "OK."
