Clearly, he was going to walk them upstairs.
Behind them, Serena let out a sigh of relief. Eleanor's acceptance of her gift was a good sign.
When Eleanor and Evelyn reached their door, Ian stopped a few steps away. He watched the mother, daughter, and Princess go inside before turning to leave.
Evelyn loved unwrapping presents and couldn't wait to see her mom's new bag.
Eleanor opened the box. Inside was a designer handbag. It was a classic style that suited her well.
"Wow, this bag is so pretty!" Evelyn exclaimed.
Eleanor didn't lack money, but she did lack time for shopping. That's why she always bought high-end, durable items. The bag she currently carried was two or three years old, but she hadn't replaced it. Sometimes, something familiar and comfortable couldn't be replaced by something new.
A week later.
Eleanor had just arrived at the lab when she received an international package. Opening it, she found a notification that her patent application had received preliminary approval.
Ian was certainly efficient. He had filed the patent application on the very day her paper was published.
Just then, a text message pinged on her phone. "I'll handle the rest of the patent process."
Eleanor replied, "Thank you."
Eleanor changed into her lab coat and headed toward the lab. As she walked down a hallway, she heard Ryan on the phone. Not wanting to disturb him, she lightened her steps as she passed by.
