The next day, Elara Don called Rhun Quinn and lied, saying she wasn't feeling well and needed rest.
She hesitated, wondering if there was any need to stay at the Hawke Corporation.
After all, having a perverted boss above her always felt unsettling.
The phone rang, and Elara glanced at the caller ID, her hand slightly tightening.
The number was familiar—it was her adoptive father, Troy Don!
After four years, he actually called her!
Elara took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Who's this?"
"Elly, have you forgotten your dad's number?"
The man's voice came through the line, filled with dissatisfaction.
Elara pressed her lips together and said plainly, "Mr. Thorne, is there something you need?"
He had already expelled her from the family, hadn't he? She had nothing to do with the Don Family anymore, right?
