The day slowly dragged on inside the Draven mansion. Everything on the surface moved like any normal day. Lucian, in particular, behaved as if absolutely nothing unusual had transpired earlier.
He went about his routine with his usual cool efficiency. He spent some time engaged in a lengthy discussion with Adrian regarding matters tied to business logistics and updates about the state of things outside the estate. The two of them spoke in low tones, their conversation heavy with details and strategy.
When Adrian finally left, Darrell entered the office to go over Lucian's meeting schedule and some follow-ups from the business front. Lucian was attentive and calm, never once breaking from his composed demeanor. His instructions were clear, and he handled every update with measured nods or clipped responses.
While on that, he put a call across to Bonnie, who gave him updates. The call lasted for a while and soon ended.
