Chapter 60 As Seen accepted the offered drink, his fingertip brushed against Tara's. Unaware of the accidental contact, Tara didn't react, but Soren's eyebrow subtly arched as he took a sip of his own drink. Pineph, receiving his labeled cup, was surprised by the unexpected thoughtfulness. His previous prejudice against Tara now seemed insignificant, a wave of shame washing over him.

He discreetly captured a photo of Soren contentedly drinking the hot beverage, a rare departure from his usual preference for cold drinks. Focused on her tasks, Tara asked, "Mr. Firell, would you care for some fruit?" A quick glance at the wall clock reminded her that breakfast had been two hours earlier. "Open it and let me see," Soren replied dismissively, his lack of interest evident. In response, Tara unzipped the insulated bag, retrieved a container, and presented the contents.

To ensure fairness, she divided the fruit into separate containers for four people, allowing each to enjoy it at their convenience. She knew that if someone indulged early, those arriving later might feel deprived - a sentiment heightened by their shared background of entitled comforts. Soren eyed the individual containers and looked up. "You prepared this?" Tara nodded. "Don't you like it, Mr.

Parrell?" She remembered that Soren particularly liked strawberries, cherries, and sugar apples, so she had chosen them with that in mind. "It's alright. You're quite thoughtful," Soren said. He picked up a fork, speared a piece of sugar apple, and put it in his mouth. Tara gave a polite smile. It seemed she had made the right choice. Despite being a competent leader, Stella's thoughts were consumed by Gemma's call from the previous day.

Her calculated abandonment of Tara at the airport had been revealed, and the news of her impending dismissal upon their return weighed heavily on her. That was unacceptable to Stella; she was not willing to lose her place in their lives. This trip presented a crucial opportunity for a turnaround. Stella was confident that Salla had been the one who had truly tried them. If someone had to leave, it should have been Tara.

Stella believed she could salvage her situation if she played her cards right. After a while in the VIP lounge, Soren picked up his skis and returned to the slopes. Before he left, he asked Tara if she would like to ski. She declined, explaining that she preferred to stay inside. Soren didn't press the issue and left with Joseph.

Once they were gone, Tara turned her attention to the television, where a comedy program was playing, and continued to sip her warm drink, content to wait for their return. Stella followed closely behind. Keeping within their vicinity, she waited for an opportunity to make her move. But with Jonah's skiing skills nearly at a professional level, seizing an opportunity in his presence was virtually impossible.

As the advanced slopes saw Lance and Shawn skiing comfortably with a gap between them, their assistants trailing behind, Lance searched for Tara but couldn't find her. Realizing she hadn't joined them, Lance felt disinterested in skiing. He smoothly accelerated back toward the lounge. His assistant, Tiyan Hius, struggled to keep up and pushed himself to close the gap. At that moment, a skier speeding past suddenly pushed a tourist from behind. The tourist, propelled forward uncontrollably, collided with Ryan, who was in front of Lance, resulting in a heavy collision.
