Episode 5: Meeting an old friend

After Eisen left for work, after few minutes Eleanor texted her best friend Julia Nicolas
Julia Nicolas belongs from Nicolas household, another powerful family after Grays
Julia's father was also an acquaintance of Mr. Gray, but he stepped away in the middle of their "operation" due to some "medical reasons"
Till date only this much intel is available to Eleanor on Nicolas family
She isn't able to dig up more as her family bears a bad name in the society and in the business world also the influence of BLACKWOODS is so strong that she had to halt her investigation
