Eleanor Gray
Those are some faces from our family's "Project Legacy", aren't they?
Eisen Black Wood(ML)
*Glances towards them, softly

They smiled politely towards Eleanor, but there was a PREDATOR GLEAM in their eyes

Eleanor eyes met Sylvia's gaze
Eleanor Gray
*calm
Fascinating. And now we are coorporating with BLACKWOODS, many secrets to uncover.
Conrad Blake
*chuckles coldly
Secrets are best left BURIED, wouldn't you agree?.... Eisen?
*side-look at Eisen
Hearing this, Eisen smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes
Eisen Black Wood(ML)
*smiles coldly
Some secrets have a way of coming to the light, Mr. Conrad. No matter how deep they're buried.
Eleanor sensed that the tension could escalate further, there she tried to excuse themselves
Eleanor Gray
I think I'll grab a drink, could we go and get some Eisen?
Eisen Black Wood(ML)
Alright, let's go(to Eleanor)
*calms down

Victor Langston
They have grown quite very much
Conrad Blake
Hmm... I just hope that the girl doesn't become much of a trouble like her FATHER...
Sylvia Moreau
I assure you she will...
Victor Langston

The trio left to socialise with others
Meanwhile with Eleanor and Eisen
Eleanor Gray

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

Eleanor Gray
Yes, she texted me a while ago
Eisen Black Wood(ML)
Alright, I'll catch up with you later, stay safe and call for me if anything happens
Eleanor Gray
While I call you I'm sure I'll be dead
Eisen Black Wood(ML)
Are you an ape? I meant to shout and call for me... use your brain woman
Eleanor Gray
