The night sky was sprinkled with stars, giving it a very beautiful and magnificent view.
From his position as he lay on his bed, Silas looked out the window and enjoyed the night view.
This was the same thing he did everyday with his family during their family vacation. It was a very enjoyable one to say the least.
Silas smiled at his own thoughts. He loved the time he spent with his family at the beach. It was the only time he truly allowed himself to be free from everything, every worries and thoughts. As he just spent time with his family.
If he could, he would love for all of them to go on a family vacation again but that is currently impossible due to how busy things. And they are to get even more busy in the coming days.
Silas' thoughts drifted to his meeting with Elizabeth. The truth was that he didn't expect the meeting to go so well without any incident.
The meeting also made him to realize that even more than ever that he still doesn't know enough of the world he lives in. He understood that he still has a lot to learn about the world and those that run it.
He knew that climbing to the top wasn't going to be easy. It will never be. There's no way that those old geezers at the top of and entrenched power would just allow him to do as he pleases.
He was aware that they were still monitoring him to see his next move. If he does too much, they will act. He knew that things were always as simple as it is in the corporate world and in the world at large.
The fact that nothing has happened yet shows that they are taking their time and that makes Silas very curious about what they are planning to do. This also made him to raise his guard as he knew that what's to come are going to be a rollercoaster of events.
His thoughts also went to the beta testers candidates. He knew that they are being contacted by different people and organizations with different offers.
Even if they don't tell him, he has Luna who feeds all information to him. He knew that they all have been contacted with an offer and three of them have accepted the offer that was made to them.
"So many unknowns. I should get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day. I wonder what type of collaboration those companies want with us," He said to himself with a contemplative look.
"Meh... It's not like it matters anyway. If it doesn't benefit me in any way, I won't accept it. They are not the first that has been rejected."
Silas snuggled into his bed and closed his eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.
.....
In an hotel room, Elizabeth stood in front of the window, looking at the beautiful night view of the city.
"So, how did it go?" A voice asked.
Her eyes shifted slightly as different thoughts ran through her mind. She opened her mouth to answer but all she could do was sigh.
"It went well."
"It didn't go well, did it? The fact that you took that long to answer and you sighed means that there's something on your mind. Little Angel, tell me what the problem is." The voice said.
Elizabeth was quiet for a few moments. She didn't really know what to say. Throughout the whole meeting, all she did was put up a strong front but she felt that Silas saw through her facade.
She left the window and went to take her seat on a sofa but still turning her view to the window.
"Dad, what do you see in him to make you so sure that he has such ability? How sure are you that he can help us to find mom?" Elizabeth asked as she continued looking out the window.
"Because your mother said so."
