"Daddy, with me here, what could possibly go wrong? You can rest assured... Yes, when I meet Ace, I will let him know you were thinking of him."
Lilith sat in the backseat, legs elegantly crossed, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers as she spoke into her Bluetooth earpiece.
Her eyes wandered to the driver's seat. "Did you look for the thing I asked you to?"
Eli passed her an iPad. "These are all the dogs I shortlisted. None come close to the one we lost, but…"
"Inferior," she said, frowning at the photos before tossing the tablet aside. "That auction dog was perfect. It couldn't have just disappeared."
"Maybe someone took it in." Eli glanced at her through the rear-view mirror.
Lilith glanced at the shortlisted pets and threw the iPad to the backseat, "I cannot gift the Old Madam these inferior things. She is Ace's grandmother, afterall. Keep looking for it."
''Alright... Oh, later, I won't be able to accompany you to the Kings' Main Mansion..."
