A flurry of emotions bubbled within Iris as she dialled Kiera's number, silently waiting for the call to be connected.
The second Kiera answered it, excitement laced Iris' voice as the latter congratulated her.
"Kiera!! I heard you won the exclusive authorization rights for the formula. Congratulations, babe!" she declared gleefully.
"Ah, I bet Nicholas is kicking himself now. His returns would be astronomical if he hadn't pulled his funding."
Listening to Iris's voice through the phone, Kiera glanced at Jace, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
From the way she first removed the phone from her ears and then brought it back seconds later, Jace could tell who it was without asking.
So far, he had come to realize that only a few people could put a smile on Kiera's face and he was glad to know them all.
