Knock knock knock.

"Moira, I know you're in there. I can hear you knocking stuff over."

"I'm busy."

"...Fine. I'll be back later then."

Juliana sighed and stepped away from the door. Moira still didn't want to talk to her. That was fine, she didn't really expect much otherwise.

"Time for Plan B."

Picking up her phone, she scrolled through her contacts before finding and dialing Jumin's number. It didn't take long before he picked up.

"Hello, Juliana."

"Jumin, good morning."

"I wasn't expecting your call. What is the occasion?"

"I need a favor from you."

"A favor?"

"May I drop by C&R today?"

"...Why?"

"I need to talk to both you and Jaehee, but I feel that I should do so in person."

Juliana heard Jumin sigh from the other end of the line. "You and Moira certainly treat this place as if it were your house."

"So do you, seeing that you've brought your cat there on several occasions."

"...Touché."

"Speaking of Elizabeth, I believe we can come to an agreement. You want her to spend more time in places outside of your house, correct?"

"I did say that."

"Then... I'll watch Elizabeth for a day. She can stay in my hotel room. Or... if you if you feel wary, I can take her to an animal park where you can have someone watch us."

He stayed silent long enough that she was beginning to think that he would refuse her offer. Thankfully, the next words out of his mouth were ones of approval.

"Deal."

"So...?"

"I'll let the security know. See you soon, I suppose."

"Ah, yes. See you soon."

She hung up, feeling a little tired, but triumphant. She wasn't sure if he'd really be comfortable with her taking care of Elizabeth, but she had obviously earned his trust enough to do so. At the very least, it earned her a ticket to C&R.

It didn't take long to reach the building from the hotel, which was probably a contributing factor to how often Moira visited. The security guards, having already been told to expect her, quickly ushered her in and told her how to reach Jumin's office.

She went up to the floor his office was on, then began to scan the name plates on the doors that she passed in the hall. Juliana would stop by Jumin's office later, but first she wanted to talk to Jaehee. Employees glanced at her as she walked down the hall, but no one said anything as she found Jaehee's door and knocked on it.

"Who is it?" Jaehee called from behind the door.

Juliana opened it and stepped inside. "Good morning, Jaehee."

"Juliana?" Jaehee temporarily abandoned whatever she had been working on to stand up and greet her. "I wasn't expecting you to visit."

"I asked Jumin to allow me to stop by."

"Did you come to talk about the party...?"

Juliana shook her head. "No, no, this is not about the RFA party." She sat down on an available chair and turned it towards Jaehee's desk. "I just wanted to talk to you about Moira."
