THE ANSWERED SECOND QUESTION

MEANWHILE, on a few floors below, Astrid was also having a video call. It's just that he's not talking to only one person but to three people - his whole family, to be exact. It was easy to guess the reason why.

After he got back to his apartment, articles about the launch party were posted on [Cyberspace] and [StarNet]. Most of them had mentioned the appearance of Duke Grimaldi and Cassius Grimaldi, as well as how they both showed goodwill towards him. That was enough for his whole family to worry about and call him.

"Did nothing really happen after you met them?" his mother asked. "They didn't suspect anything?"

There was a serious expression on his mother's face. Astrid could also see the slight trembling of her eyes. It was evident that the news of him accidentally meeting the duke and Casey had her shaken. But she was acting tough, probably so she wouldn't worry her husband and children.
