Ellie had enjoyed her ride thoroughly. She rode Smoke through the trail she often traveled with him. She remembered the first time she was taken on the back trail with her father and the first time she got Smoke. She had remembered when Smoke was just a small thing, she lead him through the trail on a lead as she sat on the back of another horse in front of her father. Those days were happy days... Until that fateful night occurred.<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>By the time four came around, Ellie had already been in her study filing through more paperwork. It seemed like every time she finished some paperwork, more just kept piling up. She finally got a bit of relief when Mr. Drago had appeared. They sat face to face, her father's chess set in between the two as they engaged in conversation about her company. The numbers spoke volumes and he wasn't lying, the cost of shipping back and forth has increased, something that couldn't happen. She looked over the paper she held in her hands and nodded. "Giving you the proper funds would be easily given to you." Ellie put the paper down, a serious expression on her face. "If I find that my money has gone to waist on prostitutes and drugs, there will be a consequence however." She narrowed her blue eye at the man before glancing at Sebastian. She had almost been tricked once before, she was not going to let it happen again.
