Elise grumbled, “Yeah, because I had to wait for you. The nerve of you to mock me.” Alexander chuckled. “So this is my fault?” Elise shot him a glare. “Of course it is!” Alexander quickly stopped her from talking by filling her lunchbox up with more food. “Thanks for the wait.

I need your help with it.’ Elise texted, ‘Send it to my email.’ A minute later, Elise got a new email. She logged into her account and skimmed through it before telling him its gist. ‘They said the first phase went well. They’re planning on sending a rep to Athesea next week to talk about the second phase and its plans.’

“I’m sorry, Elise. I never thought I’d cause you so much trouble. I know you’re concentrating on your studies so you’re not in a hurry to get a boyfriend. Or maybe you just don’t like me, but either way, can we go back to how we used to be? Just pretend it never happened, alright?” Elise heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that, but that also proved that

If you’re busy, you don’t have to send me to school.” Matthew didn’t take that offer. “Grandpa told us we must send you to school no matter how busy we are.” Dammit. Jonah was the only reason she couldn’t refuse him. Fine.
