Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Seven years ago, Ines's star pupil created a graduation project so impressive that even today, many seasoned producers would struggle to achieve such results.

Mr. Smith had been waiting quite a while and was understandably growing impatient.

His mother was from Verdantia, and fluent in the Verdantian language, so he replied to Ines immediately.

"No problem, I'll contact her right away."

Mr. Smith put away his phone, the weariness in his pale blue eyes vanishing in an instant.

"Tim, I have two friends-would it be alright if they joined us for dinner?"

"Of course," Timothy replied.

At that moment, Ines was texting Jessica.
