“I want you to help me look for a suitable shop lot. I want it with a ceiling-to-floor window, the courtyard must be planted with irises, and… it must not be very far from downtown.”

The remaining three people opened their eyes in shock.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Marcus glanced at them. He rose to his feet and dusted his shirt while walking toward the door. As he walked, he said, “In any case, help me look for one. After you find one, let me know. I’ll decide if I want it or not.”

He walked out of the room, leaving the dumbfounded trio behind.

Marcus looked at his watch, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. It was about time to pick up Cordelia from her work.

This was his daily routine for the past few days. He would show up at her office on time when she got off work. After that, they would go home by bus, go to the market together, cook dinner together, and catch up on the drama together.

It was the kind of life he had been dreaming of, but he felt rather unreal, like it would disappear at any time.

As he got down the stairs, his phone rang.

It was from Yelena.

“Marcus, we’re having dinner together tonight, so why don’t you come along.

“It’s fine as well if you don’t want to come, but I’m not sure where Cordelia’s male colleagues will send her to. After all, she hasn’t told anyone where she lives, so I hope you won’t get angry at my sister if those people send her somewhere else.”

Josiah cleared his throat and tried to switch to another topic. “So… Where were we just now? Zennie, what is going on in Centrolis?”
