Chapter 2356

Balfour was hunched over his phone, scrolling through documents, completely unprepared for how much chatter there was between Nolan and Ivy.

Ivy glanced curiously towards the entrance, wondering why there were so many visitors today.

“Hey Ivy, sorry to barge in again, hope my dropping by isn’t too much of a bother. Balfour’s going to give me a lift back, so I thought I’d just swing by here to meet him.”

Ivy managed a polite, though faint, smile.

“Got it, no bother at all. I’ve just wrapped up my part anyway. Since you two are heading out, you might as well get going.”
