“I know you’re busy. It was just a joke. Don’t let it bother you.” He said. Then, he held her shoulders and pecked her slightly swelled-up lips.

‘He has constantly bugged me and loves fooling around with me. Sometimes, I wish I could be left alone to enjoy peace.
‘However, the thought of not seeing him for so long makes me feel a little sad. I’m reluctant to see him leave.’

In the blink of an eye, Ivor has left for Everpeak for three days. In the meantime, she has made a significant breakthrough in the augmentation research for the latest nanomaterial.
‘I think we’ll finish developing the important technology soon.’
