Chapter 65: Real Deal (2) (Teaser)
Epherene lay on the study room floor, chewing on dried squid. After a while, feeling thirsty, she took a few sips of her drink. She rummaged through a plastic bag and found some chocolate, her eyes lighting up.
"You brought a lot of great snacks. Do you mind if I have some?" Epherene asked.
"Um, sure, go ahead. You guys did most of the work on the project, so it's the least I can do... But doesn't it hurt?" Eurozan asked, looking at Epherene in disbelief.
