"Oh? Is that so? Remember to invite me to the wedding, then."
"Of course."
"Mm, any news on the Vitalis Hall deal?"
"Don't worry, Professor. I'll personally go to the headquarters to sign the contract later. I expect I'll be splitting my time between the US and Serrania from now on."
"Then I guess this isn't goodbye," Professor Bob said, his voice laced with the temptation of a gourmet meal. "If you're free today, let's grab a bite. I'll treat you to some Port Chandler lobster."
Ashley Bowen walked down the hospital corridor, having already changed out of her white lab coat.
Her brow furrowed. After a long hesitation, she finally said haltingly, "Professor, I didn't just call to say goodbye today. I was also hoping to ask you for a favor..."
"Go on."
After completing her resignation and leaving the hospital, Ashley Bowen immediately hailed a cab and headed for the train station.
