At the end of the table, Nathan Leafcastle slightly tilted his face, attentively listening to her presentation, his eyes gradually taking on a deep hue.
The proposal was even better than he imagined; indeed, she was more exceptional than he had thought.
As he looked at Vera Wave across the table, Nathan Leafcastle suddenly realized that the girl before him seemed a bit unfamiliar.
The Vera Wave in his memory was still the little girl who always loved to act spoiled around him. The girl in front of him, although her appearance hadn't changed much, her entire demeanor was quite unlike before.
Confident, serious, engaged...
Always dressed appropriately, with neatly arranged long hair, agile thinking...
The Vera Wave standing before him now was no longer the little girl who constantly sought his help. During his absence, she had grown bit by bit into Manager Wave, capable of handling things independently.
Realizing this, he felt both gratified and a bit melancholic.
