Martha was ready to strike Patricia in case she came out of the office with a smug or evil expression. But now... she seemed to have overestimated this person named Patricia.
'As expected of my boss...' Martha regained her senses and praised Ivy: 'She never suffers a loss.'

Ivy stared at the white wall in front of her with a blank gaze; the chilly aura in the so-called office, which had the same structure as the other apartments in the base, hardly had an effect on her.

At night, when everyone was packing up, Martha, who was worried about Ivy, came to check on her. Seeing her motionless made her heart freeze.
"Miss Ivy?"
