On a quiet afternoon in early spring, Ashrik saw Lucille's name light up on his screen. Instead of the usual notification of her replying to his rare posts on social media, it was a message this time.
They rarely exchanged messages and even rarely shared things on their social media. But whenever one of them did, they would take some time to leave comments.
On that day, the office was unusually calm. Half of his team was out on client visits, while the other half bent over spreadsheets and other documents.
Ashrik was heading to the pantry for another cup of coffee when his notification buzzed. He had almost ignored the soft vibration until he saw her name.
[Lucy: Brother Ash, are you free? I need to interview someone from your company. It's for my project. Can you help me? Please~ (QwQ)]
Ashrik lifted one brow, recalling that she should be preoccupied with various projects before her graduation this summer. He stared at the message for a second longer than necessary.
