Mia Grant didn't expect to see Simon Adler again.
They ran into each other at Jynsia U. Mia had planned to pretend she didn't know him, but Simon Adler suddenly called out to her in front of a group of university administrators.
The looks from the administrators immediately changed.
Fortunately, Simon Adler offered an explanation. "Silas Grant asked me to bring you something."
'There's that familiar excuse again.' Mia didn't expose his lie, knowing he was just saying it for the benefit of others. She nodded obediently, playing along with his act.
She stood to the side, waiting and waiting. Bored, she started chatting with Simon. "Where's Lee? I'm surprised she didn't come along."
"She's on vacation right now. She won't be back until next month," Simon said, smiling at her.
Mia glanced at the figure who stood out conspicuously among a crowd of middle-aged and older people not far away. She clicked her tongue softly. "What's he doing at Jynsia U?"
