Chapter 9

After getting off the plane, my subordinates and I immediately dove into work with barely any rest.

During this time, Seraphina couldn't reach me by phone, so she tried to contact me through my subordinates.

After I repeatedly refused, they had the good sense to stop mentioning Seraphina to me.

Archaeological work is tedious. Even after one, two, or three years, the investigation of an ancient artifact might still be just scratching the surface.

Over these years of work, I also met a girl who had newly joined the archaeological team.

Her name was Brent.

Upon meeting me, she loudly proclaimed that I was one of the teachers she admired most.

After learning that I had cut ties with Seraphina, she became less timid about her feelings for me.

Perhaps encouraged by my subordinates, Brent boldly expressed her love for me every day.

I didn't mind this. On the contrary, I felt that she possessed a vitality I had never experienced before.
